Regrets Come Too Late의 모든 챕터: 챕터 131 - 챕터 140

"Well, that I don't know," Jubilee said to Sierra on the phone, careful not to speak in absolutes. "For all I know, she could have been seeing someone else behind my back.""When I went to the hospital to see my mom today, I ran into someone in her room," Sierra changed the story a little so she could get closer to the truth. "He said he was an old friend of hers.""Oh," Jubilee replied.Sierra took a screenshot from the security footage, cropped it, and sent it to her. "See if you know him?"Jubilee picked up her phone by the edge of the sink and tapped open the image in the chat as she walked toward the living room.The moment she saw the man in the photo, her eyes widened. The phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor with a heavy thud.How was that possible? How did he find Anna?"Jubilee?" Sierra didn't miss the look on Jubilee's face when she saw the photo. It was obvious that she knew him, and that things between them weren't that simple.Jubilee picked up her phone

"Sierra's from a wealthy family?" Cindy asked Pamela curiously.Pamela answered vaguely on purpose. "She used to be very well off, but after her family went bankrupt, things stopped going her way."Cindy had a moment of realization.When Cindy met Sierra for the first time, she had already thought Sierra must have been raised in wealth and comfort. Her skin was fair, and she had a refined aura surrounding her. She seemed to take everything in stride, too."Don't gossip at the office," Pamela said once she saw Cindy had put the pieces together. "Sierra isn't exactly wrong about that.""Alright." Cindy nodded.Sierra had no idea Pamela had just exposed her family's situation. When she came back from the hospital, she noticed that Cindy was looking at her a little strangely, but she was buried in work and did not pay much attention.During the break, Jenny came over. "Pick a time for an onboarding dinner. It should take about half a day."Sierra blinked."An onboarding dinner," J

Holly had already heard everything that happened after Nicholas returned. It was really quite low, if you asked her.Sierra almost said they didn't need to go, but when she saw how excited Holly was, she didn't have the heart to refuse.With Holly behind the wheel, they reached the restaurant pretty quickly. Nicholas was already waiting by the window. Before he could greet them, his expression darkened the moment he saw two more people walking in behind them."What's with that face?" Holly sat down and went at him right away.Nicholas lifted his chin toward the space behind them.Sierra and Holly turned around at the same time."Sister? Sierra?" Pamela walked over with her arm around John's arm and greeted them without any hint of awkwardness. "What a coincidence. You're eating here too?""Unbelievable!" Holly cursed under her breath.Nicholas caught the keyword. "Sister?"Sierra glanced at him, clearly still clueless about Pamela being the Sanders family's illegitimate daught

Holly was already worried enough on Sierra's behalf. Sierra didn't want her to worry even more.By the time they finished talking, it was already late at night.Just as Sierra was about to work on a freelance illustration before bed, John sent a message. [I'll pick Tommy up tomorrow morning.]Sierra replied, [Didn't we say Monday?]John replied, [It's Youth Day tomorrow.]Sierra's fingers stopped.Of course she remembered it was Youth Day. Originally, she planned to come home after her morning dance class and decorate the house. Then, she would bake Tommy a cake and surprise him when he got back from his afternoon martial arts class.But from John's tone, it was obvious he wanted to make good on what he had promised on Tommy's birthday about taking him to the amusement park.John's message came in. [I've helped him apply for leave for his martial arts class tomorrow. What about your dance class?]Sierra almost asked if they could go in the afternoon instead, since he hadn'

The next morning, Sierra had just gotten up and was about to start breakfast when she saw John already there. He was wearing a casual outfit in dark colors. Not a suit for once, and he was carrying a bag of steaming hot breakfast in his left hand."Tommy isn't up yet?" John set the food on the table naturally."No," Sierra answered.John started to walk toward the bedroom.Sierra stopped him. "What are you doing?""Waking him up," John said.Sierra was speechless.It didn't feel like John was here to celebrate Youth Day with Tommy at all. Rather, he was here to make things difficult for both of them. "The amusement park isn't even open this early. He finally has a day off, so just let him sleep a little longer," she said. "Sure," John said. He didn't go any farther in.John was quite tall. Just him standing there was enough to make the whole place feel even smaller. For a second, Sierra really wanted to kick him out."Go back and wait next door." She kicked him out. "I'll
