Regrets Come Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 321 - チャプター 330

If it were up to Holly, she would absolutely do and call in a few young men. Anyone who made her unhappy, she would pay back in kind. She would never swallow it all in.But one look at Sierra's face told her Sierra wasn't that kind of person. She had always held herself to her own standards, and those standards would never allow her to do something like that."You kind of have a point," Sierra said.Holly blinked, then stared at her like she had just seen a ghost."Just talking and having a drink isn't against the law," Sierra said, thinking it over in a serious tone. "Do you know any place where the guys are good-looking and know how to chat?"Holly blinked, not sure whether she was teasing her. "Are you serious?"Sierra nodded. "Yeah."The reason John kept her by his side was for one simple reason. He wasn't tired of her yet. He had never liked it when she got too close to other men. Last time, even if she just chatted a little with some stranger at a party, he would come ho

"Is that so?" John asked Lance, his lips forming a smile."Yes," Lance answered quickly.The young men made some awkward smiles. "We just thought she looked upset, so we said a few things to cheer her up. Please don't take it too seriously, sir."Lance blinked in confusion.A minute ago, it had just been "her man." Now, it was "sir.""I don't mind. Keep going," John said. He pulled Sierra's hand into his, his voice low and smooth. "She hasn't been in a good mood lately."They all just looked at Sierra, feeling a little unsure.Lance's brain froze for a bit before asking, "Uh, boss? Isn't it a little…strange to let other men cheer up your own wife?"John took his time to reply. "There's nothing strange about it. If Sierra's upset and spending some money can make her happy, I'm more than happy to pay."Sierra stayed silent.So did everyone else.Even Lance couldn't find any suitable words.That one line shut the whole table down."I should learn from these young men how to c

After midnight, Sierra woke up hungry.When she saw the empty bed, she didn't think much of it and went downstairs to find something to eat.As soon as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw John waiting at the dining table. Several steaming dishes were already set out in front of him."Come eat." John pulled a chair out for her. He had clearly calculated that she would wake up hungry at this hour and come looking for food. "I made everything the way you like your dinner. It won't make you gain weight."Sierra glanced at him without saying a word, her eyes falling on the colorful, fragrant dishes. John eased her into the chair and then put some food onto her plate. After that, he slipped the fork into her hand. "Eat."The food was delicious, but Sierra ate absentmindedly. She almost wished he would go back to being as cold as he had been not long ago. That would make it easier for her to make decisions and to be ruthless.But now…Now that everything was out in the open

After a moment, the sound of running water came through the line. Sierra heard Pamela knock on a door and call out, "John, Sierra called to ask why you terminated her part-time job. What should I tell her?"Sierra didn't feel much of anything. She knew Pamela was doing it on purpose. John kept saying there was nothing between them, yet he was taking a shower at Pamela's place. No matter how she looked at it, something was off."Maybe he can't hear me over the water. When he finishes, I'll tell him," Pamela said when there was no response from inside.Sierra stayed silent. She was about to hang up when Pamela spoke again. "Aren't you curious why John is showering at my place?"Sierra's reply was flat. "Not interested.""We had a little accident this morning," Pamela said, putting a shy note in her voice. "He got some of my...liquid on him. You know how clean he is. As soon as we were done, he went to shower."If it were right after the divorce, words like that would have made Si

"Couldn't it just have been a partnership that failed, and he ran off with the money?" Jubilee hadn't expected Sierra to guess so accurately."You could've just said that," Sierra said, mind still sharp. "There's no need to keep hiding it if that's the case."Jubilee pressed her hand on her temples.Fine.The kid had gotten too smart for her to simply dismiss."His name is Nathan Lynch. He was the only man your mom ever dated," Jubilee finally said after thinking it over. "They were together for five years. In the end, he still betrayed her and married another woman."Sierra wasn't surprised at all. "No wonder there's always that sadness in his eyes when he looks at my mom.""Sadness, my foot!" Jubilee held a deep grudge against him. If not for him, Anna would never have left home. "He just realized the woman he married can't compare to your mom, and he regrets it now. That's all."As she listened, Sierra frowned slightly.He didn't look like that kind of man, but you could ne
