Regrets Come Too Late のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 421 - チャプター 430

There was surprise in Sierra's eyes. She hadn't expected him to say something like that.All this time, what she worried about the most was that the divorce would hurt Tommy emotionally, but she couldn't swallow her anger and keep living with John. That was why she had been saying yes to almost everything Tommy asked for.If he wanted to see John, she never stopped him.If school was out, she wouldn't say no if he wanted to go back to Jade City.As long as he grew up healthy and happy, she was willing to agree to those things."He probably won't come," Sierra said, remembering that John was still in the hospital.Tommy nodded.That night, he used his smartwatch to send John a message. [You're really living up to your reputation, Uncle John.]John replied with a single question mark. Then, he sent a voice message. "Miss me?"Tommy put on a tough act. "I'm busy looking for a new dad. No time to miss you."John's slow and teasing voice came through. "Looks like you don't love yo

Now that Sierra had already prepared a way out for John, he wasn't about to refuse. "Sure."And that was how he managed to get inside.Robin finally relaxed.If John couldn't go in, he had no idea how he was supposed to be watching him. He could not really let him sit in the other villa for hours doing nothing.Luckily, Sierra was still so softhearted!"This is a gift that idiot Nicholas asked me to bring you." Once they reached the living room, Holly took a beautifully wrapped box from her handbag and gave it to Sierra. "He told me to put it on you and then take a picture to prove you wore it."Sierra blinked.That didn't sound like something he would say.Holly gave her a look, and Sierra understood at once. She thought it was unnecessary, but she would play along if this was what Holly wanted.She opened the fancy box, and inside was a delicate necklace. The tiny diamonds on the necklace caught the light, and the pink diamond on the pendant was the kind that drew you in at

Sierra pushed down the hostility in her chest and reached out to take the box. "Thank you."Cyrus finally let go of his nervousness. He had been worrying about what he would do if she refused his gift since he was on his way, since their first meeting had been anything but pleasant.At least, she had taken it.Watching from upstairs, Anna's eyes softened.Sierra took after her. She was stubborn about many things, but once she decided to take something into her own hands, she also knew she needed to adjust her attitude sometimes.At least she had figured that out."Not going to open it and take a look?" Cyrus asked, testing the waters.Sierra paused. She hadn't opened it because she felt it was not very proper to unwrap a gift in front of so many people, but since he had asked, she didn't mind doing it.The box was made from sandalwood, solid and smooth in her hands.The moment she removed the lid, Cyrus's heart began to thump nervously. "Well? Do you like it?"Sierra frowne

The room became tense at once.Holly tugged Sierra's sleeve and shot her a look, signaling to her it was time to leave. A fight between three generations was not for them.Once John saw Sierra and Holly walk off with Tommy, he stopped bothering with the courtesy. "In some ways, none of us are good people. But I have never said a single bad word about either of you in front of Anna.""You only kept quiet because she doesn't like you," Nathan said.John stayed calm. "If she really didn't like me, she wouldn't have let me in today, and she definitely wouldn't let me have any freedom in here."Nathan went silent, and so did Cyrus."Were you invited in?" John asked, already knowing the answer.Nathan and Cyrus once again said nothing."I guess not," John said.The two older men narrowed their eyes as they looked at John.How could this brat be so annoying?!John didn't care about their thoughts. One was Sierra's father, and the other her grandfather, but the only people who cou

The mood at the table looked especially strange.Sierra's eyes shifted between the three men repeatedly. She had heard part of their conversation earlier.The line from Cyrus about "that child you mentioned has already been aborted" was especially thought-provoking, and her opinion of Nathan kept dropping.Nathan had no idea about it, though.At the table, the three men across generations sat across from each other as they plotted and schemed. One moment, Cyrus couldn't stand Nathan. The next, Cyrus and Nathan were both turned against John.They kept trading lines. On the surface, every word sounded normal, but almost every sentence carried a jab."This is a family dinner, not a business dinner," Sierra said when she saw them acting like they were at a negotiation table. She couldn't hold herself back anymore. "If you three wanted to see who the more skillful negotiator is, you three can set another time and talk all you want then."All three of them went quiet. No one added ano
