Chapter 71 Moving in Next Door

Knowing what Bradley bwas /bthinking. Sierra chose not to expose him. For the Xander family, spending money was just a way to bease /btheir conscience.

She only hoped Bradley wouldn’t regret giving her the houseter. After all, her purpose for approaching Kason was far from simple.

The Xander family acted quickly. In just a single day, her observation period and household registration issues were all settled.

From this moment on, she waspletely severed from the Xander family. A lightness bshe /bhad never felt before filled her chest. She wanted to share this joy with someone and couldn’t help but call Jonathan

“Mr. Yeager, are you free? I’d like to treat you to a meal.”

Ironically, the only person she bcould /bbthink /bof to share her happiness with was bJonathan/b.

There was no reply from him, only the sound of soft breathing.

Jonathan?”

Sierra called out again. This time, she finally got a response.

“Alright.” Jonathan said.

After hanging up, Jonathan nced at the screen in front of him, which was filled with blood. He tapped his finger lightly and spoke. “It’s done.”

As he spoke, he picked up the sses resting on the table and put them on, hiding the bcold /bglint in his eyes. Once bagain/b, he became the refined Mr. Yeager.

Sierra took Jonathan out for barbecue, but after sitting down, she felt the choice was ba /bbit inappropriate.

She had a feeling Jonathan belonged–in an upscale restaurant, dining with precision and elegance, not in a ce filled with the smoky scent of grilled meat.

She couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Yeager, let’s go somewhere else.”

She felt he didn’t fit in here at all.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow and nced at her. “Why change? This ce is fineb.” /b

As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his cuffs, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows before grilling a te of beef.

The bsense /bof disharmony instantly faded, reced by a touch of warmth.

Seeing this, Sierra couldn’t help but say, “I just feel like this ce is bbeneath /byou.”

Then, sheughed at herself. “You give me bthe /bfeeling of someone who should be bworshipped /bon an altar.”

As if untouched by the bmundane /bworld.

bJonathan /bchuckled at her bwords/b. “bAre /bbyou /bbplimenting /bme or bmocking /bbme/b?”

“Complimenting! Definitely apliment! I’m in a great mood today, and I wanted someone to celebrate with. bBut /baside bfrom /byou, my grandma, and my newly adopted little brother, I don’t know who belse /bto call. bGrandina /band Dickson bcan’t /beat this kind of bfood/b, so we’ll celebrate again when they’re better.”

Sierra rambled on, her happiness evident.

She was usually more reserved, but btoday/b, her eyes sparkled with joy.

Jathan watched her for a moment before speaking. “Your condition for cutting ties with the Xander family was marrying Kason. Are you really this happy about it?”

“Of se!” Sierra’s lips curved into a smile. “I can’t wait to see him.

A sh of cold malice passed through her eyes.

A sem like Kason didn’t deserve to exist in this world.

Jonathan didn’t know her exact n, but seeing her expression, he could guess.

Recalling what he had heard about Kason, he had some ideas about what might be driving her.

Perhaps it was rted to bthat /bwoman, Daphne.

Serra had been a rangely ever since she fell ill

Jonathan had a hunch about her motives, but he didn’t understand. She had always imed bthat /bshe and Daphne were merely acquaintances, yet she was willing to go this far for someone she barely knew.

He bcouldn’t /bhelp but ask, “Kason isn’t an easy target. Have you really thought this through?”

Sierra looked at him in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to figure out what she bwas /bnning.

bShe /bnodded slowly. Yesb, /bI have.”

Jonathan pressed bhis /bblips /btogether. “You don’t have to do this.”

Sierra smiled. “But some things just have to be doneb.” /b

Idiot! What a fool!

Jonathan wanted to scold her, but seeing the fire in her eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to say anything.

“Well, I wish you sess. He raised his cup of teab. /b

He suddenly wanted to see how far Sierra bwould /bgo and whether she would actually seed.

“Tll take that as a blessing!” Sierra clinked her bss /bagainst his, then blinked bat /bhim yfully. “Oh, right, Mr. Yeager, I bhave/b. some bbad /bnews for you.”

“What?” Jonathan asked.

a

“You’re bprobably /bgoing to be seeing a lot more of me from now on. I’m moving in next door!”

As it turned out, the house Bradley gave her was right beside Jonathan’s. She had only found out when finalizing the transfer that afternoon.
