Chapter 142 The Art of Dating
Jonathan thought for a moment, then dialled a number. As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point. “What do you do when you’re in a relationship?”
The person on the other end seemed completely taken aback. “What? Dating? You’re asking about dating? Wait, hold on, you’re actually in a relationship?”
They fired off multiple questions in quick succession, leaving Jonathan frowning impatiently. “Just answer my question.
The other person stillhadn’trecovered from their shock. Or maybe, they were just too stunned by what they had just heard.
“You’re actually dating!”
“Say one more word of nonsense and I’ll block you
Jonathan’s tone carried a clear warning.
Thesurvivalinstincts of the man on the other end finally kicked in,and he quickly changed course.
“Alright, alright. Dating, huh? Well, it’s pretty simple to go on dates, buy gifts,and, you know, spend quality time together, if you get what I mean…”

Before he could finish, the call was abruptly cut off.Whenhe tried calling back, Jonathan had blocked him.
But instead of feeling upset, the man immediately opened a groupchatand excitedly typedJonathanis in a relationship!
That single message was like an atomic bomb dropped in the chat.
If even he can date, then hell must have frozen over.
Same.
“Same. ”
The sender, now thoroughly enjoying himself, added “It’s real. He just called me asking how to date.”
“Are you sure he hasn’t lost his mind? He actually asked you for dating advice?
“Wait, who are you calling a pery, man!
And just like that, the group chat erupted into chaos. By the end of the argument, they all reached a unanimous decision, theyhadto go to Mavistontoseethis with their own eyes.
Meanwhile,Jonathanremained blissfully unaware of the storm he had unintentionally created. At the moment, he was seated in his living room, his expression unusually seriousashe studied his tablet. The screen was filled with dating advice compiled by netizens. To an outsider, he lookedasif he were conducting an important academic study.
The next morning, when Sierra opened her front door, she was met with an unexpected sight. Jonathan, standing there, holding a bouquet of flowers. For the first time, she finally felt like she was actually in a relationship with him. Last nighthadfelt surreal, like a dream she had yet to wake up from.
Jonathan, on the other hand, looked completely at ease. He extended the bouquet toward her.
“The moment I first saw you, I thoughtyousuited thisflower.”
Sierra took the bouquet and examined it for a moment beforeaskinghesitantly, “Cotton tree flowers!”
“That’sright.“Jonathannodded.
The very first time he had laid eyes on Sierra, he had thought she resembled the cotton tree flower. Pure, bright, and
noveringly resilient!

Sierra lightly brushed the petals with her fingertips, feeling her heartbeat quicken. Neither of them spoke, but the atmospherewasfilled with an unspoken warmth.
Until
“Wait, you, you two…
Dickson stood frozen inplace, staring at them in shock. The realization hit him instantly.
“Sierra, Mr. Yeager, youtwo…..
Finished
Sierra was about to explain, but Jonathan was a step ahead of her. “Yes,as youcansee, we’re together now, Sierra is your sister, soyoucan start calling me brother–in–law!”
Sierra and Dickson–both of them were momentarily speechless. Sierra turned to look at Jonathan incredulously. Ever since he had ditched his glasses, his personality hadtakena drastic turn. It was like he had completely abandoned any preteens of subtlety.
Dickson, too, was at a loss for words. From Jonathan’s tone, he couldfeelthe underlying smugness.
It was hard to describe, but it was there
Still, he had already sensed that there was something unusual between them, so this wasn’t exactly shocking. He swallowed his thoughts and simply muttered, “Congratulations.”
“Thanks!” Jonathan seemed very pleased.
Sierra, ontheother hand, found herself turning away, unable tolookdirectly athim. I have never realised that Jonathan could be so showy.
Meanwhile, Dickson was quietly watching them withacomplicated look in his eyes.BothSierra and Jonathan had morning classes, so he drove her to the university. Originally, Sierra had planned to have him drop her off outside theschoolgatessoshe could walkinalone.
But Jonathan had other plans. Not only did he drive straight onto campus, butassoon as he stepped out of the car, he naturally reached for her hand. In an instant, she could feel countless eyes land on them.
She immediately tensed. “Jonathan…”
Jonathan turned tolookather. “Hm?”
She had originallywantedto tell him to let go; there was no need to be so high–profile. But then she saw the way his lips curled upward, the way his entire expression softened just from holding her hand.
In the end, she decided, it didn’t really matter after all.
