Chapter 167IsJonathan Family?
He suddenly lowered his head and bit Sierra’s neck.
Just as Sierra let out a small sound, Jonathan abruptly let go of her, flipped over, and got out of bed. He didn’t evenglanceat Sierra before heading straight to the bathroom. Soon, the sound of running water filled the air, accompanied by some suppressed, heavy breathing.
Of course, Sierra knew what those sounds meant. She raised a hand to her face, feeling how unbearably hot her cheeks were
After a while, she sat up and took herphone. When she switched it on, the flooding messages almost made her phone lag.
Countless unfamiliar numbers had called, and an overwhelming flood of text messages filled her inbox, every single one of them an apology.
She had only a handful of real friends, including Bella, who had sent multiple voice messagesandlinks in excitement.
Sierra clicked on one and listened.
“Sierra, how are you? I watched yesterday’s livestream, and I almost cried to death! You wentthroughso much injustice! The
Xander family is fiomible, especially Denise!”
“Sierra, I feel awful foryou!”
“Sierra, look at this! Northwind’s forums are exploding!
Following those messages were links. Sierra casually clicked ononeand found an apology post, where someoneadmittedthey were wrong for blindly joining the petition to expel her without knowing the truth.
The comment section was flooded with apologies,Sierraskimmed through it briefly before closing her phone; she no longer cared about any of it.
At that moment, the sound of running water stopped. Instinctively, she looked up, only to see Jonathan stepping out of the bathroom, his body still damp and wrapped in a loose bathrobe.
His
hair wasn’t dried yet; he simply wiped it lazily withatowel. The robe was loosely tied, barely hanging on him,revealinglarge portions of his well–defined chest muscles. This was a completely different Jonathan from the usual sharp, suited version of himself. His hair was messy tousled, exuding a wild vibe.
Although she had known that Jonathanhadsuch a vibe to him, she was still surprised when she saw him like that.
She instinctively said, So big!”
Jonathan’s hand suddenly froze. He shot Sierra a glance, muttered a low curse under his breath, then abruptly turned and stormed back into the bathroom.
The loud bang of the door slamming shut finally made Sierra realize what she had just said, and herfaceinstantly burned.

She didn’t. She just wanted to complimenthisgoodphysique.
Hearing the suppressed breathing sounds coming from the bathroom again, Sierra’ws face flushed an even deeper red. She quickly slipped out of the bedroom.
She finally believed thatJonathanhadn’t been exaggerating last night. He probably really had been.
She stopped herself from overthinking and quickly left a note before leaving, as she didn’t know how to face him!
When she went back, Dickson was making breakfast. Seeing her come back in her nightdress, he was surprised, and faked a cough. “Sierra!”
Sierra finally realized what was wrong and quickly went into her room to change.
“Sierra, breakfast isreadyDickson served breakfast. He looked at her and said proudly. “Sierra, you were great yesterday! Many people became yourfans,and they said you’re a genius! You might even bypass Mr. Yaeger one day!”

He went on excitedly for a while, but when he saw her calm expression, he gradually calmed down too.

“Sierra, don’t ever forgive the Xander family. They’re horrible.” Dickson felt had when he sawwhathappened yesterday.
His mother and sister had always been kindtohim, so he had never experienced anything like what Sierra had. Compared to her, he felt lucky; at least he had known what family warmth felt like. But Sierra never had. Her adoptive parents had treated her badly, and her biologicalparentsand brother had been just as cruel.
“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Sierra said. “They are not my family anymore. The only family I have left are you and Grandma
Dickson suddenly asked, “Whatabout Mr. Yaeger?”
Atthatmoment, Jonathan walked in, now fully dressed. He had just opened the door in time to hear Dickson’s question. He froze in place. He wanted to know Sierra’s answer too.
Dickson’s question made Sierra pause. She thought about it seriously, then shook her head. “No. He’s different from you all.”
