Thinking about it, Sierranolonger felt uncomfortable about the trip. But there was still somethingsheneeded to makeclear.
“I’ll transfer the money to you.”
She wasn’t short on cash. There was still plenty left fromwhatshe took from Bradley, and her research had already been patented. Anyone who used it had to pay, and once the drug passed trials and hit the market, the money would keep rolling
AfraidJohnathanwould refuse, she added. “Youhave totakeit. Otherwise, grandma won’t be able to enjoy herself properly.”
Johnathan chuckled. “But I didn’t pay for this either, so how can I take your money? This island belongs to Maddox. Whether we come or not, he has to spend money maintaining it. By being here, we’re actually helping him get some use out of it.”

Sierra was speechless.
She had to admit–she was witnessing a whole new level of wealth. Compared to them, the Xander family was nothing.
Deciding not to dwell on it, she led her grandmother around for a tour.
At first, Sierra’s grandmother felt a little uneasy, but after Sierra’s explanation, she slowly started to relax.
She had never seensuchabeautiful place in her entire life.
Honestly, neither had Sierra.
The island’s chefs had already prepared dinner–fresh seafood, caughtandcooked on the spot, with incredibleflavor.
After dinner, Sierra’s grandmother sat outside for a while before gettingtired. Sierra helped her inside to rest and only came out after she had fallen asleep.
Since it was still early. Johnathan took Sierra for a walk.
Dickson, being perceptive, didn’t follow
Now, he finally understood why Mr. Johnathan always looked at him with such displeasure–he was getting in the way of their relationship.
Realizing this, Dickson wisely gave them space.
Sure enough, after that,Johnathan’sgazetoward himwasn’tascold as before
The sea breeze at night was justright,and Sierra felt completely at ease.
Above them, the stars stretched endlessly across thesky.
“This place is beautiful, shemurmured.
Sierra nodded in agreement
Johnathan, meanwhile, was already thinking abouttakingher to hisotherislands.
He had two that were evenmorebreathtaking, but they werefartheraway. And if he brought someone there, it would definitely attract attention.
Rightnow, he wasn’t ready toexposehis true identity
But one day, hewouldtake her there.
This island is justaverage. Nexttime, I’lltakeyou to one of mine.”
Sierra stared at him in disbelief. “Johnathan..doesyourfamily ownagold mine or something?
She couldn’t wrap her headaroundit—someone withhiskind of background had once beenamercenary,andnowhewas

Johnathanwas a mystery.
No mines.”
Johnathan gave a faint smile. “It belonged to my mother.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to talkaboutit, Sierra didn’t push further.
The next few days were some ofthemost peaceful Sierra had ever experienced.
Finished
Mornings started with a leisurely breakfast, followed by sitting in the courtyard with her grandmother, enjoying the sea breeze.
Perhapsit wastherelaxed atmosphere, but Sierra’s grandmother’s spirits seemed better than ever. Every day, she had a bright smile on her face.
In the evenings, when the heat had faded, Johnathan would take her, Sierra’s grandmother, and Dickson down to the shore.
Sometimes they collected seashells, other times they dug for clams.
If she could, Sierra wished she could freeze time right here
After they had fully sealed in. Johnathan made arrangements for a fishing trip.
At first. Sierra’s grandmother washesitant–she knew her own health.
Sierra was also worried. If something happened outatsea, they might not be able to get her back in time.
But Johnathan had already thought of that.
“Don’tworry. I’ve arranged for a doctor to come with us. And it’s just a day trip–it’ll be fine.”
His reassurance convinced Sierra, and Sierra’s grandmother, who had never been on a boat before, became a little excited.
Since they were going.Johnathanmade sure to get a large yacht. If they were going to fish, theymightaswell go further ourandcatch something big.
Onthewayback, he even plannedasnorkeling stop. There was a great spot to see sea turtles.
It was an experience Sierra hadneverhad before..

For a moment,the usual coolness in her eyes was replaced with pure excitement, her gazeroundwith amazement.
“Mr.Johnathan, you’reincredible!”
