Chapter 132 Morning After Realities.
The next day, when Sierra woke up, she felt engulfed in darkness, as if she was back in those sunless days. Startled, she instinctively tensed up in defense.
As she moved, the motion–sensing lights in the room flicked on, andshecould finally see her surroundings.
This is. Maybe hearing the noise inside, the door swung openandJonathan entered.
“Awake”
“Mr. Yeager?”
Seeing Jonathan snapped her back toreality. Noticing heroff–color complexion,Jonathandrew the curtains open, letting the sunlight pour in, and Sierra finally relaxed completely.
Noticing this, Jonathan’s eyes darkened a bit; he realized Sierra was afraid of the dark.
“Where is this?”
Sierra looked around, already guessing, and Jonathan’s response confirmed her suspicion.
“This is my bedroom!”
Sierra opened her mouth; she had stayed at Jonathan’s place before but had never entered his bedroom.
The decor was like him; simple yet sophisticated.
Jonathan glanced at herwitha hint of amusement, “You were drunk yesterday. Not even a full bottle of beer and you were
out!”
Sierra, unusually embarrassed, hadn’t realized her tolerance was so poor. She couldn’t remember much from the night before, justthatshe had been very happy.
“I didn’t do anything… did I?” she asked uncertainly.
Jonathan glanced at her lips, “Youdid!”
Sierra’s heart skippedabeat, “What didIdo?”
Seeing Jonathan’sgazefixed on herlips, she felt inexplicably nervous; surely not…
She didn’t dare to think further, and Jonathan’s next wordsmadeher want to escape on the spot.
“You said Iwasvery handsome, and…”
“Stop!”
Sierra cuthimoff urgently; she couldn’t bear to hear more.
Despite the awkwardness,Sierra still braved it, I’mreallysorry, Mr.Yeager. I was drunk last night, I didn’tknowwhat I was saying
It sounded like aclassicdodger’s excuse, butthat’sall Sierra could say. “So, it doesn’t count?”
Jonathanlookedat her, his expression cooling. Sierra, feeling bold, nodded.
Jonathan smiled faintly,“But what if I took it seriously?”
He continued with interest,ignoringher shocked look,
“You didn’t just say I was handsome;youkissed me, saidyouliked me,asked if I wanted to be your boyfriend, and…”

Sierra covered her head, unable to face Jonathan, fully believing what hesaid.

Finished
Because deep down, she really felt that way; she had been restraining herself, her reason reminding her of the gap between her and Jonathan, yet she knew Jonathanwasdifferent for her.
She thought she could keep it hidden forever, fooling both Jonathan and herself.
She hadn’t expected a single beer to ruin it all. She didn’tknowhow to face Jonathan now, her panic urging her to flee, but Jonathan blocked her at the door, saying things that made her heart race.
“So, youreallyplanto deny it?”
Sierra looked down, unable to meet Jonathan’s gaze, and obviously didn’t see the amusement and heat in his eyes.
“Mr. Yeager, I’m really sorry, I was drunk, I…”
She wanted to say itwasn’tintentional, butJonathancut her off.
“Denying it won’twork; I heard everything, and I already agreed!”
“What?”
Sierra instinctively looked up. Could it be what I thought?
Jonathan looked down into her eyes. “You asked if I wanted to try being with you, and I said yes!”
Sierra felt as if her mind had exploded; his words echoed in her head. He agreed! He agreed!
Rarely seeing Sierrasostunned, Jonathan found it somewhat amusing.
He lightly caressed her cheek, “So, don’t think about denying it, Sierra, let’s give it a try!”
Hewasalso curious to see how long his concern for Sierra would last. Having lived nearly three decades, this was the first time he cared so much about someone.
The moment his warm fingers touched her skin, Sierra finally snapped out of it. Her eyelashes fluttered as she looked up at the tall man in front of her, then suddenly stepped back.
