Knowing what Bradleywasthinking. Sierra chose not to expose him. For the Xander family, spending money was just a way toeasetheir conscience.
She only hoped Bradley wouldn’t regret giving her the house later. 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 was completely severed from the Xander family. A lightnessshehad 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 shecouldthinkof to share her happiness with wasJonathan.
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 glanced 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 glasses resting on the table and put them on, hiding thecoldglint in his eyes. Onceagain, he became the refined Mr. Yeager.
Sierra took Jonathan out for barbecue, but after sitting down, she felt the choice wasabit inappropriate.
She had a feeling Jonathan belonged–in an upscale restaurant, dining with precision and elegance, not in a place 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 glanced at her. “Why change? This place is fine.”
As he spoke, he took off his suit jacket, unbuttoned his cuffs, and rolled up his sleeves to his elbows before grilling a plate of beef.
Thesenseof disharmony instantly faded, replaced by a touch of warmth.
Seeing this, Sierra couldn’t help but say, “I just feel like this place isbeneathyou.”
Then, she laughed at herself. “You give methefeeling of someone who should beworshippedon an altar.”
As if untouched by themundaneworld.
Jonathanchuckled at herwords. “Areyoucomplimentingme ormockingme?”
“Complimenting! Definitely a compliment! I’m in a great mood today, and I wanted someone to celebrate with.Butasidefromyou, my grandma, and my newly adopted little brother, I don’t know whoelseto call.Grandinaand Dicksoncan’teat this kind offood, so we’ll celebrate again when they’re better.”
Sierra rambled on, her happiness evident.
She was usually more reserved, buttoday, 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 com se!” Sierra’s lips curved into a smile. “I can’t wait to see him.
A flash 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 plan, 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 related tothatwoman, 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 claimedthatshe and Daphne were merely acquaintances, yet she was willing to go this far for someone she barely knew.

Sierra looked at him in surprise. She hadn’t expected him to figure out what shewasplanning.
Shenodded slowly. Yes,I have.”
Jonathan pressedhislipstogether. “You don’t have to do this.”
Sierra smiled. “But some things just have to be done.”
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 success. He raised his cup of tea.
He suddenly wanted to see how far Sierrawouldgo and whether she would actually succeed.
“Tll take that as a blessing!” Sierra clinked herglassagainst his, then blinkedathim playfully. “Oh, right, Mr. Yeager, Ihave. somebadnews for you.”
“What?” Jonathan asked.

“You’reprobablygoing 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.
