Chapter 1976
Chapter 1976
Sierra and Johan went a long way back, but she had never seen him being this agitated.
She had only ever seen Johan's cold and indifferent appearance, and he would never say more than necessary to her.
At that moment, Johan was still the old him. Anger and hatred were clearly written in his eyes. It wasn't just despise that he was feeling for her but also pure hatred.
His indifference in the past had broken Sierra's heart, but the look in his eyes right then terrified her. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Sierra instinctively took two steps back. "Johan, you don't love me, and I wasn't supposed to love you back then. Yes, I asked you to marry me but I know that I'm wrong now, so let's stop the damage while we still can."
"Stop the damage while we still can? Will all these end just because we get a divorce? I never thought that marriage would be such a trifling matter to you." Johan emphasized each word as he spoke. "Sierra, do you actually think that you can end things with just a word?"
"Then what else do you want me to do?" Sierra admitted that she had always been the assertive one in the relationship, and that she was the one who brought tremendous trouble upon him.
In this relationship, Johan wasn't just passive. To be precise, he was forced into it.
It was Sierra who had forced him and pestered him relentlessly until he agreed to marry her just to rid himself of such trouble.
They had gotten married not long ago, but her love for him had died so she had no choice but to put forth a divorce... Soon, he would be a divorced man.
Yes, no matter who it was to encounter such events, it would be no mean feat for them to stomach it right away.
Perhaps, it was not that he had found it hard to accept,
but rather he believed that she would follow him for the rest of his life, and that he should be the center of her universe regardless of whether he had accepted her feelings.
Johan fixated his gaze on Sierra and asked, "What do you think I want?"
"How would I know? If I could tell what you were thinking..." If she knew what he was thinking, she wouldn't have spent so many years on him, would
she?
However, she had never regretted loving him so deeply.
"Sierra, you are still the same old you. You only ever think about yourself. You never so much as spare a glance for anyone else or their feelings." After saying this, Johan turned around and stormed away.
Puzzled, Sierra watched him walk away. She thought that he was being so angry probably because she no longer regarded him as her entire world.
Perhaps there were other reasons too.
After thinking for a short time, Sierra quickly caught up to him. "Johan, if you think that I am going to go after your property by divorcing you, you don't have to worry about that. It's your money. I haven't thought about a single penny..."
Sierra's words halted Johan in his tracks. He turned back and looked at Sierra coldly as he warned, "Sierra Yard, you'd better not let me see you ever again. Otherwise..."
He didn't finish his words, but Sierra was already startled by his words.
As she watched Johan walk away, Sierra shouted again, "Johan, yes, I admit that I often find ways to run into you in the past, but our meeting today is purely coincidental and it will never happen again. Just like you, I too hope that we will never meet again."
Listening to Sierra's words, Johan paused in his steps.
But he did not look back.
A few days had gone by in the blink of an eye.
Jefferson and Adrienne were on their way back to Chatterton Town and Sierra was the one who drove them to the airport.
After watching them pass through the VIP security lane, Sierra finally looked away. Unexpectedly, she saw another person that she didn't wish to see at all.
She instinctively looked away and pretended that she didn't see him.
However, Alexis was already waltzing toward her.
He stood before her and said with a friendly and respectful manner, "Miss Sierra, I'm really sorry to bother you, but can I please ask you for a favor?"
"What can I do for you? I'll try my best to help you in any way I can." Sierra said so as she had never forgotten that Alexis was the one who helped her in creating all those fake run-ins.
Now that he needed her help, it wouldn't be nice of her to refuse him. She saw it as repaying her gratitude.
Alexis added, "Well, if you could still recall it, I used to reveal Mr. Silas' whereabouts to you, didn't I? So when he saw you here, he immediately thought that I was the one who told you where he was, so..."
There was no need for Alexis to finish his words, for Sierra already understood what he was trying to get at.
She looked sideways at Johan and then looked back. "Please tell Mr. Silas that even a glimpse of him makes my eyes sore, and I'm pretty sure that he feels the same too. I will disappear from his sight as quickly as I can so that he won't trouble you anymore."
"Did I hear her wrong?!" Alexis pondered in surprise.
If this was the past, Sierra would definitely try any possible means to locate Johan's whereabouts.
However, now that she no longer wanted to see Johan, they ended up running into each other again.
After speaking with Alexis, Sierra left with graceful strides, not even willing to give Johan another glance from the corner of her eyes.
Alexis watched Sierra's back as she left and then secretly looked toward Johan. When he saw Johan's darkened face, he immediately knew that his day ahead would be rough.
However, in the next second, something unexpected happened.
Johan turned around, and dashed toward Sierra's direction.
"Mr. Silas..." He wanted to catch up, but Johan's long legs, which befitted his tall stature, rendered Alexis' endeavor useless.
In no time, Johan caught up with Sierra and grabbed her by the wrist.
Since she was in heels, she immediately lost her balance and fell right into his arms the moment he yanked her.
Johan worked out regularly. He was the type that looked slim in clothes, but muscular when undressed. His muscles were firm and strong. Sierra's nose landed right onto his chest and she inhaled sharply in pain. Tears immediately flowed out of her eyes.
She thought, "If my nose was fake, it would definitely be knocked off by now."
She raised her head and looked at Johan in exasperation, "Johan Silas, didn't I say that I will never bother you? What more do you want from me?"
Johan didn't say anything. He only saw tears in her eyes.
However, in Sierra's view, this was not the case at all.
It was the same every time. No matter if she was angry or sad, Johan would always stare at her with that look in his eyes, as if she had just committed an irrevocable mistake.
The more Sierra thought about it, the angrier she grew. She flung Johan's wrist away and warned, "Johan Silas, if you dare to be this rough with me again, then don't blame me for fighting back."
