RedNovelChapter 177 Fondness Sierra felt a warmth spread through her heart at Theo's words. "I know," she responded softly with a nod.
Seeing this, Madison let out a tic sigh and feigned sadness. "Looks like Mr. Gray has officially taken my place as the person who understands you best." Sierra's face flushed slightly as she bit her lip. "Maddy, stop joking around. Has Cayden gone back yet?" Madison glanced at the cold-faced man beside them, then leaned in and whispered into Sierra's ear, "Cayden got his wounds bandaged and wanted to stay until you woke up, but Mr. Gray chased him away with just one icy look.
"He said, 'I'll take care of my woman. There's no need for outsiders to interfere.' So Cayden had no choice but to leave. But Cee, did you hear that? He called you his woman." Her eyes sparkled with mischief as she teased.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSierra grabbed her hand, trying to keep her from getting too excited. "It was just a sentence. Don't overthink it. I feel really bad for dragging Cayden into this." Her face showed a deep sense of guilt.
"Ahem, well, even though Mr. Gray didn't let Cayden stay, he still made sure to thank him. He knew Cayden got hurt because of you, so he actually thanked him sincerely despite his status as a president. That's not exactly what I expected from the typical domineering CEO in ." Madison was a little surprised.
She had thought Theo was untouchable and arrogant, but in reality, he showed gratitude to those who protected Sierra. He even did household chores for her. It was way different from her expectations.
"That's why you should stop reading those brainless, overbearing CEO . In the real world, how many people are truly that unreasonable?" Sierra chuckled, and her fondness for Theo grew even more.
He was elegant, refined, mature, and composed. He might seem cold on the surface, but not cold-hearted. "Who says they don't exist? Isn't Benson one of them? He's arrogant and conceited. I'm starting to think he even has violent tendencies. Thank goodness you broke up with him." Madison snorted in disgust.
Sierra lowered her gaze and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "He wasn't always like this." "But the way he hit you was ruthless. He dislocated your shoulder with just one punch. If that had landed on Cayden's face, he might've been disfigured. He was trying to beat Cayden within an inch of his life. That's just too much." Thinking about Benson's vicious expression sent a shiver down Madison's spine.
"Mr. Gray, you need to do something about Benson. If he ever loses control again, Cee's safety might be at risk." Theo's lips pressed. His voice was low and steady. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it." After dinner, Madison insisted on staying to keep Sierra company. Meanwhile, Theo glanced at his phone, and his expression darkened at the sight of an incoming call from Liam. He didn't answer.
"Adrian, pick two reliable bodyguards to protect Sierra." He issued the command in a low voice while in the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yes, Mr. Gray," Adrian replied respectfully before driving off.
As the car pulled into the driveway of Southridge Heights, Theo immediately spotted Liam's vehicle parked in the courtyard. A flicker of emotion passed through his deep, dark eyes. Adrian stepped out first and respectfully opened the door for him.
"You can head back first." "Yes, Mr. Gray."
Adrian stole a glance at Liam and Janet, who had just stepped out of the living room fooking anxious, then drove away.
Theo strode into the house at an unhurried pace, his long legs moving with effortless grace. Seeing Liam and Janet's worried expressions, he spoke in a calm, distant tone.
