RedNovelChapter 240 Back to School Madison's words were becoming much more inappropriate by the minute, so Sierra quickly reached out to cover her mouth.
As the two of them played around, the suit jacket fell to the ground.
Madison clicked her tongue, picked up the jacket, and said, "Mr. Gray's quite considerate, but it seems like there's something wrong with his body." "What on earth are you saying?" Sierra asked exasperatedly after snatching the suit jacket back.
Madison crossed her arms and looked her up and down.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"You're beautiful, and you have such a good body. How can he not ask you to stay the night with such a good opportunity in front of him?" Then, she walked up to Madison's side, bumping her shoulder playfully before asking curiously, "Is there really something wrong with him down there? Is that why he's all talk and no action? He could only watch you suffer and..." Sierra sat on the couch and massaged her slightly sore ankle. "Stop making such wild guesses. Not every man is like that. Uncle Theo is different from them, and he respects me. He wouldn't forceto do anything bad or anything that I don't want to do." Recalling how patient Theo had been with her, Sierra continued softly, "Our relationship is different from others. Even if there's no romantic love between us, there's still familial affection there." Madison frowned. Something about that did not seem right.
Familial affection? Theo's eyes were always cold and indifferent when he looked at others. However, his eyes would always soften whenever he looked at Sierra, and the affection hidden within his gaze could drown a person.
After finishing the competition, Sierra's shoulder injury had worsened, and she even caught a fever that night. She only woke up groggily at 10:00 am the next day.
As she raised her arm to wash herself, she had to wince in pain due to the injury on her left shoulder.
Remembering how Theo's shoulder was also injured, she spat out the foam in her mouth and stared at herself in the mirror, lost in thought.
The words Theo had said yesterday with that heated gaze cto mind...
Suddenly, the phone on her bed rang incessantly.
Sierra snapped back to her senses, rinsed her mouth, and rushed out of the bathroom to answer her phone. "Sierra, congratulations. You've succeeded in proving yourself with your talents." A familiar voice sounded from the other end.
Filled with disbelief, her eyes turned red.
It was Jemima, her former teacher. Jemima was also the one who had helped her the most and had the highest expectations for her! Back then, Sierra had given up the piano for Benson, venturing into the business industry despite having no interest in it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJemima had been extremely disappointed in her, even refusing to see her for a time.
However, upon learning that she wanted to return to playing the piano, Jemima had still been willing to give her a chance.
So, she couldn't help but want to cry when she heard Jemima's affectionate voice. She had been so foolish in the past to have ignored Jemima's feelings and advice for a man that did not love her.
Suppressing her guilt, she sniffled, saying, "Ms. Anderson, I've only got second place. I've let you down."
Sensing how down Sierra was, Jemima sighed in her heart. She knew that Sierra was both falented and hardworking, but she was just too sensitive and would always prioritize other people's feelings before her own.
"Not everyone can achieve second place. You haven't played the piano in so long, and you were still able to win second place in a competition like the Marisol Cup. That proves you have a solid foundation. "I've watched your performance video. Why did you make a mistake on the last sustained note? That isn't something you should have messed up on." Sierra pursed her lips and told Jemima about her shoulder injury. "You're injured? How serious is it?"
Jemima had always cared about Sierra greatly, so when she heard that Sierra had competed in them competition despite having a shoulder injury, she scolded, "Do you know how important a pianist's hands are? "If you're injured, you should have focused on your recovery. There are plenty of competitions for you to join in the future. Sierra, I don't wish to see you destroy yourself."
