"Don't put yourself in danger. 131 deal with Kason” Jonathan's voice was firm.
He knew exactly what Sierra was planning to do. Before, he had thought she was foolish risking everything for people who had nothing to do with her. But after realizing that Sierra was different to him, he could no longer just stand by.
Jonathan farra looked up at him, her voice tense "Kason isn't the only one I have to deal with. If you helpthis time, what about Jonathan was about to respond when Sierra cut him off.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJonathan understood the meaning behind her words. He had to admit, Sierra was sharp. Because the truth was, he couldn't make any guarantees or promises Right now, he was doing all this because he was selfish, because he had ulterior motives when it cto Sierra. But couldn't promise that would always be this way. Sierra had seen through it all and yet, she remained true to herself, refusing to be swept away Jonathan found her even more irresistible. His voice softened.
"But I can't just stand by and watch you put yourself in danger. Promise me, letbe involved. It's the only way I'll have peace of mind." Jonathan Sierra parted her lips, unsure of what to say, I had already laid everything out clearly, so why was he still insisting? If this went on, she was afraid, she wouldn't be able to hold herself back. Jonathan reached out and lightly brushed his fingers against her cheek.
"Let's give it a try, okay? None of your arguments convinced me. And as for Mason? He's nothing to me." That last sentence struck a deep chord in Sierra. Her biggest concern was Mason. If Jonathan truly wasn't afraid of Mason's retaliation, then she had no reason to refuse. She knew that a chasm existed between them, yet she still couldn't stop herself from nodding "Alright!" She didn't want to have regrets.
She lifted her gaze, meeting Jonathan's unwavering eyes. "I've never dated anyone before. You'll have to teach me." Jonathan hadn't expected her to agree so easily. For a moment, he was stunned. His dark eyes suddenly shone, as if a storm had settled into something much deeper something dangerously intoxicating. Then, a smirk played on his lips.
"Funny, I've never dated anyone either. Guess we'll have to learn together!" Hearing this, Sierra couldn't help but chuckle. It was absurd, but for sreason, she believed him.
Let's go hfirst." Jonathan extended his hand toward her. “Can I hold your hand?" Chapter 141 A Leap of Faith Finished a long time. Sierra felt safe.
The entire way home, neither of them spoke. Sierra was caught in a strange state of excitement, almost disbelief. She glanced down at their intertwined fingers, feeling the warmth between them.
Even now, she still couldn't quite believe it. Until something soft brushed against her forehead. Snapping back to reality, she looked up in surprise.
Tll pick you up tomorrow morning.
Jonathan's voice was low, his fingers casually tracing the shell of her ear. He wanted nothing more than to bring Sierra hwith him right now, just like a predator marking his territory, keeping her locked in his space.
But he knew better. If he moved too fast, he might scare her away. So instead, he chose patience. "Alright."
Sierra stumbled into her hin a daze, completely missing the heated eyes look in Jonathan's eyes as he watched her disappear behind the door.

"It's nothing. I'm heading to my room." Embarrassed at being caught looking flustered, Sierra hurriedly retreated to her room.
Meanwhile, just a wall away, Jonathan calmly shrugged off his coat. A rare, satisfied smile played on his lips.
He ran his fingers over his own, as if still feeling the warmth of Sierra's touch. Rouring himself a drink, he leaned back onto his sofa, slowly savouring the taste. He hadn't lied, he really had never dated before. To him, relationships had always been unnecessary.
So now the real question was... How does one even date property?
