A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 112

Jemima looked at Sierra with satisfaction evident in her eyes. Then, with an approving nod, she spoke to Cayden.

"Cayden, take Sierra to the piano room. Let her get some practice on the piano."

"Alright." He nodded and left the office with Sierra.

Deep in thought, Jemima watched their backs as they walked out. She had initially planned to take Sierra to the piano room herself but then reminded herself.

She couldn't protect Sierra forever. If Sierra was serious about pursuing piano again, her talent would only push her further into the spotlight. The higher she climbed, the more distractions and challenges she would face. She needed to learn how to navigate that on her own.

Jemima sighed softly and turned back to her desk. Just at that moment, her phone rang.

When she glanced at the screen, she smiled slightly before answering, "Theo, what's up?"

"Nothing much. I just wanted to check how you are recovering, Aunt Jemima." Theo's cool voice came through the line, as distant and composed as always.

"I'm doing well. I'm back at the campus today."

"That's good to hear. Aunt Jemima, take care of yourself, and don't overwork yourself."

"You've gotten better at showing concern," she teased lightly. "Don't worry, I'm taking care of myself."

A brief silence followed before he spoke again, his tone casual but purposeful. "Sierra made it through the preliminaries and into the Marisol Cup finals. Did you hear about it?"

Jemima chuckled, knowing that Theo couldn't resist asking. "I knew you'd call me about Sierra," came her light comment.

"I'm just checking on you, Aunt Jemima. While I'm at it, I figured I'd also ask about her," he commented casually, as if it was an offhand remark.

Still playing it cool, huh?

Jemima smirked but didn't call him out on it. Instead, she responded in a relaxed tone, "She told me about it yesterday."
