Gently speaking, Sierra comforted Jemima, "Ms. Anderson, I'm fine. Honestly, Janice wasn't wrong. I was blinded by love before."
Jemima pressed her lips together before speaking seriously. "Sierra, I've never been against you being in a relationship. If you still want to be with Benson, I won't be upset. As long as you're truly committed to learning piano again, I'll give you another chance."
Sierra shook her head, her voice soft but firm. "There's no future for me and Benson. We see the world too differently—we were never meant to last."
Jemima studied her for a moment before nodding slightly.
She could tell Sierra had let go this time.
She had always known that Sierra was stubborn—once she made up her mind, it was hard to change it. It seemed that this time, Benson had broken her heart.
She gently patted Sierra's shoulder and said softly, "Don't be discouraged. You'll meet someone better in the future."
Sierra smiled, mentioning, "Right now, I just want to focus on playing the piano well and doing my best in the Marisol Cup competition."
Jemima, recalling Theo, looked up at Sierra and asked, "Sierra, did you see Theo today?"
Sierra paused for a moment, her eyes flickering, and nodded. "Yes, I saw him."
"Did he say anything to you?"
Thinking back to the ambiguous moment in the car, Sierra felt her earlobes warm up. Keeping calm, she answered, "He only said a few words."
Jemima frowned slightly.
Theo really was good at keeping his composure.
"Ms. Anderson, is something wrong?" Sierra raised an eyebrow, asking in confusion.
