A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 270

The warm sunlight pouring into the quiet bedroom combined with the steady heartbeat of the person beside her made Sierra feel surreal.

Yesterday, the same person and she had gotten married, making her Benson's aunt now.

It all felt like a dream, so unreal.

She struggled slightly, but Theo's embrace was tight. As she didn't want to wake him up, she stopped moving. Lying in his arms, she found her mind wandering, only to be brought back to the present by his striking features.

He had a smooth forehead, thick eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and a straight, well-defined nose with perfectly proportioned thin lips...

She couldn't resist tracing his features in the air, imagining how he would look when he opened his eyes.

Suddenly, Theo's eyelashes fluttered, and his eyes slowly opened.

Her hand froze in midair, and their gazes locked.

"Good morning, Mrs. Gray." He was the first to break the silence with a gentle smile.

Sierra's eyes flickered in panic. She quickly withdrew her hand and retreated her neck slightly, murmuring, "Good morning."

"There was an unexpected issue during a late-night video meeting, so I got back later than planned."

She hadn't expected him to explain why he hadn't returned to the bedroom last night. Though she didn't respond, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.

Sierra had let her thoughts run wild before falling asleep. She had worried that Theo might have regretted their marriage but didn't know how to say it…

She had even considered moving to the guest room or returning to her old place. She couldn't just keep occupying his space.

However, she knew she misunderstood when she woke up in his arms. She felt too embarrassed to bring up the idea of sleeping separately.

Sensing that Sierra was stiff, Theo reached out and gently combed her hair with his fingers, his usually cold eyes filled with warmth. "I'm going to wash up. You can sleep a little longer."
