A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 286

#Dressed in casual homewear, Sierra sat with her back to the sunlight. Her slender hands moved gracefully over the piano keys, her entire presence seeming to glow.

By the time she finished playing a few pieces, Theo had unknowingly emptied his cup of coffee.

"Which piece do you think is best for the competition?" she asked eagerly.

Theo wasn't a professional pianist, but he had a keen sense of appreciation. Without hesitation, he offered his opinion. "The second piece was the best. It wasn't just smooth—it conveyed the deepest emotion and resonance."

She lowered her eyes in thought, then nodded in agreement.

With the decision made, the weight on her shoulders instantly lightened, and a smile spread across her lips. "Then, I'll go with that one. I'll send it to Ms. Anderson later.

"By the way, why aren't you at the office today?"

Setting his empty cup on the piano, he hesitated for once. "I have a gathering with some friends. I want to take you with me."

Her fingers, which had been idly pressing the piano keys, suddenly stilled. A deep, resonant note echoed in the room, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

He pressed further. "Will you come?"

She hesitated. Their relationship wasn't at the stage where she needed to meet his friends, but his feelings for her were becoming more and more evident.

And what about her? Did she like him?

She thought carefully. She didn't dislike him. Whether in moments of intimacy or daily life, there wasn't a single thing about him that repelled her.

Since their marriage, living together had been unexpectedly comfortable without any sense of unease.

If things could always remain this way, it wouldn't be bad at all.

She lifted her gaze to him. Her eyes traced his sharp features and his broad and sturdy shoulders. A phrase Madison had once mentioned suddenly surfaced in her mind—"Theo is a rare catch of a man. You won't lose out."
