A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 268

Seeing Sierra at ease, Theo finally let go of the worries that weighed on his mind.

However, when his gaze drifted to her bare, slender legs, his Adam's apple bobbed, and his eyes darkened slightly.

"Dinner is ready," he said, reaching for the gray blanket at the edge of the bed and gently draping it over her.

Sierra gave him a puzzled look before glancing down at the blanket wrapped around her.

They were about to head downstairs for dinner—so why was he covering her up?

Sensing her silent question, Theo smoothly changed the subject. "Is there anything else you need? We can go shopping in a few days."

Sierra hesitated briefly before saying, "I was thinking of bringing my piano over so I can practice regularly."

A piano was large, and playing it would inevitably create noise. She wasn't sure if Theo would agree. After making her request, she looked at him expectantly.

Theo chuckled, his sharp, handsome features softening as he gazed at her. "There's no need to bring yours. There's already a piano here."

Sierra's eyes widened in surprise. Theo took her hand and led her to the room adjacent to his study.

Inside stood a pristine white grand piano, its elegant design and luxurious material exuding timeless beauty.

Slipping out of Theo's grasp, Sierra quickly made her way over, unable to resist the urge to play a few notes.

The tone and pitch were flawless, instantly captivating her.

She smoothed down her dress and took a seat on the piano bench.

As the melodic notes filled the air, the golden hues of the setting sun bathed Sierra in warm light, making her look as if she were glowing.

Standing in the doorway, Theo watched her in silence, his gaze filled with quiet admiration.

As the final note faded into the air, Sierra slowly emerged from her trance, her fingers lingering on the piano keys.

"Thank you," she said earnestly.

The piano was brand new—there hadn't been one in the villa during her last visit. That meant Theo had gotten it just for her.

With his eyes closed, a sense of fulfillment washed over him—more exhilarating than closing a billion-dollar deal.

Sierra hesitated, her hands hovering in midair before finally resting against his broad back.

The heat of his body seeped into her palms, sending a shiver through her as her heartbeat thundered in her chest.

She buried her face against his shoulder, her voice barely above a whisper. "I'm also very grateful to be your wife."

After a brief pause, she summoned her courage and added, "Happy wedding day, Theo."

They stayed wrapped in each other's arms, lost in the quiet of the moment—until a loud grumble from Sierra's stomach interrupted the peace.

Sierra quickly clutched her belly, her eyes avoiding Theo's amused gaze.

Theo chuckled, his grip on her hand tightening. "Come on, let's get you something to eat."

The housekeeper had already set the table and left, leaving them alone to enjoy their dinner together.
