Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 347

Sienna raised her hand and slapped him sharply across the face.

The force wasn't particularly heavy, but the crisp sound made the officers in the front row turn their heads to look.

Jarred looked at her with pure innocence and complained, "As long as we haven't gotten our divorce certificate, you're still my wife. I can't even get a kiss?"

Sienna was completely expressionless. "Jarred, if you keep crossing my boundaries, I swear I'll beat you into a pulp."

Instead of getting angry, Jarred's lips curled into a faint smile.

This brief moment of intimacy almost gave him the illusion that they hadn't reached the point of divorce, that their past warmth still existed.

Just then, the intercom called the team to assemble.

Jarred stood up, looking down at Sienna. He reached out to ruffle her hair, but she dodged his hand.

Unbothered, he shoved his hands into his pockets. "Wait for me."

Leaving those words behind, he sauntered toward the front cabin.

Sienna ignored him, looking down at her laptop.

She waited until his back completely disappeared from sight.

Sienna immediately stopped what she was doing and pulled his phone out of her bag.

She flipped the ringer to silent.

Then she opened her own phone and texted Thea Stanton.

"Do it."

Not even half an hour later, Jarred's phone began ringing nonstop.

First, it was Declan Ward, calling again and again.

Then Henry Holden.

The endless calls were swallowed by the silent mode, not a single sound leaking out.

Sienna sat perfectly still, staring straight ahead, acting entirely oblivious.

Eventually, she simply leaned back against her seat and closed her eyes to sleep.

The plane landed at dusk.

Jarred and the team geared up and went straight to the mission site.

Sienna provided rear support at the command center.

She sat in front of the monitors, her eyes glued to the screens, but her mind was elsewhere.
