Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 374

Sienna knew Jarred all too well.

This man never bowed his head without a reason.

If he was going to all this trouble, it meant he wanted something from her.

And what he wanted most right now required no guessing.

Celeste was still locked up in the Central Detention Center. It was up to the prosecution to decide her sentence and how many years she'd get.

Although Sienna wasn't the presiding judge, with her current resources and influence, adding years to that sentence wouldn't be difficult at all.

Given Jarred's obsessive need to protect Celeste, he would never just sit back and watch.

While Sienna was lost in thought, Jarred turned sideways.

From a floral box prepared by the waiter behind him, he pulled out a blooming bouquet of Purple Hyacinths.

Holding the bouquet, he leaned in close.

The flickering candlelight danced in his deep eyes, casting warm shadows over his sharp, handsome features.

He looked dangerously seductive and deeply affectionate, carrying a completely bewitching charm.

If it were the past, she might have been moved.

But now, staring at that affectionate face, Sienna only felt an absurd chill.

Without a shred of emotion, she looked him dead in the eye, her tone blunt and hard. "Jarred, skip the flashy theatrics. Just say what you want."

The sliver of warmth in Jarred's eyes quietly peeled away, rippling into a faint coldness.

He could see it clearly. The woman sitting across from him didn't even have the patience to share a meal with him anymore.

Aside from their professional confrontations, there was absolutely zero personal affection left.

The distance in her eyes was so clear it made his chest heavy.

He stayed silent for two seconds, then parted his lips, softening his tone as he called out to her, "Darling, it seems you really find even looking at me exhausting."
