I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 346

"Sienna..."

"Hmm?"

"I won't let you shed another tear over anyone else. I won't let anyone make you suffer or walk all over you. Whenever you look back, I will always be standing right behind you."

"No matter how far you try to push me away."

His voice was slow, carrying an overwhelming gravity.

Why the sudden romantic monologue?

Sienna honestly wasn't a fan of these dramatic, sweeping declarations. In movies, a speech like this usually meant the guy was going to be killed off two scenes later.

She gave a soft hum to let him know she heard him.

A few minutes later, Jorrod helped her down from his lap.

After stepping out of the car, Jorrod casually wrapped his fingers around her wrist. The warmth of her skin was perfect—not cold, but actually radiating a faint, pleasant heat.

He let go.

Just as Sienna turned to walk away, he gently caught her wrist again, pulling her back. While she was still momentarily stunned, Jorrod leaned down and pressed a soft kiss against her forehead.

A profoundly cherished kiss, entirely devoid of lust.

When Sienna walked upstairs.

Her parents were still on the sofa—one watching TV, the other scrolling on a phone.

Since she had been gone for a while, they both paused what they were doing and looked over at her.

George raised an eyebrow. "Were you having a deep conversation with the dumpster?"

Sienna quickly hurried toward her bedroom, trying to hide her guilt.

Her mother's voice trailed after her, "Put more clothes on next time you go out."

The next morning, after seeing his daughter off, George drove toward the factory.

The morning sun was blindingly harsh, piercing straight through the windshield. Squinting against the glare, his thoughts drifted back to what his daughter had said the night before.

He really did want to quit.
