Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429

The mood at the table looked especially strange.

Sierra’s eyes shifted between the three men repeatedly. She had heard part of their conversation earlier.

The line from Cyrus about “that child you mentioned has already been aborted” was especially thought–provoking, and her opinion of Nathan kept dropping.

Nathan had no idea about it, though.

At the table, the three men across generations sat across from each other as they plotted and schemed. One moment, Cyrus couldn’t stand Nathan. The next, Cyrus and Nathan were both turned against John.

They kept trading lines. On the surface, every word sounded normal, but almost every sentence carried a jab.

“This is a family dinner, not a business dinner,” Sierra said when she saw them acting like they were at a negotiation table. She couldn’t hold herself back anymore. “If you three wanted to see who the more skillful negotiator is, you three can set another time and talk all you want then.”

All three of them went quiet. No one added another word.

Anna had brought in the chef from outside just to give Sierra a good birthday. With them treating it like a business dinner, it was no surprise Sierra spoke up.

But when Sierra noticed the food in front of John was clearly not suitable for someone recovering from surgery, her brows

furrowed.

John caught the look and said, “Mr. Lynch and Mr. King pushed all of this on my plate. I didn’t ask for any of it myself.”

Cyrus said nothing.

Nathan didn’t answer, either.

Sierra took a deep breath and let it go.

For almost the next hour, everyone just ate normally and stopped picking fights.

It was not that the three men suddenly became well–behaved. Cyrus and Nathan just did not want John to use them again. Only one lesson was more than enough when it came to certain things.

When the dinner ended, Cyrus and Nathan both sat there looking like they wanted to say something. They wanted to stay longer, but they were worried Sierra and Anna would show them out right there and then.

John could stay because he was Tommy’s father. What about them?

Half an hour after dinner, Tommy came downstairs carrying a cake, his eyes bright. “Mom, happy birthday! Uncle John and I made this birthday cake for you!”

“Thank you, sweetheart.” Sierra took it and patted his head, her eyes warm and gentle.

John lit the candles on the cake before setting the custom gold crown on Sierra’s head.

As Sierra closed her eyes to make a wish, Tommy reached out and tugged on John’s sleeve. “Aren’t you going to say something?

”

John played dumb. “Say what?”

“You used to ask Mom what wish she made.” Tommy was very cute when he said those words. “You also said you were her shooting star, that you’d help her make any wish she made come true.”

John pressed his lips and stayed quiet.

He knew exactly what Sierra was wishing for.

To finally divorce him.

Cyrus spoke up right away. “Sierra, what did you wish for? I’ll help you make it come true!”

Tathan followed at once. “Dad will help you, too.”

nna froze for a moment before muttering, “Dad?”

I know you blame me for what happened back then.” Nathan faced it head–on, his tone firm. “But Sierra is my daughter by lood.”

ana was about to speak when Sierra answered first. “I’m not.”

athan’s brows furrowed together. “Sierra.”

erra raised her eyes to his, her expression firm. “The child you and my mom had was the one you forced her to abort more an twenty years ago.”

ina was stunned.
