Regrets Come Too Late (Sierra and Johnny) novel Chapter 589

Sierra was stunned when she heard from Tommy that her so-called family were waiting for her already. She had not expected the news to spread that fast.

She had only signed the contract in the afternoon, but everyone had already found out about it before she even got home.

"Where's your grandma?" Sierra asked Tommy about Anna.

"In the study." Tommy had grown much closer to Anna and Anna's friends lately. "She told me not to bother with them and just pretend they're not here."

Sierra gave a quiet nod and walked inside as she held Tommy's hand.

Anna could ignore them because every one of them had hurt her in the past. Pretending they did not exist was already the most polite thing she could do.

But Sierra was different. If she wanted to take back her mother's shares, she was going to have to deal with them sooner or later.

"Oh, right." Tommy's eyes were bright and round. "Grandma told me to tell you that if you don't want to deal with them, you can brush them off with a few words. No need to take them too seriously."

"Alright," Sierra said.

A moment later, she walked in with Tommy while Marcus took the luggage back to his room.

The second she stepped into the living room, everyone on the couch turned to look at her. Nathan spoke first. "You're home."

Sierra gave a slight nod. "Yes."

"This is for you. A gift to celebrate your successful partnership." Nathan handed her a beautifully wrapped box.

Sierra had barely opened her mouth when Nathan cut her off. "Go get some rest first. I'll head upstairs and tell your mom you're home."

Without waiting for her reaction, he put the gift in her hands and left.

Sierra was baffled.

Did her mother not already know she was back?

And wasn't he acting a little too at home?

"Come, sit." Charlie greeted her warmly, his expression full of kind smiles. "You really are quite impressive. You landed two projects in just two months. You have made the family proud."

"If you don't want to say anything, I won't ask." Even so, he still did not let go of the subject. "Still, I really think it was a shame when you two divorced. If possible, I would rather see you get back together."

Sierra stayed perfectly polite. "Really?"

"Of course." Charlie never once dropped the act. "Once your mother's shares are transferred to you, it's hard to say whether some people might start getting ideas. With John around, we would all feel more at ease."

This time, Sierra did not bother telling him again that she could handle things herself. Instead, with a completely stern expression, she said, "I'll do my best to make your wish come true."

Charlie froze and his mind went blank for a second. "What?"

"I'll talk to John after some time and see whether he's willing to remarry me."

After spending time in business, Sierra had also learned how to say nonsense with a straight face.

Charlie paused with his teacup halfway to his mouth, his expression one of confusion. So much so that when he finally spoke, he sounded genuinely baffled.

"Didn't you two just get divorced?"
