The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142: Are You Dating Him?

"Zach..." Sienna whispered softly. Worry and confusion filled her eyes at the same time as she looked up at him. "Can you wait in my bedroom?"

Zachary fell silent as though genuinely considering her request.

But, several seconds later, he shook his head.

"I’ll go out for a while," he said calmly. "And return tonight to hear your answer."

The words made Sienna freeze instantly, remembering his proposal, which she had not yet answered.

Her heartbeat faltered so abruptly that she nearly forgot Ava and Riley were just a few feet away, watching everything like a confused audience.

She briefly stared at him before swiftly returning to her usual composure.

A small smile appeared on her lips. "Okay."

Only after Zachary left the apartment and the door closed behind him did Sienna finally allow herself to focus fully on the two disasters standing in her living room.

Unfortunately, Ava and Riley did not wait politely for permission to enter.

The moment Zachary disappeared, they walked inside as though they had already been upgraded to investigators assigned to her case.

Before Sienna could even open her mouth, they dragged her toward the seating area.

"Come, come... Explain this scandal to us..." Riley said in his playful voice.

"Riley— Ava— stop forcing me!"

"No," Ava interrupted immediately, pulling her down onto the sofa. "You answer first."

Riley crossed his arms, staring at her with dramatic seriousness that somehow made the entire situation even worse.

"Sienna," he began slowly, "would you like to explain why my uncle was opening your apartment door?"

Her head snapped toward him.

’Wait... Riley calls Zachary Uncle?’ Sienna was utterly shocked to hear that.

But before Sienna could ask Riley about it, Ava spoke.

"And why did Zachary Sterling look comfortable enough to open the door for us as if this were his house?" Ava added suspiciously.

Sienna opened her mouth to say something, but closed it again as no words could escape her lips. She was utterly speechless, unsure where to start explaining to them.

Riley leaned slightly forward. "Sienna, tell us, how long have you known him?"

Ava immediately followed, "...And are you two dating? Since when? I mean, it’s impossible to bring a man into your house if he was not your date, right?"

Riley agreed with Ava. He nodded and said, "Yeah! That’s right!"

The questions came so quickly that Sienna suddenly felt tired again. She gently pressed her hand against her forehead.

"Seriously? Can you both slow down with your interrogation? I’ve had enough when I was at the police station. So, perhaps, we should discuss something else?"

"NO!" They answered together.

Sienna sighs in silence, knowing there is no way she could escape this.

Slowly, she lifted her gaze toward them. "Fine. The answer is yes," she admitted carefully. "Yes, I know Zachary Sterling."

Riley narrowed his eyes. "How well do you know him?"

Sienna didn’t rush to answer him. She stood from her seat and walked toward her kitchen.
