The Billionaire's Heir I Never Knew Was Mine novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54: He Look Hot!

To distract herself from her fear of riding in a helicopter, Sienna averted her gaze out the window. She saw Zachary with his back to her, removing his suit and passing it to Logan, who stood beside him.

It worked!

At least for a moment.

The tight knot in her chest loosened just enough for her to breathe again.

Her eyes lingered on him longer than she intended.

There was something effortless about the way he moved, something calm and controlled that made everything around him feel... steady.

He rolled his sleeves up to his arms, revealing toned forearms, and listened quietly as Logan spoke to him. Whatever Logan was saying sounded important, judging by the serious look on his face, but he simply nodded once or twice.

’Gosh... Zach, did you know you look so hot even when you’re not trying? Unfortunately, you are someone else’s husband—’

The thought slipped into her mind so naturally that it almost made her choke on her own breath.

She pressed her lips together, forcing herself not to smile like an idiot. This was not the time to admire a man. Not when she was about to board what she firmly believed was a flying danger box.

Still... her gaze betrayed her.

For a few seconds more, she allowed herself that quiet moment, watching him like a scene from a movie.

And then, as if sensing her stare, Zachary suddenly turned, and their eyes almost met.

Sienna could feel her heart jump so hard it felt like it hit her throat. In a panic, she immediately turned her head away, her eyes landing on the pilot panel in front of her as if she had been deeply interested in it the whole time.

Unfortunately, the sight of all those blinking lights and complicated buttons did not help her calm down. If anything, it made everything worse. Her earlier fear, which had briefly faded, returned with full force.

’Zach... I hope you can really give me a smooth first ride experience,’ she muttered inwardly, her fingers curling slightly against her lap. ’Or I swear I will never ride this flying machine again for the rest of my life...’

She let out a quiet sigh and leaned back in her seat, trying to relax her stiff shoulders. But it didn’t work. Not even a little.

Then, just as she was trying to convince herself that helicopters were statistically safe and not personal enemies, the pilot door opened.

Sienna stiffened.

Zachary stepped in. He moved with ease, as though stepping into the pilot’s seat was no different from sitting at his office desk. Calm. Natural. Almost unfairly attractive.

He settled into the seat, adjusted a few controls, and casually wore the headset. His focus shifted instantly, his posture straightening slightly as his attention moved fully to the controls in front of him.

For a moment, Sienna simply stared.

’Oh... he really knows what he’s doing. And he looks relaxed and confident. This is a good sign...’ she admitted silently, though that realization didn’t completely calm her racing heart.

Zachary then glanced back, his eyes first landing on his son.

"Are you ready, buddy?" he asked, his voice gentle in a way Sienna had never heard before.

"Yes, Dad..." Skylar replied calmly, already buckled in, looking completely at ease, as if flying in a helicopter was as normal as riding a bicycle.

Then Zachary’s gaze shifted to her.

"How about you, Sienna? Are you ready to fly?" he asked, his tone even gentler.
