The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1407

"Sienna, do you not want me coming over anymore?" Oakley asked straightforwardly.

This directness left Sienna feeling entirely out of her depth.

"That's not what I meant, but..."

Sienna could vaguely piece together what Oakley was thinking.

But she felt she wasn't a match for him at all.

Because Oakley was entirely out of her league.

And she simply wasn't worthy of him.

He hadn't crossed any physical boundaries, nor had he explicitly stated his feelings.

Sienna worried she might be misreading his intentions. She couldn't exactly preemptively reject him, could she?

What if he had no romantic interest and genuinely just wanted to mentor her as a colleague? Wouldn't she be making an absolute fool of herself?

"Sienna, listen to me."

Oakley's gaze was intensely serious.

Sienna wanted to stop him, but it was already too late.

"I genuinely want to help you. You've always been an incredibly resilient woman. I still remember exactly what you were like when we first met."

"Your family has caused you unimaginable pain, but you've always pushed forward with a positive spirit."

"Some women spend their whole lives being drained by their toxic families without even realizing it, but you're different..."

Oakley possessed a deep, unwavering admiration for her.

"Saying this now might seem like I'm taking advantage of your vulnerability, but I hope you'll seriously consider it. I truly want to take care of you."

"I don't expect you to say yes right this second. I just hope you won't shut me out so quickly."

His words were laced with raw emotion, leaving Sienna's lips slightly parted in shock.

Her eyes grew red, tears welling up in her lashes.

It wasn't that she had never been confessed to. Ever since she entered the entertainment industry, plenty of men had expressed interest in her.

Among them were wealthy investors and arrogant trust-fund heirs.

But not a single one was like Oakley.

She wanted to reject him, but she simply couldn't get the words out. Her throat felt impossibly tight, as if she were swallowing shards of glass.
