A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Janet thought Sierra was just playing hard to get. She chuckled and shook her head with her arms crossed. "Once Benson and Sophie get divorced, you could marry into the family-but only if you hand over everything you own to Benson first."

Once she got Sierra's shares, she would be worthless anyway. A divorced woman was hardly a match for Benson!

Janet had calculated everything perfectly. Yet, she failed to account for one thing Sierra truly no longer cared about Benson.

"I'm not trying to provoke anyone. I have no desire to marry him, let alone pay him to do it." Watching Janet put on the airs of a mother-in-law, Sierra spoke with a serious expression.

Janet studied her for a moment, realizing she meant it. Panic flickered in her eyes as she sensed that things were slipping out of her control. "Sierra, are you being serious now?"

Sierra met her skeptical gaze with a smile. "Janet, between Theo and Benson, who do you think any sane woman would choose?"

"...My son, of course," Janet snapped.

Sierra gave a perfunctory nod, her tone calm. "I'd pick Theo."

Janet hurled the aubergine she was holding into the sink and stormed off in a huff.

After lunch, Theo and Sierra strolled hand in hand through the garden. Benson stood by the second-floor window, watching below as if punishing himself.

Noticing his gaze, Sierra tugged Theo back inside. She sprawled on the bed, scrolling through her phone until she dozed off. When he saw her asleep, he quietly covered her with a blanket.

By the time she woke up, it was already dark. The first thing she did was look for the two new outfits she'd bought.

When Theo walked in, he saw her staring at the two outfits on the bed, grinning like a fool.

"Oh, you're up."

Hearing his voice, Sierra frantically tried to block his view. Theo, being much taller, easily spotted the clothes on the bed.

"Are these... matching couple outfits?" His eyes flickered, warmth stirring in his chest.

Back home, she had shown him the two outfits separately, so he hadn't noticed the matching designs. Now that the attires were laid side by side, he realized the hidden details.

The white hoodie had a little bear wearing a skirt-a girl. The black hoodie featured a cool, laid-back bear-a boy.noveldrama

Sierra's face flushed pink. She lowered her head in embarrassment, revealing the faint blush creeping up her neck. "I just... thought they looked nice, so I bought them."

The weak explanation only made things worse. She looked annoyed with herself, wishing she could bite her tongue off.

Theo didn't comment. Instead, he picked up the black hoodie and headed into the bathroom. Two minutes later, he emerged, already changed.

The black hoodie and straight-cut black pants gave him a youthful edge. Sierra's eyes sparkled as she admired him. "You look so handsome like this!"

Without his usual hair gel, his hair fell naturally over his forehead. It softened his usual sharpness, adding a hint of effortless charm.

"Wait a minute! I'll change too." She eagerly bundled up her clothes and practically shoved him out of the room.

Standing in the hallway, Theo looked down at the cool little bear on his hoodie and let out a sudden chuckle.

Just then, Benson stepped out of his room and froze at the sight. A look of disbelief crossed his face. "Uncle Theo... are you okay? What's with the outfit?"

Seeing the blatant disdain on his nephew's face, Theo replied casually, "Doesn't it look good?"

Benson, seizing what he thought was a golden opportunity to mock him, scoffed. "You're a CEO, for heaven's sake! You represent the Gray family, and dressing like this is a complete joke. You're embarrassing us."
