Chapter 1971


    Sierra, however, said calmly, "Yes, I''ve lost my mind but don''t worry about me. I know what I should


    do from now on. I won''t let any of you worry about me anymore."


    Listening to her honest-to-goodness confession, Jefferson''s temper subsided in an instant.


    He spread his strong arms and hugged Sierra. "Sierra, don''t ever lose sight of your worth. Johan


    isn''t the only man in the world. There are many other men who are waiting to be with you."


    Speaking of that, Jefferson instinctively thought of Adrienne, who was next to him. When it came to


    love, it was indeed much easier said than done.


    If it were that easy to move on from someone, he would not have chased after Adrienne, that


    clueless little idiot, for so many years.


    "You are right. Why should I give up the entire ocean for a fish? It''s not worth it." Sierra smiled as


    Johan''s words once again echoed in her head.


    Those methods she used to vie for his attention would only make him see her as a stupid,


    laughable and pitiful woman.


    She finally understood that everything she had done so far was, in his eyes, just a butt of a joke.


    However, she thought that she should thank him for using such harsh words to wake her up.


    His words had finally made her realize that when someone didn''t belong with you, that person would


    still never be yours, no matter how hard you tried to fight for them.


    Hence, she had decided to put things to an end.


    At that very moment, she had made up her mind to forget about that man she should have never


    loved in the first ce.


    She would restart her life and live anew, without him.


    Jefferson looked over at Adrienne. She was pouting and seemingly deep in thought; her attention


    was not on him at all.


    Indeed, the ocean was vast and there were plenty more fishes to pick from. However, he only took a


    fancy to Adrienne, that one slow-witted fish. How terrible!


    Jefferson lifted his foot gently and kicked Adrienne to fish her attention.


    Upon receiving his knowing look, Adrienne felt that something was not right. Reflexively, she looked


    down at herself. The clothes she wore were normal; there was nothing wrong with it.


    Jefferson reached out to hold her in his arms and said, "You slow-witted fish."


    "You are the slow-witted fish, your whole family..." Adrienne wanted to swear that all his family


    members were slow- witted fishes but upon realizing that his family were around, she no longer


    dared to curse.


    "Little idiot!" Seeing that she was holding her anger back, Jefferson couldn''t helpughing.


    "Let go of me. There are so many people watching us." Adrienne struggled hard, yet could not


    break free from his embrace. Fortunately, Jefferson didn''t make things difficult as he loosened his


    grip-


    His priority at that moment was to deal with Sierra''s matter. He absolutely could not let Johan hurt


    her again.


    Sierra''s disappearance had made everyone in the family realize that her rtionship with Johan


    was not how they had perceived.


    There was no need for her to say that she wanted a divorce as the Yard family had already brought


    it to the table themselves.


    Maxwell was particrly agitated when he thought of how his granddaughter''s years of efforts and


    love had been stomped upon like that. "Sierra, you should make a clean break with Johan. From


    now on, none of us will acknowledge that heartless, insincere man anymore. But of course, I''d still


    like to hear your thoughts on this."


    The members of the Yard family were reasonable beings and they had always respected the wishes


    of their children. So even if Maxwell hated Johan so much, he still tried his best to calm down and


    listen to how Sierra truly felt.


    Sierra nodded. "Grandpa, I know what to do. Don''t worry about me."


    Maxwell said in exasperation, "How can I not worry about you? The entire family is worried about


    you. Your parents are still on the ne back here. If something happens to you, I believe they would


    even choose to jump off the ne to get to your side immediately."

    "Sierra is my precious granddaughter. Even if I ask someone to beat that b*stard up and make him


    a cripple, I would consider it being lenient. How could I not worry?" Maxwell thought.


    "Grandpa, I know all of you worry about me, but please believe in me. I won''t love someone who


    doesn''t love me like a fool ever again." Sierra assured him.


    "How could I be so unfilial and let Grandpa worry about my emotional affairs at this age?" She


    whispered in her mind.


    However, it would never happen again. Not anymore.


    Falling in love with someone could take ce within a split second, but it was also a matter of a


    moment for a person to give up.


    Sometimes, even a simple sentence was enough for a person to lose any feelings they had for


    someone who they once loved with all their heart.


    Letting go of someone was such a relief.


    Maxwell had faith in his granddaughter. Since Sierra had said so, he didn''t say anything more.


    Although Sierra looked calm on the outside, everyone was still worried about her. However, no one


    dared to say it out loud. Hence, they all took turns to spend time with her to cheer her up. They


    were afraid that she might do something drastic.


    Sierra was touched by the love and care they had showered her with.


    Nheless, she was well aware that she had already moved on from those emotions she had kept


    in for so long. She had finally found her peace.


    After the next few days, everyone in the Yard family was finally at ease when they saw that she was


    doing rtively well.


    Once Sierra''s affairs were settled, everyone began to divert their attention onto Jefferson and


    Adrienne.


    Maxwell was overjoyed to see that Jefferson had brought his wife home with him.


    He took Adrienne''s hand and said, "Adrienne, you have been here for a few days now but we


    haven''t been able to take good care of you because of some family matters. By the way, how was


    your stay here? Are you getting used to it?"


    "Grandpa, I''m getting along just fine. If anything, I''m worried that I would be troubling all of you


    instead." Adrienne had met Maxwell when she was a child, but she wasn''t close to him. Hence, she


    was still somewhat reserved when conversing with him.


    Looking at the cautious look on her face, Jefferson, who was standing next to her, felt annoyed.


    He continued, "Adrienne, the person in front of you is my grandfather, who is also your grandfather.


    Why would you think that you''re troubling them? What goes on in your brain, honestly?"


    Adrienne shot a look at Jefferson.


    It was true that Maxwell was Jefferson''s grandfather, and of course she would treat Maxwell as her


    own grandfather too. However, they were not familiar with each other after all. She couldn''t be rude,


    could she?


    Maxwell looked at Jefferson with dissatisfaction and said, "Jeff, what''s with your attitude? How can


    you speak to your wife so fiercely?"


    "Grandpa, I..." Jefferson''s eyes widened.


    Maxwell interrupted him and said, "I’m talking to Adrienne. Since when was it your turn to chime in?"


    Jefferson kept quiet.


    At that instant, it was as if he could foresee where his position would lie in that household from now


    on.


    There was no way he could ept being at the bottom of the pyramid of that family.


    He must have the courage of the head of a family so he said, "Grandpa, about Little Specky and I..."


    Maxwell interrupted him again, "Adrienne and I are talking. Go somewhere else, and don''t bother us


    here."


    "Grandpa, Mom is always bullying me and taking Little Specky''s side. How can you do that to me


    too?" Jeffersonined.
