Chapter 87

    Seeing Sierra naked in bed, Dorian immediately averted his gare, moving to the edge of the bed to


    create some distance. As he tried to get up, he realized he was also naked.


    Awakened by themotion, Sierra moved closer, hoping to embrace him.


    Her long hair partially obscured her petite face and beautiful breasts, though the hic keys on her


    porcin-like skin were faintly visible.


    “Don?”


    Sierra, who had been neglected by Dorian, gared at him in bewilderment from her distant position.


    She wore a sweet and bashful smile as she asked, “Don, what’s the matter?”


    Dorian’s mind went nk at the sight of her coy expressi


    If his memory served him right, he should have been with Giselest night. So, how could


    “Don, if you want to act likest night didn’t happen. I can do that too,” Sierra’s voice interrupted his


    thoughts. She draped a thin nket around herself, revealing the love marks on her neck


    Dorian’s gaze intensified, a smile ying on his lips. “What happenedst night?” he asked.


    The only memory he retained from the previous night was Gisele’s incessant chatter in his ear,


    which had annoyed him so much that he silenced her with a kiss.


    “Last night, Mr. Kiss and Gisele brought you back. I was waiting for you at Jefferson Manor to


    discuss the guest list for the charity g. But when you returned…” Sierra blushed, ber face turning


    shy and embarrassed.


    “You i just picked me up and started kissing me. I tried to get you to drink some hangover remedy,


    but you refused and even said I was being noisy.”


    “Boom-”


    The sudden sound of thunder rumbled outside, causing Dorian’s face to pale considerably.


    Sierra’s ount didn’t match his recollection; he distinctly remembered it was Gisele who


    had been noisy.


    “Dorian, if you can’t remember, then don’t dwell on it. Just being with you is enough for me, “Sierra


    said, sitting up. The shy blush on her face faded, reced by a paler hue. “You drank the hangover


    remedy, right? I made it especially for you. I’ll go take a shower first.”


    As she left, the sound of running water filled the bathroom.


    Dorian was still in shock, his gazending on the crimson stain in the center of the bed. So, it had


    been Sierra with himst night, not Gisele?


    In the bathroom, Sierra stood beneath the shower, a smirk tugging at the corner of her lips as she


    pinched her fair skin.


    She was consumed by resentment. If she had arrived earlierst night, she would have been the


    one with Dorian, and she wouldn’t be forced to pretend now.


    After standing under the steaming water for half an hour, Sierra eventually emerged from the


    bathroom, fully dressed..


    Meanwhile, Dorian had freshened up and changed into a ck and white suit.


    “Don, would


    you mind apanying me for some shopping? We’re in need of public donations for the g, and


    I also have to find a suitable gown.”


    Sierra skillfully avoided any mention of the previous night’s events as she approached Dorian and


    leaned on his arm.


    As Dorian gazed at Sierra’s bare face, thoughts of Gisele unexpectedly surfaced in his mind.

    Despite the absence of cosmetics, Gisele’s skin was naturally wless,plemented by delicate


    features. Her fairplexion boasted a healthy wheatish tone, unlike Sierra’s somewhat sickly


    pallor.


    “Okay,” Dorian agreed with a nod. As they walked out together, he continued, “Sierra, I want to


    apologize forst night. I had nned to save that for our wedding night, and I realize now that I’ve


    hurt you.”


    “Sierra had not expected him to broach the topic, so she was surprised when he brought it up


    on his own.


    Her earlier tension melted away, and she giggled, replying, “It’s okay, as long as you’re going to be


    my


    husband.”


    Dorian simply nodded in response, choosing to remain silent.


    After a light lunch, they made their way to the mall.


    As Dorian walked into the mall with Sierra, he spotted Gisele smiling and linking arms with Aspen.


    With several shopping bags in hand, it seemed she hadpleted her shopping and was about to


    leave.


    Amidst the bustling crowd, Gisele immediately noticed Dorian. Her smile faltered slightly as

    she observed how close he was to Sierra.


    But to Dorian, her reaction seemed to convey a sense of unhappiness upon seeing him.


    Once again, that unsettling feeling of being out of control washed over him.


    He truly disliked feeling this sense of powerlessness.
