The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 751

Seeing Samuel behave obediently, no longer yelling or lashing out like before, Sierra knew their conversation had made an impact. Just like she used to, she reached out and patted his head.

"Go on home. I need to head back too. Text me when you get back, just to let me know you're safe."

"Alright, I will. You too—let me know when you're home." Samuel smiled, the tension in his expression clearly easing. "Sierra, I'm heading off then."

"Yeah. See you later."

"See you later."

After the cab pulled away, Sierra stood by the curb for a long while before turning and heading home. The moment she walked through the door, Jonathan and Melissa came rushing over and pulled her down onto the couch, one sitting on either side of her.

"Cee, did Samuel give you a hard time? Did he say anything awful to you again?"

What they feared most was seeing Sierra being mistreated.

Sierra shook her head. "No, we talked calmly. Dad, Mom, I've decided to give Samuel another chance."

"Are you sure?" Jonathan and Melissa spoke in unison. "Cee, whatever decision you make, we'll always support you."

Sierra linked arms with them. "I've made up my mind. We're moving to Causeway Bay later. Samuel has a place there."

"Sierra, you guys are moving out?" Samantha walked out of her room, and the moment she heard Sierra's words, her expression changed. She rushed forward, her eyes turning red before tears began to fall.

"Sierra, did you listen to what Samuel said? Do you believe I didn't fight hard enough back then, and that's why you were sent abroad? That's why Sophia ended up like this?

"But what could I have done at the time? I really did try. I did everything I could."

"Ms. Blair, don't be like this. No one's blaming you." Sierra tried to comfort her, though she didn't fully believe it herself. Neither she nor Sophia blamed her, but Samuel's words had clearly been full of resentment.

"What's done is done. Let's not dwell on the past. What matters is the present and future." She took a breath. "Samuel and I grew up together. We were childhood sweethearts, relied on each other, and married when we were of age.

"I've come to realize that I made mistakes as well. I was too impulsive before. Years of love can't just be tossed aside. After talking things through, we realized we still love each other. In a lifetime of several decades, no matter how deep the love, there will always be fights.

"But after the fights, people make up and move forward. Samuel didn't cheat, and he doesn't have any bad habits. He just says hurtful things without thinking. Truth be told, some of what he said wasn't completely unreasonable.

"Mom, Dad, I still love him, and he still loves me. We've decided to work on things and try again. If we can avoid separating, we should."

"But Sierra…" Jonathan frowned. "Samuel's got his eye on the assets your mom and I are leaving you. If he's no good, we can just find someone else. But if the assets are gone, we won't have anything to stand on."

"Samuel doesn't want the money. He only brought it up because he doesn't want a divorce."

Sierra sighed. "Let's just go. When we're there, you can talk to him or call Mr. Watson over. Whatever agreements need to be signed, we'll get them all signed properly. That way, you'll feel assured, and so will I."

"That's a good idea." Jonathan nodded. "Back when Samuel first brought you home to meet us, I was happy with everything about him. You can tell when someone truly loves another.

"The way Samuel looks at you—he can't fake that."

"Yeah." Sierra's eyes turned slightly red. "I shouldn't have projected other people's issues onto my own relationship. I definitely shouldn't have lied to him about things that never even happened.

"Mom, Dad, let's pack up and move to Causeway Bay."

Sierra stood up. Seeing Samantha's red eyes, she hesitated, then spoke. "Ms. Blair, don't overthink it. We're moving out, not because we're upset with you, and certainly not because of what Samuel said.
