Chapter 142 The Art of Dating
Jonathan thought for a moment, then dialled a number. As soon as the call connected, he got straight to the point. “What do you do when you’re in a relationship?”
The person on the other end seemed completely taken aback. “What? Dating? You’re asking about dating? Wait, hold on, you’re actually in a relationship?”
They fired off multiple questions in quick succession, leaving Jonathan frowning impatiently. “Just answer my question.
The other person still hadn’t recovered from their shock. Or maybe, they were just too stunned by what they had just heard.
“You’re actually dating!”
“Say one more word of nonsense and I’ll block you
Jonathan’s tone carried a clear warning.
The survival instincts of the man on the other end finally kicked in, and he quickly changed course.
“Alright, alright. Dating, huh? Well, it’s pretty simple to go on dates, buy gifts, and, you know, spend quality time together, if you get what I mean…”

Before he could finish, the call was abruptly cut off. When he tried calling back, Jonathan had blocked him.
But instead of feeling upset, the man immediately opened a group chat and excitedly typed Jonathan is in a relationship!
That single message was like an atomic bomb dropped in the chat.
If even he can date, then hell must have frozen over.
Same.
“Same. ”
The sender, now thoroughly enjoying himself, added “It’s real. He just called me asking how to date.”
“Are you sure he hasn’t lost his mind? He actually asked you for dating advice?
“Wait, who are you calling a pery, man!
And just like that, the group chat erupted into chaos. By the end of the argument, they all reached a unanimous decision, they had to go to Maviston to see this with their own eyes.
Meanwhile, Jonathan remained blissfully unaware of the storm he had unintentionally created. At the moment, he was seated in his living room, his expression unusually serious as he studied his tablet. The screen was filled with dating advice compiled by netizens. To an outsider, he looked as if he were conducting an important academic study.
The next morning, when Sierra opened her front door, she was met with an unexpected sight. Jonathan, standing there, holding a bouquet of flowers. For the first time, she finally felt like she was actually in a relationship with him. Last night had felt surreal, like a dream she had yet to wake up from.
Jonathan, on the other hand, looked completely at ease. He extended the bouquet toward her.
“The moment I first saw you, I thought you suited this flower.”
Sierra took the bouquet and examined it for a moment before asking hesitantly, “Cotton tree flowers!”
“That’s right. “Jonathan nodded.
The very first time he had laid eyes on Sierra, he had thought she resembled the cotton tree flower. Pure, bright, and
noveringly resilient!

Sierra lightly brushed the petals with her fingertips, feeling her heartbeat quicken. Neither of them spoke, but the atmosphere was filled with an unspoken warmth.
Until
“Wait, you, you two…
Dickson stood frozen in place, staring at them in shock. The realization hit him instantly.
“Sierra, Mr. Yeager, you two…..
Finished
Sierra was about to explain, but Jonathan was a step ahead of her. “Yes, as you can see, we’re together now, Sierra is your sister, so you can start calling me brother–in–law!”
Sierra and Dickson–both of them were momentarily speechless. Sierra turned to look at Jonathan incredulously. Ever since he had ditched his glasses, his personality had taken a drastic turn. It was like he had completely abandoned any preteens of subtlety.
Dickson, too, was at a loss for words. From Jonathan’s tone, he could feel the underlying smugness.
It was hard to describe, but it was there
Still, he had already sensed that there was something unusual between them, so this wasn’t exactly shocking. He swallowed his thoughts and simply muttered, “Congratulations.”
“Thanks!” Jonathan seemed very pleased.
Sierra, on the other hand, found herself turning away, unable to look directly at him. I have never realised that Jonathan could be so showy.
Meanwhile, Dickson was quietly watching them with a complicated look in his eyes. Both Sierra and Jonathan had morning classes, so he drove her to the university. Originally, Sierra had planned to have him drop her off outside the school gates so she could walk in alone.
But Jonathan had other plans. Not only did he drive straight onto campus, but as soon as he stepped out of the car, he naturally reached for her hand. In an instant, she could feel countless eyes land on them.
She immediately tensed. “Jonathan…”
Jonathan turned to look at her. “Hm?”
She had originally wanted to tell him to let go; there was no need to be so high–profile. But then she saw the way his lips curled upward, the way his entire expression softened just from holding her hand.
In the end, she decided, it didn’t really matter after all.
