Chapter 248 A Restless Heart 

Jonathan didn’t notice Sierra’s change in mood

He was on the phone with Maddox, who had just returned and was calling to confirm their weekend plans. Maddox also asked him to inform Mateo and the others

Before hanging up, Maddox mentioned that he had something to discuss in person

Jonathan already had an idea of what it was, so he simply responded with a brief acknowledgment, his mood noticeably lighter

When he told Sierra about the weekend gathering, she agreed without hesitation. Our group has a research project. I’ll talk to Finn and take a day off.” 

Jonathan frowned. You just got there, and they’re already overworking you?” 

I volunteered. I want to integrate quickly. I really enjoy it there,Sierra said sincerely

Jonathan might not have truly loved this field, but she did. She wanted to test her limits, see how far she could go

And she couldn’t let herself care too much. The one who loves more is the one who gets hurt first

She refused to become something that could be shelved and forgotten. She wanted to be herself

Alright, I support you.” 

Jonathan admired her determination.. 

But the next day, he regretted it

Sierra had thrown herself entirely into her work, staying in the lab for two days straight without coming home

Jonathan had also been busy, but returning to an empty house left his expression cold

He called Sierra, but no one picked up

He knew it was common to leave phones unattended during research, but that didn’t stop his irritation

Just then, Mateo called, and Jonathan told him to gather everyone at their usual private lounge

The place belonged to Mateo’s family, and they had their own reserved room

When Jonathan arrived, Mateo smirked. Jonathan actually stepped out? What, not spending time with your lover?” 

Jonathan’s expression darkened instantly

Mateo shrank back. So, you guys had a fight?” 

Jonathan shot him a warning look. If you have nothing useful to say, don’t speak.” 

Alright then

Mateo made a zipping motion over his lips

Since it was rare for all of them to gather, they poured themselves drinks and settled in

Maddox took off his glasses, rubbing his temples

The situation in Maviston is mostly taken care of. The visible players have been arrested, the necessary investigations have been made.” 

Maviston had undergone a massive purge. On the surface, things were settled

But everyone here knew betterit was all just for show

An operation of that scale didn’t happen without powerful people pulling the strings

And some of the people who were punished were just scapegoats

I handled it the way you wanted. Kason won’t be executed immediately. He’ll suffer first.” 

Kason’s death sentence was inevitable, but Maddox had made sure he wouldn’t get a quick and easy end

Jonathan had requested it, and as a favor for his best friend, Maddox had taken care of it

Besides, even Maddox found Kason repulsive

And on top of that, Kason had dared to lay eyes on Sierra

Knowing Jonathan, the fact that he hadn’t personally taken action was already a miracle of selfrestraint

Thanks,Jonathan said, raising his glass

Maddox nodded and took a sip of his drink before asking, You didn’t tell Sierra about this, did you?” 

There’s no need for her to know,Jonathan replied

If he told her, she wouldn’t approve

But if he didn’t do it, he wouldn’t feel at peace

Stone, who had been silent until now, glanced at Jonathan. You should be careful.” 

He hadn’t spent much time around Sierra, but he had seen enough to understand what kind of person she was

Even they found Jonathan’s methods ruthless sometimes

Sierra wouldn’t be able to accept them

Jonathan’s gaze was unreadable as he said, I’m already being careful with her.” 

With that, he set his glass down, stood up, and left

He wanted to see Sierra right now

Jonathan had his driver take him to North Salem University

But instead of going inside, he waited in the car outside the lab

Finished 

Inside, Sierra finally took a break and grabbed her phone, only to see multiple missed calls from Jonathanone of them from two hours ago

She immediately dialed him back while heading downstairs

The moment she stepped out of the building, she was pulled into a tight embrace

Instinctively, she was about to push away when a familiar voice whispered against her car

Don’t move. Let me hold you.”
