Chapter 322 Things Left Unsaid 

Finished 

Thinking back on what Quinn had saidthat Dora had only just returned to her side a few months agocombined with Dora’s own unintentional mention that Quinn had been too busy to be around, Sierra couldn’t help but feel a little heavy- hearted

She excused herself, saying she needed to make a phone call, and stepped out of the hospital room. Not long after, Johnathan followed her out

You mad?Johnathan asked, watching her carefully

Sierra shook her head. Not really. I know what Mateo’s like.” 

She didn’t want to dwell on that, so she changed the subject. I actually brought Dora here to talk with Quinn about what we should do with her. I’m going back to school tomorrowI can’t watch her all day anymore. What’s the plan for Dora?” 

Johnathan had been thinking about that for the past couple of days too. He’d considered hiring a nanny, but he didn’t like strangers in his space. And more importantly, with Dora’s current state, he wasn’t comfortable leaving her completely in someone else’s care. After a moment, he said, I’ll take her with me for now. I’ll bring her to the office.” 

Sierra looked surprised. She hadn’t expected Johnathan to say that. You sure?” 

After all this time, she’d come to know Johnathan pretty well

To people who didn’t know him, he might seem easygoing. But in reality, he was picky and hated dealing with hassle. Yet here he was, volunteering to take care of Dora. 

Then she suddenly remembered something Quinn had said and couldn’t help but ask, Do you like kids?” 

Johnathan clearly froze for a moment before answering, No.” 

He let out a sigh, looking exasperated. I don’t really have a choice right now. Don’t worrythere are plenty of people at the company. They can help keep an eye on her. And Mateo’s not doing much. I’ll have him come help too.” 

Sierra smiled. As long as you’ve got it covered.” 

She had originally planned to just step out for a bit before going back in to check on Quinn and take Dora home. But standing there with Johnathan, she suddenly didn’t feel like going back inside

Dickson’s got school today, and he’s got exams coming up. I should head back and check in on him. You can bring Dora back with you later,she said

Johnathan frowned. I’ll take you.” 

No need!” 

I’ll just call a car,” Sierra said, waving him off and turning to leave

Johnathan watched her walk away, his brows furrowing slightly

He could tell she wasn’t in a great mood

Was it because of what Mateo said

He went over every word they’d exchanged and realized it probably wasn’t that. It seemed like Sierra’s mood had shifted right after he said he didn’t like kids

Sodoes she want children

The thought hit him like a jolt. His breath caught in his throat

Sierra hadn’t exactly lied. Dickson really did have to go back to school today

Finished 

The SATS were coming up fast, and the school was cracking downonly one day off per week. He’d come home last night, but with everything going on with Dora, Sierra hadn’t really had a chance to talk to him. Now was the perfect time to check in and see how he was doing

Dickson looked genuinely happy to see her

Ms. Sierra! What are you doing back?” 

She’d told him earlier she might not make it back in time, and he’d already been thinking about heading back to school

Time’s tight, but I made it. Wanted to see how you’re holding up. Just two more weekshow are you feeling?Sierra asked

She’d always taken a supportive approach to the SATs, never putting pressure on him

She didn’t want him wound too tight

I’m good!” 

Dickson sounded confident. I think I’ve got a solid shot at getting into your and Mr. Yaeger’s college.” 

You’re aiming for North Salem University?” 

Sierra was surprised. North Salem was wellknown, but when it came to computer science, it was only secondbest

Yeah. You and Mr. Johnathan both went thereI want to go there too,Dickson said with a grin

Alright, then keep at it. Just remember, don’t stress yourself out too much.” 

Don’t worry. Oh, and who was that kid yesterday?” 

He’d seen Dora when he got back last night. She’d told him she was Mr. Yaeger’s niece, but he was pretty sure Johnathan didn’t have a sister

She’s his sister’s daughter. It’s kind of like what we’ve got going on,Sierra explained

Dickson was a little surprised, but didn’t press the issue. After watching her for a moment, he asked, Ms. Sierra, are you upset about something?” 

Sierra didn’t confirm or deny it. The truth was, she hadn’t felt quite right since leaving the hospital

She’d asked Johnathan if he liked kids, and he’d said nobut he’d been more patient with Dora than she ever expected 

If anyone else had said they’d take a kid to work, she wouldn’t have blinked an eye. But this was Johnathan
