My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1988

In the middle of cleaning the table, Rosie said, "He doesn't only come here to have meals, but he would also get one to go every time. No jalapenos on the one to go. He says that you can't take spices because your stomach doesn't handle it well."

Sierra did have a stomach problem but it wasn't till the point that she couldn't take spicy food at all. Moreover, Johan had never brought any tacos back for her.

Sierra figured that he was probably getting it for someone else so she asked, "What did he say to you when he asked you to pack it?"

Rosie smiled and said, "He said that he was going to bring it for his girlfriend. He's obviously talking about you, isn't he?"

"Oh, his girlfriend." Smiling, Sierra did not put forth any more questions as she knew that Johan had never regarded her as his girlfriend.

For him, she was nothing more like a leech that he couldn't shake off.

Rosie looked at Sierra and said earnestly, "I know you two fought today but it's fine. Go back and talk things out with him, and everything will be okay. But you have to listen to my advice. Don't say any more hurtful things to him. The more a man loves you, the more hurtful it will be."

Sierra didn't understand why Rosie insisted that Johan loved her. Did she know Johan's feelings for her better than she did?

"Go after him quickly, don't let him wait too long." When Rosie saw Sierra keeping quiet, she didn't say anything more.

However, as she was collecting the dirty dishes, she recalled that Johan's words were slightly different the previous time he was there. Johan, who was usually quiet, actually chatted with her that time. It was indeed a rare moment. Rosie thought.

He told her that he was not packing food for his girlfriend but for his wife.

At that time, Johan's expression was the same as usual, but she could still make out a different light in Johan's eyes.

With her experience at this age, she could be sure that it was an expression of joy of a man marrying the woman he loved.

Rosie thought that she had to relay this to Sierra so that she wouldn't get mad at Johan so easily all the time and jeopardize their harmony as a wedded couple.

Rosie scurried out, but Sierra was already long gone.

She looked out and saw that Sierra was about to walk out of the alley. She called out but Sierra did not respond so she thought that she would tell her the next time.

What's more, she believed that since Johan loved her so much, he wouldn't let her go that easily, and that they would definitely stick it till the end. Sierra walked out of the alley and glanced around but she didn't see Johan or his car.

It seemed that Johan had already left without her, so she had no choice but to take a cab.

After getting into the car, Sierra could not help but sneer as she thought of what Rosie had told her.

If a man really loved a woman, he would never leave a woman outside alone in the middle of the night no matter how angry he was.

However, what Sierra didn't know was that another car was following closely behind and that car had never left until she had gotten home safely.

Sierra hadn't slept much in the past few days but sleepiness didn't kick in at all now that she was in bed.

She didn't want to recall those unpleasant memories, but her mind was full of Johan and Miranda.

Miranda!

Miranda!

It was Miranda yet again!

Sierra hadn't seen Miranda nor

Seen

contacted her ever since she had left

the country: Sierra thought that

Miranda would settle down abroad

and that she would never have to see nor hear anything about her ever again.

Swn

But who would have thought that Johan would mention that name in her face?

Miranda had once told Sierra that life abroad was like a fantasy. That was the life she truly wanted; it was her lifelong dream. Since Miranda was so eager to lead a life abroad, Sierra couldn't understand why she wanted to come back.

Wouldn't it be better to stay at the place of her dreams?

Perhaps after Miranda had succeeded in her accolades, she suddenly realized that love was still something fundamental to her. However, the timing for her to return couldn't be more fortuitous, as it was in the middle of Sierra's and Johan's divorce.

She wondered if it was just a coincidence or if there was something she didn't know about.

"Ring..."

Sierra's cell phone suddenly rang. The loud ringtone startled her, bringing her thoughts back from the past.

She took her phone and saw that it was a foreign phone number.

There were many members in the Yard family who were abroad all year round. In order to make it easier to talk to local clients, they often changed their numbers. Sierra

suspected that she probably

forgot

to save one of their numbers so she answered without a second thought. "It must be either Jovane or Kaelyn." She thought.

"Sierra, it's me, Maxtor." Maxtor's voice sounded through the phone.

Though Maxtor often contacted Sierra, he rarely called at such a late hour. Furthermore, he was calling her with a new number. "Hey... why are you calling me so late at night?"

Maxtor said, "I'm on the plane now and the flight is taking off soon. I'll bearriving at the capital at about noon. I have sent the flight number to you. You and Johan can come pick me up tomorrow."

Maxtor and Johan were best buddies so why would he call her and not Johan? He even asked her and Johan to go pick him up at the airport. "Maxtor, I..."

Before Sierra could refuse, Maxtor interrupted, "Ah, we're taking off now. The flight attendant is asking me to turn off my phone now. I'll get in trouble if I don't. See you at the airport tomorrow afternoon."

Before Sierra could say anything, Maxtor had already hung up. Listening to the disconnected tone, Sierra could foresee that she wouldn't be getting any sleep that night.

Sierra did not inform Johan that Maxtor was coming back. She did not want to take the initiative to contact Johan. Plus, Johan said that he would go to the airport to pick Miranda up.

She clearly knew that Johan was going to pick up Miranda the next day so if she were to bring Maxtor up, Johan would probably feel that she was being petty again and that she was deliberately stirring up trouble because she was upset about him meeting with Miranda.

Sierra did not know what time Miranda's flight would arrive. Hence, in order to avoid running into them, she had decided to ask her driver to pick Maxtor up at the airport.

However, on second thought, she realized Maxtor had his own driver too. So he had probably asked her to pick him up because he wanted to catch up with her.

Maxtor had been a lot of help to her all these years. He could even be considered as her older brother, so she decided that it would be better for her to pick him up herself.

After waking up in the morning, Sierra went to her store and supervised how things were getting on. Then, she went for a morning coffee before heading to the airport.

Since she had plenty of time, she drove slowly, causing many cars to overtake her along the way.

She was driving safely according to the law, but there would always be irresponsible drivers on the road.

When she was at the wheel, a Mercedes to her left suddenly swerved into her lane.

She quickly stepped on the brakes, but she was unable to stop the tragedy as the front of her car had already crushed into the car in front of her.
