A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo)

Madison flipped her maroon hair back and poured Sierra and herself a cup of water.

Then, she lay back on the couch and asked with a smile, "Cee, aren't you supposed to be practicing piano in school? What made you come all the way here?"

Pursing her lips, Sierra took a deep breath before answering, "Uncle Theo has asked me to marry him."

Madison, who was drinking water, spat all of it out upon hearing Sierra's words.

Quickly setting her glass down, Sierra proceeded to hand Madison a tissue.

Madison wiped her mouth hastily, then looked at Sierra in utter shock. "What did you just say? Are you saying that Theo had just proposed to you?"

Sierra's face was slightly flushed, and she hurriedly explained, "It wasn't a proposal. He just asked me to marry him."

"Isn't that the same thing?" Madison asked, confused.

Seeing that she had misunderstood, Sierra explained the whole situation from beginning to end. "Uncle Theo had only said that so that I could stop getting harassed by Benson."noveldrama

Madison covered her mouth and smiled. "What kind of 'good man' would actually sacrifice their own marriage just to help someone else?

"Marriage is a lifelong decision! Theo must like you. Otherwise, he would not have suggested a marriage."

Sierra pressed her lips together tightly, saying nothing.

Growing anxious, Madison continued further "My silly little Cee, please don't tell me you really can't tell that Theo treats you differently?"

Sierra lowered her eyes, her fingers clenching lightly. She wasn't stupid. How could she not feel it? She just did not believe that Theo could truly like her.

So, she looked up and explained, "Just because he treats me differently doesn't mean that he has feelings for me. Perhaps Uncle Theo just pities me, or maybe there's some other reason behind his actions."

"Cee, I've actually already looked into Theo's love life. He has never been in a relationship, and he does not have any women by his side. A man like that is either extremely self-disciplined or just not into women," Madison suggested as she analyzed the situation.

Recalling how Theo had carried her onto his lap in the car and the faint heat she felt coming from his body, she immediately blurted out, "Uncle Theo is a normal man."

Upon hearing her words, Madison's eyes widened as she asked, "Did you give him a try already?"

Feeling flustered by Madison's bold statements, Sierra flushed, demanding, "Maddy, what on earth are you thinking? Don't say such nonsense."

"Then, how can you be so sure?"

A trace of guilt flashed across Sierra's eyes, and even her voice had wavered slightly as she answered, "I... I just have a feeling."

Madison looked at her skeptically, then suddenly suggested, "Cee, just to be sure, why don't you give him a chance and test him out? If he's really not up to the task, then just don't marry him!"

Sierra's face turned bright red. "Maddy! I never said that I was going to marry him!"

"Regardless of the reason, I think,

marrying Theo is a way better option than marrying Benson. First of all, Theo is more capable, handsome, heojs and has a better physique than Benson.

"Secondly if you marry Theo, your seniority would fall above Benson's. Can you imagine how satisfying it would be if he had to respectfully call you 'Aunt' every time he saw you!"

Sierra pursed her lips and imagined the scenario Madison had mentioned. It was indeed satisfying.

However, she quickly said, "That won't do. I can't be with Uncle Theo just to satisfy my need for revenge. We're not even from the same social class."

"Are you looking down on him just because he's older than you?"

"I'm not." After all, Theo was only five years older than Sierra. "Then, do you hate him?" Madison continued to ask.

"That's not it either," Sierra denied immediately. Theo had helped her in a lot of ways. She was nothing but grateful toward him, so how could she possibly hate him?

"If age isn't a problem, and you don't hate him, then why won't you marry him?"
