Chapter 528 Closing In
When Dickson heard Matco telling Jonathan not to announce the baby yet, he lowered his head. He knew. Matco would eventually get married..
Jonathan and Sierra caught everyone’s reactions. Sierra sighed inwardly.
She could tell Mateo didn’t have the slightest romantic thought in that direction he only saw Dickson as a younger brother.
After a full day together, when it was time to leave, Dickson stayed behind.
Mateo saw him remain but didn’t ask anything, just turned and left.
Hmph. Once was enough for trying to warm up to a cold shoulder. He’d given Dickson the chance, but when the other refused to say a word, there was no point asking again.
When everyone else was gone, Dickson finally said, “Sis, once Victor’s situation is resolved, I want to go abroad.”
If it weren’t for Victor, he’d already be gone by now.
Sierra’s heart sank. She knew Dickson was running away, but this was no one’s fault.
Dickson wasn’t wrong. Mateo wasn’t wrong either.
“Alright,” Sierra said. “Give it a few more days. Have you decided where you want to go?”
Dickson named a place – clearly, he had already made plans.
All Sierra could do was support him, though she added, “Stay in touch with me often, even after you’re gone.”
“Don’t worry, I will.”
He lingered a little longer, and though Sierra wanted him to stay the night, he insisted on leaving.
After seeing him off, Sierra let out a sigh.
“This is something they’ll have to work out themselves,” Jonathan said. He had been watching too and knew his friend had no such intentions toward Dickson.
Of course Sierra understood that. She just felt sorry for Dickson.
Barely past twenty and he’d already been through so much – all because of those animals.
As they were talking, Jonathan’s phone rang. The number was unfamiliar. He answered, and the voice on the other end said,
“Someone’s coming for you. Be careful.”
The line went dead.
Jonathan’s expression shifted. Almost immediately, the phone rang again – this time it was the head of his security team. Someone was bringing a group of men up the mountain.
Jonathan hung up, his face turning cold. He looked at Sierra. “Something’s come up. I need to go down.
“Who is it?”
Sierra understood they couldn’t avoid it. She nodded, telling him to be careful.
