Chapter 1946 1 Want You To Marry Me
Johan always felt like there were not enough hours in a day whenever he started working. However, he was so distracted right then that he felt the meeting had been going on for days, even though it had just started.
He was worried because he wasn't getting any more messages from Sierra. "You guys can go on with the meeting. I'll be back in a bit."
Then, Johan got up and left the conference room.
His team members immediately gave each other a knowing look as they watched Johan leave. All of them knew that there was no else but Sierra who could make Johan leave halfway through a meeting.
However, they couldn't figure out why the two of them were so distant from each other. After all, they were engaged to each other, and Johan obviously had Sierra in his heart too.
Deep down, they had many questions, but no one dared to ask so they could only let their curiosity grow in their hearts.
Meanwhile, Sierra had checked into a two-room suite on the 28th floor.
Johan had been to the room to set down his luggage on the night of his arrival at Chatterton Town but hadn't been back ever since. However he still remembered the room number very clearly.
Johan had a room card, but he didn't use it to open the door. Instead, he raised his hand and knocked on the door first. After waiting for a few seconds and noticing that there was no reply, he used his card to open the door.
With a click, the door was opened, and the scene in the room made him stop in his track...
He didn't see a sick woman, but rather, a seductress!
Sierra was dressed in sexy, see through lingerie. At the sight of her, Johan flew into a rage. He glared at her coldly and turned around to leave.
He knew that she liked to trick him, and he knew that she often lied to him. Even so... He still fell into her trap time and time again, like a fool.
Just as he had taken two steps toward the door, Sierra's arrogant voice came from behind. "Johan, if you dare to leave, I don't know what I will do."
Her words halted him in his tracks. He turned back, and his gaze was focused on her. He was staring at her for so long that Sierra thought he didn't plan to speak until he suddenly asked, "Sierra, tell me. What must I do to make you happy?"
His voice was hoarse and filled with anger, and the blue veins on his forehead were popping. It was as if he had reached the end of his patience for her
Sierra could clearly see the rage through his eyes and expression. Every subtle movement he made was telling her that he was done tolerating her, and that he wanted to stay far away from her.
In fact, there were countless times Sierra had told herself that Johan did not love her, that she should just let him go.
However, her inner reluctance and stubbornness made her say otherwise. "Johan, I want you to marry me. I'll be happy if you marry me."
She had always wanted to say those words to him but she never had the courage to do so. Sierra knew that not only would he not agree, he would also look at her with that indifferent gaze of his and tell her to dream on.
"Okay!" That simple answer made Sierra's heart tremble. What did she just hear?
He agreed!
He agreed to marry her!
Before saying this, she had thought of many possible scenarios, but she had never expected that it would turn out like that.
Was she hallucinating? Did she mishear him?
Just as Sierra was struggling to process what had just happened, she heard Johan's emotionless voice once again. "Return to the capital the day after tomorrow. I'll see you at the Civil Bureau when the time comes."
"What..." Sierra couldn't keep up with what he was saying, but when she finally came to her senses, she nodded repeatedly and answered, "Okay."
Nonetheless, just as she nodded, she noticed Johan smiling. It was not a happy smile, but rather a mocking sneer.
Sierra felt as if someone had punched her heart. It was hurting so much that she almost lost her balance.
As for Johan, he once again turned around and left under Sierra's watchful gaze.
He was as decisive as always! • • •
The night passed by in the blink of an eye.
Jefferson hadn't slept well the night before as he was constantly checking on Adrienne. He was worried that she would wake up in the middle of the night and cry alone or that she might have
another nightmare.
Unexpectedly, she was sound asleep. She slept like a log and wasn't awake by the morning sun at all.
There wasn't much work to do in the past two days, so both of them didn't have to rush to work. Jefferson decided to let her sleep in as he lay beside her and watched her sleep.
After a long time, Adrienne turned over, blinked her eyes, and finally woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Jefferson lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead. "Morning!"
"Morning!" She was in a daze. "What time is it?"
"It's almost 10 a.m."
"What? It's almost 10 already? Why didn't you wake me up earlier? I'm going to be late." Adrienne was about to get up when Jefferson yanked her back by the arm.
He rubbed his forehead against her head as he said, "You're already late anyway, so what's the rush?"
"What kind of logic is that, Mr. Hefner?" Adrienne pushed him away grumpily and scolded, "Stop fooling around. I have to go to work."
"Adrienne Carter!" Jefferson suddenly called out in a serious tone. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Adrienne was stunned. "What's the matter?"
He pinched her face and asked, "Do you remember what happened last night?"
Adrienne laughed and replied, "I'm not a goldfish. Of course I do remember."
Jefferson stared at her silently. They were so close to each other that Adrienne wanted to back away. She questioned, "What is it?"
He held her in his arms. "Let's go to Antarctica soon."
Adrienne nodded. "Okay."
"You'd better keep your word," Jefferson reminded as he gripped her hand tightly in his.
Adrienne nodded again. "I will."
It was only then that Jefferson let go of her. "Make sure you don't forget what you promised me!"
Adrienne was getting slightly impatient, but she still nodded obediently. "I will never forget it."

Then, Adrienne and Jefferson went to work together. After a busy morning, she went to look for Jefferson for lunch but he was nowhere to be found. She asked around, but no one knew where he was so she tried to call him on the phone, but he didn't pick up either.
Adrienne began to worry as she recalled what had happened the other night. She immediately gave Freddy and the others a call to ask if they knew anything. They all mentioned that Jefferson hadn't contacted them in the past few days.
Adrienne then called Britney to ask her his whereabouts, but she was told that Jefferson wasn't at home either.
Finally, Adrienne called Sierra and got the same answer. Jefferson hadn't contacted Sierra that day.
After thinking for a while, an idea flashed across Adrienne's mind.
She recalled Jefferson had told her that morning that they would leave for Antarctica soon. Could it be that he had already secretly taken action against Sheridan?
With that thought, Adrienne's heart was full of complicated emotions.
Of course, she hoped that they could bring the guilty to justice, but at the same time, she was worried that Sheridan would be arrested for real.
At the end of the day, she was still being selfish. She knew that her career would be completely over if people knew that she had a father like that.
