Chapter 79 Chapter 79 Different Perspectives
With a smile, Vera flattered, “As long as you like it. | didn't know when you'd be back, so I've been keeping it
close, afraid it would cool down and affect the taste. It seems this thermal container really does a great job. It
keeps things warm for a long time."
Sierra's expression changed slightly upon hearing Vera's words, “Mom, have you been here for a long time?
Vera hesitated, then shook her head. “No, | just cfor a little while.”
Sierra didn't believe her. She touched her hand, and it was shockingly cold, making her furrow her brows
#1 just washed my hands not long ago. | didn't wait long." Vera smiled awdwardly as she pulled her hand away.
Sierra felt a pang of sadness. She picked up the remote control on the table, turned on the heater, and grabbed
the nearby blanket to drape it over Vera. "You're getting older. Take care of your health. Don't neglect it."

Upon hearing this, Vera couldn't help but feel her chest tightening. Tears were brimming in her eyes, yet she
smiled. “Cer, | thought you might never talk toagain."
Sierra lowered her head before picking up the torkagain. “I know it was all William's doing. It wasn't your idea."
When Vera heard Sierra refer to William by his name, her eyes darkened. Was their father-daughter relationship
really this hard to mend?
The only sound in the living room was the clinking of the fork, and the silence made it feel somewhat awkward..
Vera recalled seeing Sierra get out of the car just outside the community and, after hesitating for a few seconds,
she softly asked, "Cee, | saw you were dropped off by a young man just now. Is he a friend of yours?"
Sierra slightly lowered her gaze and replied indifferently, “Mm.”
"I don't think I've seen him before."
"We just met recently. He's just a normal friend. You don't caround often, so how would you recognize my
friends? Siema's voice was calm, betraying no emotion
Vera's eyes dimmed a little. "It's because | haven't paid enough attention to you. I've always felt so guilty toward
you. Cee, please don't blme. I've tried my best."
As she spoke, her body began to tremble, and tears fell silently.
When Sierra was ten, Vera had tried to bring up the idea of talking her back hin front of William. However,
as soon as he heard it, his expression turned dark, and he severely punished her. After that, she couldn't get out
of bed for three days.
He had wamed her that if she ever mentioned bringing Sierra back hagain, he would make sure she would

Sierra watched Vera in sorrow, and her heart ached. She reached out and hugged her. "Mom, | don't blyou,"
“Really? Cee, you really don't blme? Vera grasped her hand while looking up at her.
Sierra nodded, “Mom, I'm an adult now, though. I can distinguish right from wrong, so | hope you can respect my
decisions."
Vera pressed her lips together. Then, she hesitated before speaking, “The Gray family is good, though. You won't
find a wealthier family than the Gray family."
"Why do | have to get married? Sierra retorted, her voice filled with confusion. "I can take care of myself. Even if |
do get married, | want to marry someone who truly cares about me.
“Cee, you're still too young. You don't understand. Marrying a rich man means you don't have to worry about life.
Isn't that a good thing?"
