Chapter 618
The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus)
Chapter 618 Pick One as Your Bridesmaid Dress
***text
Samuel kept talking on the phone, but the more Sierra listened, the worse her
expression became. She didn't interrupt and just silently let Samuel continue.
"Marcus and I have known each other since we were kids. We were friends. Just
because I've been abroad all these years and haven't kept in touch with him, does
that give him the right to have his bodyguard beat me up?
"Is he doing this just because he's the heir of the Holden family? Just because
he's the richest man in the world, he thinks he can do whatever he wants?
"Cee, I'm in the hospital right now, alone and feeling terrible. Can you come keep me company?"
"Sorry," Sierra finally answered. "Samuel, I think you have a serious problem with
how you see things. I need some time alone to think. You should take some time
to reflect too.
"I disagree with what you're saying. When we were abroad, you told me you didn't
want anything from the Sinclair family. When Mr. Holden reached out and told you
about my biological parents, you said we were returning home to reconnect with our family, not to fight Sophia.
"Do you really not know the real reason we had to leave the country when we
were kids?"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she continued, "Most importantly, I can't accept the
fact that you're using the pain Sophia went through to attack her. You're her biological brother. If even you think this way, how is she supposed to go on? "Samuel, I didn't want to say this. You're my husband, and I should stand by you, but Sophia is my friend. I still remember when Mom first brought me back to the
Sinclair residence, it was Sophia who took me to her room, ran a bath for me, and
gave me her new clothes to wear.
"It was Sophia who held my hand that night, let me sleep next to her, and told me
that from that day on, I had a mom, too.
"When something happened to her, I was devastated. I wished I could kill the person who hurt her. But as her brother, how could you say something like this? "Now I finally understand why Mom and Sophia won't accept you returning to the Sinclair residence. It's because you don't deserve it."
After saying that, Sierra hung up the phone. As soon as the call ended, her tears
fell.
Sophia was such a good person. Did she choose to go through everything she suffered? Of course not.
Sierra regretted not apologizing to Elijah. Perhaps it was a good thing that Elijah
had broken Samuel's leg.
Samuel was beyond saving.
But... should she divorce him over this?
Sierra felt lost. Her whole life had been intertwined with Samuel's. But she would
never forget how Sophia had treated her with kindness, warmth, and joy when
she first arrived at the Sinclair residence.
Sophia had even said that she would treat Sierra like a younger sister since she was older, and that the day Sierra was brought back by Samantha was her new
birthday.
new life.
Now, on one side was her husband, on the other was someone she considered a
sister. Her husband was also her sister's biological brother.
By all logic, they should be the closest of family. But now, things had fallen apart.
Sierra sat in a daze for a while before her phone rang again. It was Samuel calling
back.
Annoyed, she simply hung up and blocked his number.
Taking a deep breath, she called Sophia. Sierra hadn't seen her since returning
to
Dithoria State.
Back at the beach, when she ran over to Samuel, Sophia had already left.
The call connected, but Sophia took a long time to answer. "Hello, Sierra." "Sophia, I'm sorry." Sierra's first words were an apology. "I scolded Samuel for what he said. I'm apologizing to you on his behalf."
"Oh." Sophia's tone was indifferent. "Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."
"Sophia, let's meet. Since I got back, I haven't had time to see you and Mom. All
these years while I was abroad, I really missed you both."
Her voice grew choked. "I'm sorry you had to stay here alone all these years. It
must have been hard."
"Forget it." Sophia's voice turned
even colder. There's no need for us
to meet. My mom doesn't want to
see you or Samuel. And since you
and Samuel are two different people,
you can't apologize on his behalf.
Goodbye."
"Sophia, come pick one as your bridesmaid dress."
Sierra heard another voice in the background. It was Natalie.
"Coming!"
Before Sierra could say anything else, Sophia hung up.
Natalie was asking Sophia to choose a bridesmaid dress. Was Sophia going to
be
Natalie's bridesmaid?
At Nouvelle Zara Bridal Boutique, Natalie was pulling Sophia along to pick out a
bridesmaid dress.
Sophia glanced around and felt overwhelmed. There were so many beautiful
dresses. Every single one of them was breathtaking.
"Nat, are you sure you want me as your bridesmaid?" she asked hesitantly while
browsing. "My past has been messy. I don't want to ruin your wedding."
Sophia loved every dress she saw, but she didn't dare to pick one.
"Nat, I think I should sit this one out. Your wedding with Marcus is the most
important event of your life. I don't want anything to taint it."
"I'm not worried, so why should you be?" Natalie held Sophia's hand tightly.
"Sophia, that's not the right way to think about this."
"I know you're looking out for me,
but I don't want to be selfish."
Sophia looked at Natalie with
gratitude. "Nat, thank you. You pulled
me out of hell. There's not much I
can do for you in return."
"The fact that you care means the world to me."

"Sophia, you really don't have to be
afraid." Natalie sighed. "You didn't do
anything wrong. You can't let what

Sophia laughed. "You care about me, and I care about you."
Natalie concurred. "We care about each other."
Sophia continued, "Please, just say it's alright. Okay?"
Sophia pouted and pleaded with Natalie, who could only sigh and agree. "Okay,
okay."
Sophia broke into a smile. "Have you decided on your bridesmaids yet?"

"She won't," Sophia reassured her, linking arms with Natalie. "And you're way
more beautiful than she is."
