Sierra Summers pouted slightly, feeling unwilling, but still obediently refrained from contradicting Ethan Summers.
Before leaving, Sierra hesitated for a moment, peeked out from behind Ethan, and waved at Caleb Sterling, “Caleb, Caleb Sterling, see you next time.”
Then she dodged Ethan’s hand like a kitten and ran out.
As the door closed, Sierra keenly heard Ethan let out a cold “huh.”
Oh, why does he dislike Caleb Sterling so much?
Is it that obvious in my behavior?
But honestly, I haven’t completely decided on my feelings yet~
Is liking someone reason enough to pursue them?
She’s never pursued anyone before, it seems like it would be difficult.
This time, seeing Caleb Sterling again, Sierra still couldn’t control her intense heartbeat; she couldn’t stop looking at him, and the more she looked, the more he seemed like her type.
Very much my type!
Really very much my type!

In the office.
Ethan Summers looked displeased, staring at Caleb Sterling who sat there as if nothing was wrong, “I’m telling you, stay away from my sister.
She’s just back home, naive and cute, knows nothing.”
“Because of that whole Quinn Wynn incident, now every heiress in Beldon that admires you knows about my sister, and that’s your fault, Caleb Sterling.”
Ethan slouched back on the sofa, speaking more casually after knowing him for so many years, “The Wynns are absolutely mad about you, like a rabid dog biting anyone they catch sight of, and my sister is not getting involved.”
“And neither is the Summers Family.”
After sitting up straight, Ethan spoke seriously.
No matter what issues lie between the Sterling Family and the Wynn Family, they have nothing to do with the Summers Family.
Caleb Sterling didn’t say a word throughout, his gaze seemingly wandering, settling on the paper bag as if lost in thought.

In the Summers’ house, inside Sierra’s room.
Sierra rolled back and forth on her bed, recalling her encounters with Caleb Sterling, feeling her cheeks heat up just thinking about them.
Inside her mind, Sierra carried on a split-dialogue with herself:
Timid Sierra: But, is this really love?
Is it really enough for me to pursue him?
Brave Sierra: You blush at the sight of him and get shy when you see him again.
If this isn’t love, then what is??
Timid Sierra: But maybe I only like one-tenth of Caleb Sterling, what if the remaining nine-tenths are parts I dislike?
Brave Sierra: What if the other nine-tenths are parts you’ll like even more?
Timid Sierra: Love at first sight, fondness at second glance, life-long commitment at third.
In dreams, it’s nice to imagine, but in reality, how many one-sided crushes end without a trace, and even when they do become mutual, end up in disappointment?
Brave Sierra: Maybe you’ll be the exception?
……
Sierra lay limp on her bed, burying her head in a pillow, letting out a faint groan.
Her bent legs slowly slid down, and she remained motionless for a while.
After some unknown time, Sierra suddenly sat up.
The first time liking someone, the first time understanding the feelings of a crush, the first time being so tangled up over a man, the first time feeling like an idiot not knowing what to do.
So many firsts, why aren’t they worth giving it a try?
Sierra, now completely decided on pursuing Caleb Sterling, couldn’t help but smile.
She was going to pursue Caleb Sterling!
Sierra opened WeChat and clicked on the top-pinned chat box.
[Sierra: Babe!
Your beloved Sierra has an announcement that will make the world rejoice~]
The response came quickly.
[Jasmine: What, finally slept with a man?]
Sierra was long accustomed to Jasmine Jennings’ way of speaking, and responded with a comeback meme, “You’re so sassy.jpg”.
Then she typed: I found a man I want to sleep with!
