My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1986

Thanks to the heavy workload that she had been attending to lately, Sierra couldn't help but drift off for a few hours straight. She probably would have slept till dawn if hunger did not hit her just then.

She opened her eyes and noticed that Johan was next to her, making her think that she was still in dreamland.

However, as she looked carefully and realized that Johan was indeed sitting next to her, she immediately questioned in utter shock, "Why-why are you here?"

As soon as her words left her, Sierra recalled what had happened earlier that afternoon. She hadn't gone home at all and was instead forcefully shoved into Johan's car.

She looked away and out of the window. The lights outside were scattered, so she guessed that it was already late in the evening.

She glanced at the clock to check the time and realized that it was already past eleven o'clock at night. She looked back at Johan and asked, "Where is this place? What the h*ll do you want to do?"

Johan's face fell upon hearing her words. Under the dim light, his face looked slightly twisted, and his voice was even more terrifying. "Don't you know where this place is?"

"Why should I know?" Looking at his sudden flip of expression, Sierra responded to him, discarding all decorum.

He was the one who brought her there yet he was asking her where they were. She didn't have a GPS system embedded in her body so how would she know?

"Huh..." Johan sneered, not a word formed, and the atmosphere in the car was depressing.

"Mr. Silas, let's talk it over. Don't show me that face all the time. Honestly, at this point in time, I really don't want to guess what you're thinking about or what you're mad about anymore." Sierra had tried countless times to make this relationship work but to no avail. She was emotionally drained; she didn't want to waste any more energy on him.

Sierra paused and waited for him to speak. However, just like before, Johan's reply was never forthcoming.

She continued, "If you don't want to talk to me, then please let me go now. It's late, I have to go home and rest."

At that instant, Johan finally parted his lips, but all he said was a repetition of his previous sentence. "Don't you know where this place is?"

"Mr. Silas, is there something wrong with my way of communicating, or is there something wrong with your hearing? Why can't you understand what I say?" In the past, Sierra thought that she knew him well but she was starting to realize that she knew nothing about that man at all. She couldn't even figure out the reason why he had brought her to that godforsaken place.

"Sierra Yard!" Johan shouted Sierra's name coldly. His cold gaze fell on her, looking as if he could not wait to devour her alive.

"Mr. Silas, you look very scary now." He was terrifying, but Sierra was not afraid of him. She knew him well, and that he would never hurt anyone. He would only dish out cold and violent tactics and ignore her.

Sierra thought that since they couldn't talk things out, she had decided not to waste any more breath on him.

She turned her body and gazed out of the car window. It was already in the dead of night. The shops along the street were mostly closed for business and on the other side of the street was a young couple walking hand in hand, chatting away happily.

The couple seemed to be in their early twenties, both of whom were in their prime age, just like her and Johan during their university years.

Thinking of that, something suddenly flashed through Sierra's mind, and the scene in front of her gradually became familiar.

"Isn't this Southgate Avenue, the street where our university is?"

Although there were some changes here and there in the past years, it still looked pretty much the same. No wonder Johan was mad when she couldn't recognize it.
