My Second Husband novel Chapter 1180

"Maybe it's best for you to leave first. She's not in a good mood right now."

Eddison worded it nicely so when he said those words, everyone left without making further comments. As the crowd dispersed, Eddison noticed Rachel who was standing at the edge of the crowd.

"Why are you here too?"

Rachel came back to her senses as she replied, "Oh! I...everyone is here, so I..."

"You weren't startled, right?"

Eddison suddenly spoke.

Rachel was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that Eddison was asking her if she had been startled by Sierra's sudden appearance that morning.

She originally held a bit of resentment, but it dissipated after hearing his words of concern.

"I'm fine! It's not like I'm made of paper."

"That's good! Then...you should head back!"

Rachel had just wanted to ask if he would return home as well, but before she could say anything, Sierra started yelling again.

"Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

"Sierra!" Eddison hurriedly walked over. "Sierra, are you having nightmares again?"

"Eddison, fortunately, I met you on my way! Otherwise, I really don't know what would have happened!" Sierra cried out while hugging Eddison's arm.

Eddison looked back at Rachel apologetically.

"I'll ask the driver to pick you up. I'll return home late."

"It's okay!" Rachel shook her head and said, "I can go back by myself!"

After that, she went out.

Eddison looked at her back, still feeling worried. He called the driver before comforting Sierra.

"Sierra, don't worry. I've already sent people to look for Jairus. I'll make sure to seek justice for you!"

"Forget it! Forget it! If he finds me, he will definitely hit me!"

"No, he won't! This is a lawful country. He wouldn't dare to do that!"

Sierra could not help but cry again, "Eddie, it's a good thing that you're with me. It's all my fault. You told me that he was dangerous but I thought that he was really nice to me. I was so stupid!"

"Forget about the past! Sierra, just rest well!"

After Eddison finished speaking, he helped Sierra to lie down. However, Sierra immediately sat up again, "Where are you going? Don't go! I'm afraid!"

Eddison shook his head, "I'm not leaving! I'll be here tonight. I won't leave until your family arrives tomorrow!"

"You've informed my family? Do you find me annoying?"

Eddison frowned, "No! It's just that you're a girl. It's inconvenient for me to stay here for too long! Your family will take good care of you!"

Sierra's fingers curled up slightly, "Eddison, you actually like me, don't you?"

Eddison was stunned, "Sierra..."

"I know you like me! I can feel it in my heart. I used to think that it was better to treat you as a younger brother, but later I found out that you're the only one who treats me sincerely! Eddison, let's get together, okay?"

Eddison opened his mouth and suddenly thought of Rachel.

He was reminded of the day Sierra had gotten drunk. She had made him sign an agreement that he would not leave her even for a hundred years. He promised her...

"Sierra, actually, I..."

"Stop talking! I know that you dislike me now! I also dislike myself. Get out! I want to be alone for a while!"

After saying that, Sierra covered herself with the blanket and shielded herself from the world.

Eddison did not say anything in the end. He was in a tough spot. After all, Sierra had helped him a lot in the past. Pouring salt on her wound was not something he could bring himself to do.

He would wait until she got better to talk to her about it.
