My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1992

Johan's words frightened Miranda so much that her face turned pale. "Johan, Mrs. Silas adopted me. I would have died a long time ago if it weren't for her. How could I have nothing to do with the Silas family?"

Johan's face was somber, and his voice chilled Miranda to her bones. "You know that my mother was the one who took you in, but look at what you've been up to all these years?"

"Johan, what- what did I do?" Miranda said, trembling with fear.

Miranda was an expert at feigning a pitiful appearance and reaping sympathy from others. She even managed to tear up and gazed heart- wrenchingly at Johan at that very moment.

However, Johan did not buy into her ploy at all. Not only did his eyes demonstrate her no pity, there was also a trace of disdain that Miranda had never seen before.

He loathed her.

Upon realizing that, Miranda's heart was broken. Johan had been her dream for those past years. She had worked so hard to do so many things in order to stay by his side.

But how could he loathe her?

Miranda absolutely would not allow it. "Johan, you know everything I've done ever since I joined the Silas family. I didn't study well when I was a child but I worked hard in order to get into a good university so that I wouldn't bring shame to you and Mrs. Silas. That's all I have been doing these past years."

"Is that all you've done?" Johan smiled coldly, his smile riddled with disdain and hatred. "Miranda, do you want me to list them out for you? Do you think that I don't know what you said to Sierra?"

A few years ago, when Miranda and Sierra were at that cafe, Johan was right by them.

He did not come out to stop them because he thought that Sierra would have faith in his feelings for her and would be unaffected by Miranda's words. Unexpectedly, Sierra ended up giving in.

Had Sierra understood him at all, or had she had more faith in their relationship, she would not have made such a decision.

However, Sierra did not. She believed Miranda's words and thought that the person he really loved was Miranda.

She would rather believe an outsider who had nothing to do with her than ask him what his true feelings were.

That was the reason why he had treated Sierra with harshness and indifference all those years. He was mad that Sierra didn't understand how he felt about her, and that she had treated him like a commodity that could be bargained.

Nheless, no matter how angry he was, his feelings for her had never changed, not even a shred.

He was mad because Sierra had assumed that he didn't love her. He was mad because she could think of all sorts of ways to trap him, but she was never once willing to ask if he loved her.

A perfect example would be what had happened that very afternoon. Sierra had gotten into trouble with a group of thugs on her way to the airport and Johan knew that she didn't set that up. He deliberately provoked her, hoping that she would explain to him that things weren't like how he had made it out to be,

yet she admitted it in one fell swoop.

Her attitude in making the same mistakes over and over again made him boil with rage.

"Johan, did Sierra say something to you?" Miranda thought that Sierra must have tattled something bad about her in front of Johan. Otherwise, Johan would never have done that to her.

"Johan, don't listen to her one-sided story. You have to listen to my explanation as well." Anxious, Miranda reached out to Johan but before she could even touch his sleeve, she froze still from his devoid glance.

"She had never said anything to me." He was waiting for Sierra to tell him herself, but Sierra had never thought that she could rely on him and that he would be on her side.

"Johan, if it's because of me that there is some misunderstanding between you and Sierra, then let me explain it to her. As long as I make it clear to her, she will definitely forgive you." Since Miranda couldn't get through to Johan, she had no choice but to return to her old ways and try to get through to Sierra.

"Get lost!" Johan rebuked angrily, "I'm warning you, don't you ever show up in front of Sierra again. If you say so much as a single word to her, I'll definitely make you regret doing so."

"Johan...."

"Get out of my face now!"

Initially, Miranda thought that she would be able to return to Johan's side after returning to the country but she had never taken into consideration that her plan would fail before it had even started.

She was completely and thoroughly defeated.

She didn't want to leave. She wanted to stay by Johan's side and take one more glance at him. However, the pure hatred in his eyes looked as real as it could be.

She didn't want to see it, and she didn't want to believe that he could come to be so cruel to her.

Back then, when she was still an ignorant child who was abandoned by her family, Mrs. Silas was the one who took her home. The warmth she felt in that family was unprecedented

Johan took care of her like she was his own sister, and Miranda, too, thought of him as her brother, a person who she could rely on. Eventually, Johan grew to become a fine young man, and wherever he went, he was a vista to behold.

It was a piece of cake for him to get into the best university in the country. Hence, in order to catch up with him, Miranda studied day and night to enroll herself into the same university as him.

She had been hammering away and she never dared to slow down throughout those years as she knew that if she could not keep up with him, she would never have the chance to stay by his side.

At that moment, she knew that her feelings for him had changed. It was no longer familial affection that she used to feel for him.

Just as she was preparing for the college entrance examination and looking forward to going to the same university with him, Johan sent her a text message telling her that he had found a girl he liked.

The weather that day was beautiful,

and she was buried in her studies. It

was the first time that she had received a message from him. It was just two short sentences, but she could still feel his emotions from between the lines. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It was the happiest he had ever been ever since she met him.

The message read, "Miranda, I met a girl today. Right off the bat, I knew that she was the girl I've been looking for for my entire life. You should study hard and I'll bring you to meet her when you get into this school."

At that moment, regardless of the nice weather, Miranda felt like the sky was gloomy as it sapped away every last bit of her energy.

She wondered, if she had confessed to Johan earlier, would he have accepted her? Perhaps if she had, he wouldn't have fallen in love with another

girl.

However, she knew very well that there were no 'ifs' in this world. She had been a step too late in confessing her love for him, so she had lost before she could even begin.

Later, she'd learned from the messages Johan sent her that the girl he liked was Sierra. From then on, she started doing a background check on Sierra and found out that Sierra was from the well-known and powerful Yard family.

Compared with the daughter of the Yard family, she knew that she could never stand a chance. However, she didn't want to give up that easily. She wanted to take back what belonged to her on her own.

Hence, from that day on, she studied even harder than ever before.

She must show Johan her merits.

She wanted him to know that although she didn't come from a wealthy family like Sierra, she could be better at studying than Sierra. Furthermore, she wasn't bad looking; she figured she should be better looking than Sierra,
