My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1994

Johan was still clamming up. Maxtor was so anxious that he couldn't stand still. "Johan, what happened between you and Sierra? Can't you at least explain the situation to me?"

After a long silence, Johan looked up and out of the window. "There have been so many fights and misunderstandings between us in the past years and it seems that the past was a time that we can never go back to."

Upon hearing this, Maxtor seemed to have put his finger on the crux of the problem. "Did Miranda make Sierra misunderstand you?"

Maxtor said earnestly, "Johan, I've told you before that that woman has a twisted psyche and you need to stay away from her. You pitied her for being an orphan, but look at what she has been up to."

"It has nothing to do with Miranda. It's me. If I..." If he had explained everything to Sierra back then, she wouldn't have felt that insecure about their relationship.

He knew everything, but he still got mad at her.

Maxtor continued, "Hey, this is not the Johan I know. Are you telling me that you want to give up on the years of relationship you guys have?"

"I don't want to, and I want to start over with her. But I'm not sure if she's willing to give me a chance to start all over with her again." Johan turned back and looked at Sierra, who was lying on the hospital bed.

She used to be full of energy, and everyone around her would be deeply attracted to her. It was him who destroyed her self esteem and made her feel insecure.

The moment he saw her pass out earlier, it suddenly occurred to him that what she needed from him was his sincere care. She just wanted him to tell her that he truly loved her.

However, he had failed to do such a simple thing throughout the years they were together.

Sierra gradually regained her consciousness and opened her eyes slowly. The first person who entered her line of vision was Maxtor. She was stunned. "Maxtor, why are you here?"

"I saw you fainting as soon as I came out of the gate, so I sent you to the infirmary." It was Johan who had asked Maxtor to keep it a secret as he was worried that Sierra wouldn't want to see him, so he left before she woke up.

"I came here to pick you up, but you had to send me to the infirmary instead. I'm really sorry, Maxtor." Although Sierra didn't say it, deep down, she had already regarded Johan as a heartless man.

She'd fainted right in front of him, yet he didn't even bother to send her to the infirmary.

However, she could understand why he had behaved that way. He had just reunited with the woman he loved, how in the world would he be in any mood to care about an inconsequential woman such as her?

"Sierra, are you feeling better?" Maxtor noticed the flash of disappointment that sped through her eyes.

As long as she still cared about Johan, even by a modicum, Johan would still have a chance to win Sierra back.

"Yeah, I'm fine now." Sierra smiled brightly. "Thank you!"

"We are good friends. You don't have to be this formal to me." Maxtor sat Sierra up as he continued, "Let's go, let's head downtown first." "Okay." Sierra nodded.

On the way out, Maxtor asked again, "Sierra, did you have a fight with Johan?" "Not exactly a fight but I just realized all of a sudden that he doesn't have me in his heart at all so I just decided to give up I guess." Now that she had moved on, Sierra was willing to talk about Johan openly in front of others.

Maxtor was surprised by Sierra's words. He said, "Who said that Johan doesn't have you in his heart? Did he tell you that himself? Or did you hear it from someone else?"

Sierra asked in reply, "Does it matter though?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Of course it does." Maxtor tried his best to persuade her. "You're giving up on a man who you have loved for so many years. Shouldn't you at least figure out the reason that made you decide to give up on him?"

"I just never felt any love from him. If it was just someone else telling me that he didn't love me, that wouldn't have stopped me from loving him." If it weren't for Johan's actions that made her feel so neglected time and time again, how would she have been able to let go?

Sometimes, it wasn't that one had fallen out of love, but they had simply accepted reality as it was.

Loving someone was something joyful but whenever she chased after Johan, all she felt was unbearable pain. Life was so short, so why should she torture herself like that?

Maxtor said, "Why do you think that he doesn't love you? Perhaps he loves you very much, but he's just restraining his emotions due to some other reason."

"Maxtor, can we stop talking about him already? I don't want to talk about the past anymore. I don't want my mood to be affected by people who don't matter to me anymore."

"Well okay. How about you treat me to a meal then?" Maxtor said as he prayed for Johan in his heart, hoping that he would be able to win his beloved girl back.

"Okay, you can choose any restaurant you like."

"Since it's your treat, I'll have to

choose the most expensive restaurant in town. The food doesn't have to be good, but as long as it has the poshest interiors and superb services, then I'm totally down for it."

Sierra was really amused by Maxtor's exaggerations. "You really are the same old you, Maxtor. It's been three years since we last met but you're still the same."

Maxtor said flippantly, "It's because that's the only way for me to be on par with your status."

"My status?" Sierra shook her head. "I admit that my family background has brought me a lot of riches and privileges. However, it has brought me a great deal of obstacles too."

It was so when she became the top scorer on her own efforts back then as many people thought that she didn't deserve the title.

Many of them assumed that she had only been awarded such a title due to her family connections.

Tried as she might to score well, all of them brushed all her efforts away and assumed that her family had provided her everything.

"Every family has its own troubles, and every individual has different struggles to contend with in life." Maxtor's family was pretty well-off too, so he understood Sierra's worries well.

Sierra took a deep breath and patted Maxtor's shoulder. "Alright, enough of all these. Let's just have fun and enjoy to our heart's content today." "Okay." Maxtor responded as he looked back. Johan was in the crowd, his gaze fixated on Sierra.

Maxtor thought that Johan was no longer the same man he once knew. Johan used to be like a sun, warming everyone up wherever he went. However, as he became more mature and charming, his temperament had done a complete turnaround as he would give off a gloomy and dark aura every now and then.

Even when he was right beside, one would feel that he was far away, and there was never a happy smile on his face.

It was indeed true that love could be more toxic than poison. It could make a stone-cold man melt into a puddle.

At the sight of Johan, Maxtor vowed that he would stay single forever, and that he would never change who he was for a woman.
