Chapter 26 To Drink Away Her Sorrow

Sophie Lucas did not notice Sierra Moore's thoughts and continued to speak in a shocking manner.

"Maybe he fell in love with you at first sight. This can explain why he would do so many things and force you to sign an indenture contract. It is because he likes you!"

The more she spoke, the more ridiculous it became.

Sierra Moore rolled her eyes helplessly, thinking to herself, "If Nathan Shaw likes me, pigs might fly."

Sophie Lucas was still analyzing, and she was sure that Nathan Shaw had a purpose in doing this. Unfortunately, Sierra Moore did not take it seriously. She held her coffee and looked at the street scenery downstairs.

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open and two passengers walked in from outside.

Sierra Moore inadvertently turned around and saw the woman walking in the front. She was here to buy coffee for takeout. From time to time, she turned her head to look behind her as if she was afraid that the person waiting would be anxious.

"Clarison! Just wait a little longer. Coffee will be ready soon!"

A young man's voice came from the woman's side. He was obviously a little impatient. "Ive already said that I don't want to drink coffee. If not ready, I'll leave first!"

The woman looked very flustered when she heard this and hurriedly said, "Clarison, don't worry. It's almost done."

She spoke to the boy beside her in a gentle voice, but when she turned around, it was as if she had completely changed into a different person. She said fiercely, "Hurry up. My son is getting anxious while waiting!"

The coffee was freshly made, so naturally, it would take some time. However, the clerk did not dare to offend the customer, so he could only smile.

The coffee was finally ready. The lady unhappily slapped a piece of cash on the table and said in an overbearing tone, "Keep the change!"

The cashier looked embarrassed and chased to give the change to her, but she had already left with the coffee.

The moment the glass door opened, the woman pushed the door sideways. It was because of this that Sierra Moore saw the boy besides this woman.

It was a thin young man who looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old. He wore blue sportswear and carried a schoolbag on his back. His face was clearly impatient.

"Clarison Moore?"

When Sierra Moore saw the young man, she immediately got up and chased after him. Unfortunately, she was a step too late. That mother and son had already disappeared outside the cafe.

This was a shopping mall filled with people. It was not easy to find someone. Sierra Moore stomped her feet unwillingly.

"You ran so fast. Who did you see?" Sophie Lucas came over and asked.

Sierra Moore told Sophie Lucas what she saw and said, "I suspect that person is Clarison Moore."

Sophie Lucas got the gist and asked, "Are you saying that you suspect that the guy you saw just now is your uncle's illegitimate child?"

Seeing Sierra Moore nod, Sophie Lucas rolled her eyes.

"Come on, I remember you said that you had only spent a short time with him. In addition, children usually have grown so fast. It has been six years. Are you sure you still remember his appearance?"

"Of course, I remember!"

Sierra Moore's voice suddenly rose very high, but soon her momentum fell again. She said, "In the winter of Clarison Moore's arrival at home, my aunt invited someone to take a family photo for us. That photo is in my wallet now."

Sierra Moore lost her wallet when she was in Dark Night. Sophie Lucas always felt sorry for what happened that day. Sophie Lucas asked someone to look for it, but it was a pity that she could not find it.

Thinking of her younger brother in name, Sierra Moore felt deeply moved. She said, "When I saw him back then, he was only nine years old. He didn't like to talk and was like an old man."

Perhaps it was because she suddenly thought of the past. Bitterness surged up in Sierra Moore's mind and tears welled up in her eyes.

Sophie Lucas teased her, "Speaking of which, your aunt is really amazing. She also raised her husband and his lover's child. What kind of generosity is this!"

Hearing what she said, Sierra Moore glared at her.

"Clarison is the child of my uncle with another woman before he got married. In fact, when my aunt decided to take him in and raise him, I also did not understand it. I opposed it, but my aunt took his hand and said to me," Sisi, Clarison will be your brother in the future. Don't bully him! "

Sophie Lucas saw that Sierra Moore's complexion wasn't too good and didn't dare to joke with her. Sophie Lucas said to her, "You just glanced at him in a hurry. You can't be sure that it is him."

Although she said that, Sierra Moore was still unhappy.

Sophie Lucas hooked her arm around Sierra Moore's shoulder and said, "Alright, stop thinking about it. If he is really still in this city, you will meet him sooner or later. Now, let's find a place to sit down and have a good talk about your issue."

What Sophie Lucas said made a lot of sense. Sierra Moore nodded and was about to turn around to leave when she suddenly stopped.

In her line of sight, Emily Mason was walking toward her. She intimately held the arm of a woman, and the two of them chatted and laughed, looking very happy.

Seeing that Sierra Moore had stopped, Sophie Lucas called out to her, "Sierra Moore, why stop?"

By the side, Emily Mason had also seen Sierra Moore. Because they were too close, it was difficult to avoid Sierra Moore. Emily Mason looked at the person beside her with some worry.

Seeing that Sierra Moore had been looking at the two, Sophie Lucas guessed that they might know each other. However, she was smart and did not speak because she found that the expressions of the three were a little strange.

Sierra Moore turned out to ask first, forcing herself to smile and trying to maintain Moore Family's dignity. "Mrs. ,Lee, long time no see. How are you and Mr. Lee doing?"

This person was Jack Lee's mother. When she saw Sierra Moore here, she was also very surprised. No one could understand the complex expression in her eyes.

As if she felt that the person beside her was very nervous, she gently patted Emily Mason's hand and said to Sierra Moore, "It's Miss Moore! When did you return to the country?"

It sounded distant when Sierra Moore heard the other party call her Miss Moore. Sierra Moore's heart trembled, and the smile on her face became difficult to maintain.

Anyone could see that the lady was obviously being distant from Sierra Moore. Emily Mason, who was at the side, was extremely happy when she saw this.

Emily Mason looked at Mrs. Lee and said obediently, "Mrs. Lee, I remember you said last time that your skin is a little allergic. There is a newly opened cosmetic store in front of us. It has a good reputation. Let's go and take a look!"

Mrs. Lee looked at her lovingly. "Lovely! You are always so considerate. It is really Jackie's good fortune that he has a girlfriend like you."

Sierra Moore thought to herself, "Is this deliberately said for me to hear?"

Sierra Moore's expression completely collapsed.

She remembered that when she was with Jack Lee in the past, Mrs. Lee did not like her very much. On the surface, she treated Sierra Moore very well, but behind Sierra Moore's back, she always said that Sierra Moore was too delicate.

At that time, Jack Lee was focused on Sierra Moore. He even went to study abroad together with Sierra Moore. This also made Mrs. Lee have a deeper grudge against Sierra Moore. When Moore Family collapsed, she finally found an excuse to let her son get rid of this delicate girl.

After all, Sierra Moore had been with Mrs. Lee's son for so many years. Apart from her self-willed temper, Sierra Moore's family background and her appearance were all superior, so Mrs. Lee did not add insult to injury to Sierra Moore.

Mrs. Lee just said to Sierra Moore politely and distantly, "Miss Moore, you and your friends are here shopping, right? My daughter-in-law and I are going to take a look at the front, so I won't disturb you. Goodbye!"

The word "daughter-in-law" sounded really harsh to Sierra.

Sierra Moore smiled bitterly. She really wanted to ask about Jack Lee. She cared about whether he was sick.

She thought to herself, "Did Jackie really forget about me?"

She opened her mouth but found that she could not say a word. She could only watch Mrs. Lee and Emily Mason leave together.

When they passed by each other, Emily Mason's proud eyes made Sierra Moore feel like there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.

"Sisi."

Sophie Lucas called out to Sierra Moore softly. She wanted to ask Sierra Moore who these people were.

However, seeing the sad expression on Sierra Moore's face and being afraid of bringing up something painful, Sophie Lucas simply did not say anything and just held Sierra Moore's hands to support her.

Sierra Moore was silent for a while, then she suddenly turned to look at Sophie Lucas and said, "Sofi, I want to have a drink."

Sierra Moore's expression was clearly very calm, but Sophie Lucas felt that she was very sad, so sad that she was about to cry.

"There's a new KTV upstairs. I'll take you there."

When Nathan Shaw came out of the company, it was already dark outside.

The security guard drove his car to the entrance of the company. As soon as he sat in the car, he received a call from Steven Jones. "Nathan, Miss Young is treating you to a meal in Golden Orchid Pavilion. We are waiting for you."

"I got it," Nathan Shaw raised his eyebrows.

In the square below the department store, when the car drove into the VIP passage, the security guard who had just changed shifts came over and greeted him warmly. "Mr. Shaw, you are here!"

Nathan Shaw did not hear what he said and directly drove the car to the underground parking lot.

After parking the car, Nathan Shaw took the elevator upstairs.

The Golden Orchid Court's business had always been very good, and it was overcrowded the moment the work day ended. A lot of people had queued for a long time to wait for dinner.

Of course, these were not a problem for him.

There were three people in the luxurious private room. When Nathan Shaw pushed open the door and entered, they had already started eating. When they saw him enter, they all raised their heads and looked at him.

When Nathan Shaw pushed open the door and entered, the three people in the private room were eating happily.

When Steven Jones saw Nathan Shaw, he waved his hand and greeted, "Nathan, come and sit!"

Next to him, George Young only gave Nathan Shaw a calm expression, "You are here." After saying that, he did not expect Nathan Shaw to answer. He lowered his head and focused on processing the steamed crab on the plate. His movements were orderly and gentle.

Everyone was obviously used to each other's style, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with him doing this.

After sitting down, Nathan Shaw looked at the other person and asked him, "When did you come back?"

"Ryan just arrived in the afternoon. I went to pick him up," Steven Jones answered for him.

Ryan Holland looked at Nathan Shaw with a pair of smiling eyes full of deep meaning.

"I heard that something very special happened these past few days. Did you tell your dudes? Did you really bring the kitten home?"

Steven Jones was obviously the one who didn't know. He quickly came over and asked, "Something special? Kitten? What are you hiding from me?"

Nathan Shaw glanced at the person who was eating crabs with his head lowered. "Nothing else, but there is one person who is particularly annoying."

"You're late. This meal is on you." Hearing those words especially targeted at him, George Young raised his head and looked at Nathan Shaw.

Although Nathan Shaw knew that George Young was trying to change the topic, it just so happened that Nathan Shaw did not like this topic either, so he followed up, "Anything you want. Just treat it as a proper welcome for Ryan!"

Ryan Holland was dissatisfied. He knocked on the table and said, "You guys really know how to save time and just send me away like this?"
