A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 168

Sierra smiled gently and nodded.

After dinner, she instinctively stood up to clear the table, but Theo stopped her.

"Go sit on the couch. I'll handle it."

Sierra's eyes widened in disbelief. There was no way she could let him do all the cleaning. She quickly protested, "I can do it! Uncle Theo, you should rest."

But before she could begin tidying up, Theo grabbed her wrist and effortlessly lifted her into his arms. Striding toward the couch, he carefully set her down.

"Sit here and don't move."

Sierra's cheeks flushed, and she froze, too embarrassed to move. She watched him walk toward the dining table, rolling up his sleeves.

"Uncle Theo, there's an apron in the kitchen," she called out. "You should probably put it on."

Theo walked into the kitchen and spotted an apron with an adorable bunny design hanging on the wall. His expression faltered for a moment.

After a brief hesitation, he picked it up and tied it around his waist.

When Sierra saw him step out, she had to cover her mouth to stop herself from bursting into laughter.

The cute bunny apron completely softened Theo's usually cool and distant demeanor, making him seem unexpectedly approachable.

How adorable.

"What's so funny?" Theo asked, raising an eyebrow.

When he glanced up, he saw her fighting back laughter, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.

Sierra quickly pressed her lips together, shaking her head in denial.

Theo gave a brief, tight-lipped expression before clearing the trash from the dining table and carrying it outside, placing it by the door.

Sierra remained curled up on the couch, watching him in quiet disbelief. She could hardly believe that he was doing housework in her home.

"Wow, Cee! This is insane! I can't believe the billionaire CEO of Gray Corporation is actually cleaning your house. That's next-level stuff!"

She flashed Sierra a big thumbs-up, clearly loving every moment of it.

Feeling embarrassed, Sierra quickly pushed down Madison's hand.

Madison, however, wasn't about to stop there. "Theo is a total gem! He's got it all—power in the boardroom and skill in the kitchen. He's totally changed how I see him! I used to think of him like some untouchable, celestial figure, way above everyday life. But now I see him as the perfect family man!

"He's got the looks, the wealth, the physique—and most importantly, he's so caring. He's literally got every quality anyone could ever want. Cee, you're seriously lucky! You'd better snatch him up before someone else does!"

Her voice became more enthusiastic with every word. Flustered, Sierra quickly covered Madison's mouth with her hand.

"Maddy, keep it down! Stop saying all that nonsense!"

At that moment, Theo emerged from the kitchen, having just washed his hands. The apron was gone, and he returned to his usual cool, dignified self.
