Accidentally Yours, Mr. Stranger-Chapter 63: Where in the Will? - Part 1
Chapter 63: Where in the Will? - Part 1
Kyrell didn’t sleep a wink the entire night. As soon as the clock hit 4, he got up and hit the gym. Stress, anxiety, worry, guilt- all sorts of emotions bombarded him, and he increased the speed of the treadmill, trying hard to distract his mind.
The long-hidden secret from his past had been revealed before the lady he liked. However, instead of feeling relieved, he only felt terrible. He didn’t know how Sienna’s behavior towards him would be and if there would be a change in their dynamics henceforth. He could only hope that everything would be normal and they would return to how they were before, even if they weren’t friends.
"Yo, the lover boy is up early," Xavier teased as he entered the gym. Like Kyrell, Xavier was also a fitness freak and woke up at 4 a.m. daily. He was obsessed with exercising, and if he skipped working out even for a day, he felt as if his skin was crawling and something was banging in his heart.
Kyrell didn’t respond. Heck, he didn’t even listen to him. He continued exercising, now moving to the pull-up machine, flexing his biceps every time he went up.
"Any news from Miss Lawrence?" Xavier asked, not perturbed by his silence.
Again, Kyrell didn’t reply, and Xavier shook his head.
It looks like Lover Boy is stressed. If I disturb him now, it’s akin to touching a ready-to-explode grenade.
Not disturbing his friend anymore, Xavier started with light exercises to loosen his muscles.
As time passed, the others from the Cheetah Corps hit the gym as well. While the others involved in light talk, Kyrell didn’t speak even once. He continued exercising without taking a break as if he were on steroids. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
It was only when his watch buzzed at 7.30 that he stopped and returned to his room.
By the time Sienna arrived downstairs, it was almost 8.30, and she noticed Kyrell pacing anxiously as he looked at the stairs every few seconds.
"Good morning, everyone," she chirped, gaining everyone’s attention. "Good morning, Mr. Winchester."
Sienna smiled at him, reverting to how she had been before his truth came out. In fact, she was even more amicable than before, and Kyrell’s heart leaped in joy when he saw that his status in her heart hadn’t dropped. Instead, it had only risen.
Xavier’s lips curled into a blissful smile when he saw that everything was not just alright between the couple, but had become better.
Lover boy must be over the moon. Look at his smile. I’ve never seen him smile like this before, not even when he was conferred with a medal. Love indeed makes humans stupid.
"Good morning, Miss." Agnes entered the dining hall carrying a piping hot dish. The steam from the dish floated in the air as she placed the bowl on the table.
"Agnes, what are you doing here?" Sienna was surprised to see her home. "When did you return?"
"Miss, I came at dawn. Now that Tony is awake and my husband is with him, I can return to work in peace."
Sienna understood at once what she was insinuating.
When Anthony was unconscious, the couple couldn’t do anything. So, Agnes stayed by her son’s side while Frank remained by Sienna’s side, for she needed him at that vulnerable time.
Since Anthony was awake now, Agnes didn’t need to stay by his side day and night. Instead, the young man needed his father more to take care of him.
"You could have taken a few days off."
"It’s fine, Miss. I will visit the hospital once I’m done here," Agnes assured her, and Sienna didn’t force her. It was up to the couple.
"What did you cook?" Sienna didn’t even have to enter the dining hall. The delicious smell wafted in the air, making her stomach growl.
"Some light breakfast, Miss. I will cook your favorites for dinner. I know you missed my cooking."
"I absolutely did."
Although Sienna loved Gary’s food, it wasn’t what she was used to. All these years, it was Agnes’ food she had grown up eating, and her taste buds were accustomed to her cooking. So, she missed it dearly and was waiting to eat her fill.
"Have you met my new security, Agnes?" Sienna asked, taking her chair and gesturing for the others to sit.
"Yes, Miss. Frank introduced them."
"Where’s Frank?" Sienna asked, helping herself to some sausages and scrambled eggs.
"He left an hour ago."
"I see. I see." Sienna nodded, moaning in delight when her tongue tasted the familiar taste.
While Agnes returned to the kitchen, the other started eating.
"Miss Lawrence, we made new changes to your security after listening to your suggestion," Xavier started, taking the lead.
Last night, after meeting Kyrell outside Sienna’s study, he gathered the others and came up with a new plan to protect her, considering her suggestion.
"Go ahead."
"Kyrell and Amy will be your main bodyguards. Isaac and I will be your other bodyguards while Kyle, Gary, Kelsey, Justin, and Nick will take turns to protect you secretly and watch over the villa," Xavier explained the new plan to her.
All of it had been planned without Kyrell’s permission. So, he looked at him, asking him for his opinion.
"I have no qualms with your arrangement. You guys decide how you want to do it."
"Okay, Miss Lawrence."
Xavier was about to say something else when Sienna’s phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
"Sorry about that." Flashing him a smile, her forehead creased when she saw an unknown number.
Is it the Nelson family again? Didn’t I slap their faces enough? Are they masochists?
Though skeptical, she answered the call and waited.
"Sienna, it’s me, Dane."
Since Sienna had blocked his number, he had to use another number to contact her. As if sensing she was about to end the call, Dane said, "Don’t end the call, Sienna. I have something important to tell you."
"Mr. Ledger, I have nothing to talk to you about. We’re done."
Kyrell’s ears perked up when he heard her take Dane’s name, and his eyes moved to her instantly.
"Are you sure, Sienna?"
Sienna heard a strange evilness in his voice, and her frown deepened, an ominous feeling budding in her heart.
"Do you not want to listen to me even if I told you I have your father’s will?"
