Novel1Chapter 259 A Misunderstanding Sierra rummaged through her bag frantically. She couldn't afford to lose the marriage certificate she had just gotten.
Theo grabbed her hand and said in a deep voice, "I've put it away." Sierra let out a sigh of relief before she gave him a puzzled look. "That's my marriage certificate..." Why did Theo take it away from her? She hadn't finished her sentence, but he could tell what her concern was. He said in the most natural tone, "I'm worried that you might lose it. It's safer to letkeep it." Sierra found it to be slightly weird. She glanced at him, but she didn't say anything else.
Theo's heart instantly softened when he noticed how obedient she was, and he tightened his grip over her hand. Meanwhile, Adrian watched the couple through the rearview mirror. He stifled a laugh when he heard the way Theo sweet-talked Sierra.

Theo glanced at Sierra, who looked guilty, and his gaze turned affectionate.
"Don't worry. I've got your back. Also, stop callingUncle Theo. You'll mislead anyone who hears it." He didn't elaborate on how she would mislead people, but she was already blushing.
If Sierra couldn't address him as uncle, then how would she address him? She looked so troubled that her face scrunched up in conflict. Theo saw the look on her face and found it adorable. He couldn't stop himself from reaching out.
Sierra felt someone pinching her cheek and turned around to look at him with a dazed expression.
"Uncle Theo..." Then, she corrected herself. "Theo. What are you doing?" Sierra's cheeks were burning up, and she was staring at him with her delicate eyes.
Theo immediately paused. He looked the same, but his ears turned frighteningly red. He let go of her and rubbed his ear. Then, he did his best to sound natural when he spoke. "Sounds great. You're addressingby my full nfrom now on." Both of them fell silent, but it seemed like the inside of the car was getting hotter by the second.
Back in Gray Manor, Benson was pacing back and forth anxiously. Meanwhile, Jwas sitting on the couch with an irritated look.

"Stop badmouthing Cee, Mom," Benson said, frowning.
