Chapter 355 New Year's Wishes Theo understood Sierra's meaning. Had he not, he wouldn't have remained patient all this tafter marriage. If the surprise hadn't caught him off guard earlier, he wouldn't have cso close to losing control.
Only cherished feelings were precious, so naturally, he would not entertain improper thoughts.
Seeing Sierra's apologetic and awkward expression, he leaned down and kissed the corner of her lips. "I should be the one apologizing. I got carried away just now." The unease in her eyes faded, replaced by a bright glow as she gave him a radiant smile. "Thank you, Theo." They smiled at each other, the atmosphere warming between them. As Theo leaned in for another kiss, she quickly turned away, her eyes flickering as she slipped into the bathroom. "It's late-tto wash up and sleep." Watching her flee, he chuckled softly, carefully tucking away the cufflinks.

Previously, Madison had doubts about Theo's "capabilities".
Then, the memory of the unmistakable pressure against Sierra's abdomen during their embrace rushed back. Mortification swept over her as she covered her face in embarrassment.
Oh my gosh! Sierra stayed in the bathroom for a long time, waiting for the heat in her cheeks to fade. Finally, she stepped out. Theo, now dressed in pajamas, sat on the bed, his expression unusually serious as he focused on his phone. At the sound of her footsteps, he set it aside and reached over to pull back the covers for her.
As she settled in, he wrapped an arm around her and drew her close, murmuring, "You've had a long day. Get srest." Whether it was the comfort of his presence or sheer exhaustion, Sierra drifted off almost instantly.
Holding her with one arm, Theo picked up his phone with the other and sent Adrian an image. "This one. Use the best materials-I'll send you the measurements." Adrian, finally off-duty, stared at the message in his hand. He then glanced at the TV screen, where celebrities were singing "Auld Lang Syne" in celebration.
He couldn't help but feel dazed, thinking, "Isn't today New Year's Eve?" Theo set his phone aside, then took Sierra's delicate hand in his and squeezed it gently. Then, he measured around her right ring finger.
On the morning of the New Year, everyone woke up a bit late.

Sierra had barely made it downstairs before being bombarded with talk of marriage. Caught off guard, she stood there, momentarily stunned. She stared at Theo, wide-eyed and bewildered.
Taking in her adorably bewildered expression, he stepped forward and casually dropped a line "We just got married and aren't in a rush for kids yet." Then, without another word, he whisked Sierra off to the dining room for breakfast. Only after the guests left did the two reappear in the living room.
"Happy New Year, Dad," they mentioned in unison.
Just then, Benson and Sophie also cdownstairs, and Liam led them all in paying New Year's greetings to Edward.
Beaming, Edward pulled out the cash gift he'd prepared in advance. "Good, O good. May you all be well: Sierra, Sophie, here's a nice big New Year's gift for each of you, and Theo and Benson as well..."
