"Maddy, | don't want to owe Uncle Theo any favors. He's helpedso much, and I'm afraid | can never repay
him." Sierra looked up and spoke softly.
Besides, he was part of the Gray family. If things escalated between her and Benson, she knew fully well who
Theo would protect. It was better not to trouble him too much to avoid putting him in a dilemma.
Madison didn't realize Sierra's deeper thoughts. She merely answered, “But Theo never asked you to repay him.”
“He didn't askto, sure, but that doesn't mean | don't need to. When | was little, Grandpa always toldthat

Edward had specifically asked for. Madison listened to her words and felt both helpless and amused. She
pretended to be angry and sat down on a chait.
“Cee, now | finally understand why you'd immediately givesomething in retum the next day after 1 bought
you something when we first started hanging out. This is how you think-you never treatedas a true friend"
Sierra thought she was angry and quickly explained, "Maddy, it's not like you think. | consider you my best
friend, even my family. You're not like Theo."
Seeing how worried she was, Madison couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and pinched Sierra's little face
gently. “Alright, | was just teasing you. Don't | know how close we are? But Cee, your thinking is wrong. True
friends don't expect anything in retum"
“But someone who only gives will eventually get tired of it,” Sierra insisted.
Madison couldn't change her mind, so she sighed helplessly. Yet, she also understood a little. This must be the
influence of her family background.
Bobby taught her to be this way, fearing that she'd be easily deceived by others when she grew up, but this also
affected her ability to make friends. It was no wonder many people said she was aloof back in school.
Sierra must have summoned a lot of courage and trust to becfriends with her.
Madison couldn't help but wrap her arms around Sierra. “Cee, the people who truly love you don't expect
anything in return. Just like your grandfather-he only wanted the best for you, and never expected anything in
retum."
Sierra seemed to be gently moved by Madison's words.

She suddenly remembered something Bobby mentioned after telling her that all good things in life were not
given freely. He had said something else.
At that time, the young Sierra looked up at Bobby and asked tenderly, “Grandpa, why are you so good to me?
What good do I have to give back to you?"
Bobby smiled, hugged her in his arms, and replied, “Cee, just being by my side is the greatest gift you can give
me. Skindness has conditions, but skindness is out of love, and love is selfless."
"Your kindness tois love, right?"
"And II
love Grandpa too. My love for Grandpa is also selfless."
Over the years, the part of Bobby's words that she remembered most clearly was the first half because no one
had truly treated her well apart from Madison. She once thought Benson would be the one, but she was wrong.
That was why she didn't want to trust people so easily anymore.
