Mila asked, "Aren't you curious about how Daniel's been lately?""Wanda, I need to go. My mom's calling me. Let's talk later when I have time," Sienna said before ending the call.Mila frowned, her eyes welling up with tears. She slumped into Nathan's embrace, blurting out, "I'm devastated. Sienna's getting married. What about Daniel?""But didn't you say he's assertive? What's there to worry about? If he truly cares for Sienna, he could turn the situation in an hour, let alone a month," Nathan reassured her."Really?" Mila asked, blinking her eyes.Nathan gently stroked her hair and kissed her. "You've looked up to him since we were kids, and there's a good reason for that. Have faith in him, and let's see how things unfold.""Okay."…In the lobby of a nice hotel in Eastville, Sienna forced a smile as she came back to the table. "Sorry about that. I had to take a call."Sienna's mother, Shelly Cruz, kicked her sharply with her foot. Sienna winced and turned to Shelly.With
Eastville, known for its simplicity and natural beauty, was a thriving town nestled within a smaller city in Norvania.It was where Sienna grew up, and life there was quieter and more affordable compared to bustling cities like Phoenicia, making it a popular choice for retirees.Sienna's family resided in Eastville, and her mother, Shelly, owned a corner store in the local market.After Sienna's father passed away, Shelly took charge of the family business by herself, with Sienna helping out occasionally. Felix never helped out at all. Instead, he often took money from Shelly.Sienna prepared dinner, packed it into a thermos, and headed to the corner store to deliver it to Shelly. Upon entering, she noticed Shelly discreetly wiping away tears."Mom, what's the matter?" Sienna hurriedly placed the thermos down and approached the checkout counter. She crouched beside Shelly and gently took her arms. "Why are you crying?"Shelly swiftly brushed away her tears and forced a smile. "It
"Wow, Felix, your sister is stunning! Why haven't you introduced her to us before?""What's her name?""Hey, Felix's sister, join us for a drink."Everyone was teasing Sienna. Before she could react, a stern voice boomed from the entrance. "Police raid! Everyone, move to the hall! Quickly, it's a police raid!"Suddenly, all the music in the bar cut off, and everyone looked at each other in shock.Sienna had never been in a situation like this before. It was quite a coincidence that she happened to experience it today.Felix quickly ushered Sienna out of the room, asking, "Sienna, what are you doing here?""Where's the money?" Sienna demanded, reaching out to him."I'll need it to settle the bill later," Felix replied."This money is hard-earned by Mom. You're capable, so earn your own. If you can't make it, then learn to manage without spending. "You're 24 already and still depending on mom's money. Aren't you ashamed?" Sienna scolded as they walked.The pair entered the ha
The woman before Daniel was the most conservatively dressed in the bar.But her appearance didn't match with Sienna's personality. Both of them were completely different.He didn't suspect that she was Sienna."What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Daniel asked sternly.Sienna hesitated because she didn't have the courage to speak.Since it had been a long time since they met, she held out a glimmer of hope in her mind that perhaps Daniel had forgotten her, maybe even her voice.At that moment, Felix hurriedly explained, "Captain, my sister didn't bring her ID with her. She came to find me and coincidentally ran into your inspection."Daniel remained serious and aloof. He lowered his head and then pressed his fingers on the device. He said, "Report your ID number."Nudging Sienna, Felix said, "Say it, Sienna."Sienna nervously shook her head.Felix was at a loss too. He quickly explained, "My sister hasn't seen this kind of situation before, she must be frightened. I remem
In an instant, Sienna raised her gaze. She saw a hand pressed against the wall beside her face to block her path.Daniel's tall figure made her feel very pressured. She caught the familiar faint fragrance emanating from him.Sienna grew nervous and uneasy as she clenched her fists tightly. She warily stared into his deep eyes.Daniel's voice was extremely sexy as he murmured softly, "This is a real arrest scene. We're not filming a movie. You just barged in like this, aren't you afraid of death?"Sienna knew this was wrong because she might even cause trouble for the police. But she was just too worried about him.Daniel stared at her as he was waiting for her to speak.After waiting for a while, she still remained silent.Daniel intentionally raised his other hand. He frowned as he sucked in a breath, "Ah!""What happened to your hand?" Sienna blurted out anxiously without hesitation.Daniel harbored an imperceptible sense of warmth.Her voice was still so pleasant to listen
Sienna was rendered speechless for a while. She slowly lowered her head to look at Daniel's hand which was at her waist. She asked, "Captain, could you please remove your hand?"Daniel slightly smirked, but he didn't let go of her delicate waist. Instead, he held her tighter. Pretending to be nervous, he said, "Your driving skills aren't great. I'm afraid of falling, so let me hold on to you."Sienna took a deep breath to suppress the urge to speak.Her electric scooter was so small. But Daniel had such long legs. Honestly, if he stood up, the scooter could pass under his crotch. With such a height, could he even fall?When did Daniel become so delicate?Sienna had no choice but to start the scooter and slowly drive away.The hospital in the small town only had an emergency department at night. Sienna waited at the entrance of the emergency department.Just as she was about to go in to listen to the consultation, she was chased out by Daniel, who asked her to respect his privacy
It seemed like Sienna and Daniel just couldn't get along!"Get off the scooter!" Sienna yelled angrily.Daniel didn't move. Instead, he turned off the scooter and looked at her sideways. He said very gently, "Sienna, let's give it a try."Sienna muttered inwardly, "Try what? Sleeping together? This bastard!"Clenching her fists, Sienna hit him on the chest and tried to push him off the scooter. She angrily said, "Bastard, get off!"Sienna's punches caught Daniel off guard. Though it wasn't painful, he feared she would get hurt while trying to take the scooter back. So he stepped back and returned it to her.Looking at her charming and delicate appearance, and observing her irritable temperament, Daniel realized she was the Sienna he knew before.She looked as cute as a docile little lamb, which didn't quite match her personality.Sienna snatched the scooter back and rode away.Daniel sighed helplessly as he watched her retreating figure.Just as Sienna drove for a short while
"I'll go, I'll go too!"Me, me, me!"Daniel pointed at Finley Wood and then said, "Finley, you said you wanted to introduce your sister to me, you go with me."Finley felt very embarrassed.They walked out of the police station and got into the car.Finley asked curiously, "Captain Morrison, did you deliberately ask me to come because you really want to meet my sister?"Daniel smiled lightly. He sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt.Finley also happily fastened his seat belt.Daniel started the car and slowly drove away.As Daniel drove, he said calmly, "I'm not interested in your sister. I just want to take you to meet the woman I like, so that you can get rid of this idea."Finley smiled awkwardly before secretly sighing, looking out the window.Daniel rejected him without hesitation! He didn't leave any room for negotiation.… In the market street, Sienna leaned on the cash register in the corner store that was run by Shelly.She looked gloomy and listl
