The night was silent, and the maple forest outside was cloaked in darkness, with only a few scattered streetlights casting a faint glow on a corner of the garden.Sienna had gone to bed early in the evening but woke up at midnight, her stomach growling with hunger because she had skipped dinner.Stepping out of her room, Sienna found the living room brightly lit.Daniel was lounging on the couch in casual home attire, one arm resting on the back and the other holding his phone. Hearing her, he looked up.Their eyes met, and Sienna froze, her heart inexplicably tightening. Flustered, she asked, "You… haven't slept yet?"Daniel smiled warmly. "No, I haven't."He couldn't stop thinking about her. Though they were only separated by a wall and had seen each other just that morning, by nightfall, he found himself yearning to see her again.He waited quietly in the living room, not wanting to disturb her by knocking on her door.Sienna nodded and walked toward the kitchen.Daniel's g
When Sienna was dating Daniel, she never dared to imagine she could one day marry into a wealthy family.Now, with his sudden proposal, she impulsively agreed in the heat of the moment.The abrupt change left her feeling unprepared.Reflecting on it calmly, she realized she had acted too hastily.At that moment, Daniel walked over with a plate of mac and cheese topped with sausage and celery and a bowl of salad. He placed it in front of Sienna before sitting beside her."Try it and see if it's to your taste," he said.Sienna felt a warmth in her heart as she looked down at the dish. It looked delicious.Using the fork, she lightly ate some mac and cheese. It tasted just like home. Sienna smiled at him and said, "It's very good, thank you."Gazing at her tenderly, Daniel smiled back at her as he was very content.She began to eat quietly because she was really hungry.After a few bites, she held the bowl and ate the salad. She caught a glimpse of Daniel's gaze. It was tender
Daniel's reaction made Sienna feel a bit embarrassed. She shyly explained, "I'm sorry, I don't have many clothes. This dress is the most formal one I have. I hope you don't mind."Daniel smiled gently. He complimented her, "You're very gorgeous today."It was the first time Sienna had worn makeup in front of him. Back then, she also rarely wore dresses for him.She truly looked stunning.Daniel extended his hand to her.Sienna looked at his hand. After hesitating for a few seconds, she reached for it. The moment he held her hand, he felt very excited. Holding the hand of his love, he walked with her toward a future filled with happiness.Because they had missed their appointment, they had to rejoin the queue.Like other couples, they filled out the paperwork and waited in the hall to be called.Daniel looked at the numbers ahead of them and then glanced down at the number in his hand. His palms were sweaty from nerves, but he rubbed them in his thighs.A young man sitting ne
Daniel hummed in response. "I need to go to the office. Harvey has something urgent for me," Sienna said."Today…" Daniel started to speak but then paused.It was such an important day. He had dressed up and planned everything perfectly to celebrate with her.He had booked a table at a high-end restaurant for lunch, followed by a private yacht trip where they could enjoy the beautiful seascape. In the evening, they would have dinner on the yacht while enjoying the night scenery. After that, he had arranged a stay at a five-star hotel's penthouse suite."Is it really urgent?" Daniel asked as he was in a real dilemma.Sienna was unaware of his plans, so she nodded. She said, "Yes, it's quite urgent. I've received a lot of messages about it. It's probably related to the plagiarism lawsuit.""Doesn't he know you're getting married today?""I didn't tell him."Daniel was disappointed again. He exhaled softly, then took out his car keys. He said, "I'll drive you."Sienna nodded
Upon hearing Daniel's words, Sienna felt relieved.Harvey discussed with her the next steps to resolve the issue and how to handle the lawsuit.Daniel stepped out of the office and made a phone call.After a while, he returned and quietly sat on the side. He was just sitting there to watch Sienna and Harvey discussing work.As they talked, Harvey glanced at the trending search on the internet. He was astonished."It's gone?" he exclaimed. Sienna was puzzled. She asked, "What's gone?"Harvey felt like magic had happened in that short time. The internet was clean, with no trace of the trending search of the rumors of her plagiarism.Sienna hurriedly checked her phone. She was shocked when she found out there was no evidence online. She looked up in amazement at Daniel.Pursing his lips, Daniel smiled at her.The abilities of the wealthy and powerful were beyond imagination.Sienna guessed it was Daniel's doing, but he didn't say a word.After finishing work, Sienna left the
Sienna was stunned.Daniel lifted his hand and showed her the ring on his finger. He said, "This is our wedding ring. Please don't take it off easily."Sienna gently replied, "Okay."Gazing at her lovely face, Daniel couldn't help but kiss her forehead.Sienna was taken aback. She stared at him."It's almost noon, do you want to get up for lunch?" Daniel asked gently.Sienna blushed slightly, and her cheeks felt a bit hot. It was embarrassing to sleep until noon."Don't you have to go to work?" Sienna asked curiously.Daniel shook his head. He replied, "I don't have to work for the next month."Daniel's higher-ups disagreed with his resignation and were finding excuses to delay accepting his resignation report.After finding out he was married, they suggested he take marital leave before going back to discuss his resignation."Oh…" Sienna responded softly. She slowly sat up in bed, then tugged her nightgown under the blanket.Daniel also sat up. He wrapped his arms around h
Gloria turned and went back into the kitchen.Sienna glanced toward the balcony where Daniel was. She couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand, watching him quietly. Emotions began to slowly fill up her heart as she watched him.Daniel went to sit down at the dining table after finishing his call.After serving Sienna the soup, Daniel said, "Don't blame Gloria. I'm the one who insisted she make more than just one meat and one vegetable dish for you each meal.""I didn't blame her," Sienna responded as she lowered her gaze. She accepted the soup he offered and said, "Thanks."Sienna had always been the one who took care of others, including herself. It felt a bit unreal when she was suddenly being looked after by a man like this. His action was touching, and she didn't know how to express it.After serving himself some soup, he ate gratefully. He softly asked, "Do you have any plans this afternoon?""Nope.""Then spend the time with me."Sienna was taken aback.Daniel smi
Sienna couldn't refuse any further.These were the most valuable gifts she had ever received in her life, which were a set of rubies, a set of emeralds, two sets of diamonds, and two sets of gold jewelry.Soon after, her sisters-in-law also presented gifts on behalf of their families. All of them were valuable jewelry that retained their worth.As Wendy said, "We can skip the wedding, but not the gifts."During this visit, Sienna received gifts worth millions, keeping her in a state of high tension.She leaned against Daniel and asked quietly, "Do we need to give them gifts?"Daniel smiled. He whispered in her ear, "We don't need to. You can just accept the gifts without feeling pressured. Just consider it as collecting back all the wedding gifts I've given before."Sienna finally understood. She curiously asked, "When Wanda comes back, will she give us a gift too?""When they got married, I also gave them a gift. It's a courtesy."Looking at the pile of expensive gifts in fro
