Daniel responded with a bitter smile, his gaze dropping to his plate as he fell silent.Setting down her utensils, Sienna adopted a serious expression. "Daniel, if you're considering resigning because of me, please don't. It wouldn't bring me any joy, nor would I feel grateful. Frankly, it would only embarrass me.""Sisi, I don't want you to endure any more pain. I made a promise…" Daniel's voice trailed off suddenly.Sienna could feel his urge to defend Shelly's memory once again. He had quickly stopped himself from speaking any further.Feeling emotionally drained, she continued sadly, "Daniel, I don't want to be a burden on you. I don't want you to feel obligated to support me, nor do I want you to leave your job for my sake."I refuse to be a liability, and I certainly don't want to hinder your career. Can't you see where I'm coming from?"Despite recognizing her strong sense of pride, Daniel also understood her current feelings of insecurity.Sienna pressed on, "If you genu
"Why didn't you offer an explanation when you learned my mother was gone?" Sienna asked. "I didn't want to say anything negative about her," Daniel answered. Sienna's heart swelled with a jumble of emotions, tears blurring her vision.Her voice carried a hint of bitterness as she spoke, "So, just because you thought it was best for me and my family, I'm supposed to be grateful? Am I expected to overlook the pain you've caused, the wounds I've endured, the abandonment?""Sisi, I know it's my fault. I admit it," Daniel's tone dripped with remorse as he cautiously broached the next question, "But what about you? Have you ever truly loved me?"Confusion marred Sienna's features as she looked at him. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.Daniel's smile twisted with bitterness as he dredged up painful memories. Tears welled in his eyes as he uttered words that cut deep. "When I was infatuated with you, you treated me as though I were merely a patient in ne
Daniel held Sienna firmly from behind, his voice soft as he whispered into her ear, "You barely touched your food. Did I upset you?""I'm honestly just not hungry," she replied, feeling the warmth of his breath against her skin. Her cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she spoke with a hint of resignation."You should try to eat a bit more," Daniel insisted, guiding her back to the table and helping her into her seat.Once seated, he picked up a piece of steak and offered it to Sienna, his gaze both intense and serene as he observed her.Sienna felt bashful under his scrutiny but reluctantly picked up her utensils and began to eat.Following their meal, Daniel took her hand and led her outside for a stroll in the garden to aid digestion.In the evening, Sienna retreated to the study to work. She remained seated in front of the computer for four consecutive hours, only leaving the study after 11:00 pm.Standing before the doors to the master bedroom and the guest bedroom, Sienna
When a man says "I love you" in the middle of the night, was it a sincere confession, or was he just after her body?Sienna was in a state of heightened tension. If he tried to kiss her or take off her clothes, she would tell him she wasn't feeling well and that she was still sore down there."Next time," she blurted out. The response was sudden and baffling.Sienna felt utterly awkward afterward.Daniel was momentarily stunned before letting out a chuckle. He kissed her forehead and murmured softly, "Next time for what? Let me love you for the next time?"Sienna felt embarrassed and speechless. She couldn't help but want to laugh. She buried herself in his embrace, with her hand slowly reaching up to his solid chest.She said, "I feel like sleeping."After kissing her forehead, Daniel said, "Goodnight.""Goodnight," Sienna replied before closing her eyes.That night was tender and peaceful. The thing Sienna feared didn't happen.From that day on, Daniel was always with her
"Divorce her. I'll find a wife for Daniel," Lindsey said with her hands on her hips, fuming. "I can pick a young lady from a well-matched family. She'll be better than Sienna in terms of education, upbringing, and family background."As Florence noticed Sienna's pale face, she became anxious. Looking around, she asked, "Where's Daniel? Where did he go?"Florence had never been able to handle Lindsey, so she couldn't help Sienna much.At that moment, they heard the sound of footsteps coming from upstairs."Dan is coming down…" Cheryl said with agitation.Everyone looked toward the staircase.Daniel was wearing his shirt as he rushed down. He had just finished exercising and was covered in sweat. He was in the middle of a shower when he heard Lindsey's muffled voice.Sensing something was wrong, he quickly rinsed off the soap and rushed down.He had heard everything that was said.Seeing Daniel, Lindsey became even more aggressive. "You foolish boy, you came just in time. Tell m
"Wendy, aren't you going to do something about your son?" Lindsey asked as she wiped her tears. She looked at Florence with a wronged expression.Florence swallowed nervously, feeling a bit panicked.Honestly, this was the first time she had seen Daniel so fierce and ruthless. She was a bit scared by his demeanor.Luckily, she really liked Sienna. Otherwise, she might have ended up in the same boat as Lindsey.The thought made her break into a sweat.Florence quickly said, "Daniel is right. You should apologize to Sienna. She's very kind, so she won't hold a grudge. If you don't apologize, then just go home and don't come here again."Lindsey gritted her teeth and glared at Sienna. Her pride was being trampled on. Apologize to this country bumpkin? No way."Hell no," she sneered."Are you going to leave on your own, or do I have to throw you out?" Daniel asked coldly."Why you—" Lindsey clenched her fists. She was furious. Her eyes were reddened and full of tears.Seeing Li
The steamy mist from the hot water filled the entire bathroom.Sienna stood under the showerhead, letting the hot water wash over her body.She thought of Daniel's handsome face, his strong physique, and the words he had said.She had thought after a man finished himself once, it would take a long time for him to recover. She hadn't realized that because of her, he had been holding back all this time.After her shower, Sienna walked out of the room wearing a mini nightgown.Daniel was leaning against the headboard, looking at his phone.Sienna slowly walked toward him.The moment he raised his head, he was stunned. Then, he slowly put down his phone.His gaze grew more intense as he looked at her flushed face. He could see that she was a bit shy when he looked into her clear and pretty eyes.Her figure was absolutely perfect. She had curves in all the right places, with delicate long legs that were extremely enticing.He breathed heavily, feeling restless and parched. He swal
On that passionate night, their bodies were glued to each other as he made love to her all night.Their kisses were unstoppable. His chest was warm, and he had a lot of stamina.Sienna felt herself becoming weak from the pleasure. She allowed him to release all his desires. That night, he used two condoms in three hours. After that, he decided to stop because he didn't want to make her tired.Daniel held her as they soaked in a hot bath. He then contentedly embraced her soft and fragrant body before falling asleep."I love you so much, Sisi." Sienna heard Daniel whispering softly in her ear when she was half-asleep.He kissed her forehead, holding her tightly as they slept.Sienna could feel that Daniel loved her so much.After marriage, they weren't just getting by as he had joked during his proposal.During their honeymoon, Daniel was really clingy. He cared about her and was intuitive about her preferences. Not only was he very considerate, but he was also thoughtful.H
