Sienna smiled and nodded at Florence. After the family doctor checked Sienna and confirmed she was fine, he left.Although Daniel was away that day, Florence's visit sparked a series of visits from Sienna's sisters-in-law, each arriving one after another with gifts in hand. They congratulated Sienna and exchanged pregnancy tips, advising Sienna on what to watch out for.Each of them was already a mother, and their combined knowledge of child-rearing was as extensive as any obstetrician's, turning them into walking encyclopedias.…As night fell, Sienna found herself wide awake in bed. She had napped earlier in the day. She lay there, staring out at the night sky from her balcony, her thoughts drifting to Daniel.Anxiety gnawed at her. She couldn't shake the fear that Daniel might not be happy about the baby. Restlessly, she reached for her phone and opened WhatsApp, about to send Daniel a message.Yet, she hesitated, reasoning that he was too swamped with work to come home, let a
Sienna had always been unlucky, and she couldn't help but wonder what misfortunes the future might still hold for her. That night, she tossed and turned, struggling to find sleep.When she awoke the next morning, she felt utterly drained. After a few rough minutes of vomiting in the bathroom, Sienna went downstairs. She managed only a light breakfast before heading to the study to work.Halfway through her work, Sienna found herself unable to ignore the nagging discomfort within her. She slumped over the desk and stared blankly out the window, her mind drifting away. As her eyelids grew heavy, sleep slowly overtook her.…In Sienna's dream, a refreshing and familiar fragrance wafted toward her. Shortly after, she felt a warm, moist touch on her lips. Groggily, she opened her eyes and was startled to find a face mere inches from her.It was Daniel! He had returned and was softly kissing her as she slept.Sienna instinctively tried to pull away, but Daniel quickly cradled the back
Driven by curiosity, Daniel pulled out his phone, launched WhatsApp, and opened the group chat to read the latest messages. His expression darkened and he left the group chat without a word. He then took Sienna's phone, unlocked it with her fingerprint, and removed her from the chat as well.Sienna was startled. "Honey, Lindsey will be upset if you do that."With a dismissive scoff, Daniel patted her head reassuringly and dialed Lindsey's number.Sienna watched him, her anxiety apparent as she awaited the conversation that would follow.Lindsey answered the phone with a bright tone. "Daniel, it's been too long since we last talked. What's up?"Daniel's reply was frosty and firm. "Aunt Lindsey, let me make this clear. You remain part of this family if you treat my wife with respect. Otherwise, consider us strangers.""What do you mean? Daniel—"Daniel cut her off and warned, "Also, whether our child is a boy or a girl, our family will cherish them equally. You're just an outsid
Sienna smiled and raised an eyebrow at Daniel.He returned her gaze calmly without saying a word. His eyes silently suggested that forgiving Linsey was her choice to make.After some thought, Sienna said, "Lindsey, I'm not upset with you.""But your husband is. He just called to scold me, and then he blocked my number," Lindsey explained.Suppressing a laugh, Sienna simply replied, "Oh.""I'm sorry to both of you. Could you ask him to unblock me? I've always treated him and his brothers as if they were my own children. How can he just sever our ties like this?""I'll talk to him, Lindsey. He's overreacting. How can he be so upset with his aunt?"Lindsey smiled. "Exactly. You are the one who always sees things rationally.""We'll speak later, Lindsey. I'll ask Daniel to unblock you.""Okay. Do take care of yourself, especially now in the early stages of your pregnancy," Lindsey advised.Sienna felt surprisingly pleased by Lindsey's sudden concern. She turned to Daniel in disbe
Daniel asked, "What if you change your mind?" Sienna replied without hesitation, "I won't change my mind." Daniel smiled lightly as he asked, "How can you guarantee the future?" "Honey, you're being so realistic," Sienna said helplessly. Holding her hand, Daniel walked around the villa, expressing his genuine concerns. "Darling, I love you very much. If I could live to be a hundred years old, I'd love you until then. "But if I can't, I'm worried that my parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law will divide my wealth. You won't get much, and there's no guarantee for your future." It turned out that this was his unassured worry. He was not afraid of Sienna changing her mind. Sienna looked at him, unable to hold back her tears. …A week later, on a dark and windy night in a remote corner of the island, a speedboat slowly approached. A bright light illuminated the entire cabin. A man stood on the gangplank, holding a rifle in his hand. After the speedboat docked, the man wai
In the third trimester of Sienna's pregnancy, Daniel took care of everything for her, from washing her hair to helping her bathe. She didn't need to lift a finger. She had always loved Daniel deeply, but now she felt that he was her entire world. She couldn't imagine living without him. Their baby was a little angel too. Despite the heaviness of her belly, Sienna felt no discomfort and was incredibly at ease in her late pregnancy. Even the due date was perfectly on time. Daniel had packed the hospital bag, and as he turned around, he saw Sienna coming out of the bathroom. She said, "Honey, I think my water just broke." "What does that mean?" Daniel asked curiously. Sienna, looking slightly nervous, replied, "It means our baby might be born today." Excitement flooded Daniel. He quickly grabbed a coat and helped Sienna put it on. "Are you in pain?" he asked. "No," Sienna replied. "Our little one must not want to trouble Mommy too much," Daniel said. Sienna nodded with a s
Sienna gave birth to a healthy baby girl without any complications. The entire Morrison family was overjoyed, but no one was more excited than Daniel. Seeing Sienna and their baby exit the delivery room safely, tears of joy filled his eyes as he tightly embraced Sienna, unwilling to let go.The next day, the VIP ward was bustling with visitors. There was a dedicated maternity nurse for Sienna and a caregiver for the newborn. The entire Morrison family had gathered. Thankfully, the ward was spacious enough to accommodate everyone in the family. Around the crib, six men stood in a tight circle, forming an impenetrable wall. These men were Gary and his five sons. Even Mila and Nathan had rushed back from the frontier. The newborn baby girl, just a day old, was fair-skinned, adorable, and irresistibly cute. Her cuteness, even while sleeping with her eyes closed, could melt anyone's heart. The six men surrounding her couldn't take their eyes off her, each completely enamored. Eve
"Jasper will start kindergarten after the New Year holidays. He'll stay here, and we'll need your help to take care of him while we're at the frontier," Mila explained. Florence nodded quickly. "Don't worry. I'll take good care of him." As a new mother, Sienna felt a pang of sympathy at the thought of a child being separated from his parents. "Chubs, are you sure you don't want to keep Jasper with you? It's so heartbreaking for a child to be away from his parents for so long." Mila sighed, resigned, "Some children are destined to bear their unique burdens from birth. I'm a scientist, and Nate is a general in national defense. Jasper's life is different from others." Sienna nodded, lips pressed together. Mila reassured her. "We'll visit him during our breaks, and he can come to the frontier during his holidays. The actual time apart won't be as much as it seems. It's going to be alright." Wendy chimed in, "It's good for him to stay here. There are plenty of children around,
