As Daniel mentioned his colleague, Sienna's mind drifted to his career. Her smile gradually faded, replaced by an inexplicable sense of unease.The thought of Daniel considering leaving his job to ensure her security and comfort stirred up a wave of sadness within Sienna.She realized she needed to find the right moment to broach the subject of his possible resignation."What's wrong?" Daniel asked, noticing the shift in Sienna's mood. "It's nothing," Sienna replied, shaking her head. She forced a smile before changing the subject. "So, what are your plans for later?"Embracing Sienna, Daniel pulled her close to his chest. "Nothing in particular. I just want to be near you."As her curvy and delicate body nestled comfortably against his sturdy torso, her cheeks flushed.With a touch of nervousness, Sienna playfully quipped, "We can't spend the whole day like this, just staring into each other's eyes, can we?"Daniel's grin widened. "Well, it's not entirely off the table."Sie

Sienna remembered how Daniel had delicately wiped her body clean with a warm towel.As she drifted toward sleep, she felt a warm chest against her back. An arm was wrapped around her, enveloping her in an embrace.A soft breath brushed against her ear as Daniel murmured, "Sisi, we should go to the hospital. You seem to be injured."Barely awake, Sienna offered no response, simply shaking her head in refusal.A wave of concern washed over Daniel as he struggled to understand how Sienna ended up injured despite his efforts to be gentle and restrained.Having taken a forensic pathology course at university, he had some understanding of assessing the severity of injuries based on bleeding.It appeared that Sienna may have sustained a minor tear."Sisi…" Daniel whispered, his heart heavy with both tenderness and guilt. He pressed a kiss onto Sienna's shoulder, drawing her closer."I just want to rest," Sienna murmured, feeling a quiet strength within herself despite her emotional tu

"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

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

"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
