After dinner, Sienna felt tipsy, so she lay on the sofa to rest.Daniel gently carried her up from the sofa. After saying goodbye to the Morrisons, they left the villa.It was quite cool in the garden. The warm street lights illuminated the winding paths, making the night scene exceptionally beautiful. The woman in Daniel's arms was very well-behaved."It turns out you can't drink, so don't drink next time," Daniel murmured.Snuggling into his embrace, Sienna said with a soft and lazy voice, "I can drink. I'm not drunk. I'm just a little dizzy and I want to sleep."Daniel couldn't help but smile. He said indulgently, "Okay, you can drink.""Daniel," Sienna murmured. With her eyes closed, she asked with a hoarse voice, "Am I really that bad?""You're not bad at all.""I don't deserve you, right?"Daniel stopped in his tracks to look at her.In his arms, she murmured in her sleep; her tone was one of grievance. As if she was about to cry, she mumbled, "I don't deserve you, so w
Sienna opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a thin white shirt, and beneath it was a man's chest. She slowly raised her head to look at the man's sexy Adam's apple, then his well-defined jawline, and finally his handsome features.It was Daniel. How did she end up sleeping in the same bed as him? What happened last night?She couldn't remember a thing.Seeing that Daniel was still asleep, Sienna let out a breath, not daring to move. She carefully rested her face against his chest again. She just lay there quietly, feeling his warmth and his heartbeat in his embrace.The long-missed feeling made her nostalgic and reluctant to wake up. Her heart started pounding. Lying in his arms, Sienna didn't want to wake up.The man's breathing was even, showing no signs of waking up.Sienna adjusted her position to let her leg pressing on his waist slide down slowly. Accidentally, she touched a rock-hard part of his body, which scared her into stiffness. Her entire body tensed up, an
Camille respectfully replied, "Mr. Morrison, Madam Sienna went out.""Where did she go?""It seems she went to the garden to water the plants."Daniel strode out.Since Sienna didn't want to hire too many staff, they didn't hire any gardeners. However, someone still needed to do tasks like sweeping leaves, watering, pruning, and planting flowers.Under the sunlight, the greenery was lush. Holding a hose, Sienna stood among the flower beds.The water stream formed a clear, transparent rainbow, arching perfectly in mid-air and sprinkling down on the plants and trees.Watering the plants was a very healing and comforting activity.Daniel walked toward her.Sienna's heartbeat inexplicably quickened when she glanced at him, but she remained quiet and continued watering the plants."Do you like taking care of the garden yourself?" he asked softly.Sienna responded, "Yes.""It can be tiring.""It's not tiring and I like planting flowers. When I'm tired from writing, I come to the
Wendy was elegantly and fashionably dressed. Seeing Sienna wearing gloves and tending to the garden, she couldn't help but frown. She asked, "What are you doing? You can leave this work to the gardeners.""It's fine, I actually enjoy gardening," Sienna replied.Wendy didn't comment much on her hobby. She smiled warmly and said, "Sienna, tonight I'm taking you to an important banquet. It'll be perfect for you."Sienna quickly shook her head. She declined the offer, "It's okay, Wendy. I'm not suited for banquets. You can go, there's no need to bring me along.""You have to go. A director friend of mine is hosting it, so there will be a lot of celebrities, investors, producers, editors, and even some novelists. These connections will be valuable for you," Wendy said enthusiastically.She lowered her voice and continued, "Networking is crucial. Your books need to be published and adapted into films, right?"Sienna smiled resignedly. She replied, "Wendy, I really don't want to go."
Wendy casually picked out a dress and said, "This one looks great. Just wear this to the banquet tonight."Facing Wendy's enthusiasm, Sienna didn't know how to reject her offer.She walked toward Wendy and touched the dress. Feeling complicated emotions and touched, she replied, "Okay.""Then it's settled. I'll come get you in the evening."Sienna nodded.After putting the dress down, Wendy turned to look at the walk-in closet again. She expressed her feelings, "They're all siblings, but why isn't my husband as romantic and considerate as yours? I'm so jealous."Sienna pondered for a while before walking to the side. When she lightly touched the other clothes and looked at the handbags in the glass case, she felt like she was dreaming.In her life, she'd only seen these clothes, shoes, and bags in high-end stores.Wendy said happily, "I'll go prepare myself. I'll do some skincare, get a makeover, so I can look gorgeous at the banquet tonight."After Wendy left, Sienna was stil
Daniel gently touched Sienna's hand and said softly, "Chat with Ryan for a bit."Sienna nodded obediently.After that, Jurgen followed Daniel into the study.Sienna felt a bit nervous and awkward, so she tried to find something to say, "Would you like some fruit? I can serve you some."Ryan quickly responded, "It's fine, Sienna. I can just drink tea."He took a sip of the tea in front of him.Feeling awkward, she sat down and forced a smile because she didn't know what else to talk about.Ryan glanced at the door to the study, then he asked quietly, "Sienna, pardon my boldness, but do you know about Daniel's decision to resign?"Sienna was stunned. She shook her head.Feeling worried, she nervously asked, "He didn't tell me. He loves his job so much. Why would he resign?""He does love his job, but he loves you more. In order to marry you, he needs to quit his job," Ryan said with a sigh. He continued, "In reality, career and family matters can coexist, like in my case, I h
The case remained unsolved.Sienna let out a weary sigh, leaning back on the couch, her eyes downcast as she sank into deep thought."Sienna, perhaps it's time to consider letting Daniel take a proper vacation this month. He's been working tirelessly for the past year without a break."Sienna pressed her lips together and nodded. "Alright."Just then, Jurgen and Daniel emerged from the study."We have other matters to attend to, so we'll be heading out now," Jurgen said, bidding farewell.Sienna hurriedly stood up, accompanying Daniel as they politely saw their guests off.Outside, the vehicles slowly pulled away.Sienna stood by Daniel's side, her gaze resting on him with a hint of contemplation.Truly, the afflictions of the heart often demanded solace from within. Ryan's words served as the soothing salve that alleviated her emotional anguish.He had never uttered a disparaging word about Shelly and had borne the weight alone.As Daniel turned, he discovered Sienna gazing
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
