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
Daniel's kisses were unlike any Sienna had experienced before—deep, consuming, almost devouring, with a sense of plunder.She couldn't help but sense his desire, feeling his tense body tremble ever so slightly.No matter how insecure or scared she felt, Sienna couldn't change the fact that she was Daniel Morrison's wife.This was an inevitable path she had to tread.Daniel's kisses were no longer satisfied with just Sienna's lips. They traveled to her neck, ran across her shoulder, and then gently brushed her earlobe.His voice, rough and intimate, whispered, "Don't be afraid, Sisi."Sienna's breathing grew erratic, her nervous hands clutching the bedsheets.The sound from the movie abruptly faded into silence, and the projection screen dimmed, plunging the room into darkness.A faint glow filtered through the curtains, casting a murky, shadowy atmosphere over the space.Despite the darkness, Daniel's kisses persisted. Slowly and tentatively, he began to remove her clothes. In
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
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
