Chapter 567

“Can you share your plan with me?” Mila asked.
“Of course, but you’ll have to wait until I return home to discuss it. It’s not convenient to talk about it right now,” Nathan replied.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Mila said before hanging up the phone. Her heart grew heavier.
Nathan had made a huge sacrifice to rescue Zach and Mila’s parents. If he failed, he stood to lose 28 billion dollars. Even if he succeeded, that money would be in Zach’s possession. Nathan wouldn’t dare to pressure Zach to return it, even though it rightfully belonged to him.
With her phone in hand, Mila exited the study. When she entered the living room, Edgar appeared, announcing, “Mrs. Morrison, Ms. Lawson is here to see you.”
Looking up, Mila spotted Sienna behind Edgar. Mila’s eyes brimmed with tears of excitement. She hurried over. “Sienna.”
Beaming, Sienna opened her arms and enveloped Mila in a warm embrace. “Wanda, it’s been so long.”
“What brings you here?” Mila asked. Her eyes were teary and her voice quivered slightly with joy.
Sienna gently drew back from the embrace and studied Mila with a fond gaze. “You’ve had a baby. Of course, I had to come and visit you.”
She gestured toward the gift Edgar was holding. “I didn’t have much money, so I brought some chicken, eggs, and basic supplements. I hope you don’t mind.”
Mila glanced at her and muttered, “What are you saying? Why would I mind? These are great gifts. You can’t even buy them with money around here.” Sienna laughed happily before saying, “You just had a baby, and you’ve already regained your figure so well. Did you go on a diet?”
“I didn’t gain any extra weight during my pregnancy. I’ve actually been losing weight.”
Taking Mila’s hand, Sienna teased, “Wow, you should have a few more babies in the future.”
Mila shook her head. “No, I’m done.”
Holding Sienna’s hand, Mila led her outside.
Sienna was surprised. She halted abruptly. “I’ve barely set foot inside, and I haven’t even had a sip of water, and you’re sending me off already?”
Mila grinned playfully and hooked her arms. “I just want to take you to Daniel’s Maple Abode for a visit. You can have all the drinks you want once we’re there.” Sienna nervously pushed back from Mila. She managed a forced smile as she shook her head. “No, thanks. It would be awkward to see him now.”
“Why?” Mila linked her arm with Sienna’s as they stepped outside. “You might not have noticed, but Daniel has been asking about you a lot since you left.
“I thought about giving him your contact details, but he refused. Yet, he keeps asking about you. He used to be lively when you were around, but now he’s become quiet and gloomy.” “Is he having suicidal thoughts again?” Sienna nervously questioned.
“No, not exactly. He’s just avoiding people, spending most of his time alone in Maple Abode and hardly ever coming out.”
As they strolled along the garden path, Sienna asked with curiosity, “Didn’t he apply for a guide dog?”
Mila smiled helplessly. “He never
actually applied for a guide dog. Florence took the initiative to
up for him, but he returned it after
just one day, saying he dit at it
need
it.”
Sienna’s mood sank, her expression clouding over as she sighed heavily.
“Sienna, how did your blind date go?” Mila asked.
At the mention of the blind date, Sienna’s demeanor shifted to anger. “Mila, you have no idea what it’s like to go on a blind date in a small town. Guys nowadays can be so repulsive!”
From Sienna’s reaction, it was apparent that the date didn’t go well. Mila couldn’t help but feel a flicker of hope for Daniel. She said, “Tell me more.”
When Sienna recalled the strange
encounter, she took a deep breath to compose herself before speaking, “The guy my mom introduced me fo owns a small factory. At first glance, he seemed okay. He has a car, a house, and a business. But he told me he’s only interested if I’m a virgin.”
Mila was taken aback. “But you’ve never been in a relationship, right? You should be a virgin.”
“Of course, I am, but he’s not! He’s had many girlfriends before, and as soon as he finds out they’re not virgins, he dumps them. It’s his strict requirement.”
“His fixation on virginity is truly
twisted.” Mila patted Sienna’s hand
and encouraged her, “You’re
wonderful. Let’s ignore weirdos like him, even if they meet our criteria. Who knows what other
psychological issues he might have.”
