Chapter 665
Mila asked, “Aren’t you curious about how Daniel’s been lately?”
“Wanda, I need to go. My mom’s calling me. Let’s talk later when I have time,” Sienna said before ending the call.
Mila frowned, her eyes welling up with tears. She slumped into Nathan’s embrace, blurting out, “I’m devastated. Sienna’s getting married. What about Daniel?”
“But didn’t you say he’s assertive? What’s there to worry about? If he truly cares for Sienna, he could turn the situation in an hour, let alone a month,” Nathan reassured her. “Really?” Mila asked, blinking her eyes.
Nathan gently stroked her hair and kissed her. “You’ve looked up to him since we were kids, and there’s a good reason for that. Have faith in him, and let’s see how things unfold.” “Okay.”
In the lobby of a nice hotel in Eastville, Sienna forced a smile as she came back to the table. “Sorry about that. I had to take a call.”
Sienna’s mother, Shelly Cruz, kicked her sharply with her foot. Sienna winced and turned to Shelly.
With a friendly smile, Shelly apologized to the Lintons, who were sitting across from her. “I apologize for the interruption. Sienna’s usually quite sensible. That call she just took must have been from her boss, so she had to answer.”
Sienna’s blind date, Francis Linton, showed up with his mother, Karen Mackenzie.
Karen responded, “Don’t worry about it. Let’s get back to talking about what to get for the wedding. Mrs. Lawson, you mentioned wanting a gift worth 500 thousand, right?”
Shelly nodded with a grin, then hesitantly added, “Just so you’re aware, Sienna hasn’t been in a relationship before. She’s hardworking, great at homemaking, and cooks amazing meals. She’ll be a fantastic wife.”
Karen nodded approvingly with a
smile. “Sure, 500 thousand is doable.
If Sienna delivers a son for the
Lintons, we’ll sweeten the deal with another 500 thousand. And if she blesses us with two boys, that’s a total of gifts worth one million.”
Shelly’s eyes widened in shock. She beamed, excitement evident in her sparkling eyes. “Absolutely! Sienna’s incredibly fertile and in excellent health Even fortune tellers predict she have a big, bustling family in the future.”
Sienna felt suffocated. She couldn’t shake the feeling that she was being treated like a mere baby-making machine, discussed solely in terms of productivity, and then sold off for a hefty sum right in front of these two women.
Francis, seated across from her, remained silent and unresponsive.
In that instant, Sienna’s phone lit up with a flurry of notifications, buzzing incessantly. The sudden noise drew everyone’s gaze toward her.
With a sheepish grin, Sienna uttered, “Oops, excuse me while I check this.”
After tapping into the messages, her expression quickly shifted from curiosity to dismay. A series of photos flooded her screen, all sent from an unfamiliar sender, numbering more than a dozen.
As she scrolled through them, her complexion paled. Her hands trembled as she shot a furious glare across the table at Francis.
Clearly displeased, Shelly grabbed Sienna’s phone to inspect the contents. “What’s going on? You seem really upset=”
Her words trailed off abruptly. Shock etched across her face, her hands trembling as she struggled to speak, “W-What is this? H-How could your son be in bed with another man? Could he… could he be gay?” The Lintons’ expressions shifted immediately. Before Sienna could react, Francis grabbed her phone. When he saw the pictures, he flew into a rage and forcefully smashed the phone.
The loud crash startled everyone. Sienna stared at Francis in disbelief.
It looked like the wedding was off, which was actually a relief, and she’d get a new phone out of it. It was a win-win situation and nothing to get worked up about.
Sienna paused for a moment, then flashed a bright smile at the Lintons. She stayed calm as she watched Shelly and Karen argue.
Meanwhile, she began thinking about which phone model would be the best replacement for the broken one.
