Chapter 570
While Mila and Sienna were regretful, Daniel said, “Listen to your mother.”
Mila and Sienna turned to him, feeling surprised and confused.
Daniel slowly clenched his fists, his chest rising and falling with emotion, and his face growing serious. “Don’t get married too early.”
With an awkward smile, Sienna replied, “Daniel, I’m already 26. It’s not exactly early.”
“Guys are unreliable.”
Taken aback, Sienna asked, “Then, who should I rely on?”
“You should rely on yourself.”
Mila and Sienna both agreed with Daniel’s words, believing he was being genuine. Little did they realize, he was setting the stage for what he was about to say.
Daniel cleared his throat and continued, “Sienna, return to work. I’ll give you a raise.”
Mila couldn’t help but smile.
Sienna gaped at Daniel in disbelief. She was too stunned to respond immediately. Tens of thousands a month, just to care for an ordinary blind person? Sienna felt undeserving of such a generous salary. When Daniel didn’t get a reply, he seemed a bit worried as he questioned, “How much is your mom expecting for wedding presents?”
Sienna was once more taken aback. Confused, she glanced at Mila for help. She wondered what Daniel was getting at by asking her to return to work with a higher salary and bringing up wedding gifts. Mila shrugged, showing she was clueless, too. She signaled for Sienna to ask Daniel directly.
Sienna frowned and shook her head, implying she was too afraid to do so.
With no reply for what felt like an eternity, Daniel’s breathing grew heavier, and his tone turned grave. “Sienna, what’s the expected price range for wedding gifts to marry you?”
Taken aback, Sienna blurted out, “At least 300 thousand. My mom said 300 thousand.”
“I’ll provide those wedding gifts to your mother Don’t go through with the wedding. Return to work. I’ll increase your monthly salary by 50 thousand. On top of that, I’ll cover all your expenses.” Daniel stressed each word.
Sienna stared at Daniel in silence, feeling disoriented as if she were in a surreal state. Could such an incredible job exist in this world?
If Sienna didn’t know Daniel, she’d
probably assume he was a
scammer. Yet, Daniel wasn’t a scammer. Why would he willingly invest such a large sum to bring her back to work?
Most other maids only made a few thousand dollars. Besides, only their basic needs like food, lodging, and insurance were covered.
So, what was Daniel’s motive for wanting her to return? What was he plotting?
Mila happily patted Sienna’s hand. “Sienna, you should really consider this job offer. It pays well and opportunities like this don’t come often.”
With a strained smile, Sienna said, “Mila, could you step outside for a moment? I need to talk to Daniel alone.”
Mila quickly agreed with a nod. She got up and left, closing the door behind her. She felt a rush of excitement as she imagined becoming sisters-in-law with Sienna.
Back in the living room, silence hung heavy.
“Is there something you wanted to talk to me about privately?” Daniel asked softly.
Sienna took a deep breath to calm her nerves before asking, “Daniel, are you offering to support me financially in exchange for companionship?”
Daniel froze. His expression
remained stoic, but internally, hisz thoughts raced. He hadn’t meant to suggest anything beyond providing her a well-paying job to ensure she stayed with him.
However, Sienna’s question triggered an unexpected consideration.
A forbidden thought surfaced within Daniel. Did offering financial support imply something more, something intimate?
It was a notion he hadn’t dared to entertain, but now, it lingered in his mind, stirring desires he hadn’t acknowledged before.
