Chapter 754
Sienna’s presence transformed the living room into a warm, vibrant space. Daniel’s recent somber mood dissipated instantly and was replaced by a rush of emotion.
With measured steps, he approached Sienna and sank to one knee before her. His reddened eyes bore into her with an intense desire. He couldn’t hide his longing and affection.
Sienna lay curled on her side. Her soft, silky hair cascaded over her delicate features. Her enchanting appearance ignited an overwhelming urge in Daniel to caress her and, most of all, to kiss her.
He delicately brushed Sienna’s stray hairs aside and tucked them behind her ear. His face inched closer to hers, eager to feel her lips against his.
His eyes narrowed, his breath quickening, and his heart pounding faster with each passing moment. Yet, just as he was on the brink of kissing Sienna, he abruptly stopped.
Clenching his fist tightly, Daniel fought against the overwhelming desire and resisted the temptation to kiss her.
His heart shattered into pieces. The pain was so severe that each breath felt like sharp blades piercing him. He fought to manage his feelings with all his might and gradually distanced himself from Sienna.
Daniel got up and headed toward the room. He picked up some documents inside.
The sound of the door closing stirred Sienna from her sleep on the couch. Rubbing her tired eyes, she sat up. When she spotted Daniel, she stood up nervously and asked softly, “Daniel, you’re back?”
Daniel flashed her a warm smile, though his tone sounded somewhat distant. “Yeah, I just popped in to grab some documents. What brings you here?”
“I…” Sienna nervously tugged at her clothes. She felt a flutter of excitement, her sincerity shining through with a hint of shyness. “I… We haven’t seen each other in days. I missed you, so I came to see you.”
Daniel’s eyes glistened with emotion. He lowered his head, taking a moment to compose himself before clearing his throat and meeting her gaze again.
“Sisi, I apologize for being so busy lately. I haven’t had the chance to come see you.”
“It’s okay,” Sienna quickly reassured him. “You focus on your work. I just wanted to see you. I won’t distract you.”
“Alright, suit yourself. I’m off to the police station,” Daniel replied. He walked past her with the documents in hand.
“Okay,” Sienna responded meekly as she watched him leave.
Daniel didn’t exchange any additional pleasantries, nor did he ask if she had eaten lunch.
Sienna’s nose stung, and a heavy weight settled in her chest. An inexplicable sense of disappointment washed over her.
Why was Daniel acting differently? Was he just too busy?
She couldn’t shake the feeling that something had changed in him.
Daniel seemed distant and uninterested in her. There were no more hugs, no signs of affection, not even a kiss. He didn’t even seem interested in chatting with her before heading out.
Feeling drained and exhausted, Sienna slumped onto the couch with a heavy sigh. Knowing the demands of Daniel’s job, she tried to understand and empathize with him.
For lunch, she settled for a simple salad. She spent the day working at Daniel’s house from noon until evening, then took the initiative to cook dinner for him.
She sent Daniel a message. “Daniel, do you want to come home and have dinner? I’ve cooked something for you.”
However, he never responded.
Sienna sat alone at the dining table, waiting patiently from evening until night. The living room lights stayed on as darkness descended outside.
She remained seated at the dining table, folding her hands under her chin as she turned toward the door. She patiently awaited Daniel’s return.
The food she had prepared grew cold on the table. Her stomach rumbled with hunger.
