Chapter 763
Sienna quickly shook her head. “I-”
Before she could finish, Florence interrupted, “Yeah, that’s right, stay with us. It’s convenient, free, and safe. It’s too dangerous for a young woman to stay in a hotel alone!”
“Thank you, Madam Florence, but I’ll be fine at the hotel,” Sienna replied. She felt a bit panicked inside.
It had been a year since she had last seen Daniel. She didn’t even know if he was married now. Maybe no one here knew she used to be his girlfriend. Staying here would be so awkward.
“Sienna, please stay here,” Mila pleaded, hugging Sienna’s arm. “I’m busy planning the wedding, and there’s so much to do. If you’re here, you can give me some suggestions, and I won’t feel overwhelmed.”
“Wanda, I’ve never been married, so I don’t know much about these things.” Sienna felt lost and anxious as she tried to decline their kindness. Their enthusiasm overwhelmed her.
Florence stood up and called to the maid behind her, “Prepare a room for Ms. Lawson.”
“Yes, madam,” the maid replied and headed upstairs.
Visibly panicked, Sienna quickly stood up. “It’s truly fine. I’ll stay at the hotel-”
“Stay at the hotel? Absolutely not! You’ll stay with us,” Mila insisted, taking Sienna by the hand and leading her upstairs. “Come on. Let me show you my wedding dress and gown.” Feeling completely helpless, Sienna turned to Florence and Gary and nodded at them. “Madam Florence, Mr. Morrison, I’ll go upstairs with Wanda.”
“Go ahead,” Florence replied with a big smile.
Mila led Sienna into a room and pulled a wedding dress and an evening gown from the walk-in closet. The stunning wedding dress caught Sienna’s eye, leaving her in awe.
“It’s so beautiful,” Sienna exclaimed.
It was so exquisite and dazzling that she didn’t dare touch it, afraid she might damage something she couldn’t afford to replace.
Mila beamed with happiness, her face full of joy. “Nate had it custom-made for me.”
“General Morrison is really good to you,” Sienna remarked.
Mila placed the wedding dress and gown on the bed. Then, she walked over to Sienna and gently linked arms with her.
Leaning in, she whispered into Sienna’s ear, “Sienna, are you not interested in Daniel at all?”
Sienna’s expression darkened, and her mood grew somber. She recalled the words Daniel had once said to her.
“The initial excitement faded, and I no longer feel the same. I’ve lost the urge to commit to you. I would return to Phoenicia and marry someone from a more suitable background.” Even after a year, those words still pierced her heart with pain whenever she thought of them. But she never resented Daniel.
After all, she knew she wasn’t a suitable match for him. She was aware of her place and thought ending a relationship when love had faded was far better than cheating or having an affair.
Mila gently shook Sienna, who seemed lost in thought. “What are you thinking about?” Sienna snapped back to reality and managed a strained smile. “Nothing. Where’s your son?”
“Jasper is in class.”
Sienna was surprised. “What? He’s only a little over a year old and already in class?”
“It’s an early education class.”
Sienna couldn’t help but be amazed at how differently the wealthy lived. They had such a strong focus on education from such a young age.
Mila showed various sets of jewelry Nathan had specially custom-ordered for her. As the wedding drew nearer, Mila’s joy was contagious. Sienna couldn’t help but share in her excitement.
They caught up on each other’s
lives. Later, Mila requested Sienna’s
hotel room key and promptly arranged for a driver to check out of her room and bring her luggage over She insisted Sienna stay at Morrison Residence instead.
Sienna was swept up in Mila’s overwhelming kindness and reluctantly accepted her offer. She thought that since Daniel resided in Maple Abode and seldom visited the main house, their paths were unlikely to cross often, especially considering his hectic schedule.
