Chapter 784
Daniel looked into Sienna’s eyes, her determination causing a pang of emotion to prick his nose. Heartache flooded him in waves. He couldn’t resist moving closer and reaching out to hug her.
But Sienna recoiled and avoided his touch.
Daniel was stunned briefly before withdrawing his hand. He sensed the lingering resentment in Sienna’s heart. She seemed repelled by him.
Perhaps his words during their breakup a year ago had deeply wounded her pride.
“Let’s go register our marriage,” Daniel suggested.
Sienna paused before asking, “Shouldn’t you discuss this with your family first?”
“It’s not too late to inform them after we register.” Daniel feared Sienna might change her mind, so he wanted to register their marriage promptly.
Sienna hesitated. “I don’t have my identification documents with me. Let’s postpone it. You should speak to your parents first. Get their approval, and then come to me.
“I’d prefer to avoid family conflicts right from the start. Once you’ve had the chance to speak with your family, we can then plan a time for the registration.”
Daniel respected Sienna’s decision. “Okay. How can I reach you?”
Sienna retrieved her phone and entered Daniel’s number with her new one. His number was etched in her memory.
After the call connected, Daniel pulled out his phone and glanced at the screen.
“I’ll leave now,” Sienna said politely.
Daniel stepped forward. “I’ll walk with you.”
“It’s okay. You’re at work,” Sienna replied.
“No worries. Plus…”
Daniel paused, realizing he was about to mention that his work handovers were almost complete. He was just waiting for approval from his manager before he could resign. Sienna waited for him to finish, but as he remained silent, she nodded and said, “I’ll leave then.”
With that, she turned and left.
Daniel watched her slender figure walking away, feeling a mix of emotions.
The next morning, Sienna woke up, refreshed herself, and had toast and coffee. Then, she settled in front of her laptop to start her work.
She dedicated only three to four hours each day to her writing. Her phone buzzed, and she saw a message from Daniel. “Pack your things. I’ll pick you up.”
Sienna felt a bit puzzled but didn’t dwell on it. She closed her laptop and packed her belongings. Then, she changed into nice clothes and carefully applied makeup on her face.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on her hotel door. Sienna took a deep breath before walking over to open it.
Daniel stood there, his gaze intense and his tone gentle. “Are you all packed?”
Sienna hummed in response.
Daniel entered the room, and Sienna moved out of the way. After scanning the room, he noticed a suitcase and handbag beside the bed. He picked them up and headed for the door. “Let’s head downstairs and check out,” Daniel said quietly as he walked past Sienna.
Sienna took the handbag from him. “I can carry this.”
They left the room together, walking side by side. After checking out of the hotel, they got into Daniel’s car.
Sienna felt somewhat uneasy and anxious. She wasn’t sure where he was taking her. She thought maybe to the city hall.
“Have you told your family?” Sienna asked, feeling nervous.
“Yes, I have. Everyone likes you and is completely supportive,” Daniel responded calmly.
While some of Daniel’s siblings and
sisters-in-law had concerns about Sienna’s background, they merely encouraged Daniel to consider things carefully and didn’t express any opposition.
“Where are we headed?” Sienna asked.
“Back to our home,” Daniel replied, glancing at Sienna.
Though still beautiful and endearing, she appeared to have lost some of her usual lively spirit. Daniel hoped to reignite Sienna’s enthusiasm and bring joy back into her life. The car turned into Morrison
Residence and followed the pathway to the garden. After driving along the scenie path lined with maple trees, they arrived at a house showing distinctive Norvanian architecture.
This was where Daniel made his recovery and where he and Sienna had first crossed paths and started living together.
Sienna knew this place well and had a strong emotional connection to it.
