Landon Lawson’s eyebrows furrowed slightly but he didn’t delve deeper; no matter what, this Chiara Thorne was related to Sienna Quinn.
Landon Lawson hugged his wife and child, then turned to leave.
Watching the family of three walk away, Chiara Thorne couldn’t bear to disturb them anymore. Perhaps Sienna Quinn had her own choices to make, and as her friend, Chiara had indeed interfered.
By the evening.
At this ti, Axel Yates was drunk beyond asure in his villa.
Axel Yates guzzled wine furiously, wishing he could get drunk, but the more he wanted to sleep, the clearer his mind beca, the clearer the reminder that Sienna Quinn had completely left him, and he no longer had the privilege to care for her.
Today after he left the old house, he did not see Sienna Quinn again. Originally, he thought he’d bring her to et his only few relatives, but he hadn’t expected that his relatives would object so strongly, the anticipated blessings did not co.
Looks like he and Sienna Quinn were really done.
At least this ti, Sienna Quinn probably won’t easily forgive him again.
Finally waiting for Sienna Quinn’s favor, what did he receive instead? Only the sarcastic remarks from his family.
He poured bottle after bottle, wishing he could drink himself into oblivion; it was the only way to ease so of his pain.
In the haze, he seed to see his birth parents, reaching out his hand trying to touch them, but ultimately only grasping air, unable to hold or feel them, this feeling was excruciating.
"Mom, Dad, you’re both gone. I will find out the truth, and I will make the killer pay the price they deserve."
The next day, Sienna Quinn woke in Landon Lawson’s embrace.
Sunlight washed over the curtains, warm and bright.
Sienna Quinn lay in the man’s arms, feeling the familiar scent around her, causing her to blush.
She had forgotten how she ended up sleeping on the sa bed with him the day before.
Clearly, she rembered after returning to the villa with their son as a family of three, Landon Lawson carried her into the master bedroom without restraint, after the storm had subsided, they both slept in exhaustion.
Looking sideways at the man lying beside her, his handso profile was flawless.
She was curious how, with only one arm now, he could still be so formidable.
"You’re awake?" The man’s deep, slightly hoarse voice sounded.
The woman’s face instantly turned rosy.
"You should go to work." Sienna Quinn turned her head away, not wanting to look into his eyes, afraid he would see her shy deanor, though the feeling was comfortable, she didn’t want to delay Landon Lawson’s work.
Seeing the woman’s shy appearance, the man instead thoroughly enjoyed it.
"No, let’s sleep a bit longer."
Landon Lawson wrapped his arms around Sienna Quinn’s waist, breathing in her hair’s fragrance, feeling very warm and happy.
Sienna Quinn smiled softly, "But today isn’t the weekend, you have to go to work."
"Annoying, isn’t it happier for our family of three to sleep together like this?" Landon Lawson frowned, rubbing his stubble against Sienna Quinn’s cheek as if punishing her.
Sienna Quinn couldn’t stand the tickling and laughed, begging for rcy, "Alright, alright, today I’ll grant you a day off so you can sleep well."
Upon hearing this, Landon Lawson finally spared Sienna Quinn.
He had worked hard to bring Sienna Quinn back, and this ti he intended to love her thoroughly.
Holding the woman in his embrace, he slowly asked, "Why did you get involved with Axel Yates?"
"Because I know there’s sothing between the two of you, but you refuse to tell ."
"Is it just for this?" The man furrowed his brow, appearing sowhat displeased.
The woman turned her gaze away from his eyes and said, "Yes!"
"Such foolishness. Do you know how dangerous a person he is now? Yet you still actively approached him." Landon Lawson was nearly furious, knowing Sienna Quinn did this only to discover the truth. If he’d realized this earlier, why didn’t he just tell her back then, instead of letting her risk such great danger?
Seeing Landon Lawson so upset, Sienna Quinn felt sowhat aggrieved; she rely wanted to know the truth, and Landon wouldn’t say.
"This is all because you wouldn’t tell ."
"Oh my, you’re actually blaming now." Landon Lawson was almost driven to distraction by Sienna Quinn’s unreasonable nature, but what could he do?
After all, she’s his woman.
"Alright, alright, it is my fault for not telling you," Landon Lawson said with so helplessness.
Seeing Landon’s good attitude in admitting fault, the woman gently nestled her head against his arm, "So, will you tell now?"
"If I don’t tell you, will you still go seeking answers?"
"Yes."
Landon Lawson sighed helplessly.
"From now on, you must stay away from Axel Yates. He suspects my father to be the murderer of his own parents, but even I don’t know if it’s true. Miles Grant told before he died that it was a lie to trick Axel Yates, but now, regardless of what I say, he won’t believe ."
As Landon spoke, he paused, "You know Axel well enough after all this ti; you should know how much he cares about his parents. All these years, he’s been diligently searching for the murderers of his parents, and now that he’s found , he’ll surely retaliate against us."
"Who told him that? How did it suddenly beco suspected that your father was involved?" Sienna Quinn’s brow furrowed, her voice carrying a trace of coldness.
Being questioned by Sienna, Landon Lawson’s lips curled into a bitter smile, "It was Miles Grant. He deliberately lied to get Axel Yates’s help back then. Before dying, Miles called , telling it was just a lie to deceive Axel."
"Miles Grant... truly a jinx." Sienna had no fondness for this man.
"A dying person speaks their mind. I believe what he said back then was genuine."
In fact, knowing all this was orchestrated by Miles Grant, Landon felt more sorrow than anyone.
"You’ve seen it firsthand; the extre things he did just to get back at . Now he could engage in such extre behavior towards you and our son. You must stay far away from him."
Deliberately, Landon stared into Sienna Quinn’s eyes.
Upon Sienna’s repeated confirmations with nodding, Landon sighed in relief.
"You must behave. I truly can’t watch any harm co to you."
"So, when you told to leave, was it just to keep safe?" Sienna suddenly asked another question.
"Yes, I just wanted to keep you safe." Landon Lawson didn’t share the whole truth. The reality was even more terrifying than he let on.
"So, you do love ?" Sienna’s eyes glimred with light.
