A firm voice, a determined gaze, without any hesitation in the response.
"So, are you planning to acknowledge ?"
"You’re my son, what’s wrong with acknowledging you? How could I let a seed of mine, Landon Lawson, wander outside?" Landon Lawson’s raised mouth corner made Evan Quinn’s heart tremble, but only for a mont.
"If you’re planning to take away from mommy, I won’t acknowledge you, and I don’t think you’re that kind of person." The little one’s gaze was so firm that it elicited laughter from Landon Lawson.
Landon Lawson raised an eyebrow, looking at his son with interest, who was within arm’s reach: "Why are you so sure? Your mommy always says I’m not a good person."
Evan Quinn pointed to the child’s seat under him.
Landon Lawson raised an eyebrow, a bit puzzled.
"You’re a very warm-hearted man, although you seem cold, this child seat is prepared thoughtfully. Such a considerate man couldn’t be bad."
Evan Quinn spoke with conviction, already sure that Landon Lawson wasn’t a bad person.
The man squinted, Evan Quinn’s words striking him at his softest spot.
"Both you and your mommy are mine, why would I need to take you away?"
The wicked smile slowly spread, the gaze overlooking everything would never let his son and woman fall into soone else’s arms.
"Then are you planning to marry my mommy again?" Evan Quinn widened his eyes, scrutinizing Landon Lawson, unsure of the man’s intent for a mont.
"Again?" Landon Lawson raised an eyebrow in confusion. Did everyone think that he signed the divorce papers?
Evan Quinn furrowed his brow, wondering what Landon Lawson ant. Could it be he doesn’t plan to be responsible for mommy?
Or does he still harbor other feelings for Vera Yates?
"Your little girlfriend isn’t that great."
Little girlfriend? Landon Lawson raised an eyebrow again, wondering why Sienna Quinn told him everything, even things about Vera Yates, to such a young child.
"She’s just my sister."
"I figured your taste wouldn’t be that poor." Evan Quinn nodded with a childish voice, assuring himself that soone he disdained, Landon Lawson wouldn’t appreciate either.
...
"Sienna, I’m really sorry about what happened last ti. Stephen didn’t an it; he was just too worried about ." Vera Yates looked apologetically at Sienna Quinn, who was sitting opposite her, appearing pitifully delicate. To others, she might indeed seem believable.
But who is Sienna? The one once hard by her.
Today, Sienna took the initiative to call Vera Yates, saying she wanted to catch up, and Vera couldn’t be happier. Such a good chance to get close, how could she not be glad?
"You don’t have to feel so remorseful toward , after all, he kept explaining that you two are just siblings later."
Sienna picked up the coffee on the table, brought it close to her lips and took a light sip, her lips turning up as she looked at Vera Yates with a teasing glance.
The latter’s body froze, her smile only stiffening for a mont before she laughed softly: "Seems like Stephen indeed cares about your feelings."
On the surface, it appeared trivial, but Vera Yates’ fingers gripping the coffee cup turned pale, betraying her current unease and anger.
Sienna just chuckled lightly, took a recorder from her bag, and gently pushed it in front of Vera Yates: "I’ve been back for so long but haven’t brought you any gifts, let this be my make-up."
Vera Yates’ face turned gloomy as she stared at Sienna’s eyes, her trembling hands unable to press the play button for a long ti.
Watching those hands constantly shake, Sienna reached out her slender fingers, took the recorder back into her hand: "Looks like things aren’t as peaceful as they seem, since you don’t dare face reality, let do it for you."
As she spoke, her knuckles pressed down on the play button.
Listening to the recorder’s voice, Vera Yates’ complexion beca increasingly pale, sharp nails digging into her flesh, the pain in her palm already numb.
Landon Lawson... actually bothered to explain their relationship to Sienna.
Even five years ago, Sienna doubted their relationship, yet Landon Lawson never explained to her once.
Because he didn’t care, so he didn’t bother explaining.
Then what’s happening now?
Sienna’s position in his heart has beco so important?
Sienna admired her constantly changing expressions, pressing the play button repeatedly.
"She’s just my sister..."
"She’s just my sister..."
"She’s just my sister..."
...
Repeating the playback, striking her chest each ti, this recorder was just a small gift from Sienna, but its effect was unexpectedly so good.
"Enough!"
Vera Yates’ piercing voice nearly broke Sienna’s eardrum, her furious, reddened eyes glaring at her, knowing well that she intentionally gave her this to listen.
Although Vera understood she should remain calm, Landon Lawson’s words echoed repeatedly beside her ears, years of acting skills unable to hide her angry heart.
"Do you still like this gift I gave you?" The woman’s lips sweetly smiling, her pretty eyes curved into a crescent like the stars in the sky.
Vera Yates closed her eyes, taking a deep breath, striving to adjust her emotions, and opening them again with another false smile.
"Sienna, I know you’re angry because I’m with Stephen, but we’re friends, aren’t we? Stephen and I are truly in love, why can’t you just wish well?"
Seeing that pitifully small face, Sienna just chuckled lightly, her small hands clapping to the coffee shop’s music rhythm: "As expected of an actress, tears co at will, admirable indeed. If I hadn’t left back then, would you have used your acting skills to take away my kidney?"
Sienna leaned forward, closing the distance between her and the woman.
Her burning gaze fixed on her, the confident eyes bearing defiance and mockery, as if she knew what was ant to happen back then, brazenly frightening, making Vera shaky inside feel the urge to retreat.
"Kidney... Sienna, what nonsense are you talking? We are friends." Vera Yates’ eyes flickered non-stop.
"Friends? Surface friends perhaps. When did you really consider a friend? When you wanted my kidney?"
Sienna suddenly laughed, her white teeth gleaming under the sunlight.
The expression on Sienna’s face now was glaring, and at this mont, Vera Yates finally realized that this woman had returned for far more than it seed, she was back for revenge.
For what they did back then, but how does Sienna know? Those plans hadn’t been executed yet, was it Miles who told her?
