Chapter 791
Upon hearing Daniel's words, Sienna felt relieved.
Harvey discussed with her the next steps to resolve the issue and how to handle the lawsuit.
Daniel stepped out of the office and made a phone call.
After a while, he returned and quietly sat on the side. He was just sitting there to watch Sienna and Harvey discussing work.
As they talked, Harvey glanced at the trending search on the internet. He was astonished.
"It's gone?" he exclaimed.
Sienna was puzzled. She asked, "What's gone?"
Harvey felt like magic had happened in that short time. The internet was clean, with no trace of the trending search of the rumors of her plagiarism.
Sienna hurriedly checked her phone. She was shocked when she found out there was no evidence online. She looked up in amazement at Daniel. Pursing his lips, Daniel smiled at her.
The abilities of the wealthy and powerful were beyond imagination.
Sienna guessed it was Daniel's doing, but he didn't say a word.
After finishing work, Sienna left the company with Daniel.
Since it was past lunchtime, her stomach was growling, so they went to a nearby restaurant to eat before driving home.
Despite the disrupted plans, Daniel wasn't upset. Instead, after seeing Sienna's troubled expression, he wanted her to have more free time to deal with her worries.
Back at home, Sienna changed into comfortable clothes and came out with her laptop. "Daniel, can I use your study?" she asked.
"From now on, everything in this house, including me, belongs to you. Feel free to use anything, including me. You can use the stuff without my permission," Daniel said to her gently and sincerely. Sienna smiled. "Thanks," she replied with a nod.
After that, she entered the study with her laptop.
Her words of gratitude sounded too awkward and unfamiliar.
Leaning back against the sofa, Daniel sighed softly. He weakly loosened his tie before taking it off and placing it aside. After that, he took off his suit jacket.
Sienna was busy doing her stuff in the study for the whole afternoon. At night, she and Daniel had dinner together.
She scrolled through her phone while eating.
Daniel asked, "Are you busy?"
"Yes, I'm very busy," she replied.
"Focus on eating first, then you can continue."
"I need to finish reading the manuscript of the new book and make corrections. It needs to be submitted to the editor the day after tomorrow."
Daniel fell silent.
After dinner, Sienna returned to her room. Under the guise of work, she claimed to be very busy.
In reality, she was just very nervous and hadn't gotten used to the fact that she was already married. Also, she deliberately avoided Daniel because she still held resentment toward him.
Daniel wasn't that dumb, so he could see through it.
There was no proper celebration and no honeymoon night.
On their first night after marriage, Sienna didn't want to share a room with him. She made him unable to fall asleep.
The most painful thing wasn't spending all his money or being left, but being ignored by the wife he deeply loved during the honeymoon phase of their marriage. That night, Sienna also didn't rest well.
The next day, the bright sunlight streamed in through the window.
Turning around, Sienna suddenly touched a sturdy chest.
She was startled awake, so she abruptly opened her eyes. Feeling sleepy, she saw a man propping his head with his hand lying beside her.
He smiled, his intense gaze boring into her.
"How did you get in?" Sienna asked as she remembered she had already locked the door before going to bed.
Daniel casually replied, "I came in through the balcony."
Sienna glanced up at the balcony where the glass door was opened Then, she slowly pulled the blanket up to cover her messy hair. Feeling shy, she asked, "Why didn't you knock before coming in?"
Daniel slowly slipped under the blanket.
Sienna was stunned and recoiled in shock. She thought he was going to make love with her early in the morning.
Unexpectedly, he just took her hand and pulled it out from under the blanket.
Sienna opened her eyes slightly to

and slowly slid it onto her finger. The cool sensation made her heart race.
The dazzling diamond on the platinum ring was the largest Sienna had ever seen. It was exquisitely beautiful and very eye-catching.
Chapter 792
Chapter 792
Sienna was stunned.
Daniel lifted his hand and showed her the ring on his finger. He said, "This is our wedding ring. Please don't take it off easily."
Sienna gently replied, "Okay."
Gazing at her lovely face, Daniel couldn't help but kiss her forehead.
Sienna was taken aback. She stared at him.
"It's almost noon, do you want to get up for lunch?" Daniel asked gently.
Sienna blushed slightly, and her cheeks felt a bit hot. It was embarrassing to sleep until noon.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Sienna asked curiously.
Daniel shook his head. He replied, "I don't have to work for the next month."
Daniel's higher-ups disagreed with his resignation and were finding excuses to delay accepting his resignation report.
After finding out he was married, they suggested he take marital leave before going back to discuss his resignation.
"Oh..." Sienna responded softly. She slowly sat up in bed, then tugged her nightgown under the blanket.
Daniel also sat up. He wrapped his arms around her from behind. His heart was pounding, and his breath was slightly uneven as he leaned against his cheek with his chin resting on her shoulder. He whispered softly in her ear, "Sisi, I don't snore. I sleep in a normal position and I also don't have any bad habits. Shouldn't we sleep in the same room?"
Feeling Daniel's warmth swirling around her ear, Sienna's body tingled with sensation. With her heart racing, her face flushed-nervous and overwhelmed.
She couldn't help but gulp. She murmured softly, "I've always slept alone since I was young. I'm not used to sleeping with others."
Daniel chuckled resignedly. He slowly tightened his grip as he pressed his lips against the back of her ear. Then, he kissed her. His husky voice sounded like it had been deprived for centuries. He was so desperate, so he said, "But we're married now, you need to get used to my presence."
Sienna felt her heart pounding even more fiercely. She was so nervous that her body was trembling slightly. His intense touching left her weary, and she felt too shy to know what to do next. "Give me a little more time," Sienna said.
The fact that Daniel didn't enter her room last night was enough to prove that he was giving her sufficient time. He had also respected her choice, but he was a normal man.
Even when she was his girlfriend back then, he had already been holding back. But because he wasn't officially her partner, he didn't want to hurt her.
Now, Sienna was his wife. She was his only wife in this lifetime.
He wanted to be the only man in Sienna's life. His desires surged even stronger and more unrestrained.
"For how long?" Daniel asked as he exhaled heavily. Then, he closed his eyes and leaned against her neck.
He asked again with a hoarse voice, "Is one day enough for you?"
Sienna awkwardly pursed her lips and didn't say a word.
Daniel's gaze was tender as he stared deeply into her eyes. She was lost in his intense and beautiful gaze.
He reached out to gently caress Sienna's long hair. He said, "Sisi,
bought you some clothes. The Sibel
in
the master bedroom's closet Take a look when you have time."
He bought her clothes and put them in the master bedroom?
"Okay," Sienna responded. He didn't know what he was up to, so she quickly escaped from his embrace. She said, "I'll freshen up first."
As she hurried off, she didn't notice Daniel's disappointing expression.
After rushing into the bathroom, she immediately locked the door. She covered her pounding heart and tried to calm herself down.
They were married now, and sooner or later, she would have to face such matters. She didn't know what she was afraid of exactly. Sienna took a deep breath. Then, she began to brush her teeth and wash her face.
After getting ready, she came out of the bathroom.
Daniel was on the balcony in the living room, talking on the phone.
Once Sienna sat down at the dining table in the dining room, Gloria immediately served lunch.
There were two sets of cutlery, with seven dishes.
Sienna was puzzled. She asked, "Gloria, why are there so many dishes today?"
Gloria replied respectfully, "Mr.
Morrison instructed that we must
ensure your nutritional balance, ma'am. Each meal should have at
least four different dishes, with reduced portion sizes but not reduced quantities."
Sienna smiled as she felt touched. She said, "Then I'll rely on you in the future."
Gloria genuinely felt Sienna didn't put on airs and was genuinely friendly and approachable. She responded, "It's not hard at all ma'am. It's what I should do.
Chapter 793
Chapter 793
Gloria turned and went back into the kitchen.
Sienna glanced toward the balcony where Daniel was. She couldn't help but rest her chin on her hand, watching him quietly. Emotions began to slowly fill up her heart as she watched him. Daniel went to sit down at the dining table after finishing his call.
After serving Sienna the soup, Daniel said, "Don't blame Gloria. I'm the one who insisted she make more than just one meat and one vegetable dish for you each meal."
"I didn't blame her," Sienna responded as she lowered her gaze. She accepted the soup he offered and said, "Thanks."
Sienna had always been the one who took care of others, including herself. It felt a bit unreal when she was suddenly being looked after by a man like this.
His action was touching, and she didn't know how to express it.
After serving himself some soup, he ate gratefully. He softly asked, "Do you have any plans this afternoon?"
"Nope."
"Then spend the time with me."
Sienna was taken aback.
Daniel smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. I'm just going to bring you to meet my parents."
Sienna responded softly, "Sure."
After lunch, Sienna rested in the living room.
Daniel went into the study. After a while, he came out with a bank card in his hand.
The moment he handed it to her, Sienna stared at him, a bit bewildered.
Daniel knew she had a strong sense of pride and was reluctant to manage his assets or spend his money.
Thus, he prepared an excuse. "This is our joint account. From now on, you'll be in charge of it."
"A joint account?" Sienna asked.
"From now on, if you want to buy furniture or anything for the house, just use the money in this account." Upon hearing that the money was for their home, Sienna calmly took the card he handed her.
"Let's go to my parents' house," Daniel said, holding her hand.
Sienna stood up and looked down at her casual outfit. She said, "Is it okay to dress so casually?"
"We're family, so it's not a big deal."
Sienna felt relief. She then followed him out of the house.
It was only a few minutes' journey from the Maple Forest. As they entered the house, Sienna felt very nervous.
It was her first time visiting Gary and Florence as their daughter-in-law.
Noticing her nervousness, Daniel whispered in her ear, "Don't be nervous. My parents and my siblings all like you."
Indeed, the family warmly welcomed her as soon as they entered.
Sienna shyly and politely greeted them all, "Hello everyone."
"Great, come and have a seat," Florence beamed.
Wendy teased, "Finally, Gary and Florence can relax. They thought Dan would never get married, so they were very worried." Sienna gave them a restrained smile.
Florence took Sienna's hand as she asked, "I heard from Dan that you two aren't having a wedding?"
Sienna nodded.
Florence looked regretful.
Daniel had explained to them that Sienna had no parents and her only younger brother was in prison. At this point, there were no relatives worth involving.
For most people, a wedding was about receiving blessings from family and having them witness their happiness. But for Sienna, it would only bring sadness. Daniel understood why she didn't want a wedding, so he hoped his family would understand too.
Gary responded cheerfully, "It's
alright. After all, a wedding is just a formality. What truly matters is that you two love each other and live a happy life together. That's more important than anything else."
Sienna nodded and replied, "Thank you, Gary."
Florence quickly stood up and went into a room. After that, she came out with several jewelry boxes.
She opened the lids and handed them to Sienna. She said, "This is a gift that I've prepared for you. I wish you both a happy marriage."
Sienna felt overwhelmed as she
looked at the expensive jewelry sets.
She tried to give Florence back the
boxes and said, "Florence, these are
too valuable. I can't accept them."
Florence pretended to be angry. She said, "Since when does a daughter-in-law refuse gifts from the elder?"
Feeling nervous, Sienna glanced back at Daniel because she was unsure what to do.
Daniel smiled gently and said, "Just take it, they gave it to you."
Florence smiled kindly. She continued, "Yeah, your sisters-in-law all have theirs, and so does Chubs. How could you be left out?"
Wendy chimed in, "Just accept it. Mom and Dad are very fair and they treat everyone equally."
Chapter 794
Chapter 794
Sienna couldn't refuse any further.
These were the most valuable gifts she had ever received in her life, which were a set of rubies, a set of emeralds, two sets of diamonds, and two sets of gold jewelry.
Soon after, her sisters-in-law also presented gifts on behalf of their families. All of them were valuable jewelry that retained their worth.
As Wendy said, "We can skip the wedding, but not the gifts."
During this visit, Sienna received gifts worth millions, keeping her in a state of high tension.
She leaned against Daniel and asked quietly, "Do we need to give them gifts?"
Daniel smiled. He whispered in her ear, "We don't need to. You can just accept the gifts without feeling pressured. Just consider it as collecting back all the wedding gifts I've given before." Sienna finally understood. She curiously asked, "When Wanda comes back, will she give us a gift too?"
"When they got married, I also gave them a gift. It's a courtesy."
Looking at the pile of expensive gifts in front of her, Sienna felt pressured.
In the evening, the Morrison family arranged a lavish dinner in Morrison Residence.
The sons of her brothers-in-law, who were at boarding school, were called back. Everyone was present except for Nathan, Mila, and Jasper, who were on their honeymoon trip.
Florence mentioned that there was also an unmarried aunt in the family, Lindsey, but she was often traveling and rarely came home.
When Lindsey was mentioned, Wendy couldn't help but move next to Sienna. She whispered in her ear, "Sienna, our family is quite easygoing, but Lindsey can be difficult.
"She even thinks that Wanda, who is so outstanding, isn't good enough for Nathan. You should prepare yourself because she probably won't like you either. Just don't take her words to heart when you meet her."
Sienna appreciated Wendy's kindness and sincerity. "Alright, thanks, Wendy."
Wendy patted her on the shoulder, then came over with a wine glass to toast her.
Sienna felt embarrassed if she refused her, so she stood up and clinked glasses with her.
Seeing this, Cheryl quickly followed suit and raised her glass to Sienna.
Daphne, who was pregnant, toasted with tea instead of wine.
Sienna rarely drank alcohol, so she had a low tolerance. After three glasses, she was already feeling buzzed.
Seeing that she was about to pour herself more wine, Daniel quickly stopped her. He whispered in her ear, "Your face is all red. Don't drink anymore, or you'll get drunk."
of her. She said as she smiled
Sienna pointed at the liquor net
faintly, Why does this wine taste so
smooth? It doesn't burn my throat like the ones I've had before."
Daniel couldn't help but chuckle before taking a sip of the wine. It was Gary's cherished, high-quality wine.
Today was a special day worth celebrating, so they had brought it out.
After looking around the large round table, Sienna sighed dejectedly.
Noticing her sigh and flushed face, he couldn't help but lean closer. He asked quietly, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
"Why do all your brothers have sons? I feel so much pressure."
Taylor had two sons, Tobias had one, and Duke had a son with his ex-wife. Now, Duke's current wife was pregnant again, though they still didn't know the gender. Nathan also had a son.
Glancing around, he couldn't help.
but pat her head. He comforted her, "My parents really wanted a
daughter. Unfortunately, they ended up with five sons. If the second child had been a girl, my mom probably wouldn't give birth to the rest of us."
"Really?"
Daniel smiled. He whispered into her ear, "All of us wanted daughters too, but we just don't have the opportunity."
"Really?" Sienna asked as she was half-convinced. Her family heavily favored boys over girls, which made her more stressed out.
"Do you want to have kids with me?" His breath was warm, and it swirled around her ear.
Sienna shrank her neck and shyly lowered her head.
Chapter 795
Chapter 795
After dinner, Sienna felt tipsy, so she lay on the sofa to rest.
Daniel gently carried her up from the sofa. After saying goodbye to the Morrisons, they left the villa.
It was quite cool in the garden. The warm street lights illuminated the winding paths, making the night scene exceptionally beautiful. The woman in Daniel's arms was very well-behaved.
"It turns out you can't drink, so don't drink next time," Daniel murmured.
Snuggling into his embrace, Sienna said with a soft and lazy voice, "I can drink. I'm not drunk. I'm just a little dizzy and I want to sleep."
Daniel couldn't help but smile. He said indulgently, "Okay, you can drink."
"Daniel," Sienna murmured. With her eyes closed, she asked with a hoarse voice, "Am I really that bad?"
"You're not bad at all."
"I don't deserve you, right?"
Daniel stopped in his tracks to look at her.
In his arms, she murmured in her sleep; her tone was one of grievance. As if she was about to cry, she mumbled, "I don't deserve you, so why did you marry me? Weren't you supposed to marry someone from the same background? Why did you marry me?"
Daniel's heart ached as he felt suffocated.
"I'm sorry, Sienna," he apologized softly. He realized that the words he had said had deeply hurt her.
Sienna was once an optimistic and cheerful girl, but her optimistic nature was altered by family turmoil and emotional wounds left by a painful breakup. These experiences had left her feeling deeply insecure and profoundly depressed.
It was all his fault!
He continued the walk home. Once they arrived, Daniel carried Sienna to the master bedroom.
He carefully placed Sienna on the large bed. As soon as she touched the bed, she fell into a deep sleep, lying on her side.
Daniel put the gifts into the jewelry cabinet in the walk-in closet. When he came out, Sienna was no longer on the bed. He nervously searched around.
"Sisi," Daniel called out. He rushed to the bathroom and pushed the door open.
He saw Sienna leaning over the toilet. She tried to vomit but couldn't.
Daniel quickly grabbed a clean towel, held her body, and gently patted her back. Sienna felt very sick but still couldn't throw up.
Daniel brought her warm water to rinse her mouth, then wiped her face with a towel. Touching her forehead, he asked softly, "Do you want to take a hot bath? It might make you feel better."
Sienna looked around with dazed eyes. After that, she closed her eyes again and started to unbutton her clothes. She said, "I want a bath."
Daniel knew she couldn't throw up, so he thought a hot bath might make her feel better.
He filled the bathtub with warm water. Then he tied Sienna's hair into a small bun and helped her undress.
There was a very thick steam in the
spacious bathroom. As the warm
light cast a glow on her fair and delicate skin, Daniel felt his breathing become irregular. Blis heart suddenly raced like crazy.
Although she was his wife, this was the first time he saw Sienna's body. She had an hourglass figure with fair and delicate skin. His desire was igniting as he looked at her. Daniel knew Sienna wasn't fully conscious. Otherwise, she wouldn't have let him help her bathe.
After gently placing her in the bathtub, he let her lie comfortably His clothes got wet, but he didn't dare to join her in the bath because he feared that he couldn't control himself.
Taking advantage of her in this state was neither the act of a man nor the way of a gentleman. Even as a husband, he had to respect her feelings.
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the tree branches into the window, casting dappled shadows and illuminating the entire room.
Sienna had a dream of Daniel touching her body, so she felt very shy and embarrassed.
As she slowly woke up, she realized she was hugging a warm body.
Chapter 796
Chapter 796
Sienna opened her eyes. The first thing she saw was a thin white shirt, and beneath it was a man's chest.
She slowly raised her head to look at the man's sexy Adam's apple, then his well-defined jawline, and finally his handsome features.
It was Daniel. How did she end up sleeping in the same bed as him? What happened last night?
She couldn't remember a thing.
Seeing that Daniel was still asleep, Sienna let out a breath, not daring to move. She carefully rested her face against his chest again. She just lay there quietly, feeling his warmth and his heartbeat in his embrace.
The long-missed feeling made her nostalgic and reluctant to wake up. Her heart started pounding. Lying in his arms, Sienna didn't want to wake up.
The man's breathing was even, showing no signs of waking up.
Sienna adjusted her position to let her leg pressing on his waist slide down slowly. Accidentally, she touched a rock-hard part of his body, which scared her into stiffness. Her entire body tensed up, and she nervously swallowed.
Daniel woke up from the touch. He slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his wife in his arms. She was still lying on top of him in her original position.
He smiled slightly. He tightened his arms, held her closer, and kissed her hair. Then, he reached for his phone to check the time.
It was 9:00 am.
Due to his strong desires over the past two days, with no outlet, he would do a lot of exercise at night to tire himself out, especially last night. It was so intense, which made him wake up late. After putting down his phone, he gently pushed Sienna aside because he wanted to get out of bed.
His gaze was gentle and tender as he watched her sleeping face. Brushing her hair, he quietly looked at her long eyelashes and rosy cheeks.
He moved his fingers to Sienna's lips and gently rubbed them with his fingertips. He couldn't help but gulp as he gazed at her intensely. Sienna's heart was racing. She was awake but didn't have the courage to open her eyes. She also didn't have the courage to face Daniel directly. "Sisi, I'm sorry."
The man's magnetic, husky voice came softly and low but extremely pleasant to the ear.
Sienna's heart tightened. Why was he apologizing to her?
She was a bit confused.
Did they have sex last night when she was drunk?
Although they were married, it was too much for him to do it without her consent.
After all, it was her first time. Why

Sienna bit her lip as her eyelids slightly moved.
At that moment, the phone rang.
Daniel immediately picked up the phone and put it on silent mode.
After getting out of bed, he wallnet
out of the room with the phone in
hand.
When Sienna heard the door was closed, she slowly opened her eyes. She lifted the blanket to check her clothes.
She was wearing a brand-new nightgown. She touched her chest and realized she wasn't wearing a bra.
At that moment, Sienna's heart sank.
Daniel had already crossed the line!

Sienna sat up, threw off the blanket and walked to the bathroom. Suddenly, she stopped. She looked
down at her legs, but she dided

any discomfort.
Could it be that her body recovered quickly?
She had never experienced it before, so she didn't know how her body would feel the next day after it.
Anyway, Daniel was already her husband. Whether they did it or not didn't really matter anymore.
After washing up, she changed out her nightgown in the guest bedroom.
Daniel had taken the call in the study. When he returned to the bedroom, Sienna was no longer there.
After washing up and getting dressed, he went to the living room to look for her.
"Camille, where's Sisi?" Daniel asked.
Chapter 797
Chapter 797
Camille respectfully replied, "Mr. Morrison, Madam Sienna went out."
"Where did she go?"
"It seems she went to the garden to water the plants."
Daniel strode out.
Since Sienna didn't want to hire too many staff, they didn't hire any gardeners. However, someone still needed to do tasks like sweeping leaves, watering, pruning, and planting flowers. Under the sunlight, the greenery was lush. Holding a hose, Sienna stood among the flower beds.
The water stream formed a clear, transparent rainbow, arching perfectly in mid-air and sprinkling down on the plants and trees.
Watering the plants was a very healing and comforting activity.
Daniel walked toward her.
Sienna's heartbeat inexplicably quickened when she glanced at him, but she remained quiet and continued watering the plants.
"Do you like taking care of the garden yourself?" he asked softly.
Sienna responded, "Yes."
"It can be tiring."
"It's not tiring and I like planting flowers. When I'm tired from writing, I come to the garden to tend to the plants. It makes me feel much better, very stress-relieving and relaxing."
"As long as you like it," Daniel said gently before slowly walking behind her. He pressed his body against her back and wrapped his arms around her.
Sienna froze with tension, her body stiff and straight.
His large hands covered hers, gently guiding the hose so that they could water the plants together.
The intimate action of him hugging her from behind made her feel a bit lost, and her heart pounded.
Daniel lowered his head to whisper in her ear, "Sisi, would you like to go on a trip?"
"No," Sienna declined. After realizing her tone might have been too cold, she quickly added, "I still have a lawsuit to deal with. Maybe we can go later." "Sure," Daniel replied. His breathing became more rapid as he inhaled the scent of her hair, holding her even tighter.
Sienna's body remained tense while her thoughts were in turmoil.
Daniel slowly turned off the water. After that, he gently cupped her cheek and turned her head to face him.
He kissed her lips.
Sienna closed her eyes and let him kiss her deeply. His breath was hot, greedy and dominating as he pried her lips open to intertwine their tongue.
Her body softened into the kiss.
Suddenly, Daniel lifted her into his arms and carried her toward the house.
Feeling shy, Sienna blushed as she buried her face in his chest. She murmured, "Daniel, it's daytime. It's not appropriate to do that."
Daniel couldn't help but laugh, "Who says you can't do it during the day?"
"I... I didn't mean it that way. It's just..." Sienna stuttered because she felt nervous, scared, and uneasy.
There was also anticipation but mostly shyness.
Daniel carried Sienna into the dining room and set her down at the table. Sienna was stunned, looking at him in surprise.
Daniel patted her head
affectionately. He said as he
pampered her, "Even if you're busy
you should have breakfast first. Whether it's watering plants or
sleeping with me, you need to fill
your stomach first."
Sienna felt very awkward. Daniel hadn't brought her inside to sleep but to have breakfast.
She had misunderstood!
After Gloria brought out the breakfast, Sienna awkwardly ate the meal.
After having breakfast, she
continued watering the plants in the garden. Meanwhile, Daniel returned to his study to handle important matters.
Being busy was the best medicine for healing.
Kon
When people were busy, they didn't have time to overthink or feel depressed, especially when doing something they enjoy.
"Sienna..." a familiar woman's voice called out.
Sienna put down the potted plant in her hands and stood up. She turned to look toward the source of the voice. Wendy approached her with a smile.
Sienna greeted her politely, "Good morning, Wendy."
Chapter 798
Chapter 798
Wendy was elegantly and fashionably dressed. Seeing Sienna wearing gloves and tending to the garden, she couldn't help but frown.
She asked, "What are you doing? You can leave this work to the gardeners."
"It's fine, I actually enjoy gardening," Sienna replied.
Wendy didn't comment much on her hobby. She smiled warmly and said, "Sienna, tonight I'm taking you to an important banquet. It'll be perfect for you."
Sienna quickly shook her head. She declined the offer, "It's okay, Wendy. I'm not suited for banquets. You can go, there's no need to bring me along."
"You have to go. A director friend of mine is hosting it, so there will be a lot of celebrities, investors, producers, editors, and even some novelists. These connections will be valuable for you," Wendy said enthusiastically.
She lowered her voice and continued, "Networking is crucial. Your books need to be published and adapted into films, right?"
Sienna smiled resignedly. She replied, "Wendy, I really don't want to go."
Wendy pretended to be angry. She frowned as she continued, "I know your husband can support you financially, but a woman should prioritize her career. You don't want to just depend on your husband for everything and have no career of your own, right?"
Her words hurt Sienna. She didn't want people to think that she was unworthy of Daniel; even Daniel thought that way. She desperately wanted to succeed and prove her worth to them.
She hesitated, "I don't have any suitable clothes to attend the banquet."
"Don't you buy clothes normally?"
"They're all casual wear."
"What about something formal?"
"I only have one outfit."
"Let me see," Wendy couldn't believe that Sienna, married to Daniel, didn't have a single decent outfit.
Sienna led Wendy upstairs to the second bedroom. She opened the closet and took out a dress.
She asked, "Will this do?"
Wendy's face turned notably grim as she frowned at the closet, looking displeased.
Glancing around the room, she was surprised. She asked, "Is this the guest room? Why are you sleeping here?"
Sienna panicked. She didn't know how to explain, "I... I was sleeping here before."
"Aren't you married to Daniel? Why aren't you guys sleeping together?"
Sienna lowered her head because she felt guilty and awkward.
"Oh my god! I didn't expect Daniel to be so innocent. Why are your dates so boring?" Wendy asked curiously, as if she wanted her to spill all the details.
Sienna put the dress back in the closet.
changed the topic, "Wendy, should skip the banquet."
fter closing the door, she et

wontent!
"What about the master bedroom? Do you have any nice outfits in the master bedroom?"
Sienna shook her head. He said, "I don't think so."
But then, she remembered that Daniel had mentioned buying some clothes and putting them in the walk-in closet.
She said, "Maybe there are."
"Let's take a look."
Wendy followed Sienna to the walk-in closet in the master bedroom.
As they stepped inside, both of them were stunned. Feeling shocked, they stared at the vast closet filled with Sienna's belongings. There were dozens of the latest designer handbags, a dazzling array of shoes, various high-end clothes, and matching accessories. It felt like walking into a luxury boutique.
Wendy picked up a tag hanging on one of the clothes. When she read the handwritten note on how to style the outfit, she was amazed.
She said, "Sienna, Daniel really spoils
you. He hired the most famous
stylist to select the latest and most suitable outfits for you. These clothes and bags are already very pricey, let alone the stylist's fee."
Sienna froze in place and was unable to react.
Chapter 799
Chapter 799
Wendy casually picked out a dress and said, "This one looks great. Just wear this to the banquet tonight."
Facing Wendy's enthusiasm, Sienna didn't know how to reject her offer.
She walked toward Wendy and touched the dress. Feeling complicated emotions and touched, she replied, "Okay."
"Then it's settled. I'll come get you in the evening."
Sienna nodded.
After putting the dress down, Wendy turned to look at the walk-in closet again. She expressed her feelings, "They're all siblings, but why isn't my husband as romantic and considerate as yours? I'm so jealous." Sienna pondered for a while before walking to the side. When she lightly touched the other clothes and looked at the handbags in the glass case, she felt like she was dreaming.
In her life, she'd only seen these clothes, shoes, and bags in high-end stores.
Wendy said happily, "I'll go prepare myself. I'll do some skincare, get a makeover, so I can look gorgeous at the banquet tonight."
After Wendy left, Sienna was still in the walk-in closet.
It was a fact that women love beautiful clothes, shoes, and bags. Of course, she loved it as well.
She also noticed the vanity table was stocked with brand-name jewelry, an array of expensive skincare and makeup products. It was a dazzling display, everything she could possibly need.
This was another revelation about the world of the wealthy for her.
Holding a bottle of serum, she sat at the vanity and fell into a daze.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Sienna quickly put down the serum and walked out of the walk-in closet to open the door.
Camille respectfully said, "Madam Sienna, two guests have come to visit. They are colleagues of Mr. Morrison. They have asked to see him."
"Daniel is in the study," Sienna replied.
Camille nodded and went to the study.
After tidying up her hair and clothes, she quickly went downstairs to greet the guests.
There were two serious and calm-looking men in the living room; one seemed to be in his 50s, and the other in his 30s.
Upon seeing Sienna come down, they immediately stood up.
"This must be Daniel's new wife?" the older man asked with a kind smile.
Sienna approached them and nodded. She greeted, "Hello, I'm Sienna He's a bit busy in the study room right now. I apologize for not greeting you properly."
"You don't have to be so formal since we're colleagues," said Jurgen Klopp, who was Daniel's supervisor.
He pointed at the gifts on the table and said, "We heard you got married, so we came to offer our blessings." "Thank you, I appreciate it," Sienna expressed her gratitude politely before inviting them to sit down. After that, she also sat on the couch.
The younger man spoke, "I'm Ryan Campbell, a colleague of Daniel's. This is Mr. Jurgen Klopp, our supervisor."
Sienna nodded again and said, "Nice to meet you."
Ryan smiled warmly. He
immediately understood why Daniel
wanted to resign when he saw
Sienna's good looks and excellent
figure.
Having such a beautiful wife at home could indeed dampen one's fighting spirit.
Just then, Daniel hurried out of the study, looking a bit anxious.
"Mr. Klopp? Ryan?" he exclaimed in surprise.
Both of them were smiling. They stood up to congratulate him, "Daniel, congratulations on your marriage."
"Thanks, Mr. Klopp, Ryan."
"I'm sorry to disturb you during your leave," Jurgen said politely. "We were passing by on business and thought we'd stop by."
Daniel glanced at the large gifts on the table. He knew that this wasn't just a casual visit.
He walked over to Sienna. With a tender gaze, he said, "This is my wife, Sienna Lawson."
Sienna smiled as she nodded.
Ryan grinned and replied, "We've already been introduced."
Jurgen stood up. His expression turned
"D" Serious as he said,
"Daniel,
talk in the
something to discuss with net
Chapter 800
Chapter 800
Daniel gently touched Sienna's hand and said softly, "Chat with Ryan for a bit."
Sienna nodded obediently.
After that, Jurgen followed Daniel into the study.
Sienna felt a bit nervous and awkward, so she tried to find something to say, "Would you like some fruit? I can serve you some."
Ryan quickly responded, "It's fine, Sienna. I can just drink tea."
He took a sip of the tea in front of him.
Feeling awkward, she sat down and forced a smile because she didn't know what else to talk about.
Ryan glanced at the door to the study, then he asked quietly, "Sienna, pardon my boldness, but do you know about Daniel's decision to resign?"
Sienna was stunned. She shook her head.
Feeling worried, she nervously asked, "He didn't tell me. He loves his job so much. Why would he resign?"
"He does love his job, but he loves you more. In order to marry you, he needs to quit his job," Ryan said with a sigh.
He continued, "In reality, career and family matters can coexist, like in my case, I have a happy family and a successful career without any problems."
Sienna was dumbfounded. Her heart ached as she looked at Ryan in disbelief.
Ryan continued in a low voice, "Mr. Klopp doesn't want to lose such an outstanding officer and our team needs someone like Daniel. We came here not only to congratulate you on your marriage, but also to try to convince him to stay."
Clutching her pants tightly, Sienna struggled to calm herself down. She said, "He doesn't need to resign to marry me. I never asked him to."
Ryan states, "From what I heard, it was your mother's idea. She didn't want you to marry a police officer. He chose his career over you a year ago but he couldn't move on So, he decided to resign and be with you."
Sienna felt a bit sad and her heart ached for some reason.
Ryan sighed deeply. He pleaded, "Sienna, if you're not opposed to his job, could you talk to your mother and convince him not to resign? The police force and the country need him."
Sienna felt glum. She responded, "My mom passed away a year ago."
Ryan was shocked. He quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't know. I thought..."
When Ryan realized, he was confused. He asked, "If your mother passed away a year ago, no one is against you being together now, so why is he still resigning?"
Sienna pursed her lips as she smiled bitterly. Tears welled up in her eyes and her heart was aching. She looked down without answering his question.
It turned out that Shelly forced their breakup a year ago. Daniel had never explained it to her. He just silently bore the label of a jerk.
He must have wanted to retain her
mother's dignity and not tarnish her image in Sienna's heart, so he never spoke ill of the deceased. Although he was so foolish, he was a kind man.
IMS
Memories of the past flashed through her mind, and she finally understood him.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she discreetly wiped them away. Taking a deep breath, she looked at Ryan and said, "I'll convince him not to resign, so don't worry."
Ryan was very happy. He slapped his thigh in excitement and said, "That's wonderful! With your support, I feel relieved."
"I want to know, has he caught the drug lord he pursued for many years, the one who severely injured him?"
Ryan was taken aback. "You know about that?"
Sienna nodded. "Yes. I'm the one who took care of him when he was recovering from his injuries, so I'm familiar with it." "That case is a sore spot for him because he hasn't caught the mastermind yet."
