The Wrong Woman

Mila was confused. "Why are you bringing up Daniel out of the blue?"

Nathan's expression turned grim, and he asked with bitterness, "Just answer me. Will you pick him or me?"

Mila chuckled. "Daniel's right. You've always seen Daniel as a rival. But I've never had romantic feelings for Daniel. He's like a brother to me, so why would I pick him?" "Then, are you saying you'll marry me?"

"It's not a definite yes."

Nathan's face went pale, and he anxiously cradled Mila's face in his hands. "What do you mean? Are you considering marrying Daniel?"

Mila replied calmly, "I don't have feelings for Daniel. I have them for you. But if Daniel has feelings for me just like you do, it's difficult to say who I might end up marrying." "Why?" Nathan asked.

Mila pondered for a moment before responding, "Daniel has qualities that set him apart from you."

"What sets him apart?"

"You're more reserved, while he's quite assertive. If you both pursued the same woman, he wouldn't hesitate to make the first move, seizing every opportunity."

Nathan nodded in agreement. A smile spread across his face. "Well then, I guess I owe him a thank you for never having feelings for you."

"I wonder when Daniel is going to marry Sienna," Mila said, leaning on Nathan with anticipation building inside her.

Nathan gently stroked her back and suggested, "Why don't you call Sienna and bring it up casually?"

Mila quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Sienna's number, her excitement growing.

After a moment, Sienna answered the call. "Wanda, it's been ages. How have you been?"

"I've been good. And you, Sienna? How's everything going?" Mila asked

Sienna grinned. "I'm hanging in there. Guess what? I'm tying the knot next month. Can you make it?"

Mila was shocked. She sat up straight. "You're getting married? Next month?"

Sienna gave a wry smile. "Yep! After enduring a year of dreadful blind dates, it's been one letdown after another. My mom's been on my case about getting married so much, I feel like I'm about to leap off a building.

"But now that I've finally found someone who meets all the criteria, and both families give their approval, we're going for it. At this stage, marrying anyone feels like pretty much the same deal."

Feeling anxious, Mila shifted away

Sienna sighed, "Wanda, our circumstances are different. You don't grasp the challenges I face. Plus, it's not easy to marry whoever I want, is it?"

"How long have you two known each other?"

"About a month. We've hung out a few times and grabbed a few meals together. Everything just clicked. So, we figured we should tie the knot."

"Wait, you're getting married without even dating?"

Sienna sighed, "Dating? That's a luxury I can't indulge in. Honestly, I wish I could've experienced a whirlwind romance before making such a serious commitment. But blind dates were far from romantic.

"It's all about negotiations-discussing terms and plans for before and after marriage. Right now, I'm stuck at the hotel. My mom is busy negotiating the wedding gifts with them."

"Sienna, you're only 26. Don't rush into something like this. Maybe take a little more time. You might find true love."

"My mom can't wait. Three months ago, she pushed me to the point of taking sleeping pills. If I don't get married this time, she said she'll resort to herbicide."

Mila felt as devastated as if she'd just gone through a breakup. She slumped against Nathan's chest, feeling sorry for Sienna and Daniel.

She couldn't understand why Daniel wasn't taking any action. If he didn't make a move soon, Sienna would end up marrying someone else.

Sienna happily reassured, "Wanda,

don't feel down. My blind date is pretty good. He's kind, modest, gentle, considerate, and attractive. find him appealing in many ways, but there's just a slight absence of excitement that gets my heart racing."

"What about Daniel? Will he make your heart race?"

Sienna fell silent on the other end of the phone.

Mila knew she must be feeling upset.

"Sienna, are you still on the line?"

"Wanda, can we please avoid discussing Daniel from now on?" Sienna's once cheerful tone now carried a touch of melancholy.
