The Wrong Woman

Sienna found solace in the thought.

The Morrisons gathered in the dining room in the evening for dinner, except for Daniel. Despite Nathan's busy schedule, he made it home to join Mila and the rest of the family for dinner. Sienna couldn't shake the feeling that Daniel was avoiding her. Their relationship was awkward, after all.

The Morrisons were a big family, and Daniel had a lot of brothers. Almost all of them were married and had one or two children, unlike Daniel, who was still single.

Duke had divorced a year ago and had recently tied the knot again. This time, it was with a woman named Daphne McKinley, who was already expecting a child.

Amidst the bustling household of the large family, the atmosphere was genuinely lively. Sienna hadn't experienced the warmth of family or enjoyed home-cooked meals in quite some time. Every member of the family treated her with kindness and hospitality. The children were particularly fond of her and affectionately called her "Sisi". They were eager to spend time playing with her. After dinner, the Morrisons gathered in the living room to chat and snack on fruits.

Mila leaned back against Nathan, who held her close with one arm while he scrolled through work documents on his phone. They spoke quietly, diving into work discussions filled with jargon only they understood.

Taylor and Tobias discussed recent business deals, while Wendy and Cheryl chatted with Daphne about pregnancy and childbirth experiences. Duke listened attentively nearby.

Meanwhile, Gary and Florence enjoyed spending time with their grandchildren. The harmonious family atmosphere stirred envy in Sienna.

Thoughts of her situation brought a pang of bitterness. It had been a while since she last saw Felix, and suddenly, she missed him. She lowered her head slowly, feeling her chest constricting. "It's getting late. Why hasn't Daniel returned yet?" Florence's voice carried an edge of anxiety as she peered toward the doorway.

Startled, Sienna looked up at Florence.

Daniel lived there?

"Isn't he staying at Maple Abode?" Sienna asked anxiously.

With a smile, Florence said, "He moved back in since his eyesight recovered."

Sienna's heart suddenly raced. She clutched her pants, regretting her decision to stay.

Just then, Jasper hurried over to

Sienna. His cute face was brimming

with innocence as he blinked hi big, cleareyes and held out a lollipop to her

"Sisi, lollipop."

Sienna shook her head with a smile, speaking softly, "Thanks, Jay. I'm not in the mood for candy."

"I have lots," Jasper said, pushing the lollipop into Sienna's hand. "For Sisi."

Sienna's smile remained gentle. "Thanks, Jay. But I'm really not up for it right now."

Jasper popped the lollipop into his mouth and relished its taste.

Suddenly, a noise came from the door.

Taking small quick steps, Jasper

hurried to the door. He took the lollipop out of his mouth and held it

in his hand. "Uncle Danny! Uncle Danny!"

Daniel changed his shoes into slippers before bending down to pick up Jasper and looked at him affectionately.

"Candy again? That's not good for your teeth," Daniel said unhappily.

Jasper quickly thrust the lollipop toward Daniel's mouth. "Uncle Danny, you have it."

Concerned about Jasper's sugar intake and the risk of cavities, Daniel

Jasper looked upset, with the corners of his lips downturned as if he were on the verge of tears.

Daniel frowned. "Didn't you offer it to me?"

Jasper pursed his lips. "It's Sisi's candy."

Sisi?

Daniel stopped in his tracks and shifted his gaze toward the couch in the living room.Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org

Sienna briefly met his gaze before quickly looking away, her posture tense with inner turmoil and anxiety.

After noticing Sienna sitting on the couch, Daniel gently set Jasper down. He removed the lollipop from his mouth, swallowing hard.
