"The rumors on the internet are putting her in a bad spot, and now even acting is becoming a bit difficult for her." Landon Lawson wore a cold expression, feeling that Sienna Quinn was becoming more and more out of control.
Sienna gave a faint smile, pushed open the hospital room door, and said, "Someone who is willing to play blind, no matter what they say, it’s all nonsense."
"You..." Landon wanted to say something more, but Sienna turned her head and entered the room, not giving him a chance to speak.
Evan Quinn sat on a chair, looking at Vera Yates lying on the hospital bed beside him. He noticed the woman’s eyelashes moved slightly. He had just clearly seen her sneak a peek, saw him sitting beside her, and only then continued to pretend to be drunk.
With such poor acting, it’s a wonder she managed to fool Landon Lawson. Apparently, his supposedly clever dad really knows nothing about women.
Seriously sizing up Vera Yates, although her skin was fair, it wasn’t pleasant to look at, and compared to his mom’s baby-like skin, it was no match. Probably due to long-term makeup, Vera Yates’ skin had some pockmarks and wasn’t smooth at all.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Evan Quinn pouted. No matter how you look at it, she couldn’t compare to his mom. If she could become an award-winning actress, then his mom definitely could too.
The thoughts in Evan Quinn’s mind were unknown to Vera Yates. She never imagined that the incident with the swapped glasses was caused by such a young child.
As she lay on the hospital bed, she could clearly feel someone staring at her, which was a very uncomfortable feeling.
Vera Yates’s face turned livid as the brat had the audacity to poke her nose.
Why does it feel wet?
Vera was puzzled. It was one thing for him to poke her face, but why did it feel wet?
"Chloe, what are you doing?" Landon Lawson asked, looking at Evan Quinn, who was leaning over the bedside.
When he and Sienna first came in, they saw Evan leaning over the bedside, his chubby little body adorable and plump, butt sticking out, not sure what he was doing there.
Evan turned his head with a cheeky grin, "I wiped my booger on this lady’s face."
Sienna was taken aback, her expression a bit subtle, and she let out a snicker. She initially wanted to hold it in but couldn’t.
Her little boy was truly her sweetheart; even his actions were so adorable. How had she never noticed his cleverness before?
Having been lying there pretending to sleep, Vera Yates’s anger slowly rose. This little brat dared to wipe his snot on her face—how dare he? How could he treat her ?
Vera Yates was pampered from a young age, never having experienced such treatment.
Landon Lawson looked at Vera Yates lying on the bed, with a big booger right on her fair cheek. He twitched his mouth a couple of times.
Was his clever son really just finding it amusing?
His smart son would never do something so childish. If he didn’t know Evan well, Landon might have been fooled by this little guy.
But seeing Vera Yates , his expression turned a bit odd.
Landon Lawson truly didn’t know how Vera Yates, who always cared about her appearance, would go insane once she found out Evan had wiped snot on her.
Evan obediently climbed down, standing cutely beside Sienna, and took her hand of his own accord. The source of thɪs content is novęlfire.net
Sienna gently pinched Evan’s perky little nose, and he playfully blinked. Even at this point, Sienna couldn’t figure out why Evan had such a target for Vera Yates from the start.
She hadn’t said anything, yet this little kid seemed to know a lot.
Landon watched this mischievous mother-son duo, unable to say any reproachful words, and even felt a sense of warmth. It was a feeling he had never experienced before.
"Hmm..." A soft moan broke the silence among them. Vera Yates slowly woke up, looked at everyone in front of her, and murmured slightly, seemingly not fully awake from her drunken state.
Sienna chuckled mockingly. As expected of an actress, she could enter acting mode at any time. How had she not noticed before? Vera Yates was truly born to be an actress; she was rotten to the core yet could still pretend to be so pure.
Actually, Vera Yates’s acting wasn’t that high-level; there were many flaws. But Landon seemed blind, unable to spot any of them.
Vera Yates didn’t seem to notice the foreign object on her face. She showed a flash of joy when she saw Landon, but a flash of hatred crossed her eyes when she saw the two people, big and small, next to him. Anyone could see that this trio was the real family. Yet, how come Sienna had a son?
Disappearing for five years, she returned with a four-year-old child. Was this the result of her five-year hibernation?
The malice flickered and disappeared quickly, hidden well.
"Sienna, you came too. I’m so happy."
Vera Yates appeared a bit delighted, propping herself up to sit, a faint smile on her lips. But the smile only lasted a moment before her pretty little face filled with worry, her body swaying slightly, almost tumbling back onto the bed.
Landon frowned slightly, took a quick step forward to hold Vera Yates, who leaned against him and said with self-reproach, "Brother Stephen, I’ve caused you trouble again."
"What nonsense? Do you think I’d be afraid of this little thing?"
"You’re the best, Brother Stephen." Vera Yates gently leaned in his arms, resting against his chest. She glanced victoriously at Sienna, but her expression froze when she saw the calm eyes of Sienna, which showed no reaction at all.
Sienna simply didn’t care!
Was her technique already this advanced now? If it were five years ago, how could Sienna not care? Either she didn’t care, or she’d seen through her tricks.
Vera Yates lightly coughed and used her small hand to hold her forehead, "Brother Stephen, please don’t be mad at the agent. She had her reasons."
"Not mad? She used you to make deals, and how can I not be mad? Such filthy, despicable tactics, can this be something an agent would stoop to?"
Landon snorted coldly, and his already stern face became even colder with his words, exerting an intense pressure.
Vera Yates kept her head down, her body trembling uncontrollably, but the upturned corners of her mouth betrayed her thoughts.
