If Felix Orwell does nothing, his future bride will be snatched away.
The sound of knocking came, and the old butler placed a cup of coffee in front of Felix Orwell, looking somewhat heartbroken at the young master he watched grow up.
"Young master, while learning to manage the company is important, you need to take care of your health."
Felix Orwell gulped down the coffee. Since last night, he hadn’t rested properly, his mind occupied with the thought of Axel Yates liking Sienna Quinn.
"Has Old Mr. Orwell gone to bed?"
"Yes, sir. The old man has already gone to sleep."
Felix Orwell nodded, rubbed his temples, thinking that he needed to meet the old man’s expectations as soon as possible, so he could return to Sienna Quinn’s side quickly.
Having been accustomed to the life of the eldest young master, it had been a long time since he last visited a nightclub.
The sudden transformation in him surprised everyone in the family.
The butler retreated with the tray, but didn’t go to rest. Instead, he entered Old Mr. Orwell’s room, who was, in fact, not asleep.
Smiling at the entering butler, he said, "How is the young master now?"
"He’s still reading."
The butler stood aside, reporting on Felix Orwell’s status. The old man chuckled softly, his eyes full of affection, "Looks like my precious son is truly moved this time. I’ve never seen him go to such lengths for any girl before. I had to force him to study when he was a kid, but now he’s voluntarily studying day and night."
"It’s good for the young master to be diligent, but I’m worried about him overworking himself," the butler said softly. After all, studying needs a balance; it can’t go on .
Old Mr. Orwell laughed lightly, shaking his head, gently stroking his chin: "Who hasn’t been young and crazy over a woman? That’s life. He’s truly my son, bearing my resilience."
He had met Sienna Quinn, and not only was she beautiful, but her abilities were also outstanding, unlike those women with mere looks.
The first time he saw her, it wasn’t her beauty that struck him, instead, it was her confident aura that caught his attention. He knew Sienna’s father, and reminisced about the hardships of life when that incident happened.
Seeing his daughter, it was indeed like father, like daughter.
"It would truly be wonderful if Sienna could become our family’s daughter-in-law," he said, laughing heartily. Standing aside, the butler had not seen the old master so happy in a long time, yet he still didn’t quite understand.
"Since you favor Miss Sienna so much, why don’t you let the young master go back directly?"
"I’m aware of young Sienna’s situation. Although she was married and has a child, our Orwell Family isn’t that old-fashioned. Besides, I know about her ex-husband, Landon Lawson, and the Lawson Family’s strength. If he can’t offer anything, how can Sienna be impressed by him?"
"You’re really overworked for the young master," said the butler with a light laugh.
Old Mr. Orwell chuckled softly, as he had not spared efforts to help Felix Orwell win over Sienna Quinn.
The phone call ended, and upon hearing the news of Felix Orwell’s imminent return, Axel Yates felt a bit conflicted, unsure why his emotions were so mixed. He didn’t want to see Felix Orwell come back.
Such a situation had never happened before. Why was he averse this time?
Felix Orwell’s eyes narrowed. He stepped on the accelerator hard, heading straight to the address in the message. Some things are more important than anything else.
Sienna Quinn is undoubtedly important, but compared to parental betrayal, nothing is more infuriating.
Sienna Quinn went to Sean Carter’s place to pick up Evan Quinn, only to find the child was already gone. Seeing Sean Carter’s unpleasant expression, she curiously asked, "What’s wrong with you? Where’s Chloe?"
She looked around but found no sign of Evan Quinn.
Sean Carter’s face didn’t look good. He pouted and said, "Not here. I was going to call you, but what’s up with your phone?"
Reminded by Sean Carter, Sienna remembered she had put her phone on silent while working overtime at the company and hadn’t switched it back.
She scratched her head apologetically, "Where’s Chloe then?"
"Went off with his dad. I couldn’t stop him. Landon Lawson said he’d already spoken to you and then came to take the child," Sean Carter replied.
Sean had thought it was Sienna returning when the doorbell rang not long after Evan Quinn answered the phone. But to his surprise, it was Landon Lawson. Sean’s immediate reaction was to shut the door.
However, the child wouldn’t let him do it, no matter what Sean Carter said. The source of this content ɪs novel✶fire.net
Landon Lawson even claimed they had reached an agreement with Sienna. If incredulous, Landon suggested calling her, but despite dialing several times, there was no answer, and in defiance of Sean’s advice, he took the child away. Amazingly, Evan Quinn really agreed to go with him, and he couldn’t be stopped.
"Did you really reach an agreement with someone like Landon Lawson? And didn’t you two sign some agreement?" Sean Carter could hardly believe Sienna actually negotiated with Landon. Wasn’t she afraid Landon would fight for Evan’s custody?
"Chloe needs a father’s love too. I can’t let his childhood be clouded," Sienna said, though she was surprised at how fast Landon acted, having taken the child right after their agreement. Was he really serious about it?
It seemed that Chloe held a significant place in his heart after all.
Sienna’s lips curled up slightly, imperceptibly; maybe her decision wasn’t wrong.
That evening, Sienna sat at home, frowning at the clock on the wall. Evan Quinn hadn’t returned yet, and school started tomorrow. Was he going to stay at Landon Lawson’s place overnight?
She took out her phone and called Evan Quinn.
A sweet, childish voice echoed in her ear, "Mommy!"
"I’m at Daddy’s house."
Sienna frowned, hearing he hadn’t come back so late; was he really staying there?
"Mommy, I’m not coming home tonight. I’m staying at Daddy’s place. We’re playing games, so I won’t talk to you now."
After finishing, before Sienna could say anything, the call was ended. Her expression shifted; just a few days with Landon Lawson, and she had already been left behind.
What an ungrateful little brat.
Sienna gritted her teeth as she spoke but didn’t know that on the other side, Evan Quinn had a cold little expression after hanging up.
