The Wrong Woman

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.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"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."
