Chapter 823
When Daniel and Sienna visited Felix, they were struck by how much he had changed. He seemed like a completely new person.
Felix was visibly stronger and more upbeat, no longer as sad and depressed as before. He had been promoted to team leader, now overseeing kitchen operations. He enjoyed good meals and received kind treatment from the prison guards.
These improvements had started suddenly a few months earlier. On the day Sienna brought Daniel to visit him, everything became clear to Felix. It turned out that someone had been looking out for him. Sienna and Felix began to catch up. When she passed the phone to Daniel, Felix greeted him with a warm smile, "Dan, it's been too long."
The familiar nickname moved Daniel deeply. Overwhelmed by emotion, he offered just a few words of encouragement. "Stick to the rules, focus on your rehabilitation, and aim for an early release." "Alright," said Felix.
"Look me up when you're out of prison."
"Thanks, Dan." Felix felt hopeful once more. The days ahead didn't seem as daunting.
Daniel was like a beacon, brightening everything around him wherever he went. He brought joy to Sienna's life, and Felix was discovering the right direction under his influence.
Felix might not have fallen into the abyss if he had someone like Daniel guiding him from the start.
After visiting Felix and visiting her parents' graves, Sienna was free of worries. She returned to Phoenicia with Daniel.
The blissful days slipped by quietly. Sienna took up driving lessons and dedicated herself to mastering the skill. Besides writing, she filled her free time by watching dramas at home, gardening, or shopping with her sisters-in-law whenever she felt bored.
As spring gave way to summer, Daphne welcomed a baby boy into the world. The Morrisons celebrated this happy occasion with great joy and offered their congratulations to Duke.
The baby boy was Gary's fifth grandson, whom they named Noah Morrison. The name was a playful pun on "No more son," hinting humorously that they hoped he would be the last boy in the family.
A sip-and-see party was held to celebrate the newborn. Unfortunately, Nathan and Mila, who were busy and stationed far away on the frontier, couldn't attend.
They sent their two-year-old son, Jasper, in their stead. He was looked after by Cole and Phoebe throughout the event.
The day of the celebration was filled with a lively, festive atmosphere. Sienna beamed as she cradled
Noah, seemingly reluctant to let him
go. Her maternal instincts were fully awakened.
With Noah in her arms, she leaned against Daniel and tentatively asked, "Honey, look at the baby. Isn't he adorable?"
Unconcerned, Daniel replied, "He's adorable, but you're even more adorable to me."
Sienna frowned in displeasure and glanced at Daniel before asking softly, "When are we going to have one of our own?"
"We'll talk about it next time," Daniel whispered back.
Following the sip-and-see party, Sienna frequently visited Daphne at Magnolia Villa to learn about baby care from the maternity nurse.

would head straight to Duke and Daphne's home. Sure enough, he always found her there, gently
soothing the baby.
Occasionally, Daniel would catch Sienna staying up late, absorbed in parenting books. He asked, "Are you really that fond of kids?"
"Aren't you?" Sienna questioned.
"I am, but I'm not ready to start a family yet. I'd rather focus on us for now," Daniel said.
Sienna was confused. "We're going to have them eventually, so why delay?"
Daniel kissed her without saying a word. He was afraid their future child might divert the scant affection Sienna had for him and consume all her time and energy.
Perhaps he was selfish, but unlike other couples who seemed fulfilled by their children, Daniel cherished the undivided attention he and Sienna shared when they were away from work.
Sienna's novel was on the brink of a new life as a TV series, with filming set to start at the film studio. The project was under the management of Tobias' production company.
