My Ex-husband Begs Me Back

Chapter 1330 Competition

Chapter 1330 Competition

After meeting, the three of them exchanged greetings with their own thoughts, and then Mrs. King took

the initiative to explain, "There was a bit of traffic on the way, and your brother just finished work."

"It's okay, I arrived too early," Sienna smiled slightly, then invited Mrs. King and Mario to take their

seats, saying, "I've already ordered the dishes, do you see anything else you want to eat?"

Sienna handed the menu to Mrs. King, who added two more dishes, while Mario didn't even take the

menu, just saying, "You and mom can order."

Sienna didn't say much more, and while waiting for the food to arrive, Mrs. King glanced lightly at

Sienna. Their eyes met, and Mrs. King gently spoke, "Sienna, I'm glad you made it to the finals. I'm

sure you're busy preparing for the final competition, right?"

"Yes, it's a bit busy. The competition in the finals is tough, so there's a lot to prepare for."

"You've worked hard. Since you're participating, give it your all, but also take care of yourself."

"Yes, I know, Mom, you don't have to worry about me." Sienna looked at Mrs. King with a light smile,

and Mrs. King nodded with a smile.

In fact, as long as it didn't involve Mario, Mrs. King was quite good to Sienna.

After Mrs. King finished speaking to Sienna, Mario also spoke up, "Don't put too much pressure on

yourself."

"Yes, I know," Sienna replied faintly.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

At this time, the food arrived, and the three of them started eating without continuing the conversation.

The atmosphere of the meal was very plain, with most of the time spent chatting between Mrs. King

and Sienna, while Mario only occasionally interjected with one or two sentences, with little other

conversation.

After about an hour of eating, everyone was full, and the waiter brought fruit and tea. The three of them

sat aside and chatted.

But before they could start a conversation, Mrs. King's phone suddenly rang.

She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and said, "I'll take this call."

Mrs. King went to the balcony of the private room to answer the phone, leaving only Sienna and Mario

inside.

Facing each other across the table, separated by a coffee table, they looked at each other.

Sienna had no intention of speaking, so Mario had to speak first, "Sienna, why are you so distant

towards me? This isn't how it should be between us."

Sienna frowned and said calmly, "I don't understand what you mean by those words."

Mario said, "If it weren't for Mom being here today, you wouldn't have agreed to have this meal with me,

right?"

Sienna didn't deny it, but instead met his gaze and asked calmly, "Yes, I wouldn't have agreed, after all,

there's no need for us to have a meal together, and I don't think there's anything that requires us to

meet in private."

Sienna's coldness and detachment were enough to be obvious, and Mario's face immediately became

unsightly.

He kept a straight face, looking particularly cold, with a hint of warmth in his eyes as he said, "Sienna,

do you have to force me?"

"How am I forcing you? I haven't done anything. I'm just stating the facts. If you think I'm forcing you,

then I can't help it."

"Is it also Rex's doing, right? Is he the one forbidding us from contacting each other?"

"I don't understand why you have to involve others. Even without Rex, I would still treat you the same

way." Sienna was direct in her speech, giving Mario no room to breathe. She continued, "I also hope

you won't be like Preston. You know Preston, you know what a repulsive man he is."

Just as Mario's words fell, Mrs. King returned from the balcony where she took the call.

Although she could tell from their expressions that an unpleasant conversation had just occurred, she

pretended not to notice and said with a smile, "A friend's daughter has come to Hance City and called

me to take care of her since she knows I'm in Hance City. Do you two have time later? Accompany me

to pick out a gift for her, and I also need to reserve an extra room at the hotel for her to stay in Hance

City for a while."

After Mrs. King explained in detail, she looked at Sienna and asked, "Sienna, will you accompany

Mom?"

Sienna was also taken aback, seeing the probing and hopeful look in Mrs. King's eyes, she nodded

along.

Mrs. King smiled instantly, very happy, and then looked at Mario, "Mario, is everything okay on your

end?"

Seeing Sienna agreeing, Mario, of course, nodded along.

Seeing the cooperation between the two, Mrs. King was quite happy, her smile hard to conceal, even

drinking an extra two cups of tea.

Due to time constraints, the three of them left without sitting in the private room any longer.

They didn't need to pay for the meal, they simply signed Rex's name, after all, it was his restaurant.

Sienna had driven herself there, originally planning to have Rex pick her up after the meal. But now,

she had to meet Mrs. King's friend's daughter, so she couldn't go home yet. Sienna told Rex the final

destination and asked him to come to the hotel to pick her up later.

Rex didn't ask why, he simply agreed.

The three of them left the restaurant, with Sienna inviting Mrs. King to ride in her car, while Mario drove

another car. The two cars headed to the largest nearby mall, with an unusually quiet atmosphere inside

the car.

Sienna broke the silence by asking, "Mom, is your friend's daughter planning to be introduced to my

brother?" Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm

Sienna knew Mrs. King's intention, and Mario could also guess a bit, but he still agreed to go along with

Mrs. King's plan. It was just that Sienna also had to go, so he was willing to cooperate.

When Mrs. King mentioned Jillian, a smile couldn't help but appear on her face. It was clear that she

really liked Jillian and was very satisfied with Jillian being with Mario.
