The Wrong Woman

When a man says "I love you" in the middle of the night, was it a sincere confession, or was he just after her body?

Sienna was in a state of heightened tension. If he tried to kiss her or take off her clothes, she would tell him she wasn't feeling well and that she was still sore down there. "Next time," she blurted out.

The response was sudden and baffling.

Sienna felt utterly awkward afterward.

Daniel was momentarily stunned before letting out a chuckle. He kissed her forehead and murmured softly, "Next time for what? Let me love you for the next time?"

Sienna felt embarrassed and speechless. She couldn't help but want to laugh. She buried herself in his embrace, with her hand slowly reaching up to his solid chest. She said, "I feel like sleeping."

After kissing her forehead, Daniel said, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight," Sienna replied before closing her eyes.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

That night was tender and peaceful. The thing Sienna feared didn't happen.

From that day on, Daniel was always with her.

He accompanied her for every meal, joined her in her morning exercises, and helped her tend the garden. He watched boring, time-consuming movies with her and did whatever she wanted. "Don't you get bored?" Sienna asked one day.

Daniel replied, "As long as it's something you want to do, I'll never get bored."

Sienna felt like she had found happiness again. She began to feel a sense of belonging and gradually got used to being Daniel's wife.

A week later, an unexpected guest arrived at their home.

The moment Sienna saw her, she felt an inexplicable sense of nervousness and unease.

She had seen Linsey before when she was taking care of Daniel.

After Lindsey got off the plane, she came straight to Maple Abode. She looked travel-worn. The moment she saw Sienna, her face turned pale and extremely unpleasant.

"Lindsey," Sienna greeted politely.

Lindsey ignored her. She asked angrily, "Where's Daniel? Tell him to come out. I'm so angry. I just got off the plane and heard such ridiculous news."

"Are there no more women left in

this world? The least he could do et

was marry someone of equal social standing. Out of all the brothers, he's the one who married the worst.

"It's okay if she's from the countryside, but she's an orphan, and her brother is also in jail. How disgusting.

"The Morrisons are a prestigious family, with Nathan being a general. He's a police officer, a paragon of justice, yet he brings home someone like this?" Lindsey ranted like a shrew.

As Sienna listened quietly, she began to feel terrible.

Suddenly, the Morrison family members rushed inside her home.

Wendy, Cheryl and Florence hurriedly tried to pull Lindsey away. They persuaded her to stop causing a scene and leave.

Florence was furious. "Lindsey, that's enough," she snapped. "This is my son's business. It's none of your concern."

Lindsey shook off Florence's hand.

Pointing at her, she said, "It's

because of mothers like you that Daniel is a degenerate. Are all the women in this world dead?

"Why did he marry someone with such a poor background? She doesn't deserve Daniel. Also, her brother is a criminal. The insanity!" Sienna's face turned pale. She had always been self-conscious. Being berated by Lindsey like this only made her feel even worse.

Although Wendy had warned her not to mind Lindsey, she couldn't help but take her words to heart.

Wendy came to Sienna's side. She comforted her in a low voice, "Sienna, don't take it to heart. She only comes home once a year. Just ignore her."

Lindsey overheard Wendy's words. Immediately, she pointed at her and asked angrily, "Wendy, what do you mean by ignoring me? Say it again if you have the guts."

Wendy retorted, "Lindsey, you've just come back. Could you calm down a bit? Daniel likes Sienna enough to marry her. There's nothing you can do about it."
