The Wrong Woman
Chapter 722

Sienna made her way to Felix's room with the bags in her hands.

Daniel swapped his shoes for indoor slippers before stepping inside. He took in the surroundings of her home. Despite being slightly cramped and showing signs of wear, it was impeccably clean and tidy. The kitchen opened directly onto the dining area, adjacent to the living room. The modest couch in the living room could accommodate only three people comfortably.

An old-fashioned TV and a small refrigerator tucked into the corner added to the crowded feel of the layout. "Daniel's here?" Shelly appeared from the kitchen with dishes in hand, her face lit up with a warm smile.

She invited him inside enthusiastically, "Come, take a seat. I'll wrap up the last two dishes, and we'll be ready to eat."

Her cheerful greeting left Daniel pleasantly surprised. He asked politely, "Mrs. Lawson, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Don't worry about it. Just grab a seat, have some coffee, and catch up with Sienna. These kitchen chores are too small for you to bother with," Shelly said hurriedly.

Daniel was confused by Shelly's suggestion to catch up with Sienna. The unexpected warmth of the welcome caught him off guard.

Felix wasted no time inviting Daniel to sit on the living room couch and brew a cup of coffee for him. Then, Felix handed over the remote control, asking, "Would you like to watch TV?" "No, thank you." Daniel declined.

However, Felix turned on the TV anyway, out of habit. He switched it to the sports channel and remarked, "Sienna's always into dramas. When she's home, I never get to touch the remote." "It's part of her job." Daniel smiled gently.

Intrigued, Felix asked, "Did you know she's a writer too?"

Daniel nodded, admiration evident in his eyes.

"She wrote a love story about a cop, but sadly, it ends tragically. Still, it's reassuring that the book got published."

Daniel lifted his coffee cup, but halfway to his lips, he stopped abruptly. He found himself unable to take a sip.

Meanwhile, Sienna was in the room tidying up Felix's clothes. Upon hearing Felix's words, she stormed out in anger. "Felix, do you even know how to have a conversation? If not, then just keep quiet." Daniel slowly looked up at Sienna. Though her irritation made her look cute to Daniel, Felix found it rather intimidating.

Nervously, Felix sipped his coffee and tried to be composed while glued to the TV screen. He didn't dare utter a word.

When Sienna met Daniel's intense gaze, she suddenly felt guilty. A year ago, she wrote a book while working as a caregiver at Daniel's house, and the main character was based on him. "What's your pen name?" Daniel asked, noticing Sienna's nervousness.

Back then, she had already begun imagining Daniel as the main character. There were even some scenes she couldn't put into words. Sienna didn't want to reveal her pen name, and she couldn't. If Daniel were to read that book, she'd be too embarrassed to face him.

As Felix tried to speak, Sienna shot him a glare and pointed at him sternly.

Felix quickly shut his mouth and stayed quiet.

"Food's ready," Shelly called out, untying her apron and approaching them.

Sensing the tension in the air, she added, "Daniel's still around. Can you both try to get along?"

Sienna glared at Felix before heading to the dining table.

Feeling awkward, Shelly told Daniel, who was standing up, "Sienna isn't usually like this. It's usually Felix who gets on her nerves." Felix looked innocently at them.

Daniel smiled in return, genuinely fond of Sienna for who she truly was. Over the past year or so, he had seen her in every mood under her care. When Sienna was at her most fiery mood, she resembled a lioness. And Daniel, in turn, was just as commanding and powerful as a lion.
