The Wrong Woman
Chapter 727

Sienna arrived at Daniel's house on her electric scooter. Glancing at the midday sun, she wondered if Daniel would be at work by now. Feeling like she might be early, she hesitated at the entrance. Eventually, she decided to turn her scooter around, thinking she should leave. Just as she was about to go, Daniel opened the door and stepped out. After spotting Sienna, he quickly caught up to her and called out, "Sienna." Sienna stopped her scooter and turned to look at him.

Daniel seemed excited as he hurried to her side, his eyes warm and his voice gentle. "What brings you here?"

Sienna instantly lost her courage upon seeing him. Nervously, she asked, "Aren't you supposed to be at work?"

"I'm off today," Daniel replied. Unsure of where to rest his hands, he eventually shoved them into his pockets.

Sienna's shyness made it difficult for her to look him in the eyes. Whenever they were together, she felt a peculiar romantic tension building up inside her, leaving her nervous and unsure about how to act. "Are you heading out?" Sienna asked.

Without hesitation, Daniel replied, "No, I don't have any plans. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

Sienna glanced back at his house, feeling another wave of nervousness. Images from their last encounter flashed through her mind, causing her cheeks to flush uncontrollably.

"I just have one question for you, then I'll leave," Sienna said.

Daniel felt a twinge of sadness knowing she would go as soon as she got her answer. In the days following their breakup, this was the first time Sienna had reached out to him. He glanced at the sky and remarked, "The sun's pretty intense. It's quite hot out here."

Sienna couldn't help but follow his gaze to find the sunlight dazzling above.

Was Daniel worried about getting a tan? She glanced at his healthy complexion. He usually didn't avoid the sun, did he?

After a brief consideration, Sienna parked her electric scooter to the side. She switched it off, grabbed her keys and bag, and made her way over to him.

Daniel flashed a smile, and they headed toward the house together. On their way, he pulled out his phone and quickly typed a message to Finley.

"Vivian got her hands on Clement's incriminating evidence. Go and pick it up. I've got a busy day ahead so no interruptions."

After sending the message, Daniel switched off his phone.

Once indoors, Sienna dropped her backpack, brushed off her shoes, and entered with a hint of unease.

Daniel made his way to the refrigerator in the kitchen while Sienna settled onto the couch. She felt increasingly nervous as she thought about how to start the conversation. Sitting on the couch in the living room brought back memories, especially of the last time she was there-the night she nearly slept with Daniel. She couldn't help but blush at the memory.

Daniel seemed to have completely forgotten about the incident. He never seemed awkward. Instead, he was always composed and calm.

Sienna found this peculiar. Why was she still bothered by the incident while Daniel seemed unfazed? Did men and women think so differently?

Daniel's voice broke her train of thought. "Sienna, would you like milk or juice?"

Sienna turned to him. "Do you have water?"

"Yes," Daniel replied. He walked over with a bottle of mineral water, fetched a glass, poured her some, and handed it to her.

Sienna accepted it with both hands. Her fingers inadvertently grazed against Daniel's as she did so. Her heart quickened, and she felt a flutter of nerves. Avoiding his gaze, she felt her cheeks grow warm.

Daniel couldn't help but notice Sienna's shy demeanor and the flush coloring her cheeks. He wondered if it was the sunlight just now or if she was recalling something embarrassing that had occurred in this very spot.

He eased himself onto the nearby single couch and slowly set down the bottle of mineral water.

Sienna quenched her thirst with a sip of water.

"Are you feeling hot?" Daniel asked. He took out the remote control to switch on the air conditioning.
