The Wrong Woman
Chapter 785

Sienna stepped out of the car, her eyes sweeping over the red and yellow leaves scattered across the ground. She looked up at the long-missed sight of the house. Daniel unloaded the luggage and came to stand beside her. "Let's go inside. The code and fingerprint haven't changed."

Sienna walked up to the door and pressed her fingerprint against the reader. With a soft click, the door unlocked. She pushed the door open.

The spacious living room was bright and airy, unchanged from how she had arranged it. It was still warm and welcoming.

However, there were a few new touches-several bouquets of fresh flowers and a large, newly-acquired green plant added vibrancy to the room. The living room felt alive.

"I'll take the luggage to the room. You can sit for a bit," Daniel said, lifting the suitcase toward the master bedroom.

Sienna turned and grabbed the handle of her suitcase. "I can handle it myself."

Daniel paused, then let go and handed it over to her.

Dragging her suitcase and carrying her handbag, Sienna headed toward the guest bedroom-the room she had once slept in.

Daniel opened his mouth to speak, but the words caught in his throat. He hesitated, then closed his mouth without uttering a word.

Since they weren't married, it made sense for her to sleep in the guest bedroom. It was just one more day. He wasn't in a hurry.

Sienna unpacked her suitcase, hung her clothes in the closet, and arranged her belongings. She scanned the room, feeling a surge of inexplicable happiness.

The sensation of being home washed over her. Her heart no longer felt like a piece of duckweed drifting aimlessly on a lake.

Sienna stepped out of the room to find Daniel sitting on the living room couch, engrossed in some documents.

Hearing her footsteps, he looked up and gave her a tender smile. "Come here for a moment. I have something to discuss with you."

Sienna walked over and sat on the armchair next to him.

Daniel's gaze deepened slightly as he patted the space beside him. "Sit next to me."

Feeling slightly anxious, Sienna hesitated briefly before sitting beside him.

Daniel handed her the documents he was holding and leaned in closer. "I need your help choosing a few maids for the house."

Sienna glanced down at the documents Daniel had handed her. They contained personnel details.

One cook to hire. Two housekeepers to hire. One gardener to hire. One driver to hire. Two security assistants to hire.

She noticed that there were over a dozen candidates listed for each position.

Sienna looked at him, puzzled and a bit uneasy. "It's just the two of us in this house. Do we really need to hire so many people?"

Daniel nodded.

She gestured toward the security assistants. "What are they for?"

"They're your bodyguards and assistants," Daniel explained.

Sienna gave a helpless smile. "That's unnecessary. I'm just an ordinary person. Why would I need bodyguards and assistants?"

"I don't want you to worry about housework, so housekeepers and a cook are essential. You can't drive, and Ddon't feel comfortable with you going out alone.

"Having a driver and bodyguards will make me feel more at ease when you go out," Daniel responded.

Sienna glanced down at the

documents in her hand once more.

She had once considered marrying

into Daniel's wealthy family just for the money and the luxurious lifestyle.

However, old habits die hard, and she couldn't adapt to such extravagance all at once. Her true nature was beginning to show.

After closing the documents, she said, "Let's just keep a cook and one housekeeper. We don't need the others."

Daniel gave her a gentle smile. Though it pained him to see her reaction, he respected her decisions. Her happiness was all that mattered.

"Okay," Daniel said, retrieving another document from under the coffee table and handing it to Sienna.

Sienna glanced at the documents in his hand and paused slightly. "What are these?"

"My financial statements."

"But we're not married yet."

Daniel's tone was light. "I've booked an appointment for tomorrow morning."

Sienna hesitated for a few seconds before taking the documents and starting to read.

Ignorance had been bliss. Before

seeing the documents, the gap in

their final status hadn't seemed

so vast. But as she read, her mood turned somber.

She had already felt inferior, but now she felt it even more.
