CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313: SLOWLY GETTING ALONG WITH HIM

"Since Chloe is not home, you can sleep here tonight." Landon Lawson spoke slowly, considering her current condition might cause problems if she went back. It would be better for her to rest here.

Sienna Quinn furrowed her lovely brows, "Why?"

"Because you’re still my wife!"

Dominant, overbearing, unreasonable.

All these words are labels for Landon Lawson. Sienna bit her lip, looking at the tightly shut door. She knew she wouldn’t be able to leave today without Landon’s permission.

Feeling waves of weakness, Sienna could hardly make it back home. She huffed coldly and turned back to the room arranged for her. Since Landon wouldn’t let her return to the old house, she might as well take medicine and have a good sleep.

Landon gazed deeply in the direction of the second floor, pondering something unknown.

After a long while, he took his coat and left, driving away without a backward glance.

When Sienna woke up again, it was already one in the afternoon.

She stretched lazily, feeling much lighter.

She measured her temperature, 37.3 degrees. Good, it seemed the fever had gone down substantially. The doctor told her that as long as the fever subsided, there was no problem.

Indeed, eating and sleeping are the best ways to recuperate the body.

Sienna felt quite cheerful as she walked downstairs, only to see a line of people outside, looking like household staff.

"Who are these people..." Sienna looked at the butler with confusion.

The butler smiled kindly and said, "According to the young master’s request, these are the new servants I’ve hired. They’ll be taking care of you from now on."

Sienna was taken aback. The butler’s efficiency was really something, but why did they need to take care of her?

"I don’t live here, why would they need to take care of me?"

Seeing the confusion on Sienna’s face, the old butler chuckled softly, a hint of affection in his eyes: "The young master arranged it."

Sienna blushed. Landon Lawson... doing this, could it be because of her?

The old butler had a smile in his eyes. Having lived long, he saw more clearly than the young ones.

These two young people really know how to make things complicated.

"Miss Quinn, you have always been our young mistress."

"I..." Sienna blushed again, a gentle blush that was extremely beautiful.

Even the old butler was stunned for a moment, seriously stroking his chin.

They all said Vera Yates was stunning, but truly, his own young lady was more beautiful than any woman on screen. It’s just that Sienna never pursued that path.

"Miss Quinn, these are the new staff. Please have a look." The old butler said as he brought everyone over for Sienna to see.

"This is Miss Quinn. From now on, you must take good care of her," the old butler told the staff.

"Hello, Miss Quinn." The staff greeted politely.

Sienna smiled, blushing, "There’s no need to be so formal, everyone."

Standing in front of everyone, Sienna felt a bit out of place compared to the new staff.

She was not a pampered princess by nature. This time, it was merely thanks to Landon’s generosity that she played the part of a formidable wife. However... how long could she remain this formidable, titular wife?

This man, after all, was intent on how to divorce her.

Sienna clenched her small fists tightly. If he had already thought of divorcing her, why was he doing all this?

The staff, seeing Sienna’s easygoing demeanor, were much relieved. They had been worried about the demanding reputation of the Lawson Conglomerate before coming.

Under the "service" of the staff, Sienna had another sumptuous lunch. After getting dressed, she planned to leave, only to be stopped by the old butler again.

"Miss Quinn, where are you going?"

"I must go to work."

Sienna paused for a moment.

Only to see the old butler smile and say, "Before the young master left, he specifically instructed me to take good care of Miss Quinn and never let you go to work."

"Not let me work?"

Sienna frowned. Was Landon planning to keep her under house arrest? Landon’s recent actions baffled Sienna more and more. Ever since Landon got injured by a gunshot, his entire demeanor had turned unpredictable.

Undecided, yet now keeping her at the Lawson family home, this alone left Sienna even more puzzled.

"Why? In a lawful society, does Landon think he can put me under house arrest?"

Sienna’s face was cold. Her character was no longer as weak and incompetent as it used to be.

The old butler stroked his chin and said, "Miss Quinn, actually the young master saw you were ill and specifically instructed the kitchen to brew ginger tea to ensure you’re well taken care of."

"Ginger tea?"

Sienna was stunned.

"Indeed, Miss Quinn, your complexion isn’t great, and the young master noticed."

"Landon Lawson noticed."

Sienna pursed her lips, her gaze complicated. Although she had taken medicine, her body still occasionally felt bouts of weakness. Placing her small hand on her stomach, sensing the life growing inside her, her expression finally softened a bit.

Turning, she headed back to her room.

After Landon left the villa, there was no more news of him, nor did Sienna deliberately inquire about his whereabouts. She just wanted to recover well and nurture the little life.

And so, Sienna stayed in the villa for four whole days.

On the fourth day, Landon finally returned to the villa, leaving Sienna dumbfounded.

Sienna watched Landon leisurely sip tea in the living room, her eyebrow twitching uncontrollably. This man was truly beyond her comprehension.

Yet Landon sat there, having clearly seen Sienna come down, still with an expressionless face, as if he hadn’t seen her at all.

Landon observed Sienna from the corner of his eye; her illness was cured, and she was lively again.

Seeing her in this state, Landon felt reassured, subtly lifting the corner of his mouth. It seemed she had been living well in his absence.

Though the servants cooked and cleaned for Sienna, she simply couldn’t get used to such a lifestyle, so after two days of "enjoyment," she decided to end it.

Since becoming pregnant, she ate very little, got hungry quickly, and craved strange things, so Sienna often cooked for herself.

Checking her phone, it was only ten in the morning. Though she had breakfast, her stomach was still growling. After much hesitation, Sienna decided to head to the kitchen to make something to eat.

At this time, the staff, understanding the situation, waited outside, because Landon was very particular about his surroundings and didn’t like others wandering around while he was resting. Hence, Butler Lawson repeatedly instructed the staff not to disturb the "two-person space" of Landon and Sienna.

Sienna tiptoed towards the kitchen. Passing by Landon’s spot, she unconsciously glanced at him twice. She wondered, at this time, a normal person shouldn’t be hungry, right? She wasn’t about to awkwardly ask if he wanted something to eat as well.

Arriving in the kitchen, she opened the fridge and chose fresh spinach and cauliflower, planning to sauté some vegetables.

She knew from her previous pregnancy with Evan Quinn that pregnant women should avoid spicy foods, so spicy ingredients were off the table. A fan of spicy food, Sienna now had to settle for a bland diet.
