CHAPTER 357: CHAPTER 357: WARREN FAMILY

"Why feel guilty? This was supposed to be you helping me." Axel Yates said with great anticipation, especially since they were truly going to become a family in the future.

Yes, his love was about to bear fruit; he was soon going to have the woman he loved. To avenge his own parents, the woman he protected for so many years had finally accepted his proposal. How could he not be happy?

Sienna Quinn observed Axel’s excitement, yet her heart was filled with bitterness. It would be wonderful if things could go as smoothly as he said...

The car twisted and turned, finally arriving at the parking lot of a villa.

After getting off the car, Axel Yates thoughtfully opened the car door for Sienna Quinn and Evan Quinn, then he happily carried the gifts and led Sienna towards the hall.

Technically, it was the "daughter-in-law’s" first time meeting the in-laws, yet Sienna wasn’t nervous at all, as if she were meeting some ordinary clients.

Sienna looked at the familiar courtyard of the villa and the plane tree, feeling deeply touched.

Time changes, people change, yet these scenes last longer than the feelings between people...

Unexpectedly, Axel Yates had moved the elderly he cared for into his old home. Although he hadn’t been to the old home before, Axel showed him photos of it once—a happy family of three under one roof. But now, things were no longer the same. The barriers between worlds separated them.

It seems these elders were truly important to Axel Yates.

Axel turned back and saw Sienna in a daze. Following her gaze, he saw the plane tree, and with a smile, he said, "When I was a kid, I loved climbing trees, often competing with friends to see who could climb faster. But one time, I accidentally fell from the tree, crying loudly from the pain. My dad scolded me severely, threatening to chop down the tree. It was only after I cried and pleaded, promising never to climb trees again, that he didn’t cut it down."

Sienna smiled faintly, "Actually, your father was really good to you. If they hadn’t had that accident, they must’ve been kindhearted elders now."

Sienna accompanied Axel reminiscing childhood stories, an unusual calmness from Axel accompanying them.

Axel smiled warmly, "Thank you for listening to me. Just now, in that brief moment, was probably the happiest time I’ve had recently."

Sienna giggled, "But it’s just a small thing, and you make it seem so grand. Saying it like this makes me quite anxious. Remember, you are my boss."

"Is our relationship only work-related? You should know I have other thoughts about you," Axel teased deliberately.

This harmonious atmosphere made Sienna’s face turn red, refraining from directly responding to Axel’s topic.

At that moment, Axel seemed to revert to someone she once knew. This feeling was really nice.

While they were talking, a plump middle-aged man with gleaming polished shoes approached from the hall.

He saw Sienna bringing Evan and his gaze twinkled before greeting her.

"Miss Quinn, you’re here, welcome, welcome. And this must be your baby, hello, little one."

Evan looked up at Sienna, waiting for her to introduce him.

But Sienna didn’t know this man either and cast her gaze towards Axel.

Axel cheerfully introduced, "This is the biological son of those elders, you can call him Dylan Warren."

Sienna smiled while hugging Evan, "Hello, Warren, this is Evan Quinn, your uncle."

"Hello, uncle." Evan said politely.

Dylan Warren nodded with a smile, saying "So good," but as he carefully observed Evan’s face, his heart grew apprehensive, feeling that the child looked oddly familiar.

This child—it seemed like he was carved from the same mold as Landon Lawson on TV.

But as an adult, he knew there were things he couldn’t ask recklessly.

Sienna asked in some confusion, "Warren, how did you know me?"

"My brother used to talk about you the most. I suppose the woman he brings home must be you and no one else," Dylan Warren said with a grin before turning to Axel.

"Mom and Dad are waiting for you, we should hurry over," Dylan proposed.

Axel flashed a smile at Sienna, then the four of them continued towards the hall.

In the hall, they saw an elderly couple sitting on the sofa, with indifferent expressions, not like they were waiting to meet their future daughter-in-law.

In truth, they had no mood to greet Sienna as their son’s fiancée.

A few days ago, Dylan had informed them that Axel would bring his girlfriend home, which made them very happy. They thought Axel, single for years, finally opened his heart, finally planning to marry.

But unexpectedly, Dylan told them they knew the person—Sienna Quinn, frequently featured on magazine covers.

Mr. Warren and Mrs. Warren nearly flew into a rage upon hearing it. When Sienna and Landon Lawson were going through a divorce, the entire A City knew.

A divorced woman with a child, how could she enter their family?

When they saw the news, they discussed for quite a while, wondering which unfortunate family would marry such a woman. Since her return, the controversies have been unending.

Though the Yates Family doesn’t wield as much influence in A City as the Lawson Family, sustaining three ordinary people would still be an easy task.

Even more so, the Warren Family was a clear and respectable family.

Even though Axel wasn’t their biological son, he was like one to them. Though society today is quite open, they still couldn’t accept such a daughter-in-law.

Moreover, Axel was a young talent, becoming the president of the Yates Group at such a young age, successfully operating the company with his hard work.

So, such an outstanding Axel choosing Sienna, a woman discarded by others, was simply inconceivable!

They were infuriated, yet Dylan told them Axel’s feelings for Sienna were sincere and detailed.

No matter how reluctant they were, Axel’s love for Sienna meant they had to meet with her.

Sienna wore a gentle smile as she held Evan’s hand, walking beside Axel into the villa’s living room.

Seeing Mr. Warren and Mrs. Warren looking stern, Sienna felt something amiss but braced herself and said, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt, I’m Sienna Quinn."

The Warren parents looked stern, and hearing Sienna’s words, they harbored stewing resentment, unable to vent it right then. Mrs. Warren, seeing Axel’s hopeful eyes, finally relented.

"Miss Quinn, we certainly remember you. Previously, I seem to have seen you on the cover of a magazine. If I recall correctly, it should have been a gossip entertainment magazine. I never imagined our first meeting would happen here," Mrs. Warren forced a smile, sparing Sienna awkwardness.
