CHAPTER 367: CHAPTER 367: NO WAY, KEEP DREAMING

Sienna Quinn patted Evan Quinn’s head and said with a smile, "Then Mommy will prepare a little more fatty meat for Chloe to eat. Chloe, don’t be upset, okay?"

Hearing Sienna say this, Evan Quinn was so happy that he danced around, but he hadn’t forgotten that he was still sulking with Sienna.

"Mommy, other kids are picked up by their mommies after school. Why haven’t you come to pick me up recently? Chloe even asked me about you. I feel so lonely. Can you come to pick me up after school too?"

Evan Quinn said disappointedly.

Sienna already felt very guilty, and when she heard Evan say this, she felt even more heartbroken for him.

"Chloe, it’s been Mommy’s fault for this time. I promise you, whenever I have time in the future, I’ll pick you up from school, just like your little friends, okay?"

"Really? Then when will you have time?"

Evan asked persistently, clinging to the question.

Sienna thought seriously and said, "Then Mommy will definitely pick you up from school every Friday at least, okay?"

"Okay!"

Evan agreed readily, something was better than nothing, and he was content.

At the dinner table, Evan ate heartily, having not been this happy in a long time.

With a good mood, his appetite naturally improved, and soon, the dishes he liked were almost gone.

After being full, Evan started to chatter, "Mommy, Ms. Thornton told me you’ve been busy helping Uncle Yates recently. He isn’t a good person, so why do you always help him with stuff?"

Whenever Felix Orwell was mentioned, Evan’s expression wasn’t very pleasant.

Sienna felt a bit helpless seeing Evan worry about her affairs, "Evan, just focus on your studies, and leave Mommy’s matters to Mommy to handle, don’t worry about it."

"Mommy, I have the right to know. There are two kids in my class whose parents are divorced, and they say their step-parents don’t treat them well. I’m scared... so you and Daddy must maintain a good relationship."

Sienna hugged Evan tightly, "Chloe, don’t be scared. You have to trust Mommy. The person Mommy loves the most is you. No matter what, Mommy will always protect you well."

Evan completely trusted Sienna’s words.

But on that day at the Warren family, he saw how those people bullied Sienna, so he believed that Sienna marrying Axel Yates wouldn’t bring her happiness.

Just then, the door suddenly opened.

Sienna was startled because only she and Evan were at home tonight. Chiara was busy with company matters, and Felix also wasn’t coming home as he was busy too.

She quickly turned her head towards the door, where a lavishly dressed lady entered. Sienna knew this person very well; someone with a key to Axel Yates’s villa wouldn’t be a stranger. It was Mrs. Warren, Axel Yates’s later-supported mother who had come.

Sienna hurried from the living room to the door and nervously greeted Mrs. Warren, "Auntie, you’re here!"

Mrs. Warren wore a gentle smile, "Why wouldn’t I be welcome? It seems like you’re getting more and more temperamental now. Don’t I get to see you?"

"No, Auntie, I didn’t mean that."

Although Mrs. Warren wasn’t kind-hearted, her attitude this time was significantly different from the last time.

The last time, Mrs. Warren was playing nice because Axel was present and she didn’t want things to become too strained.

This time, having nothing to hold back, she spoke her mind freely.

Mrs. Warren walked in with an air of arrogance, directly sat on the couch, and looked at Sienna with a face full of pride, "I’ve always wanted to talk to you, but Dylan said you’ve been busy helping Axel deal with company matters recently? Well, now that you’re done, we should have a direct talk."

Evan, hiding behind Sienna, stared wide-eyed in fear at Mrs. Warren, and Sienna patted his head and said, "Chloe, you should go back to your room and watch cartoons first."

Evan nodded and waddled his way upstairs.

Then Sienna slowly spoke, "Auntie, I can tell you don’t like me being with Axel. But Axel and I have been friends for many years, and we can’t possibly just cut contact. Of course, if you insist on driving me away, I have no choice."

"What a joke! Sienna, I didn’t expect you to be such a shameless woman! How dare you utter such words today! I don’t know what means you used to keep Axel pining after you, but if you have any conscience at all, you shouldn’t harm our Axel! What you’re doing is biting the hand that feeds you!"

Mrs. Warren, neglecting her image, began to insult Sienna harshly.

She breathed heavily, the fire in her heart not diminishing a bit.

"You’re divorced, and you have a child, and more importantly, you offended the Lawson family. What right do you have to be with Axel? If not for Axel back then, you might still be begging in France. Now, you just came back to the country and moved into his apartment. What? Do you think stealing a march by giving birth to a child for him will let you into my Warren family’s door? I’m telling you, that will never happen in this lifetime!"

To Mrs. Warren’s accusations, Sienna didn’t rush to argue. She accepted that what Mrs. Warren said was true—she had selfishly wasted Axel’s youth for many years and carelessly tarnished his reputation.

She admitted to those things, but she would never admit to Mrs. Warren’s claim that she intended to use her child to elevate her status by entering the Warren family.

"Auntie, I know I’m not the daughter-in-law you envisioned, but I’m not as awful as you say. Axel is an upright gentleman, and we have never done anything disrespectful. The reason I live in his apartment is because I had nowhere else to go, and the city company’s arrangement out of sympathy. President Yates was kind enough to take in us mother and child, and just for this kindness, I will remember it for a lifetime."

Sienna’s gaze was icy cold. She owed Axel a lot, but that didn’t mean she could silently endure Mrs. Warren’s insults and lies.

Mrs. Warren was further angered by Sienna’s words, "Ha, nowhere to go? But there’s still Landon Lawson, isn’t there? His wealth alone is enough for your sister to spend her entire life lavishly. Yet you insist on sticking around here; do you think I don’t know what you’re up to? Sienna, don’t try to portray yourself as noble. Simply put, you’re just a high-priced call girl!"

Upon hearing those words, Sienna was completely devastated. Not only did the words hurt her dignity, but they also shattered her last bit of hope for Axel.

Angry, she turned to leave. There was nothing left to say to Mrs. Warren.

Though she was a senior, Sienna couldn’t argue back. As the host of the house, she couldn’t drive a guest away. In that case, the only one who could leave was her!

Seeing Sienna get angry, Mrs. Warren shouted loudly at her back, "If you know what’s good for you, you’d better move out today and never dream of stepping into my Warren family’s door! Don’t even think about it!"
