The Wrong Woman
Chapter 639

Mila's sympathy for Daniel deepened as she took a seat. "Daniel, if you don't grab this opportunity now, who knows if another one will come along."

Daniel shook his head. "There wasn't much of an opportunity to begin with."

Sighing, Mila muttered, "I wonder if that guy with Sienna is a blind date or her boyfriend. I'm not sure what to say to her either."

"Did Phoebe only invite Sienna?" Daniel asked.

"Yeah."

"Isn't that telling?"

"Telling of what?"

Daniel tried to hide his disappointment behind a fake smile. "She brought her boyfriend along to join in the excitement. Then, she would reveal that she's getting married soon, right before you and Phoebe. Naturally, that would dash any hope I had."

Mila felt even more sympathetic. "Daniel, why are you so negative? You used to be different. What happened to your confidence and open-mindedness?"

Daniel reached for his phone and pressed the call button for the driver. "Wanda, please apologize to Phoebe and Cole on my behalf. I'm not feeling well, so I need to leave early."

"What's wrong, Daniel?" Mila offered him support as they rose from their seats.

Daniel remained silent. As the driver arrived, he took Daniel's arm and helped him leave.

Sienna and her younger brother, Felix Lawson, stood at the roadside, waiting for a taxi. Sienna appeared gloomy, while Felix was bursting with excitement.

"Sienna, I thought you were just exaggerating. I never imagined you actually knew so many important people. Even the wealthiest guy in Norvania and General Morrison from the military base is here! "Meeting all these VIPS makes my life feel complete. Since we're already here and we've given the gift, why not stick around for the banquet? Do you realize how rare this chance is?

"I could potentially leap into success if I get to know just one big shot inside. Sienna, are you even listening to me?" Felix exclaimed.

Sienna shook herself from her reverie and asked, "Has the taxi arrived?"

Felix glanced at the approaching taxi. "Yep, it's here."

As the vehicle came to a halt, Felix hopped inside. Just as Sienna was about to move forward, she caught a voice. "Mr. Morrison, the vehicle is just about five steps ahead." She halted, turning to see Daniel brushing past her.

He wasn't leaning on a cane. The driver was offering his arm, and Daniel walked steadily and confidently. Though months had gone by, he still carried his charisma.

Perhaps due to attending the wedding, he was dressed impeccably in a sharp suit and polished shoes, emanating elegance and poise. The sunlight enveloped his sturdy form, casting a brilliant glow around him.

A delicate and pleasant smell hung in the air as Daniel walked past. It reminded Sienna of a year ago.

"Daniel, you smell really good. Are you wearing cologne?" Sienna asked.

"Do you like it?"

"It smells amazing. I like it."

"You can have it."

"Oh gosh! I just looked up the price. It's 80 thousand dollars for a small bottle. I can't afford that." "Don't worry about it. It's a gift for you."

"I can't accept it. You're extravagant even though you live alone. Why do you even wear cologne?"

"Because you're still here with me, aren't you?"

Even after a long while, Sienna still smiled at the memory.

"Sienna, are you getting in or not?" Felix called out.

Sienna shook off her thoughts and hurried into the taxi.

Meanwhile, Daniel paused by his car.

"Mr. Morrison, is everything okay?" the driver asked.

Daniel glanced back, sensing a strange flutter in his chest.

"Yeah," he replied tersely, opting not to delve deeper, and climbed into his luxurious car.

The two vehicles set off, one following the other, until they reached a junction and parted ways.
