The Wrong Woman
Chapter 767

Sienna shook her head again. "No, thanks."

Even though her tone was soft, she seemed distant.

Daniel was the one who ended their relationship, so he had even less reason to talk to her.

Despite knowing he shouldn't and knowing it wouldn't lead anywhere, he couldn't help but desperately want to be near her and be kind to her.

Sensing the tension, Sienna changed the subject. "Where are your parents?"

"They took some of their grandkids to classes," Daniel answered promptly.

"Oh." Sienna smiled and politely nodded goodbye. "Then, I'll be off."

With that, she turned and left.

Daniel paced around the living room, feeling restless. Unable to resist, he hurried out of the house and caught up with Sienna.

Sienna was strolling along the street before Morrison Residence when Daniel grabbed her arm and turned her toward him.

She jumped and looked at Daniel in confusion. When she realized it was him, a wave of anxiety washed over her, and she asked, "What is it?"

"Ditching breakfast isn't good for your stomach," Daniel said with a hint of urgency.

"I'll pick up something later if I feel hungry," Sienna replied.

"I've got the day off and feel like getting some fresh air. How about we go out together?" he suggested.

It was his first day off in a year, and he'd only decided on it that morning.

Previously, he had worked tirelessly without taking any breaks. Keeping himself occupied with work was a way to avoid thinking about Sienna and avoiding heartache and sadness. Daniel could stifle his love for Sienna, coldly distance himself, avoiding thoughts of her or any updates about her. But he couldn't help but feel drawn to her when she was close. The turmoil in his heart intensified with her proximity and drove him to madness.

Sienna glanced at him, her emotions swirling in a confusing mix. She felt a heaviness in her chest, like she couldn't breathe, and an overwhelming sense of discomfort washed over her. Despite wanting to be angry, she found herself unable to. She shook her head weakly and rejected his offer once more. "I'm sorry, but this isn't right. I can't go with you."

With that, she turned away, quickening her pace as she walked ahead.

Daniel pursued her relentlessly. He grabbed her arm and anxiously blurted out, "Sisi..."

Hearing him call her "Sisi" so

intimately again, Sienna couldn't hold back any longer. She turned abruptly and shook off Daniel's hand. Her heart ached intensely, and her eyes brimmed with tears.

Angrily, she said, "Daniel, please stop. We've broken up. Don't call me 'Sisi,' and stop clinging to me."

Daniel froze, looking both nervous and guilty. His eyes were filled with tender affection, and he couldn't hide the burning intensity in his gaze.

Sienna could see it clearly, but it only deepened her sorrow. Already in a bad mood, his actions pushed her to the brink of tears.

Holding back her sadness, she emphasized each word as she spoke, "Can you act like a proper ex? Let's just pretend we don't exist to each other, okay?"

Daniel's chest tightened, and he looked down, trying to calm himself with deep breaths.

Tears clouded Sienna's eyes as she angrily confronted him, "When we broke up, you said the initial

excitement had faded, and you met

longer felt the same. You claimed you couldn't commit to me anymore, which is why we ended things.

"But now, after a year apart, does distance suddenly make you miss me? Have I reignited any feelings in you? And if so, how long will they last this time? A day? A week? Maybe a month?"

Her words dripped with sarcasm, and she felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind.

The pain was suffocating. Sienna wiped away the tears that shouldn't have been there and bravely suppressed her emotions. After saying her piece, she turned and strode away.
