The Wrong Woman
Chapter 782

Sienna nodded and hummed in response.

"I'm not getting any younger, too, and I still haven't found the right woman to marry. Why don't we just settle and get married?" Daniel's hands sweated nervously as he spoke.

Sienna's expression shifted suddenly.

Not getting any younger? Settle?

Without a word, she grabbed her bag, stood up, and started walking away.

Daniel quickly caught up with Sienna and grabbed her arm, pulling her back. Urgency laced his words as he spoke, "Sienna, we're both adults now.

"We've moved beyond the awkward and shy stages of young love. Isn't blind dating and marriage all about assessing a person's compatibility?"

Sienna managed a bitter smile, sadness evident in her eyes. Each word she uttered was laden with emphasis, "Mr. Morrison, I wasn't up to your standards before, and now I'm even less deserving of you." "I didn't mean any of those things I said when we broke up. They were all insincere," Daniel explained anxiously, gripping Sienna's arm with his other hand.

He added, "I believe no amount of explanation will be enough. Why don't we be practical and let time show us the truth?"

Tears welled up in Sienna's eyes, her heart heavy with pain. "What are you trying to do?"

Daniel's demeanor showed sincerity, his eyes reflecting genuine earnestness. "If you're not interested in anyone, and now that you're at an age suitable for marriage, why not consider marrying me? "We've known each other for so long, inside and out. I can offer you a home, a comfortable life, someone to lean on, sparing you from further hardships and toiling again. What's not to like?" Sienna couldn't contain her tears any longer. They flowed freely down her cheeks.

She might have been deeply touched and eager to accept his proposal if this happened a year ago. But now, she simply felt pathetic.

Tears streaked down Sienna's face as she spoke, her tone dripping with sarcasm and bitterness.

"Daniel, how is it possible that a man like you hasn't found a wife yet? Isn't Vivian still waiting for you? All those heiresses and socialites, they're all vying for your attention." Witnessing Sienna's tears, Daniel's heart clenched, his eyes reddening with emotion. "Sienna, do you hate me?"

Sienna didn't hate him. In fact, she never harbored any resentment toward him.

She simply felt inadequate because

of her modest background and family circumstances, believing it was only natural for him to leave her But faced with his question, she played along. "I hate you."

"Since you hate me, why not just marry me? You can drain my finances and treat me horribly after we're wed. You can neglect my parents and refuse to have children or get along with my family.

"Then, when I've fallen for you deeply, leave me without a second thought. Just take revenge on me like this, okay?" Daniel's words were filled with earnestness and emotion.

Sienna couldn't help but laugh bitterly at the cruel scheme he proposed. After pushing his hands away, she wiped her tears. "Daniel, don't joke about such things with me I'm not up for it right now."

"This is my sincere confession." Daniel's expression was tense as he continued, "I've already handed in my resignation letter. As my wife, you won't face the same risks as before.

"Trust me, Sienna, I'll risk my life to protect you and ensure you live without worries."

Resignation? Was he quitting his job? What did he mean by saying she wouldn't face the same risks as before?

Suddenly, Sienna recalled that Daniel had broken up with her right after she had been abducted.

When Sienna was in the hospital, Daniel was deeply concerned about her and completely focused on her condition. But after going out with Shelly once, he suddenly became distant. Since then, Daniel had been neglecting Sienna and pulling away from her. Eventually, he broke up with her.

Was it because of Shelly?

Sienna gazed into his gentle and sincere eyes, her heart in turmoil as she said, "Let me think about it."
