Chapter 1115: Ailment

Sienna sighed silently and then approached Camille proactively. She

said, "Does Ayan know about it?"

“Yeah, got a call from Kian during breakfast, and he sent an invitation.

What about you?"

“I found out in the morning too. He messaged me before boarding, but I

didn't reply.” Sienna smiled faintly. "Do you think Rex knows?"

Camille shook her head lightly. She said, "I'm not sure, but I guess he

doesn't. He didn't seem like he had something on his mind just now."

"Men disguise it well. You can't tell at all. I can't either. So, I really don't

know if he has any issues." Sienna said lightly, propping her chin.

Camille looked at Sienna, tilting her head and asked in a low voice,

"Tell me the truth, what are you thinking?"

"What else can I think? Am I supposed to follow him back just because

he's in Hance City or compromise with his actions? If that's the case,

why bother marrying Rex? If I've chosen to marry Rex, it means I've

made a decision. If Mario's decisions don't change, then neither do

mine. He knows me, and I know him. The consequence of that would

probably be mutual destruction!"

Sienna's eyes shimmered with a resolute coldness. She looked at

Camille, a deep-seated pressure evident in her eyes. She said,

"Actually, I'm not afraid of anything. I'm just afraid that he'll go crazy

and harm the Ward family and innocent people around me. In that

case, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."

Sienna's words made Camille furrow her brows slightly. Camille said

gently, "I understand your concerns, but let me tell you, don't blame

yourself or feel guilty for anyone. Their choices are not yours, and what

they do is not your doing. So, it has nothing to do with you. Don't carry

any pressure, and don't let your mind wander, okay?"

Camille's comfort brought a faint smile to Sienna's face, but there was a

hint of bitterness in her heart. Because, even though the words were

like this, the reality might not be so.

There were things she had no choice but to do. But if something really

happened, she couldn't possibly walk away without paying a price.

Because many things were already intertwined with her early on, how

could she possibly walk away without giving anything?

The two stayed in the villa for a long time. Camille said many

comforting words to soothe Sienna's worries. However, Sienna's mood

still carried some pressure.

Sienna asked Camille, "Should I go tonight?"

"Of course, not only should you go, but you should also bring Rex with

you. If Mario doesn't invite Rex, let him go as your husband. You should

also take the initiative to reveal your relationship and let everyone know

he's your brother. Only by setting the tone early can you catch Mario off

guard.”

Camille had been thinking about how to prevent Sienna from being

harmed ever since Ayan mentioned that Mario was coming to Hance

City.

If everything came from Mario voluntarily, Sienna would definitely be at

a disadvantage. She would not only be at a disadvantage but would

also be caught up in the rumors and scrutiny.

Camille had experienced too many rumors and scrutiny, so she knew

how uncomfortable it felt. Even though she tried not to care about other

people's opinions, sometimes she couldn't help but look and end up

overthinking.

Thinking about this, Camille's expression became even more serious.

She gently held Sienna's hand and said, “When it comes to Rex, I hope

you'll be honest, especially about Mario. You must be absolutely

honest. Only if you're honest about everything, there won't be any

conflicts between you and Rex because of Mario. No one can threaten

you two because of Mario. Do you understand what I mean?"

Sienna smiled, "You really have the mindset of a married mom,

considering things more thoroughly than I can imagine. How about I call

you Mom Camille from now on?"

Sienna was joking, and she seemed to have taken Camille's words to

heart, appearing much better now.

Camille snorted playfully, saying, “Don't know how to appreciate a good

person. I'm doing this for whom? For you, of course.”

Sienna leaned against Camille, saying, “I know, with you around, I feel

at ease.”

Camille took a deep breath and said, "For some matters, decide for

yourself. If you need me, feel free to ask, okay?"

"Sure. Got it, Mom Camille.”

"You shameless brat."

"Hahaha."

The two teased each other, and their moods became pleasant.

They didn't go to the company in the morning but instead went

shopping together. Since they had a dance party to attend in the

evening, they specifically chose dresses for the occasion.

Although the house received regular deliveries of clothes, they rarely

touched them, feeling that the ones they bought themselves were more

comfortable.

The two spent the whole morning in the mall and bought quite a few

things.

They were quite happy, but Rex's mood wasn't as good.

Rex also received an invitation, which was like a challenge for him.

So, he didn't have much focus on work in the morning since there was

no reply from Sienna. He wondered what Sienna was thinking.

The couple seemed to have fallen into a pattern of guessing each

other's thoughts.

Finally, after enduring until the end of the workday, Rex had the driver

take him to Simpson Group.

He had lunch in the Simpson Group office with Ayan.

The assistant ordered takeout for the two. Since Kian wasn't around,

Rex casually asked, "Kian isn't here?"

"He's on a business trip."

"Oh, he can replace you on business trips now?"

Ayan glanced at him indifferently and asked lightly, “So, did you come

all the way here just to find him?"

Rex deflated, looking like a deflated balloon. He sighed silently and

said, "Ayan, don't joke with me. I really have something to talk to you

about.”

Ayan poured him a cup of hot tea and said in a detached tone, "You're

scared because of a Mario?"

"Of course not. Scared of him? How is that possible?" Rex's reaction

was quite intense. He said, “I'm not scared of him; I find him annoying.”

If it were just him, Rex could handle it even in a one-on-one fight. The

problem was that Mario didn't fight fair. He only knew how to scheme,

which was annoying.

If Mario confronted him directly, Rex wouldn't have any worries. He

wouldn't even blink his eyes. But Mario wasn't that kind of person.

Whenever he struck, it was sudden, without giving any psychological

preparation.

For instance, this time, he suddenly came to Hance City, using the

excuse of launching a project to invite almost half of Hance City's

business community. It was a typical sign of ill intentions.

As for what Mario wants to do, no one knows for sure. But Rex felt that

he was a person with deep scheming and cunning. Despite knowing

that they were already married, Mario still went to great lengths to

interfere. What was this? Trying to sow discord in a relationship?

It was truly shameless.

The more Rex thought about it, the more agitated he became. His face

turned icy, and he looked indifferently at Ayan, expressing his

dissatisfaction, "Can you believe what Mario is up to? Is there

something wrong with his head?"

Seeing his angry appearance, Ayan couldn't help but smile faintly and

said, "You look like a jealous husband now. Do you want to take a look

at yourself in the mirror? Be careful not to be seen by Sienna, so you

won't be suspected!”

Upon hearing Sienna's name, Rex immediately hid the stiffness and

anger on his face. Ayan continued, “Let him do whatever he wants. This

is Hance City, not Flento City. It's your territory. What are you worried

about?"

Rex squinted slightly, his face unusually cold, "Not worried? Can it be

done? Mario is coming with great force, obviously well-prepared.”

"He's well-prepared, and you're not?"

“Not that I'm not. I'm just afraid that my preparations won't be very

effective even if they're thorough.”

"Why do you say that?"

"All decisions are in her hands." Rex sighed silently, a hint of

helplessness flashing across his face. He said, "If she decides to leave,

no matter how hard I try, it probably won't make any difference, will it?"
