Chapter 1158: Report

Mrs. King's words left Sienna momentarily stunned, and her heart felt

uncertain about what to say. She could only purse her lips and look at

Mrs. King, who noticed the dilemma in Sienna'’s eyes.

Mrs. King asked, "Sienna, what's wrong? Don't you want to?"

Sienna shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't mean that. It's just that

I've already made plans to go back to the old mansion with Rex and

inform the Ward family about your visit to Hance City. Now that I'm

married to Rex, the Ward family will naturally value the King family. So,

I need to go back and inform them in advance.”

Sienna knew that if she used a trivial excuse, it wouldn't pass. For the

time being, she couldn't think of any other reasons, so she had to use

this excuse to refuse Mrs. King.

After hearing this, Mrs. King didn't know what to say for a moment. She

instinctively looked at Mario, and Sienna caught that glance.

Mario remained composed, showing no excessive change in

expression. He calmly said, "Mom, since Sienna has made

arrangements, let's do it next time. You just arrived in Hance City, and

you should rest early tonight. If Sienna were to accompany you to the

hotel, you might end up chatting with her until midnight. Both of you

would have dark circles the next day.”

Mario's words carried a faint playful tone, lightening the atmosphere

and making it relaxed and pleasant.

Mrs. King quickly agreed, "Yes, your brother is right. Next time it is. I'm

going to stay in Hance City for a while anyway!"

The two shared a glance, revealing a light smile in their eyes.

After the meal, it was already past nine.

Exiting the restaurant, Mario took the initiative, "Shall I accompany you

back with Mom?"

Sienna said, "No need. You'd better take Mom back to the hotel quickly

for some rest. Rex is waiting for me."

She pointed in the direction where Rex was, and the next moment, the

person inside the car pushed the door open and came out. Rex arrived

half an hour early, personally driving to pick her up. Tonight, he had

dinner with Ayan and Camille but refrained from drinking just to drive

and pick her up.

He walked toward the three, finally stopping next to Sienna. He looked

at Mrs. King, greeted her with a polite smile, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Rex,

Sienna's husband. I apologize for this sudden meeting.”

Although they were married, the formalities were still pending, so he

couldn't directly address her as "Mom."

Mrs. King saw Rex in this manner, and her gaze assessed him without

any overt expression. Even standing in front of Mario, Rex showed no

signs of unease and didn't give Mario any unnecessary glances.

Mrs. King's emotions were complex, but she quickly smiled and nodded

at Rex, "Hello. I'm Sienna’s mom. I'm genuinely happy to see her find

such an outstanding husband."

"Thank you for your compliment, Auntie. Rest assured, I will take good

care of Sienna and ensure she doesn't suffer any grievances or harm,”

Rex assured in a low voice. Mrs. King nodded, seemingly satisfied with

Rex's words.

After exchanging greetings with Mrs. King, Rex's gaze instinctively

shifted towards Mario. Holding Sienna’s hand, he looked at Mario with

a warm, calm expression. His eyes held no ripples or emotions, just a

gentle gaze. His lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile as he spoke

in a low, mellow tone, "Good evening, Miss King. Tonight, I entrust you

to take good care of Auntie. Sienna and I will accompany Auntie for a

stroll in Hance City tomorrow."

After Rex finished speaking, Mario remained silent for a long time. His

face showed no excess expression or change, just a calm look directed

at one spot.

Mrs. King finally spoke up, "Alright, you and Sienna can go back. We'll

head to the hotel."

"Sure, Auntie, take care. See you tomorrow,” Rex said, gently

reminding Sienna, "Say goodbye to Auntie.”

Sienna obediently followed the instruction and watched as Mario and

Mrs. King got into the car and left before she and Rex returned to their

own car.

Once inside the car, Rex's immediate reaction was to ask Sienna, "How

was my performance just now? Did I do okay? Did I make you lose

points?"

He seemed quite nervous and concerned.

Sienna found it amusing but also felt a bit sorry for Rex. After all, why

should he try to please others? She pursed her lips, and her face

showed a mix of amusement and tenderness as she said, "Rex, don't

be nervous. It's okay. There's no need to feel any pressure. Just as

long as I'm satisfied, that's all that matters, alright?"

Rex was slightly surprised. Initially, he thought Sienna would be very

concerned about Mrs. King's opinion and feelings, especially

considering Mrs. King had raised her. He knew that Mrs. King had high

expectations of Sienna during her time in the King family, and Sienna

always presented herself as obedient and well-behaved in front of Mrs.

King.

In reality, Sienna wasn't always like that. She only showed her formal

side in front of him and Camille.

Taking the initiative to hold her hand, Rex spoke with a gentle tone,

"Alright, I won't care about others, just you. How about you? Are you

satisfied with my performance tonight?"

She smiled, "Very satisfied.”

“That's good," Rex said, tightening his grip on her hand.

The two drove back towards Franklin Bay, and Rex began complaining

to Sienna about the dinner with Ayan and Camille. His face displayed a

pitiful and complaining expression, saying, "Because you weren't there,

they ganged up on me. I swear, I had to grit my teeth and endure it. It

was so uncomfortable.”

Sienna laughed, "I don't believe Cami would bully you. It must have

been Ayan, right?"

"Do you believe Camille would do that?"

"Of course, she and I are inseparable.” Sienna's statement was

undeniable.

Throughout the journey, the atmosphere between the two was light-

hearted and cheerful.

In contrast, the situation in Mario and Mrs. King's car was quite

different.

Mrs. King and Mario sat in the back seat without saying a word. There

was no interaction between them throughout the entire trip.

Mrs. King glanced at Mario multiple times, observing his composed

face that displayed no emotions or expressions. His deep gaze

remained fixed on the window, and he showed no intention of speaking.

Understanding her son well, Mrs. King knew that this was how Mario

behaved when he was in a bad mood. As for why he was upset, Mrs.

King was well aware.

Maintaining silence for a while, she couldn't help but speak up, "Mario,

what exactly are you thinking? Everyone is doing well now. Do you

really have to disrupt the current situation?"
