Chapter 1229: False Words

He said, "I've already said it, I will definitely bring her back to Flento

City. So, for now, focus on building a relationship with her. She's

grateful to you, and I believe that with sincere efforts, you will soon go

back to how things were before.”

After Mario finished speaking, he continued to gaze at Mrs. King, as if

telling her that it was time to make a phone call.

Mrs. King was actually reluctant, but she had no choice. Mario was her

only son, and now that he had achieved success, all that was left was

for him to start a family.

However, Mario's personal matters had always troubled her. Although

he had a previous fiancée, it didn't work out in the end. This made Mrs.

King increasingly worried. If Mario insisted on Sienna, what if

something unexpected happened in the future? Sienna wouldn't be

able to help him in any way!

Mrs. King's worries deepened as these thoughts crossed her mind.

But under Mario's prolonged gaze, she ultimately had to nod.

In front of Mario, Mrs. King dialed Sienna's number. The call connected

quickly, and it was unexpected for Sienna, as she hadn't received a call

from Mrs. King for several days.

Sienna softly said, "Mom."

She still addressed Mrs. King as "Mom."

Mrs. King gently replied, "Hmm, it's me. Are you busy?"

Sienna said, "Hmm, not busy.”

Sienna had just left the company and was preparing to go home.

Mrs. King said, "Shall we have dinner together tonight?"

"Tonight?" Sienna asked uncertainly.

"Yes, tonight," Mrs. King confirmed.

Sienna hesitated for a moment and then asked, "Just the two of us?"

Mrs. King's eyes instinctively glanced at Mario beside her. Since the

call was on speakerphone, Mario could naturally hear what Sienna was

saying.

Mario's expression instantly became solemn because he knew exactly

what Sienna meant with that question. However, he didn't make any

move, and Mrs. King simply replied, "Hmm, just the two of us. It's been

several days since we had a meal together as a mother and daughter.”

"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll come pick you up later!" Sienna's

joy instantly surfaced upon hearing that it would only be the two of

them. Her voice carried an unmistakable delight as she said, "I'll come

over now. Later, we can go shopping. I found a nice fruit shop; I'll

accompany you to take a look."

Mrs. King also sensed the excitement in Sienna’s words. Sienna was

considerate, and Mrs. King loved her daughter dearly. However,

compared to Mario, there was no comparison.

Mrs. King also happily agreed and then ended the call. She put down

her phone and instinctively looked at Mario beside her. She said, "You

heard it too. Perhaps she really doesn't have any thoughts about you in

any aspect. She..."

"Even if she doesn't, I still want to bring her back. She doesn't belong

here. She is a part of the King family, and she will be for the rest of her

life.” Mario's tone was firm, without any room for negotiation.

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for Mrs. King to respond and

continued, "Get ready. Since she came to pick you up in person, there

must still be some feelings left for you."

Mario's tone was particularly cold, and then he had someone escort

Mrs. King back to her room.

Mrs. King sighed silently, feeling quite helpless.

Back in her room, Mrs. King asked her secretary, "Has he always been

alone? Is there no one of the opposite sex around him?"

The secretary subconsciously showed a troubled expression. It was

about Mario's affairs, so he didn't dare to say too much.

Mrs. King also noticed the secretary's reluctance to respond, and her

expression became less pleasant. She indifferently said, "Alright, you

may leave."

Mrs. King sighed helplessly, feeling unsure about what to do with Mario.

She quickly tidied up and then received a call from Sienna before

leaving.

Sienna took Mrs. King to a fruit shop and bought some fruits that were

unique to Hance City, intending to bring them back to the hotel for Mrs.

King to enjoy later. Then they went to have coconut chicken together.

Sienna was exceptionally enthusiastic towards Mrs. King, and their

interaction was no longer as distant and cold as when Mrs. King first

arrived.

During the meal, Sienna looked at Mrs. King and couldn't help but ask,

"Mom, what have you been doing these past few days? I've been busy,

so I haven't had time to accompany you.”

“Your brother arranged for someone to accompany me and show me

around Hance City."

"Hmm, you must have been bored by yourself, right?"

“It's fine." Mrs. King replied indifferently.

It was evident that Mrs. King had no interest in answering this question,

probably because it was difficult to pass the time alone.

But Sienna didn't stop there. After a brief pause, she spoke again,

"Mom, I have to go to Flento City in a few days. Do you want me to

accompany you back?"

As soon as Mrs. King heard that Sienna was going back to Flento City,

her face instantly stiffened. She furrowed her brows and stared at

Sienna without blinking. She asked, "Why are you going to Flento

City?"

Mrs. King's reaction was quite intense, and her gaze towards Sienna

became more serious.

Sienna didn't know what was going on with Mrs. King and could only

ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Mrs. King's expression turned extremely serious, and there were

indescribable emotions in her eyes. She said coldly, "Sienna, since

you're already married, you shouldn't leave Hance City casually, right?"

Sienna didn't understand the meaning behind Mrs. King's words. She

could only smile lightly and say, "Mom, I'm just going to Flento City to

look at wedding dresses. The Ward family is planning the wedding, and

both Rex and I have some free time in the next few days, so we

decided to go together and compare dresses from different shops. I've

already seen the options in Hance City, but I want to see more for

comparison.”

In addition, there was an important matter. Although Sienna had

transferred her residency, she still had an apartment in Flento City that

she planned to sell. Only then would she truly cut ties with Flento City.

But she wouldn't tell Mrs. King about all this just yet, as it wasn't the

right time.

After hearing Sienna’s explanation, Mrs. King still didn't understand and

persisted, "There are better options elsewhere. Why do you insist on

going to Flento City?"

Sienna smiled and asked, "Mom, don't you want me to go back to

Flento City?"

Mrs. King's face stiffened for a moment, and she didn't answer Sienna’s

question for quite some time, implicitly giving her consent.

Sienna was quite surprised by this, seemingly not expecting it. She

asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Mrs. King's expression became very unpleasant, as if she had a heavy

burden on her mind. Sienna could clearly see it and couldn't help but

ask, "Mom, what happened?"

Mrs. King pursed her lips, recalling Sienna's words from before. Sienna

had told her that she loved her current husband deeply and that he

treated her well, and her heart wouldn't change. Sienna had explicitly

stated this to her.

After hesitating several times, Mrs. King decided to tell Sienna. She

said, "Don't go to Flento City. He said he wants to bring you back there,

so don't go."

After hearing Mrs. King's words, Sienna's face also stiffened. Her eyes

filled with a thick emotion, and her voice became low as she said,

“Does he have the power to do that? Can he just take a living person

and bring them back?"

Sienna couldn't help but ridicule herself. She looked at Mrs. King,

feeling that there was no need to prolong certain matters any further.

She said, "Mom, do you remember what I told you? I only have sibling-

like feelings for him. If there's anything he needs help with in the future,

my husband and I will do our best, but that's all. I'm grateful to the King

family for raising me, and I know I can never repay that debt in my

lifetime, but I won't compromise myself and do things I don't want to do

just to repay that kindness."

Sienna was very frank, telling Mrs. King that she wouldn't do anything

for Mario, no matter what he did.

Mrs. King looked at Sienna, seriously trying to discern the truth in her

words, and ultimately realized that she wasn't lying.

But she couldn't do anything in front of Mario, so she didn't know what

to do. She asked Sienna, "Then what should we do?"
