Chapter 868: Perspective
âI'm not sure either. Mrs. King hasn't given it to me yet. She just asked
me to schedule a meeting with you,â Jenna said, glancing at Mrs. King
sitting on the side.
Sienna fell silent for a moment before replying, âLet's meet at the coffee
shop we went to before!"
"Okay, see you in an hour.â
"Sure."
After ending the call, Sienna sat on the bed, staring blankly out of the
window. Jenna's words left her emotions in turmoil, and her face turned
as cold as ice.
She narrowed her eyes, and the indifference on her face lingered for
quite a while before gradually fading away. She got up from the bed
and went to freshen up and change clothes.
During breakfast, Sienna mentioned to Rex, "I need to go out for a
while. Will you stay here and wait for me to come back, or do you have
other plans?"
âI'll wait for you," Rex replied calmly, not asking where she was going.
Sienna nodded and finished breakfast before leaving the apartment.
She drove to the agreed location, where Jenna was already waiting.
When she saw Jenna, Sienna's face softened into a faint smile, and her
voice was gentle, "Jenna, have you been waiting long?"
Jenna shook her head, "Not too long. I just arrived a little while ago.
Let's sit down and talk."
Sienna sat across from Jenna, ordered a cup of water from the waiter,
and then asked, "Jenna, what did Mom prepare for me?"
Although Mrs. King said she was no longer part of the Kings and had
no relationship with the King family, Sienna still addressed her as
"Mom." In her heart, Mrs. King would always be her mother, regardless
of the circumstances.
That would never change.
Seeing Sienna looking a bit tired, Jenna mistakenly thought it was
because of Mrs. King's attitude, so she explained, "Sienna, don't blame
Mrs. King. She had no other choice. She still cares about you a lot;
after all, she raised you like her own daughter.â
"l know. How could I blame her? Of course not."
âThat's good." Jenna took out a folder from her pocket and handed it to
Sienna, saying, "This is from Mrs. King. It contains your official records
in the King family. Now, you can choose whether to leave the King
family and settle elsewhere. Mrs. King knows your what you think of
Mario, but you must understand Mario's feelings toward you as well.
This is the only thing she can give you."
Besides the official records and legal documents, there was also a
bank card. Jenna said it was Mrs. King's gift to her, and Mrs. King used
Jenna as the intermediary to tell Sienna that she no longer needed to
have any dealings with the King family.
Looking at these things, Siennaâs emotions became complicated.
She couldn't find an appropriate word to describe how she felt at this
moment.
Jenna called her name softly, âSienna? What do you think?"
Sienna looked up at Jenna and said, "I agree, Jenna. Please thank
Mom for me. I'll handle the the procedures as soon as possible. As for
Mario, I won't contact him anymore."
Jenna nodded, satisfied with this answer. It would be easy to report
back to Mrs. King now.
But Jenna really liked Sienna. Despite being an adopted daughter,
Sienna was kind, good to her, and very likable. However, Jenna was on
Mrs. King's side. Still, after hesitating for a moment, Jenna couldn't help
but say, "Sienna, take care of yourself. If you ever need anything, just
let me know. I will always be there for you."
Sienna nodded and replied, "Of course, Jenna. Thank you."
She smiled and exchanged a glance with Jenna.
After chatting for a while, they each went their separate ways. Sienna
drove directly back to her apartment, but she didn't immediately go
upstairs. Instead, she sat in the car for a while, opened the folder Jenna
had given her, and looked at the documents inside.
Now, Mrs. King had prepared the necessary documents to cut off her
bond with this family,.
Looking at the documents in her hand, Sienna's emotions were
complicated. There was joy, of course, but there was also an
indescribable sense of loss.
Sienna sat in the car for a long time until someone knocked on the
window. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked outside. It was
Rex.
She immediately rolled down the window and asked, "Why did you
come down?"
"Bought some cigarettes. You've been sitting here for quite a while.
Were you bullied when you went out? Why does you look so gloomy?"
Rex squinted, his eyes probing as if he wanted to see through her
heart.
Sienna suppressed a smile and replied, "Probably because I'm too
happy. I'm so happy that I can't even tell the directions anymore.â
"Oh? What makes you so happy? Share it with me," Rex said,
pretending to be nonchalant.
Sienna raised the folder in her hand, and Rex reached out to take it,
scanning through its contents. A hint of concealed amusement
appeared on his face, and he said, "Who gave this to you?"
"Mom did." Sienna said softly, âI'm planning to buy a house in Hance
City and register my residence there."
"Buying a house?" Rex snorted. "So, you don't plan to rely on me?"
Sienna couldn't help but laugh at his words. She grinned, âIt depends
on your performance. If you perform well, I'll definitely rely on you. But if
you don't, I don't know whether I should rely on you or not!"
Rex's expression remained calm as he continued, "So, when do you
plan to return to Hance?"
âIn the next two days."
"Alright, then you have two days to handle everything here. We'll go
back to Hance together after that."
"Okay." Sienna nodded and then asked, "Does Cami know that I'm
going back?"
âI don't know. If you want to tell her, just give her a call.â
âI won't tell her. I want to give her a surprise." After all, Rex's arrival at
Camille's place had been stealthy without any hint of information, which
had caused her to feel sore all over.
If she had known Rex was coming, she would have prepared herself
properly.
At the same time, in Hance City, Camille sneezed. She rubbed her
nose, wondering if she caught a cold from staying in the baby room
with Timmy.
Camille stayed at the Simpson's mansion in the afternoon to keep
Timmy company while he played. Ayan had left early in the morning for
work, and since their conversation last night, they hadn't seen each
other or had any contact.
After playing with Timmy for a while, he went out fishing with Fletcher,
leaving Camille with some free time. Talia had already started
contacting wedding planners, and she had been busy since last night,
asking experienced wives for advice and recommending reliable and
outstanding wedding planning companies.
Talia saw Camille coming downstairs and motioned for her to sit down.
She immediately opened her phone and showed Camille some
promotional videos of several wedding planning companies. She said,
"Cami, see if there's anything you like here. I've narrowed it down from
over a dozen options. I'll contact them again after you take a look. We'll
choose the one you like."
Camille cooperatively looked through the videos and said, "Mom, you
can decide. I trust your judgment.â
"But it's your wedding, and you have to like it!" Talia put down her
phone and looked at Camille. "Cami, is there something on your mind?
You seem a little absent-minded.â
