CHAPTER 247: CHAPTER 247: AN EXCUSE TO LOVE HIM

"Even if you don’t tell me, Mommy, I know exactly what you’ve been up to." Evan Quinn playfully blinked his eyes, filled with such lively intelligence.

Is this really a boy under five years old? He’s practically a little genius, nothing escapes his notice!

Sienna Quinn shook her head helplessly, but what could she do? He was her child, after all.

Sienna Quinn playfully knocked Evan’s little head, her eyes filled with indulgent warmth, "Little kids shouldn’t ask so many questions."

"Come on, that’s really it," Evan Quinn pursed his lips, seeming indifferent, while Sienna’s lips widened into a grin, rubbing him even more vigorously.

Sienna turned her gaze to Sean Carter behind her, smiling and asked, "Where’s Felix Orwell?"

"After receiving your call, President Orwell went back to the office," Sean Carter muttered helplessly, as they were just downstairs at the building because Felix received Sienna’s call, leading to his departure.

Could it have been because of that phone call?

Felix Orwell’s speed was indeed ridiculously quick; upon returning to the office, he proactively collaborated with the Yates Group, thus compensating for the Quinn Group’s losses.

Sienna held Evan Quinn in her arms, looking out the window, feeling momentarily lost. She was moving ever closer to her goal, but was it truly what she wanted? Last night, she felt increasing love on Landon Lawson’s part. This man was becoming more unpredictable.

Five years ago, he was indifferent to her, even to the point of disdain. How come after his rebirth, Landon Lawson seemed like a changed man?

And he remembered things from the past.

Sienna was surprised by Landon Lawson’s memories of his previous life. But then she thought, since she could be reborn with memories intact, why couldn’t Landon retain memories too? And yet, if he did, his memories should include being fed up with her.

Landon Lawson never had Sienna’s figure in his mind.

From start to end, it was always Vera Yates.

But why did Landon want to help her? It didn’t make sense.

Speaking of Vera Yates, Sienna’s mind shook slightly. If Landon Lawson could dream about events before the rebirth, could Vera Yates and Miles Grant too? Would they dream about them too?

If both of them had memories, things could get really complicated.

Evan Quinn tilted his head, looking at Sienna’s smooth chin. Though they hadn’t seen each other for just a day, Sienna’s chin seemed to be thinner, and he reached out, feeling her chin with a touch of concern.

The sensation under his fingerpads brought Sienna back to her senses, as she lowered her eyes to look at the little one in her arms.

"Mommy, why don’t you and Daddy make up?"

His bright eyes appeared exceptionally clear and bright, striking the softest part of Sienna’s heart gently.

"Does he truly resemble?"

Evan Quinn nodded vigorously, wishing for a united family since childhood, desiring a father and wanting Mommy to have a husband.

Previously in France, Sienna often stayed up late staring at Landon Lawson’s image on the computer, searching for all the news about him, the love in the woman’s eyes was completely unreserved at that moment.

Evan had witnessed it plenty of times, waking up late at night for the bathroom, seeing the light in Sienna’s study. Her fragile silhouette, extraordinarily lonely and desolate under the night.

If it could indeed happen, Evan hoped Sienna could live well and happily.

Sienna’s heart trembled softly, "Alright, after Mommy finishes resolving everything, she’ll consider your suggestion."

"Really?" Evan Quinn was stunned, a smile blossoming across his brows.

"Of course it’s true. When has Mommy deceived you?" Sienna gently rubbed Evan’s forehead, promising without reluctance and with a hint of relief. Evan’s request also served as a breakthrough for Sienna’s heart, giving her an excuse.

It’s not because she likes Landon Lawson, just because Evan wants a dad.

Yes, that’s definitely it.

Since the last failed attempt to kidnap Evan, Vera hadn’t sought Landon for quite a while, and the man seemed to have forgotten her.

But lately, Sienna kept things quiet too, saying nothing of Evan’s kidnapping. Had she truly not discovered it was done by Vera?

Strange, it was truly bizarre.

Since Sienna’s return, things were unusually quiet, contrary to her character. How could such an issue just settle down?

Ding dong!

The doorbell rang, Vera Yates furrowed her brows. She had turned down all her public engagements, claiming she needed a break. Even her assistant and manager barely visited, mostly keeping in touch via phone.

Who could it be?

Opening the door, seeing the elegant woman standing at the entrance, Vera was a bit surprised, "Mom? What are you doing here?"

"What? Can’t I visit my own daughter’s place?" Mrs. Vance joked half-heartedly as she walked in, scanning the surroundings before sitting down gracefully, her lips curving upwards, "Why so deserted?"

"Living alone, how can it not be quiet?" Vera sat down.

Mrs. Vance was even more beautiful than Vera, with more of a woman’s charm between her eyebrows. If not for calling her mother, the outside world might think she’s Vera’s sister.

"You don’t come here without a reason, do you? What’s up?" Vera went straight to the point, for although she’s her mother, she seldom cared about her affairs, always coming with a purpose.

Mrs. Vance tidied the strands of hair by her ear, casually saying, "This place should have a male host."

Vera’s brows furrowed, here it comes again!

"I think the Hayes boy is nice, why don’t you meet him and try it out?" Mrs. Vance took out a photo, placing it on the table and pushing it toward Vera.

Vera paused, her face not looking very good, "Didn’t I say I won’t go on blind dates? How many times have I said not to introduce men to me!"

Vera’s voice gradually amplified, her expression frightfully unpleasant. The Vance Family had tried to set her up many times before, she’d made it clear, yet they even came to her apartment.

"You’re not young anymore, won’t you wait for Landon Lawson forever? You’ve already wasted five years on him, how many more five years do you have? Do you see a future with him? Vera, I’m not trying to discourage you, but has Landon really considered you as a woman in these five years? Your relationship has always been respectful, don’t think that more gossip makes it real. Fake is always fake; Landon Lawson doesn’t have you in his heart."

Mrs. Vance chuckled coldly, speaking bluntly.
