CHAPTER 278: CHAPTER 278: SETTLING ON A DADDY

Sienna Quinn didn’t know how she got back that day; she felt quite dazed. Evan Quinn stood quietly by her side, unusually silent because, being smart as he was, he naturally could see that Sienna’s condition wasn’t good right now, and it was better for him to say less.

Sitting at home, Sienna held Evan in her arms and slowly asked, "What do you think of Uncle Felix Orwell?"

"I think he’s great. Uncle Felix Orwell is the best to me," Evan immediately responded, looking up with an innocent face full of happiness. Seeing that little face, Sienna was taken aback. Actually, Felix Orwell had been good to Evan for more than just a day or two; for these five years, he had consistently helped her and cared for Evan. Perhaps Felix really was the best choice?

At that moment, Sienna felt a bit lost.

Evan looked at Sienna, confused, not understanding why she looked like this, but there was a bad feeling in his heart. His silly mom might not do something foolish again, right?

After all, being a prodigy and mature beyond his years, just as Sienna spoke, Evan already had a bold guess in his heart: Could it be that Mommy wanted to be with Uncle Felix?

The chubby little hand suddenly grabbed Sienna, his big round eyes widening, afraid that he wouldn’t seem sincere enough.

"Mommy, is something on your mind? If you really have something, just tell me. I’ve always been your strongest support."

Support? Yes, as long as Evan was around, there was nothing Sienna needed to fear. Isn’t that how they’ve been getting through all these years?

Looking at the boy in front of her, she slightly parted her lips and said, "Do you want Uncle Felix to be your dad? He’s always been good to you, hasn’t he?" Sienna looked at Evan nervously, hoping he could have a bright future.

She actually thought he should have a family, so it wouldn’t be too painful.

But Evan’s little face slightly changed, suddenly staring at Sienna with an unusually unpleasant expression. How could this be possible? Although he had once thought about making Uncle Felix his dad, now that Landon Lawson had appeared, how could he still consider Uncle Felix as his dad? The thought was simply impossible.

Seeing Evan’s twitching lips, Sienna leaned over in confusion and asked, "What are you thinking now?"

"But now I already have a dad, I can’t have other dads, so I can’t do this." Evan nodded earnestly.

Sienna’s heart trembled; it seemed that, deep down, he had already accepted Landon Lawson. No one could remove Landon from his heart.

She patted his tousled hair hard, a beautiful smile slowly forming at the corner of her mouth, and gently said, "Alright, go play then."

Evan didn’t leave but looked directly at Sienna. "Mommy, you won’t abandon Dad, will you? Even though Dad has low emotional intelligence and isn’t decisive about women, he’s still a good dad. Don’t give up on him so quickly, okay?" Evan blinked his beautiful eyes, filled with reluctance. But listening to his words, Sienna’s heart trembled slightly; it seemed that Evan had already recognized Landon Lawson. Even after he had just made Evan cry, the boy still preferred to give Landon a chance. If even her precious son could give Landon a chance, then why couldn’t she?

"Don’t worry, Mommy won’t give up on your dad that easily."

"Really?" Evan blinked his pretty eyes, his eyes sparkling with light. Seeing those lively eyes, Sienna finally knew that Evan needed a father—one specific person. If Landon Lawson intervened again in these matters, Sienna wouldn’t mind Evan losing his father once more; after all, it wasn’t something new for her, it had long been a daily routine.

After finally getting Evan to sleep, Sienna’s phone kept ringing.

The caller ID showed Chiara Thorne calling. What was going on?

"What’s wrong?"

"President Quinn, quickly go online and look at the news; it’s flooded with your news right now."

Chiara’s voice sounded anxious, understandably so. The announcement of Felix Orwell as the true owner of the group must have caused waves in the circles. But now, things seemed a bit odd; if it was indeed this matter, it would’ve been anticipated, and Chiara wouldn’t have reacted so dramatically.

Sienna turned on the computer and saw the news above. The main characters tonight included three people, plus Vera Yates.

Vera Yates, again Vera Yates, like a haunting shadow appears around her, always butting in on whatever she does. Yet today’s event clearly hadn’t involved her; why was she here?

Thinking of this, Sienna’s mouse finally clicked in, only to see it reported that she and Landon Lawson were still legally married and hadn’t divorced.

Buzz!

Sienna felt her mind go blank; how did outsiders know such private matters? This secret had been perfectly hidden by Landon for five years.

"Vera Yates is a real mistress. No wonder Sienna left five years ago; I’d leave too if it were me."

"Finally, we understand the difficulties of a strong woman. You bunch of lousy men, isn’t it because you get tired of the new and love the old? If you don’t like it, why marry in the first place? Now, you push a gentle woman to become strong."

"But it’s good for Sienna now; she can rely on no one."...

Online comments buzzed anew, whereas Sienna thought they’d moved past her life. It seemed she underestimated them.

The events in her life could make a novel; it’s unclear how they’ll deal with this situation. Sienna shut down the computer; this matter wasn’t adverse for her—it could even resonate with women, putting her in a favorable public position.

However, Vera Yates now must have become someone everyone wants to throw stones at, right?

"How did this happen? Who leaked this news?"
