CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: BECAUSE YOU’RE HERE

Looking into the woman’s determined eyes, Landon Lawson knew there was no way he could avoid it today. Rather than confront each other like this, it was better to be open and honest.

"Sienna Quinn, I love you."

The deep voice made Sienna’s heart skip a beat, and a blush crept onto her cheeks.

"Then why?"

If he liked her, why did he not agree? What concerns did Landon Lawson still have?

Landon looked at his own arm and gave a bitter smile: "I know you blame me. If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t have been gone for five years. Though one of my arms is useless now, I don’t want you to be with me out of gratitude!"

Seeing the helplessness in the man’s eyes, Sienna was taken aback; so he had misunderstood.

A slight smile played on Sienna’s lips as she chuckled softly: "So that’s the reason."

In Landon’s deep eyes, Sienna spoke: "I want to be with you not out of gratitude or guilt; you’re not the only one who has helped me."

"Then why?"

This time, it was Landon’s turn to be stunned.

Sienna moved step by step towards Landon, each step taken with firm resolve.

And with each step, it seemed to tread upon Landon’s heart—Sienna became more and more unreadable to him. What exactly was going on in this woman’s mind?

With one arm, she pinned Landon down on the sofa. At this close distance, her breath was warm against him, almost melting him.

Those long eyelashes, bright eyes, and almost nonexistent pores left Landon entranced for a moment.

Bringing herself closer to the man, Sienna finally spoke slowly: "Because I love you, because I have you here." She said, pointing to her chest.

The powerful aura emanating from the woman left Landon unable to move, as he lifted his head to meet Sienna’s gaze, determination evident in his eyes.

Suddenly, Landon let out a light laugh. It was the first time he found himself in such a predicament with this little one; it had never happened before.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course!"

The unwavering voice held no hesitation; Sienna had asked herself this question many times in her heart. Yet this time, because of his life-saving rescue, the last line of defense in her heart was finally broken by Landon.

And she wanted to follow her heart this once.

If Landon could risk his life for her, what did she have to fear?

Seeing the certainty in the woman’s eyes, a handsome curve appeared at the corners of Landon’s mouth.

Suddenly closing the distance with Sienna, he gave her rosy lips a hard kiss. Seeing her mouth slightly open in shock, he smiled and said, "What’s the matter?"

"You...what are you doing?" A blush spread across her face, almost burning through.

"What I want to do, can’t you see?" Landon raised his striking eyes, and his serious demeanor took on a teasing tone, making Sienna even more bashful.

Looking at this beloved girl, Landon surprisingly felt like teasing her.

Even though both of them were all too familiar with each other, every time they got closer, Sienna would blush. How could he find her anything but adorable?

"I...I don’t understand."

"Doesn’t matter if you don’t understand!"

Landon gave a mischievous smile, and before Sienna could react, he wrapped an arm around her and lifted her onto his shoulder.

With a startled scream, Sienna’s feet left the ground. She blushed as she stared at Landon and said, "What are you doing? Hurry and put me down."

"In our own home, holding my own wife, do I really have to put her down?"

This was the first time Sienna had seen Landon so shameless; she had never noticed it before. This manner was even more rogue-like than Felix Orwell.

Sienna looked around, making sure no one saw them, then relaxed and gently punched Landon’s arm: "Quick, put me down. Your arm hasn’t fully recovered yet."

"Oh? Are you doubting me?"

The man chuckled softly, a gentle warmth showing in his eyes, leaving Sienna momentarily dazed.

Holding the woman in his arms, Landon carried her upstairs to their room. This room was, in her previous life, the matrimonial room of Sienna and Landon. Apart from their wedding night, they had never slept here together. However, in this life, Sienna and Landon had already done so countless times.

This feeling, surprisingly, brought a sense of unfamiliarity to Sienna, and after gradually getting accustomed to it, she grew to love it.

At the corner upstairs, a small, adorable figure crouched there, covering their mouth with a small hand, with their brows and eyes looking much like Landon’s.

Evan Quinn giggled; clearly, his daddy and mommy were two people who deeply loved each other.

"Young master, you should get some rest."

"Alright, alright, such a worry," Evan shook his head helplessly, his eyes filled with such an air of wisdom.

The old butler stood beside him, looking at this child who comprehended things more clearly than an adult, his eyes filled with affection.

That night, there were moments of warmth, joy, and also some heart-stopping ones.

Vera Yates paced anxiously at home. Ever since that video, she had stayed at home, not taking on any work, focusing solely on getting Landon back. Her man, why should he belong to another woman?

Vera took out her phone and looked at a certain number, her brows furrowing.

She didn’t know what was wrong with Miles Grant; he hadn’t been answering his phone, which had never happened before. This unfamiliar feeling scared Vera.

With no one answering, she kept dialing again and again.

"Ring...ring...."

The busy tone made Vera hang up the phone in frustration, her face unhappy. She suddenly stood up, threw on a coat, masked up, and hurried to the hospital where Miles was.

She pushed the door open, looked around, and grabbed a young nurse: "I’m looking for Dr. Grant!"

"Dr. Grant? Which Dr. Grant?" The young nurse was taken aback.

Vera frowned and snorted coldly: "Could there be another Dr. Grant? I’m looking for Dr. Miles Grant."

Vera sat on a nearby chair, crossing her legs, speaking in an ordering tone.

The nurse disliked the rudeness, but looking at Vera’s small face, she swallowed back her displeasure. "Dr. Grant doesn’t work here anymore," she said, leaving without looking back. The work was too busy to waste time on Vera’s attitude. 128

Vera stood there, dumbfounded, in disbelief.

Miles had quit his job as a doctor? How could that be? Was it the family asking him to take over their business?

Vera naturally knew the Grant Family’s attitude towards Miles.

Taking out her phone, Vera looked at the contacts list and pressed call.

In the busy tone, no one answered.

Biting her lip, Vera saw the news coming back from the people she sent, reporting that the Lawson Family now housed Evan Quinn and Sienna.
