CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 338: THE LITTLE ONE’S SCHEMES

After Sienna Quinn left the coffee shop, she went directly back to the villa.

She had been busy with things at the coffee shop these last few days.

When she learned that Evan Quinn had been taken back to the Lawson Family’s villa by Landon Lawson, Sienna just went to have a look and didn’t exchange words with Landon. She simply offered some instructions and left early, choosing not to stay but to return to her previous apartment.

Although she was no longer with Yates Group, Axel Yates hadn’t asked Sienna to move out, so she continued to stay there.

As soon as Sienna came back, the old butler saw her, while Evan was sitting in the living room playing with a tablet.

"Mommy~" a sweet voice called out, catching Sienna’s attention. A chubby little body rushed towards her, and as she knelt down, she felt the chubby little body throw itself into her arms, soft and cuddly, and so comforting to hold.

"How are you?" she asked, lifting Evan’s small face to take a careful look, noticing that the rashes had mostly disappeared over the past few days. The woman’s lips curved into a gentle smile, happily rubbing Evan’s little face.

"Your ability to recover is really impressive." Sienna grinned.

Evan squirmed his plump little body and said with a slightly red mouth, "Mommy hasn’t been around these days. It seems she really doesn’t like me anymore."

"How could that be? How could Mommy not love you?" Evan was Sienna’s dear little treasure, and even if she had to endure great pain herself, she would never let Evan be hurt.

Evan’s beautiful big eyes turned, and suddenly he said, "These days, Daddy seems to be having a hard time."

"He...what’s wrong?" Sienna asked, her eyes unconsciously drifting to the side, not daring to look Evan in the eye.

Seeing Sienna ask back, Evan was then certain that Landon still occupied a place in her heart.

Evan pretended to be worried and said, "Daddy seems to be very busy with things, leaving early and coming home late every day, looking more tired with dark circles under his eyes."

Although Sienna didn’t know what exactly Landon was busy with, she could probably guess. It seemed like it was still related to Miles Grant. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She knew that Miles occupied an important place in Landon’s heart, even though it was known that Miles had done such excessive things to her in the past life, even being one of those truly responsible for her death.

In Landon’s heart, he would ultimately choose Miles.

In terms of status, she could never compare to Miles.

"Mommy, can you persuade Daddy? You haven’t visited these past few days, and I haven’t been in touch with Daddy either. Look, it seems he’s aged several years," Evan continued, adding oil to the flames.

Even though his words were somewhat exaggerated, they were indeed true.

These days, Landon was indeed leaving early and coming home late, with his brows furrowed all the time. Although he was still good to him, arranging for the kitchen to prepare various meals every day, and even specifically instructing the kitchen not to make spicy foods that would irritate his rashes.

Just from this alone, Evan knew.

In Landon’s heart, he held some degree of importance.

But these words hit Sienna’s heart with pain, realizing Miles was that important in his heart, so much so that no matter what unforgivable things Miles had done, it couldn’t erase the bond between the two.

"Mommy, please try to persuade Daddy, okay?" Evan said with a semblance of heartache.

"Since you know Daddy is in a bad mood recently, you definitely have to stay with him properly." Sienna changed the topic, as this hurdle was still impossible for her to get past right now.

"I stayed, and I sincerely accompanied Daddy. But ultimately, I am not you, you are Daddy’s remedy. Moreover, the other night, I saw Daddy on the balcony late at night smoking, one cigarette after another, and it seemed like he was even crying..."

Evan blinked his innocent big eyes, speaking with such conviction that even Sienna believed him.

She didn’t even consider that Evan said it intentionally to make her heartache.

Knowing Landon had taken everything on himself, Sienna felt deeply moved. For someone as proud and self-assured as Landon to be so upset...

The last time, and the first time, Sienna saw Landon cry was on the day Grandpa Lawson passed away.

He cried painfully for the doctors to save Grandpa Lawson, and this helpless Landon was the first she had ever seen.

Landon must have been suffering particularly, right? He must have been especially lonely, right? After all, he was her closest friend, and when Miles was alive, Landon didn’t hesitate to be opposed to Miles to help her.

Sienna fell into deep thought.

Even if he is great and powerful, he still can’t share those painful memories with others?

A man’s soft side is worse than imagined. Drowning his sorrows, lost to the world, Landon indeed didn’t have any spare thoughts to consider other issues, right? And at this time, Axel sought to take advantage...

Seeing Sienna in distress, Evan knew his purpose was achieved; he wanted Sienna to soften.

Knowing Landon was in such pain, Sienna couldn’t bear it anymore. The last time she couldn’t persuade Axel to let go of Landon, it seemed she needed to seriously plan how to convince Axel to willingly not target Landon anymore.

"Mommy... Mommy!" Evan shouted loudly.

Sienna returned to her senses, looking at Evan, "What is it?"

Evan shook his head, "Mommy, can I stay at Daddy’s for a few more days? Because I also want to see Daddy happily playing with me like before."

Sienna stroked Evan’s tiny head, happy that he was so understanding. Besides, she also hoped Landon could emerge from the shadows soon and that Evan could experience his father’s love.

"Okay, Evan, Mommy agrees. But you must take care of your health and not cause trouble for Daddy, okay?"

"Mm!" Evan nodded vigorously.

"Then you shouldn’t leave, right?" Evan suddenly said.

Sienna stood there, stunned, shaking her head with a bitter smile, "It’s okay, having you accompany Daddy is enough."

"But Mommy..."

"No buts, it’s okay."

Sienna interrupted the little one’s words, though everything Landon did was understandable, fully accepting it required time. During this period, it was best for them to see each other less.

Sienna placed the things she brought for Evan on the table, and the two snuggled on the couch for a while watching the tablet before she got up to leave.

Before leaving, the old butler repeatedly tried to persuade her to at least stay for a meal before returning.

But Sienna, already determined, refused to stay, leaving the old butler with no choice but to watch her leave.

Standing at his spot, Evan watched Sienna’s departing figure, shaking his head helplessly.
