Chapter 106: Chapter 106
Landon Lawson can only be hers, he absolutely won’t belong to Sienna Quinn. Now the only connection between the two of them is this outward relationship, and once their real situation is made public, then Landon really would have nothing to do with her financially.
"I hope everyone can help clarify for me and Stephen. We’re in a very good place now, and the relationship with his ex-wife is nothing but friendship. I hope people will stop jumping to conclusions." Vera Yates said, then bowed to everyone, her earnest demeanor prompting the photographers to frantically click their shutters.
Vera Yates is indeed the queen of topics; any random action can be cleverly utilized by her, turning it into an opportunity and capital for her climb upward.
When the pajamas were still in a daze, a loud noise suddenly erupted, accompanied by the sound of a squabble between an adult and a child. Sienna jumped up from the sofa with a serious expression, staring ahead for quite a while before realizing that those two troublemakers were in the bathroom.
Sienna rubbed her eyes and just walked into the bathroom. The warm water splashed on her, instantly rousing the drowsy Sienna. She glanced around, her lips twitching slightly. "What on earth are you two doing?"
The bathroom was fine when she left, but now it was a total mess. Evan and Landon were both soaked, covered in bubbles, and staring at her with big, round eyes.
"Mommy!" Evan’s voice had a hint of a sob, reaching out his arms for a hug. At this moment, Evan had forgotten all about the ’boys and girls’ talk he had before taking a bath.
Sienna quickly grabbed a towel from the side, wrapping Evan’s chubby little body. At the moment, he wasn’t looking like the little gentleman he was before. He was simply a drenched kitten, his fluffy hair sticking closely to his scalp. He had no trace of previous elegance, now appearing like a bullied little baby, which made Sienna burst out laughing, uncontrollably though amusingly.
It was just for a second that Sienna laughed softly, but she immediately adjusted her expression, "What happened here? Were you planning to tear the house down?"
Seeing Sienna enter, the little one finally found a lifeline, pointing at Landon and speaking first: "It’s not Daddy’s fault. As soon as Mommy left, he acted like someone else. Not only did he not bathe me, but he was also like a commander, just moving his mouth."
After Evan said this, how could Landon remain seated? He jumped up and pointed at Evan, annoyed, "Why do you only know how to tattle, kid?"
Evan looked up, mischievously staring at him. In Mommy’s heart, he knew he was the most important. Did Landon really expect Sienna to side with him?
Sienna herself was already drenched, let alone the two who had been in the bathroom all along.
Sienna gave Landon a worried glance. Though it was her home, Landon was still a company president, and on top of that, if he stayed wet , he’d catch a cold easily.
Sienna gave Evan a reproachful look, gently wiping the water off his body with a towel before turning to Landon and saying, "Go take a hot shower. Don’t catch a cold."
Sienna’s sudden concern caught Landon off guard, and he burst into laughter.
Sienna felt awkward, carrying Evan out.
When Landon finished washing up and came out, he noticed Sienna was still dripping, not having dried off promptly. Landon creased his handsome brows, and draped his bathrobe over Sienna.
"Did it not occur to you that you might catch a cold too?" Landon’s voice carried rare anger. This woman could be so neglectful of her own health.
Evan obediently sat there, smiling at the two of them, a charming smile tugging at his lips.
Sienna was stunned by the bathrobe draped on her. Before she could react, Landon actually picked her up, heading straight for the bathroom.
Landon pointed at the bathroom with the hot water running, his brow slightly furrowed, "Do you want me to help you bathe, or will you do it yourself?"
"Huh?" Sienna was dumbfounded, shaking her head repeatedly.
"I can do it myself, no need to trouble you."
Saying this, she began pushing Landon out.
The bathroom door closed, Sienna’s face flushed red as she leaned against the wall, sliding down slowly, gasping for air. Did Landon really say he’d help her bathe? If she hadn’t pushed him out, would he actually have done it?
Landon returned to the sofa, looking at the mischievous grin on Evan’s face, and gave him a gentle flick on the head.
Evan winced and rubbed his forehead, grumbling, "I only just started to have a good impression of you."
The two sat upright and serious on the sofa, waiting obediently for Sienna to come out.
Half an hour later, Sienna was helplessly standing naked in the bathroom. She had forgotten to bring in clean clothes, and what she took off was too wet to wear again.
Sienna stood by the door, speaking softly to the outside, "Chloe!"
"Mommy, what is it?" This content belongs to novel·fiɾe·net
Chloe jumped off the sofa, wiggling her round little butt as she walked over. Her endearing appearance made her very lovable as she leaned against the bathroom door.
"Can you get Mommy a set of clean clothes?"
"And make sure Landon doesn’t know." Sienna reminded her over and over.
A few minutes later, there was a knock at the door. Sienna opened a crack, poking her head out. Her dewy face was fresh and alluring, but to her shock, Landon stood outside, holding her clean clothes, with a red garment distinctly placed on top.
Sienna’s face instantly flushed bright red. That rascal had specifically been told not to let Landon know, but he probably couldn’t wait to tell him.
Sienna snatched the clothes from Landon’s hands, slamming the door shut, her flustered look leaving Landon in a daze.
This girlish side of Sienna hadn’t been seen in a long time. She looked just like she did five years ago, when she followed him around.
But Landon seemed to have forgotten that no matter how much Sienna changed, she was still the same person.
When Sienna came out of the bathroom, she approached Evan, rubbing her hands, her lovely little face a bit stern.
Evan immediately hid behind Landon, clutching his clothes’ hem, his baby voice pleading: "Daddy, Mommy’s going to scold me, save me!"
His twinkling eyes blinked animatedly, his clear and deep gaze almost mesmerizing.
"You little rascal, looks like you’re growing bolder."
