Chapter 125: Chapter 125

"It’s not what I think? What do I think?" A cold voice let out a snort, and the temperature inside the car dropped a few degrees. The relationship between Landon Lawson and Vera Yates was known throughout the city. If it wasn’t the kind of relationship she thought it was, what else could it be?

The woman’s cold laugh sent a shiver down Nolan Shaw’s spine. From the rearview mirror, he looked at the woman’s icy face and swallowed his saliva. The previously gentle and elegant Sienna Quinn, when angry, actually looked just like Landon Lawson. How had he never noticed this before?

No wonder these two were a family; even their bad tempers seemed carved from the same mold.

It truly confirms the saying, "If you’re not a family, you don’t enter the same door!"

"That is... the kind of relationship you think!" Nolan Shaw said with a troubled face. This kind of thing wasn’t something an employee like him could casually talk about. But watching Sienna Quinn get angry time and again because of Vera Yates and Landon Lawson, seeing the two of them torment each other, no one understood better than Nolan how Landon had lived these past five years.

"Aren’t they in that kind of relationship? They flaunt their love openly, eager to show the whole world. Isn’t this true?"

Sienna grew more and more agitated. Even abroad, she saw news about the two of them from time to time, but she never saw any signs that they weren’t in that kind of relationship.

"President Lawson... always treated Miss Vance as a sister!"

Hearing Nolan’s words, Sienna was taken aback. She had heard this before, several times from Landon Lawson himself. But back then, Sienna thought he was just covering up their abnormal relationship.

Nolan looked at the silent Sienna and continued, "President Quinn, after you left five years ago, President Lawson never signed the divorce papers. His relationship with Miss Vance was just a show to reduce unnecessary troubles for both parties. You should know, with President Lawson’s conditions, how many women would flock to him."

Sienna listened, stunned, distracted throughout the ride until Nolan parked the car under the apartment building, bringing her back to her senses.

Sienna asked Evan Quinn to go upstairs first, as she had other questions for Nolan.

When it was just the two of them left in the car, Sienna finally spoke slowly, "How can you be sure that he and Vera Yates aren’t in that kind of relationship?"

Sienna pursed her lips as she spoke, her fair little hand clenched into a fist, nails digging into her flesh, forming small crescent moons due to the force.

She said she didn’t mind, but she cared more than anyone else.

"When you went to France, President Lawson was actually always aware, and news about you would occasionally come back. But after a year, no more news was available. President Lawson thought you did it on purpose, sulking, and he didn’t look for you again. In these five years, he never behaved inappropriately with Miss Vance."

Sienna trembled at heart hearing this, Landon Lawson had actually looked for her? And even made inquiries about her?

She nodded in a daze, her mind a mess.

She pushed the car door open to leave, and Nolan quickly handed her a gift box from the car: "President Quinn, President Lawson asked me to give this to you."

Sienna looked at the large gift box, opened it to find a giant stuffed bear, and without suspicion, hugged the bear and went upstairs.

Back home, she casually placed the stuffed bear on the sofa.

Despite Evan Quinn’s young age, he could do quite a lot of things. By the time Sienna returned, Evan had already run a hot bath for her. For original chapters go to NoveI-Fire.ɴet

"Mommy, come take a bath!"

Evan poked his little head out of the bathroom, a sweet smile on his face, as cute as can be.

This heartwarming smile swept away all the shadows from Sienna’s heart. Her mind, troubled from Nolan’s words, now set everything aside to be dealt with later.

Landon Lawson sat in the hospital room, looking at Vera Yates, whose complexion had already become rosy.

He kept glancing at his watch, his expression anxious.

"Landon, do you have something else to take care of?"

Though he said no, his watch-checking actions betrayed him.

Vera’s face didn’t look good, her eyes shifted, causing her to cough repeatedly.

The fit of coughing brought Landon back to his senses. The man walked to the bedside and gently patted Vera’s back: "Are you still not sober?"

The coughing made Vera’s little face blush slightly, almost bringing tears to her eyes.

"Landon, I’m... I’m a little scared!"

Looking at her frightened face, Landon recalled the middle-aged man who harassed Vera at the party, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he snorted: "Don’t worry, from now on, no one can force you to do what you don’t want to. That man who harassed you tonight will have to pay."

"Landon..." Vera’s eyes grew moist, her gentle gaze filled with deep affection.

Landon didn’t notice Vera’s gaze. His fists clenched tightly, self-talking: "Dare to look at her like that!"

Though his voice wasn’t loud, Vera could hear Landon was scolding that greasy middle-aged man’s gaze.

Her heart lifted with joy; it appeared her place in Landon’s heart was still not comparable to Sienna’s.

"Dare to look at my wife!"

The voice wasn’t loud but clear enough. Vera’s smug smile froze on her face, casting a shadow over her pretty little face.

The hospital room door opened. An assistant following behind Miles Grant in a white coat walked in.

The assistant obediently stood aside, not disturbing the three’s conversation.

Miles, coming in, hastily rushed to Vera’s bedside, noticing her unusually rosy face, his brows furrowed with concern: "What’s going on? I just received a text from Landon right after getting off the operating table."

"Text?" Vera was taken aback, looking puzzled at Landon. Miles’s arrival surprised her. Initially, she wanted to spend the night with Landon to cultivate their relationship, but Miles showed up instead.

"I sent it to Miles. He’s the best doctor in the city. With him here to look after you, I’m relieved."

Vera had a bad feeling, Landon had called Miles over voluntarily.

"I know today scared you. I have things to do, so let Miles stay with you tonight, no need to worry or be scared," Landon said to Vera.

Vera’s heart went cold. Landon tried every way to leave, was it to go find Sienna?

Miles was full of concern, checking Vera’s condition, and finally relaxed after confirming everything was fine.

"What’s going on exactly?"
