Chapter 196: Chapter 196

"You guys can go back."

Sienna Quinn interrupted Sean Carter.

Sean Carter sighed and had no choice but to leave with Chiara Thorne. Chiara hesitated, turned back to look at the two behind them, wanting to say more, but Sean Carter led her away.

Once Chiara was dragged out, she forcefully shook off Sean Carter’s hand, complaining, "Look at what you’ve done. If Chloe gets punished by President Quinn later, it’s all your fault."

Sean Carter, being blamed, shook his head helplessly, his face full of bitterness as he said, "If I had known, I would have definitely stopped it. But Chloe did all this for Sienna."

"Let’s not meddle anymore. I think Sienna is more heartbroken; it’s not really because she’s angry."

Sean Carter slowly said, knowing Sienna’s nature, they naturally understood her thoughts towards Evan Quinn.

Chiara was a little worried, but there was nothing they could do now, so she had to leave with Sean Carter.

Sienna looked at the little one in front of her, stubbornly, with her big eyes glaring and refusing to admit fault, looking just like that man.

Sienna stared in a trance for a while, but then she recalled the birthday party where Landon Lawson brought Vera Yates and Miles Grant, completely not caring about her. If he really cared about her, he wouldn’t have done so.

"Do you realize your mistake?"

The baby-like voice held determination and refusal to give in, Evan Quinn puffed up his cheeks, staring straight into Sienna’s eyes. He did all this clearly for her, but why didn’t she understand?

Seeing Evan’s stubbornness, Sienna’s heart ached with anger. Did he still not understand?

"I’ve been too lenient with you; you’re getting more disobedient."

Sienna stepped forward, dragged Evan off the sofa, and placed him on her lap, spanking his little buttocks forcefully.

The sound of the spanking echoed through the apartment, and Evan’s little bottom quickly turned red.

But Evan was just a few years old, and the pain from his buttocks made him bite down hard, refusing to cry out.

With reddened eyes, gritting his teeth, his pride wouldn’t let him admit defeat.

"Do you realize your mistake!"

"I did nothing wrong, why should I admit any fault?"

Evan remained stubborn, refusing to concede.

Looking at his determined little face, Sienna’s hand also turned red from the spanking.

Choking on her words, her hand paused, turning away from Evan’s small face, her expression carrying a trace of weariness.

Evan turned his head, listening to the woman’s stifled sobs behind him, paused, and saw that beautiful face full of sadness and regret.

Suddenly, Evan felt a pang in his heart, reaching out with his chubby little hands to gently wipe away the tears from Sienna’s face.

"Mommy, I realize I was wrong."

Previously stubborn and refusing to admit fault, Evan finally acknowledged his mistake. The moment Sienna cried, he knew he had hurt Mommy’s heart.

In the past five years, no matter how tired or bitter Sienna was, he had never seen her shed a single tear.

But today, because of him, she actually cried.

Sienna turned around, heartache enveloping her as she held Evan close, trembling hands gently touching his freshly spanked and red bottom.

"Mommy was wrong. Mommy shouldn’t have hit you."

"Mommy, you’re not wrong. I shouldn’t have been disobedient or willful. I should know that Mommy is the best person for me. I shouldn’t have doubted Mommy." The source of this content ɪs ⓝovelFire.net

Sienna embraced Evan, resting her head on his forehead, tightening her hold.

"You’re still young and don’t understand the dangers outside. You must never do anything dangerous for me; you are the most important person to me now. If anything happened to you, what would I do?"

Sienna couldn’t bear to allow Evan to be harmed.

At today’s birthday party, with many eyes and hidden intentions, if anyone aimed to harm Evan, it would have been a perfect opportunity. Even a slight mistake, and Sienna would have hated herself endlessly.

Evan pursed his lips, lightly leaning into Sienna’s arms, raising his hands to cradle her face, giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

Earnestly, he said to Sienna, "Mommy, I promise you, I’ll never act impulsively again. I’ll listen to everything you say."

Sienna held him tighter. Evan was the apple of her eye, and even if she was in danger, she couldn’t let Evan be harmed at all costs.

She had no one of importance, only Evan remained.

Not long after Sienna and Evan fell asleep, there was a clicking sound at the apartment door.

Sienna’s eyes snapped open, alert to the footsteps outside, and she got up to investigate. Upon reaching the doorway, she saw the man standing in the living room.

A self-confident man, without any formality, walked in intending to turn on the living room lights, coming and going as if nobody was around.

Sienna looked at the man before her, a little angry, she said, "President Lawson, aren’t you being too presumptuous? Do you think everywhere is your territory?"

Landon Lawson stood upright. After leaving the ballroom early today, he parted ways with Vera Yates and the others, but there was an unshakable feeling of congestion in his heart.

As if by fate, he found himself driving to Sienna’s apartment building, watching Sean Carter and Chiara Thorne accompany Sienna upstairs, confirming there was no sign of Axel Yates or Felix Orwell.

He instinctively felt relieved, puzzled by the unusual sensation, Landon paused, wondering why he felt this way.

Could it be that Sienna had truly entered his heart?

Why had he not realized this before?

Landon came upstairs for only one purpose: to figure out what his heart was thinking, and whether Sienna now held a place in his heart that had never been moved by any woman before.

"Don’t you... have anything you want to explain to me?"

"Doesn’t President Lawson dislike hearing explanations the most? You always trust your eyes and believe in results, never trusting processes or unseen things."

Seeing Sienna with her arms crossed, face full of mockery and teasing, Landon squinted, genuinely feeling a tinge of anger rising inside.

Was even giving an explanation to her now considered unnecessary?

An inexplicable fury surged from within, staring fiercely at the woman before him, he charged toward her aggressively.

Sienna squinted, arms crossed, watching as Landon approached. Before she could react, the man had already closed the distance.

The man’s strides were too long, reaching her in just a few steps.

Gazing at the woman so close, Landon squinted, wanting to see through her expression clearly.
