Chapter 402: Chapter 402
After the two hung up the phone, Felix Orwell’s fist clenched involuntarily. Every time he thought of this place, he was somewhat puzzled, wondering if he should not have allowed Sienna Quinn to return to the country... If she hadn’t come back, she wouldn’t have experienced so much sadness, nor would she have suffered such a severe heartbreak.
If he could have stopped Sienna from the beginning, then everything could have changed.
Felix’s lips pressed tightly together. He remembered once having a dream, dreaming that he was weeping incessantly at Sienna’s grave, clawing at the dirt over the grave with his hands... Every time he would wake up from that nightmare, not knowing what had happened, why it always ended up that way.
But the dream felt so real that he couldn’t help but be on guard. He had always been cautiously protecting Sienna, or maybe Sienna’s death would indeed come amidst this crisis...
Sienna stood waiting at the original spot for Felix to come over, only to see a luxury car speeding to a stop in front of her.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Felix looked her up and down with a teasing glance. The worry in his eyes dissipated in an instant, and upon seeing Sienna, his carefree and playful demeanor returned.
When Felix saw Sienna’s red-rimmed eyes, he involuntarily trembled slightly and nervously got out of the car, hugging Sienna tightly in his arms. His seductive lips whispered into her ear, "Did something happen again? Did anyone bully you again? Tell me, and I will seek justice for you." Newest update provided by novelꜰire.net
Sienna lightly shook her head, pressing her lips together without answering Felix’s question.
Seeing her , Felix had already got the answer in his heart. It probably had something to do with Landon Lawson. Only that man could make this woman appear so vulnerable.
"Alright, don’t cry, let’s go home."
Felix didn’t say much more and gently supported Sienna towards the car.
Sienna sat in the car, her mind echoing with the words Axel Yates had said to her. Suddenly, she turned her head towards Felix and said seriously, "Do you know what situation Landon Lawson is in now? I heard things are not good for him right now?"
Felix’s hand on the steering wheel trembled slightly... His eyes evasive, he didn’t dare to meet Sienna’s gaze, but a faint smile curved on his lips as he waved at Sienna, "Do you think anything could happen to Landon Lawson? As far as I know, he holds absolute authority in this city, and no one dares to offend him. Although I dis man, the consequences of offending Landon Lawson are clear to me."
Listening to Felix’s words, Sienna couldn’t deny the reasoning, as Landon Lawson’s dominance here was indeed strong.
But the words Axel Yates had said always left a lingering worry in her heart, making her wonder if something really had happened to Landon Lawson, which is why he might have said such heartbreaking things...
Sienna remained silent throughout, her beautiful eyes flickering with dim light. If possible, she wanted to rely on her own abilities to quickly uncover the truth of these matters.
And now, the time she had left was already running out...
"I just saw Axel Yates."
The sudden sound of brakes made Sienna’s body lurch forward slightly. Looking at the street ahead with some fear, she glared angrily at the man beside her, "What are you doing? Don’t you know this is a very dangerous thing to do?" Sienna’s beautiful eyes flickered with dim light, and if possible, she would have rushed over to teach Felix a lesson.
However, Felix was in no mood to consider Sienna’s feelings. Her words about meeting Axel Yates kept echoing in his ears.
"Do you really not know how dangerous a person Axel Yates is? Why do you still choose to be with him? You should meet with this man as little as possible."
Sienna pressed her lips together slightly, fully aware of what they were saying.
With a wry smile, she slowly opened her mouth, "How could I not know that he is a very dangerous person? I just sent Evan Quinn to Landon Lawson, and then I was taken into a car by his people. I barely escaped from him."
Sienna didn’t notice that as she spoke those words, Felix’s fist clenched tightly, his body trembling incessantly. He had always been unable to bear this situation. Clearly, Axel had always been so calm and gentle, seemingly unaffected by anything. But now he had become so ruthless, even willing to be harsh to longtime subordinates. This man probably had gone mad long ago.
Moreover, was Axel approaching Sienna intentionally just to get close to her, or was it to retaliate against Landon Lawson... Whenever he thought of this, Felix felt terrified.
He wasn’t worried about what might happen to himself, but he feared whether Sienna might be hurt.
Now Sienna was his Achilles’ heel. Not only did Landon want to protect Sienna, but Felix also wanted to safeguard her at all costs.
Even without Landon’s directives, he would still do everything possible to protect Sienna.
Sienna turned to look at Felix, her eyes flickering with doubt, and her brows furrowed. Why did she always feel there were some strange aspects to this matter, like there were many things unknown to her...
Sienna extended a finger, lightly tapping the seat once, twice, thrice... Each tap seemed to penetrate into Felix’s chest, making it hard for him to breathe...
"Why do I feel there are some things between you all that I don’t know about?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could that be?"
Felix suddenly laughed, the indifference in his eyes made Sienna doubt, questioning if what she previously felt was just an illusion.
"Are you really not keeping anything from me?"
"Of course not. Don’t forget, we’ve always lived together, and if something had happened, how could you not know? Moreover, you should be clear; my entire heart is focused on you and Evan Quinn. I don’t have the extra mind to meddle in others’ matters."
Regarding this, Sienna couldn’t really refute it. Originally, Felix should have been in France, and it was due to her that he had returned to the country. Her heart was filled with deep guilt towards this man.
