The next morning at Damian's residence.

Damian was already dressed in a formal black suit when he entered the dining room and took his seat at the dining table.

Joana immediately served breakfast and coffee on the table. Then she stepped back slightly, waiting for Damian to have his breakfast.

On the wooden table sat a cup of black coffee with thin wisps of steam rising from it, along with a neatly arranged breakfast.

However, Damian made no movement to reach for his utensils.

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 53: The Seeds of Change

    “Naomi, you’re not joking, right?” Sienna asked to make sure, her voice trembling as she wondered if she had heard correctly."I’m serious, Sienna! This place is packed right now," Naomi’s panicked voice came from the other end of the call. "You’d better get here quickly!"“Okay, I’ll be there right away!”Sienna ended the call, breathing rapidly. Whatever drowsiness remained in her eyes vanished instantly.Without wasting any time, she got up from the edge of the bed, grabbed some casual clothes at random, and changed in a hurry.She did not even have time to put on any makeup. She simply tied her hair carelessly, grabbed her bag, and ran out of the house toward the main road to find a taxi.Throughout the ride to the orphanage, her mind was filled with overwhelming panic. What had actually happened?As soon as the taxi stopped in front of the orphanage gate, Sienna immediately got out and hurried inside.Her steps suddenly came to a halt right at the main entrance. Her eyes widened

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 52: Swallowing His Pride

    That night. At the Nightclub.Soft music echoed faintly throughout the exclusive lounge.The night had grown late, yet Damian remained sitting motionlessly on a corner sofa, a crystal glass filled with whisky in his hand. The man had barely spoken since arriving at the place an hour ago, doing nothing but staring intently at the golden liquid inside his glass.Edward, who was sitting across from him, watched his friend's silence with a faint smile. He casually took a sip of his drink before breaking the silence."You came here this late just to sit around and daydream like this?" Edward teased softly as he placed his glass on the table. "Let me guess... you're thinking about Sienna again, aren't you?"Damian let out a heavy breath but did not deny Edward's guess.Seeing Damian remain silent, Edward smiled faintly. He took another sip of his drink before looking at Damian, who was still lost in thought."Damian, listen to me," Edward said, his expression turning more serious. "As long

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 51: Seemingly Indifferent

    At Blackwell Group.The sharp click of high heels echoed through the executive corridor of Blackwell Group.Beatrice had gone to the company after meeting Sienna. She truly could not hold herself back from telling Damian about what had just happened.Without knocking, Beatrice pushed open the door to the main executive office and strode inside, her expression still clouded with burning anger.Damian lifted his gaze when he heard footsteps entering his office. There was no surprise on his handsome face when he saw his mother arriving without notice."Why did you come here, Mom?" Damian asked calmly before lowering his gaze back to the documents on his desk.Beatrice tossed her handbag onto the leather sofa with a soft thud before staring at her son with a demanding look."I just came from the mall, Damian! And do you know who I saw there? Sienna!" Beatrice's voice was heavy with barely restrained anger.Damian stopped moving his pen. His dark eyes narrowed slightly, but he kept his exp

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 50: Warning Sienna

    Sienna stared at Beatrice in disbelief at her words, especially for saying them to her in a public place like this.Sienna took a deep breath, regaining control of the shock that had briefly gripped her chest. She understood perfectly well where Beatrice's gaze and sarcastic remarks were heading. However, Sienna refused to let herself be provoked or show even the slightest trace of fear.Sienna looked at Beatrice with clear, calm eyes. "Good afternoon, Mrs. Beatrice. May I know why you came to my workplace?"Beatrice narrowed her eyes at Sienna's calm manner of speaking. She did not answer immediately. Her arrogant eyes slowly shifted, casting a cold glance toward Julian, who was standing beside Sienna.The middle-aged woman said nothing, but the contempt in her eyes was enough to express the disgust she felt toward Julian's presence.Sienna clearly understood the meaning behind that prejudiced gaze. She turned slightly toward Julian and offered him a small smile."Julian... thank you

    Sienna didn't answer immediately. She hesitated to accept Julian's offer.“How about it?” Julian asked again, seeing that Sienna still hadn't answered.Sienna glanced at the stack of documents and products on the booth table, still unsure what to decide. When her gaze returned to Julian, she saw his sincere smile and realized that she hadn't eaten anything since morning. Finally, Sienna nodded slowly.“All right. It just so happens that my break has just started,” Sienna replied softly. “Shall we go now?” she asked, making sure.Julian's smile widened upon hearing Sienna's response. He then gestured for Sienna to walk ahead of him.Sienna briefly said goodbye to her coworker before walking with Julian toward the restaurant he had chosen.The two of them made their way to a quiet restaurant on the ground floor of the shopping mall. The restaurant wasn't too crowded, giving Sienna the much-needed break she needed after several days of being trapped in emotional tension.Julian and Sienn

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 48: Vivian's Provocation

    Beatrice showed no excessive reaction upon hearing Sienna's name.She remained perfectly calm, leaning back against the sofa without moving an inch. She simply took another sip of her warm tea with an utterly composed motion, as though the information were nothing more than a passing breeze.“Just leave her be,” Beatrice said flatly, her voice cold and devoid of emotion. She no longer cared about what Sienna was doing.“At least she knows enough to find a way to earn her own money after leaving this house. I only have one hope... that woman doesn't do anything foolish that could bring shame to the Blackwell family name. After all, the public once knew her as a part of this family.” Beatrice spoke again before taking another sip from her cup.Seeing Beatrice's rather passive response, Vivian curled her lips into a faint, barely noticeable smile. She would not let this opportunity pass without adding fuel to the fire.Vivian let out a long sigh before putting on an expression of genuine
