The plastic bag containing the coffee beans was now in Damian's hand after he finished making the payment.

They walked side by side out through the shop's door, accompanied by the soft chime of a small bell that gradually faded behind them.

At the roadside, now bathed in the dim orange glow of the evening sun, Sienna stopped walking. She turned to face Damian, awkwardly gripping the strap of the bag hanging from her shoulder.

"Thank you for bringing me here, Damian," Sienna finally spoke, using

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 76: A Change in Attitude

    The car moved steadily through the quiet night streets.Sienna stole a glance at Damian, remembering the unfinished sentence on the balcony before her phone had started ringing.“Damian,” Sienna called, breaking the silence between them. “What were you going to say earlier on the balcony?”Damian, who had been sitting back comfortably, was slightly startled by the question. His hand, which had been resting quietly on his thigh, shifted restlessly, his fingers tapping lightly against the fabric of his trousers.“It wasn’t important,” Damian finally replied, his voice calm. However, he quickly turned his gaze toward the window, avoiding Sienna’s eyes.Sienna watched his movements for a moment.There had been too long a pause before he answered. Something about the way Damian suddenly busied himself straightening the cuff of his shirt—which had been perfectly neat from the beginning—felt strange.Still, Sienna chose not to press him further.She nodded slowly, allowing the subject to rem

    Sienna pushed open the clinic door, immediately greeted by the sharp scent of antiseptic and the bright white fluorescent lights. Her eyes quickly searched for Naomi, who was sitting in the nearly empty waiting room that night.“Sienna!”Naomi rose from her chair, her face pale and filled with panic. She hurried toward Sienna, her trembling hand gripping Sienna’s arm.“How is Kevin?” Sienna asked quickly, her voice filled with concern she could no longer hide.“His fever is very high, Sienna.” Naomi answered with a trembling voice. “It reached 39.8 degrees. I panicked, so I brought him here immediately. The doctor is examining him right now.”Sienna nodded quickly, trying to calm herself before she could reassure Naomi. She reached for her friend’s hand and squeezed it tightly in support.Only then did Naomi have the chance to take a proper look at Sienna’s appearance. Her brows furrowed in confusion when she noticed the navy-blue dress Sienna was still wearing, so different from the

    Sienna took half a step back, her heart still pounding wildly from Damian’s touch that had only just ended. She hurriedly retrieved her phone from her small handbag, her fingers trembling slightly when she saw the name displayed on the screen.Naomi.“Hello, Naomi?” Sienna answered the call, trying to keep her voice steady even though her breathing had yet to return completely to normal.“Sienna, I’m sorry to bother you tonight.” Naomi’s voice sounded somewhat hurried from the other end. “One of the children here has a high fever. I’ve already taken him to the clinic near the orphanage, but they need authorization from an official guardian for some procedures. Can you help handle the paperwork over the phone?”Sienna immediately straightened, panic replacing the awkwardness that had enveloped her moments earlier.“Who has the fever? How bad is it?”Damian stood several steps away, watching Sienna’s expression turn serious in an instant. He did not interrupt, merely observing her with

    The tension in the ballroom gradually eased as the music resumed and the guests returned to their conversations, although some still occasionally glanced curiously toward Sienna and Damian.Julian stood for a moment, watching the two of them. He noticed something different in the way Damian looked at Sienna—a genuine concern that went far beyond merely protecting the family’s reputation.“Sienna,” Julian finally spoke, a faint smile forming on his lips despite the subtle sadness hidden behind it. “Since you’re with Damian now, I’ll excuse myself. There are a few colleagues I need to meet.”Sienna turned toward him, looking slightly uncomfortable. “Julian, thank you so much for helping me earlier.”Julian nodded, offering her a sincere smile. “Take good care of yourself, Sienna. But if you ever need me, I’ll always be there for you.”Julian walked away, blending into the crowd of other guests, though deep down, he was reluctant to leave. But given the situation, Damian had more right t

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 72: Defending Sienna

    Sienna still could not believe what she had just heard. The anger she had been holding back began to surge once again, this time far greater than the sharp remarks Vivian had thrown at her on the terrace.Before Sienna could decide what she should do, Damian suddenly appeared beside them, his face showing a rare trace of concern that he seldom displayed in public.“What happened?” Damian asked, his eyes shifting between Sienna and Julian with a scrutinizing look. “Why do you both look so tense?”Julian and Sienna exchanged a brief glance before Julian finally spoke first, briefly telling Damian what he had just witnessed—Vivian bribing a server to spill a drink on Sienna.Damian’s jaw immediately tightened upon hearing the explanation. His eyes narrowed sharply as he searched through the crowd for Vivian, until he finally spotted her standing uneasily near the drinks table.Without saying another word, Damian strode toward Vivian, the cold aura radiating from his body making several g

  • Mr. CEO, Your Contract Wife Is Gone!   Chapter 71: Vivian’s Plan

    Vivian straightened her dress and put her sweet smile back on before stepping in from the terrace. Her mind was racing, quickly coming up with a new plan—one far more decisive than mere subtle jabs.She walked toward a quieter corner of the room, where several hotel servers were busy preparing trays of drinks to distribute to the guests. Vivian watched them for a moment, her eyes gleaming slyly as an idea suddenly came to her.She approached one of the young servers who looked like he had only recently started working, flashing him a sweet smile as she held out several bills.“I need a favor,” Vivian whispered softly, making her voice sound as sweet as possible. “Please make sure this tray of red wine is brought over to the woman in the navy-blue dress with long hair. I want to give her a little surprise.”The young server stared hesitantly at the money in his hand, but eventually nodded obediently without asking too many questions.Vivian smiled in satisfaction before walking away an
