Chapter 1122: Indulgence

"We should have invited you to our house for a meal earlier. It's ourfault in the Ward family. Mr. King, we hope you'll forgive us!"

“Mr. Ward, no need to be so polite. Sienna has been spoiled at home, abit willful, causing some trouble for the Ward family, hasn't she?"

Their conversation made Rex and Sienna subconsciously exchangeglances, their brows furrowing slightly.

Sienna had already concluded who the guest at home was. After all,Mr. Ward just mentioned Mr. King, and who else could be addressedlike that but him?

With narrowed eyes and a displeased expression on her face, Siennaquickened her pace towards the inside. Rex gently pulled her, loweringhis voice, "Don't be nervous. Everything is fine. This is our home."However, even though he said so, the fact that he came here indicatedthat the things he mentioned on the phone this morning were true. Ifshe didn't cooperate, he would take action against the Ward family.Sienna tightly pursed her lips, her expression exceptionally cold. Sheopened her mouth but remained silent for quite some time.

"Back already? Why are you standing here? Hurry up and come in!"Madison's voice echoed from the side of the stairs. Seeing Rex andSienna standing there whispering, she couldn't help but laugh, "Whyaren't you saying anything even when you're back home?!"

The two in the hall heard Madison's words clearly. Sienna quicklygreeted Madison and then walked hand in hand with Rex behind herinto the hall.

Sienna's gaze had been fixed on Mario, who was sitting on the sofadrinking tea with Mr. Ward, since they entered. Similarly, Mario's eyeswere also on her.

Their eyes met, and Madison's voice rang out, “Sienna, your brothercame to Hance City, and you didn't tell the family in advance? Your dadfound out and quickly invited your brother to dinner. You wouldn't mind,would you?"

Madison asked in a low voice, and Sienna smiled and shook her head,"Why would I mind? I should thank Mom and Dad for taking care of mybrother!”

Madison smiled slightly when she heard this. They encountered Marioby chance. In the afternoon, Madison and Mr. Ward attended agathering, and they happened to meet Mario there. Due to the partylast night, Mario had developed connections with many people in theHance City business circle. After the introductions, when Mr. Ward andMadison learned about Sienna's relationship with Mario, Mr. Wardproactively suggested inviting Mario for dinner.

Facing Mr. Ward's enthusiasm, Mario casually responded, "We're allfamily; there's no need to be so polite. Eating outside is always a bitdistant. Besides, I'll be in Hance City for quite some time."

Hearing that eating outside was distant, Mr. Ward instinctivelysuggested, "Come to our house. Since they have been quite busyrecently, let's have a good gathering today."

Mario didn't refuse and agreed directly. Then he and Mr. Ward had teaand chatted for an entire afternoon. Later, they came together to theWard's mansion, played chess, and waited for Rex and Sienna toreturn. That brings us to now.

Sienna saw that Mario had been silent all this time. Their eyes met, andMario, as if nothing had happened, looked at Sienna and said, "Whydon't you say anything when you see me?"

His words carried a hint of a smile, like a protective older brother.

Mr. Ward quickly added, "Probably too happy to see you. You twosiblings can catch up later. Now, let's go eat!"

Mr. Ward's suggestion eased the tension a bit. However, Rex had beensilent, his face slightly stern as he looked at Mario. The two lockedeyes, revealing deep emotions and understanding of each other'sthoughts and feelings.

In the dining room, everyone took their seats. Today, because Mariohad come, Mr. Ward and Madison didn't invite other members of theWard family to join for dinner. They wanted to have a private meal withMario, especially since Sienna and Rex had just gotten married. It wasthe first time dining with members of the King family, and they preferrednot to have others present.

Madison and Mr. Ward played the role of gracious hosts, taking care ofMario very tactfully. They were polite and welcoming, leaving Mario withno room for complaint.

Perhaps it was the parents’ attitude towards their daughter-in-law'sfamily, coupled with Sienna's silent demeanor, that kept Mario frommaking any additional moves beyond responding to Mr. Ward'shospitality.

At this point, Mr. Ward took the initiative and called out to Rex, "Rex,Mr. King is Sienna’s brother, which makes him your brother too. Come,let's offer a toast to Mr. King. You've taken Sienna into your home, soit's only natural to let your big brother, Mr. King, see your attitudetowards Sienna. If you treat Sienna poorly, Mr. King won't let you offeasily."

After Mr. Ward's words, he gave Rex a meaningful look, as if to say,"Hurry up.”

With parents present, Rex naturally couldn't refuse. He picked up hisglass and went towards Mario, a slight smile on his lips. Looking atMario, he said, "Brother, I propose a toast to you. Thank you for comingto our home for dinner. It's also a good opportunity for you to see theWard family's attitude towards Sienna. I hope it puts your mind atease."

Rex's actions and words made Mario narrow his eyes slightly. Hisexpression seemed a bit stiff, likely detecting Rex's displeasure. Rexrepeated his words, expressing gratitude to Mario and the King familyfor nurturing Sienna so well. He concluded by expressing his joy forencountering such a good fortune.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Mario still didn't make a move.Seeing this, Mr. Ward immediately spoke, “Is Mr. King not satisfied withRex? Perhaps he feels Rex isn't treating Sienna well enough? Mr. King,rest assured, as a father, I guarantee that no one in the Ward family willbully Sienna. Even if Sienna and Rex have differences, Sienna is moreimportant. So, Mr. King, please give Rex a chance!"

Mr. Ward, a seasoned businessman in the city with a deep friendshipwith Fletcher, was a figure not to be taken lightly. The atmosphere inthe dining room became unusually quiet, creating a discomfortingstillness.

Each person's eyes revealed various emotions, but nobody knew whatthe others were truly thinking.

Mr. Ward's expression also turned slightly subdued as he spoke, "Mr.King, are you dissatisfied with Rex?"

Madison chimed in, "Mr. King, although the Ward family isn't as affluentas the King family, and we might be considered less prestigious, Rexand Sienna are in love. We, the Ward family, will naturally treat Siennawell. So, we hope Mr. King can give the Ward family a chance!"Madison and Mr. Ward had humbled themselves to the utmost. Despitestating that the Ward family was not on par with the King family, inreality, it was merely a show to express their value for Sienna in front ofMario.

Considering the situation, Mario immediately smiled and said, "You twoare too serious. I was just thinking if Sienna, who has been spoiled bythe King family since childhood, would cause trouble for the Wardfamily.”

"Mr. King, no need to worry. Sienna is very well-behaved and treats usvery well,” Madison reassured with a smile.

Mr. Ward quickly added, “That's right.”

Everyone chuckled one after another. Rex was still holding his glass,and Mario naturally raised his glass to clink with him.

The two locked eyes, and Mario casually said, "No need to call me“brother.’ Just address me however you like."

"Sure, brother,” Rex responded with a light smile, raising his eyebrowssubconsciously, his gaze arrogant and provocative.
