“Mom, you really don’t have to worry about me. Once my injuries have healed a bit, I’ll come by and thank you myself, Sean said.
Vivian and Nathan’s company had become a real dark horse in Vallaris, breaking through the fierce competition and finally catching everyone’s eye in no
time.
Vivian could finally share this great news with Sienna.
She couldn’t wait to get home, but as soon as she walked in, she saw Julian and Sienna kissing. Vivian’s cheeks flushed bright red.
She quickly turned her head away, but Sienna noticed her.
She shot Julian a glare and pushed him away, calling out, “Vivian.”
Vivian clutched her sleeve, looking up at the ceiling, then down at the floor–she was so embarrassed she wished she could disappear. ‘Ugh, I should’ve at least knocked or said something before coming in,‘ she thought.
She stuttered, “Sienna, I…”
Julian quickly walked away with a bowl in his hands. “I’ll leave you two to it.”
Only then did Vivian turn back and walk toward Sienna, lowering her head in embarrassment.
Sienna ruffled her hair. “Is there something you want to tell me?”
Vivian practically bounced with excitement as she shared the good news with Sienna. Hearing it, Sienna felt a surge of pride–her little sister was really
growing up.
Vivian finally had what it took to stand on her own two feet.
Throughout this whole startup journey, Sienna had deliberately thrown all kinds of hurdles in her way, but Vivian managed to handle every single one of
them.
“Vivian, you really are incredible,” Sienna said.
“Sis, I hope I didn’t let you down. Don’t worry–I promise I’ll make Hart Corporation even greater,” Vivian said, her voice full of determination.
Sienna saw the ambition and desire in her eyes and smiled softly.
“I believe in you,” she said.
Vivian glanced at Sienna’s belly, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
“Sis, can I touch your belly?” she asked eagerly.
Sienna took Vivian’s hand and gently placed it on her stomach. “Go ahead.”
Vivian said a little jealously, “I really don’t want Julian getting in the middle of our lives–we’re the real family here. But… he’s so attentive to you, even
more attentive than we do.”
Sienna pinched her cheek gently. “To me, no one could ever be better than you girls.”
“Yeah.” Vivian felt the roundness of Sienna’s belly, then bent down and pressed her face against it.
“Sis, he just moved!” she exclaimed, her voice full of excitement.
Vivian was practically bouncing with joy, like a kid on Christmas morning.

Chapter 394
A few days later, Lana reported to Sienna about Aiden.
“Demi Bale’s offer is pretty tempting–he doesn’t really have a reason to say no. She gave him three days to think it over, and today’s the last day, lana
said.

Sienna flipped through the documents in her hands. “He’ll agree.”
At ten o’clock that night, Aiden walked into the room.
Aiden brought Demi back to the Hart family home.
Demi was clinging tightly to Aiden’s arm, and he looked like he wanted to say something, but held himself back.
Yesterday, Sienna’s people had come to him and told him he could refuse the arranged marriage and stay at home, just like things used to be.
In the end, this was the path he chose for himself.
“Sienna, I’ve decided–I’m going to marry Demi Bale,” Aiden said.
Sienna looked at him. “Are you sure about this?”
Aiden nodded. “Yeah, Sienna. You know… it’s been so many years since your mother passed away, and I…”
Sienna spoke slowly, “Alright. You two can get married overseas, but you can’t use the name Aiden Hart anymore. You’ll have to take on a new identity. That way, you’ll still keep your one percent share in Hart Corporation.”
Aiden was stunned by this sudden turn of good fortune, completely caught off guard.
“Sienna, are you really serious? I can still keep my shares, so I’ll still get dividends in the future, right?” Aiden stammered, his voice trembling.
Sienna replied quietly, “Got it.”
Aiden’s eyes reddened, his eyes growing red with emotion–he was on the verge of tears.
He’d been blind before, always listening to others instead of trusting his own family. In the end, it was his daughter, Sienna, who truly cared about him.
“Sienna, you and Julian take care of each other. We’ll come back when the baby’s born,” Aiden said softly.
“Sure.” Sienna nodded.
Sienna watched their backs as they left, her gaze dimming with a trace of sadness.
