Sienna pursed her lips and said calmly, "Mario is coming to Hance City."
"What?" Camille was stunned, her eyes filled with shock. "When is he coming? How do you know?"
Sienna replied, "I overheard Rex on the phone. I had just come out of the shower last night, and he probably didn't expect me to be quicker than usual. So he was on the bedroom balcony talking to his secretary. He likely told the secretary to keep an eye on Mario and ensure he doesn't have any contact with me once he arrives in Hance City."
Sienna finished speaking with a somewhat subdued expression and asked with concern, "Do you think Rex's actions indicate that he doesn't entirely trust that I have moved on from Mario?"
Camille looked at her and calmly stated, "I don't think it's that he doesn't trust you. It's more about not trusting Mario. After all, Rex knows Mario's feelings for you, and our marriage happened under circumstances that Mario was unaware of. In such a situation, Rex is understandably concerned. If it was merely a business partnership between two companies, he might not be worried at all. But when it comes to matters of the heart, I believe Rex isn't entirely without apprehension."
Sienna remained silent, her expression complex. Camille lowered her voice and said, "We really seem to have a lot of complications, don't we?"
Sienna offered a wry smile and agreed, "Yes, it's incredibly challenging. I don't think Mario will do anything because I'm already married. Even if he has some feelings for me, it shouldn't be to that extent, right? He's primarily motivated by self-interest, so why would he want to provoke Rex or the Ward family?"
Mario was a pragmatist, and if there wasn't something to gain, they might have already been together. Sienna had confessed her feelings to him and received a cold, indifferent response. It was because the circumstances at the time weren't conducive, as Mario had stated.
This was what mattered most to Sienna; she desired someone who would choose her wholeheartedly, not someone who weighed pros and cons. She wanted unwavering commitment, not hesitation.
A man driven by self-interest wouldn't genuinely care about a woman, in her opinion. So, Sienna had her doubts.
She gently bit her lip and looked at Camille, then asked again, "Do you think my perspective is correct?"
Camille shook her head lightly, saying, "I don't think it's like that. Even though you've known Mario for so many years, I don't believe you truly understand this person. If you did, you wouldn't have taken the risk to confess to him back then, right? You don't know this man, so you have no idea what his next move might be. What if he's not satisfied with losing you and wants to make an effort? Or perhaps, he doesn't want you to live comfortably because he's not content?
Camille's words were somewhat harsh, but it was this brutal honesty that made them true.
Sienna fell into brief silence, her expression growing more serious. She asked quietly, "Rex hasn't told me anything yet. Do you think he plans to observe me for a while?"
"He's a man. Would he actively tell you that Mario is coming to Hance City? If he had a choice, I guess he hopes you don't know."
"But we're a married couple!"
"Perhaps men also have concerns. How about I ask Ayan to sound out his thoughts?"
"No need, I think Ayan is aware too, after all, he and Rex are on the same team." Sienna couldn't help but comment.
Camille laughed and said, "With your words, I don't know how to face those two anymore."
Sienna also chuckled, but her worries and uncertainties were still evident.
Camille spoke, "Don't overthink it. If he's coming, let's just face it head-on. It's not like we're dealing with a natural disaster or a wild beast. If he's scared, he won't come, right?"
"In this day and age, he won't just kidnap her, so there's no need to worry. Right?"
"Yeah, I'm with you."
