Mrs. King's words left Sienna momentarily stunned, and her heart felt uncertain about what to say. She could only purse her lips and look at Mrs. King, who noticed the dilemma in Sienna's eyes.
Mrs. King asked, "Sienna, what's wrong? Don't you want to?"
Sienna shook her head and said, "Mom, I don't mean that. It's just that I've already made plans to go back to the old mansion with Rex and inform the Ward family about your visit to Hance City. Now that I'm married to Rex, the Ward family will naturally value the King family. So, I need to go back and inform them in advance."
Sienna knew that if she used a trivial excuse, it wouldn't pass. For the time being, she couldn't think of any other reasons, so she had to use this excuse to refuse Mrs. King.
After hearing this, Mrs. King didn't know what to say for a moment. She instinctively looked at Mario, and Sienna caught that glance.
Mario remained composed, showing no excessive change in expression. He calmly said, "Mom, since Sienna has made arrangements, let's do it next time. You just arrived in Hance City, and you should rest early tonight. If Sienna were to accompany you to the hotel, you might end up chatting with her until midnight. Both of you would have dark circles the next day."
Mario's words carried a faint playful tone, lightening the atmosphere and making it relaxed and pleasant.
Mrs. King quickly agreed, "Yes, your brother is right. Next time it is. I'm going to stay in Hance City for a while anyway!"
The two shared a glance, revealing a light smile in their eyes.
After the meal, it was already past nine.
Exiting the restaurant, Mario took the initiative, "Shall I accompany you back with Mom?"
Sienna said, "No need. You'd better take Mom back to the hotel quickly for some rest. Rex is waiting for me."
She pointed in the direction where Rex was, and the next moment, the person inside the car pushed the door open and came out. Rex arrived half an hour early, personally driving to pick her up. Tonight, he had dinner with Ayan and Camille but refrained from drinking just to drive and pick her up.
He walked toward the three, finally stopping next to Sienna. He looked at Mrs. King, greeted her with a polite smile, "Hello, Auntie. I'm Rex, Sienna's husband. I apologize for this sudden meeting."
Although they were married, the formalities were still pending, so he couldn't directly address her as "Mom."
Mrs. King saw Rex in this manner, and her gaze assessed him without any overt expression. Even standing in front of Mario, Rex showed no signs of unease and didn't give Mario any unnecessary glances.
Mrs. King's emotions were complex, but she quickly smiled and nodded at Rex, "Hello. I'm Sienna's mom. I'm genuinely happy to see her find such an outstanding husband."
"Thank you for your compliment, Auntie. Rest assured, I will take good care of Sienna and ensure she doesn't suffer any grievances or harm," Rex assured in a low voice. Mrs. King nodded, seemingly satisfied with Rex's words.
After exchanging greetings with Mrs. King, Rex's gaze instinctively shifted towards Mario. Holding Sienna's hand, he looked at Mario with a warm, calm expression. His eyes held no ripples or emotions, just a gentle gaze. His lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile as he spoke in a low, mellow tone, "Good evening, Miss King. Tonight, I entrust you to take good care of Auntie. Sienna and I will accompany Auntie for a stroll in Hance City tomorrow."
After Rex finished speaking, Mario remained silent for a long time. His face showed no excess expression or change, just a calm look directed at one spot.
