My Ex-husband Begs Me Back (Ayan and Camille) novel Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160: Stability

At this moment, only Sienna and Mrs. King were present. So, there wasn't the same formality between them as when Mario was around. Although Mrs. King was happy to have Sienna's company, there were still some concerns lingering in her heart.

After exchanging glances for a while, Mrs. King calmly asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

Mario lightly pursed her lips, her expression hesitant. She was unsure where to start or how to initiate the conversation.

Her indecision made Mrs. King's face show a hint of disappointment. Mrs. King asked, "Is it something difficult to talk about?"

Sienna shook her head and said, "No, it's not that it's difficult. I just don't know how to approach the topic with you."

She took a silent deep breath, her voice very soft as she continued, "Mom, your visit to Hance City this time isn't just about seeing me, right? Last time in Flento City, things between us weren't pleasant. Actually, such unpleasantness wasn't something we wanted to happen, but reality and our respective positions left us with no choice, isn't that right?"

Sienna smiled awkwardly, a bitter touch on her lips, making Mrs. King's heart ache. Although she couldn't compare to Mario, Sienna had still grown up by her side. Saying she didn't feel distressed would be a lie.

Observing Sienna's demeanor, Mrs. King's eyebrows furrowed slightly. She spoke softly to Sienna, "Sienna, Mom doesn't truly want to sever the mother-daughter relationship with you. Mom is just forced to do it. There are things you are aware of. Your brother has come a long way, and he absolutely cannot make any mistakes. If he takes one wrong step, all his efforts will be in vain. So..."

"Mom, I understand what you mean. I know you're not targeting me. My brother has worked really hard to reach this point in the King family. I'm well aware of that. So, I understand that what you're doing is for my brother's good. I don't have any complaints or blame. That's also the main reason why I came to talk to you today."

Mrs. King looked at Sienna with confusion. She asked, "Talk about your brother's matters?"

"Yes." Sienna nodded gently. She spoke at a moderate pace, "The reason why my brother is so persistent now is because he's used to having me behind him. As long as he turns around, he can see me with one glance. But suddenly, I changed. I have my own circle and world now. When he turns around, he sees an empty scene. He's not used to it, just not used to it. It's only that. Once he slowly adapts, he'll realize that behind him isn't just me, but many others. He just hasn't noticed it temporarily."

Every word from Sienna was considered for Mario. This behavior naturally pleased Mrs. King. Sienna met Mrs. King's probing gaze without avoiding it, continuing, "Mom, I need your cooperation. As long as you cooperate with me, my brother will soon see clearly. Once he does, he won't continue his current actions."

Mrs. King, puzzled, looked at Sienna and asked, "How do I cooperate with you?"

"Rest assured, it won't harm your relationship with your son." Sienna gave Mrs. King a preemptive reassurance. Then, she continued, "Didn't my brother want you to come to Hance City to cooperate with him? So, you follow his instructions. However, I'll refuse you for various reasons. On your side, follow my brother's arrangements. I'll just refuse more decisively. You mustn't be unhappy about it, okay?"

Sienna explained in a low voice, and Mrs. King fell into a brief silence, seemingly seriously considering whether Sienna's suggestion would be effective.

Currently, she was indeed doing things according to Mario's wishes, but the result was only an increasing number of meetings between Sienna and Mario because of her. Was Mario hoping that, through this method, the two would develop feelings over time?

Mrs. King actually knew from the beginning that these thoughts had arisen from the moment Mario spoke to her. However, she couldn't refuse Mario's words.

Mrs. King sighed silently, then spoke slowly, "Sienna, is this method effective?"
