Chapter 330
Sienna turned to look at him, taking in the gentle, noble look on his face. She spoke slowly, "Julian, this really isn’t fair to you. I honestly don’t know when I’ll want to get married. Maybe in three years, maybe even longer…"
Sienna had to admit, her mother’s marriage had left a mark on her. Her mom never loved her dad – their whole relationship was just business, pure calculation. Sienna had never felt any warmth in that family.
She just didn’t have the courage to step into marriage herself.
“Even if it takes a lifetime, I’ll wait,” Julian murmured, cupping her face and pressing soft kisses to her eyelids and the tip of her nose.
His lips hovered just above hers, about to close the distance, when a sudden, urgent knock sounded at the door.
“Enna!” It was Nora.
Startled, Sienna shoved Julian away, her heart pounding.
Julian asked carefully, “Do I need to hide?”
Sienna gave him a look. “We didn’t even do anything. What would you be hiding for!”
Sienna opened the door, and Nora, clearly annoyed, said, “Enna, you just disappeared without saying a word. Hurry up and get downstairs. Something’s happened.”
Sienna hurried downstairs, with Julian coming out of her room right after. Nora’s eyes went wide in shock. She slapped a hand over her mouth, pointing at their backs, then darting a look into the room.
“Wait? Were they just...” Nora’s mind was spinning with wild guesses. "Ugh, I’m such a sinner. Why did I disturb them?"
“Nora, you are the queen of ruining the mood. Enna, I totally screwed up—wait, come back. Let me handle this little mess, you two just get back to whatever you were doing."
When Sienna got downstairs, she was hit with a scene straight out of a wild reality show. Wayne and Miles, both shirtless, were dancing on the lawn like nobody was watching. The whole thing was absolutely wild.
"Mr. Sinclair versus Mr. Quinn? Are they seriously having a dance-off right now!" Sienna thought, half amused, half exasperated.
They were dancing with so much heat. It was honestly way too sexy.
Rowena and the other girls all had their eyes shining, completely glued to the scene.
“Sienna? It’s you," Wayne spotted her, staggered over, and just pulled her into a hug, murmuring. “I like you.”
Julian’s face instantly darkened when he heard that. He marched over and yanked Wayne away from Sienna. But as soon as Wayne saw him, he pointed and slurred, “You bastard!”
Everyone was stunned.
“I hate you. Why do you have to be better looking than me! Julian, you damn show-off," Wayne grumbled, clearly wasted. “You’re such a schemer, you big bad wolf!”
“Wayne, calm down,” Julian said, trying to keep his cool.
Wayne shouted, “I am calm!” Then, suddenly, he lunged at Julian. Julian wasn’t ready at all and got tackled straight to the ground.
Rowena exclaimed, “Oh my gosh!”
Wayne ended up on top of Julian, pinning him down and humming. “Say it. Admit you like...”
Sienna was mortified. She slapped her forehead and frantically called for the bodyguards.
Wayne was totally wasted and heavy as a rock, stubbornly holding Julian down with all his drunken might.
“Say you love me, and I’ll let you go. Otherwise, I’m sleeping in your bed tonight,” Wayne slurred, totally oblivious to who he was actually talking to.
It was obvious Wayne had no idea who he was pinning down.
Julian was about to explode, realizing Wayne thought he was Sienna. He shoved Wayne off with all his strength, but as soon as he got up, Wayne latched onto his waist, whining. “Don’t go. Stay with me.”
Sienna couldn’t even laugh.
I can’t watch anymore. Wayne is like a little kid when he’s drunk – it’s actually kind of adorable, she thought, trying not to smile.
Julian, meanwhile, was bright red and so mad he could barely breathe.
Clark, ever the instigator, was off to the side hyping them up. “Kiss. Kiss. Come on, kiss him already,” he chanted, totally stirring the pot.
Julian was ready to murder someone right then and there. He shot Clark a deadly glare and snarled through clenched teeth, “Clark?”
Just as everyone was laughing and having a blast, the mood shifted. Lana walked in with heavy steps, her face serious as she looked straight at Sienna.
Sienna’s smile faded away. She turned and walked out after Lana.
“Miss Enna, there’s trouble," Lana said urgently.
