Five Years Gone, She Returned a Billionaire
Chapter 374: What a Humiliating Scene
What a humiliating scene! Sienna clenched her fists, feeling the weight of everyone's mocking stares. Why would Lucas do this to her? Why publicly embarrass her like that? Thankfully, Beatrice was quick to smooth things over. "Oh dear... Lucas has always been this way, completely consumed by work. It's all business with him!"
"Quite understandable! That's precisely why Harrington Global thrives," the guests chimed in politely.
The tension eased slightly, allowing Sienna to discreetly signal Cassandra. They needed to discover why Lucas left so abruptly!
Meanwhile, Sienna and Caleb arrived at Willowcrest Estate and stepped inside.
Caleb expected an empty mansion, but was immediately confronted with evidence of other occupants - men's shoes and children's footwear scattered near the entrance. A child's drawing board lay on the sofa, covered with adorable animal sketches. The entire place radiated warmth and domestic life. His brow furrowed. Was Sienna living with someone? Upstairs, cheerful laughter echoed through the hall. "Fly! Noah is flying! Miles, let me fly higher!" Sienna's expression softened instantly at the familiar voice, and she hurried upstairs. Caleb followed, perplexed. 'Noah'? Why did that name sound familiar?
They entered a spectacular room spanning two floors with an eight-meter ceiling. The wall was transformed into a climbing surface with professional grips. Noah descended skillfully, secured by safety harnesses. He moved with astonishing agility, stepping between stones like a trained professional. Sienna watched with pride. Her son moved with such natural grace!
Miles approached her, impressed. "No wonder he's Mr. Harrington's son - those genes are remarkable. I expected to guide him step-by-step, but he's leaping three stones at once! Mastered it in ten minutes flat! Reminds me of your training days at the base!" Sienna had been weak initially, but her uncles' rigorous training unlocked her potential. She'd mastered climbing in the same timeframe. It was as if motherhood had unleashed her inner strength after leaving Derek and surviving the stillbirth. Sienna smiled proudly. "Of course! Look who his mother is!"
Miles shook his head in amusement. Noah's biological mother remained unknown, and Sienna was merely his stepmother! Spotting Sienna, Noah descended eagerly. "Mommy! You're back! Look, I can climb now! I can fly!"
"I saw everything, sweetheart. I'll make your favorite chicken wings for lunch as a reward!" Sienna ruffled his hair affectionately.
Noah clapped excitedly. "Yay!" During his celebration, he noticed Caleb behind Sienna. "Mommy, why is he here?" His smile vanished. This man had nearly made Mommy leave the Starlight Gala! Daddy had to travel far away to rescue him because of this man! He didn't like him at all! Caleb studied Noah, confusion mounting. While he knew Lucas was serious about Sienna, he hadn't realized they were still together! And she'd formed such a close bond with the young heir!
