Chapter 698
Sayler was seriously ticked off Liam couldn’t care less about the Barlow family, yet he was generous and friendly with his ex–wife
She counted herself lucky they were divorced. If not, Liam’s infatuation with that woman might run even more profound, shaking her position in the Reed family
firight and early. Skyler showed up at the old house.
She’d been laying low this month due to the drama at the birthday party, which had left Sienna pretty peeved at her. Apart from visiting the injured guests, she mainly came to the house to apologize
But Sienna didn’t want to see her Every time Skyler came, she either got a closed door in her face, or Sienna wouldn’t say a word if they did meet
Skyler had managed to marry into the Reed family not only because she was pregnant but also due to her tenacity.
When she first got pregnant, Sienna disapproved of the mamage But Skyler had patience and persistence. She’d come to the old house daily to serve tea and do chores
Old Mr. Reed had a soft spot. After a while, he began to sympathize with a pregnant woman who, apart from her tarnished reputation, had a hard life. Plus, this stalemate wasn’t doing the Reed family’s reputation any good. After a few persuasions, Sienna finally agreed to the marriage.

But back then, she was desperate to marry into the Reed family, so she didn’t mind getting her hands dirty or tired. Now after enjoying decades of privileged life with the Reeds, she naturally found such chores repugnant.

Sienna, watching from afar, didn’t bother with Skyler. She went to another part of the garden to prune the tomatoes
Seeing Sienna. Skyler hastily followed her with the spray bottle. “Mom, let the servants do this kind of work.”
Dodging her hand, Sienna said calmly. “It’s my garden. I should tend to it myself. That way, I can spot any plant problem and deal with it right away”
Even though Sienna was talking about plants. Skyler felt her words had some hidden meaning
She looked embarrassed and said lowly. “Mom, I visited the injured guests from the birthday party again yesterday. They’re mostly recovered now.”
Sienna didn’t respond
Skyler continued, “Mom, some friends have introduced me to eligible girls. Liam’s been divorced for a while now. Don’t you think it’s time he had a girlfriend? The Reed family is small if he had a child sooner, you could rest easy”
“Fine” Sienna replied without looking up, “As long as Liam agrees, I have no objection”
Skyler
She couldn’t convince Liam, so she turned to Sienna, hoping she could put pressure on him.
But Sienna just tossed the ball back into her court.
