In the hall, Pansy gestured for Mason to sit on the sofa. “Alright, since you’ve already treated Sienna’s wound, we won’t bother looking at it again so late. We’ll see tomorrow if it gets any worse.”

Mason took the cup of water from Eden and sat down.

His gaze drifted and happened to fall upon a conspicuously placed, exquisite glass display case in the very center of the living room. Inside was a vibrant red certificate of commendation.

Mason raised his eyebrow slightly.

Spotting Mason’s gaze, Gerard couldn’t hide his pride and grinned. “That’s a national award Sienna received. She wanted to keep a low profile and kept telling us to stash it away in the study, but I figured…

“Come on, this is a national–level certificate with the embossed national emblem. Such a great honor absolutely deserves the most prominent spot. We get happy seeing it every day.”

Of course, he couldn’t exactly flaunt the certificate out in public.

But with Mason finally sitting here, this was a golden opportunity to show off–and there was no way Gerard was going to let it slip away.

Mason smiled genuinely. “Sienna’s amazing.”

“Obviously. She is my daughter,” Gerard said, grinning with pride.

Amanda, watching from the sidelines, bit her lower lip hard, her face a mask of jealousy as she stared at that national certificate.

She saw the pride and joy radiating from Gerard’s face, and she saw Mason’s intense, admiring gaze fixed on the certificate.

It made her so angry that she felt like vomiting blood.

‘That award should’ve been mine.

‘Dad should be proud of me.

‘Mason should be admiring me.

‘That country bumpkin Sienna is always trying to take everything from me. Amanda gritted her teeth.

‘She stole Mom and Dad, took my brother, grabbed Mason–and now even the credit that’s supposed to be mine,’ she thought resentfully.

The more Amanda dwelt on it, the more bitter she felt.

Her heart was sour with envy and jealousy. She was practically sick with it.

Amanda couldn’t hold back anymore. She took a deep breath and hurried down the stairs. “Mason?”

As if just noticing him, her face lit up in apparent surprise, and she practically threw herself his way. “Mason, I didn’t expect to see you here this late. Did you bring my sister home?”

She gave him a sweet, affectionate smile, her eyes glimmering with warmth. “Thank you for taking Sienna back so late. Then again, she’s so pretty, always staying out this late. You never know what could happen out there. It’s really not safe.”

It sounded like gratitude towards Mason.

But between the lines, she was hinting at Mason–Sienna’s habit of staying out until all hours.

What kind of respectable girl stays out so late every day, making her family wait up for her?‘ Amanda mocked in her mind, full of contempt.

‘Bet she’s out there mixing with all sorts of losers and lowlifes.

‘Typical–she’s just some backwater bumpkin, always getting into shady trouble!

However, the moment Amanda rushed towards him, Mason’s dark brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He leaned slightly toward Sienna, cool and enigmatic as ever, his expression completely indifferent. “Seeing Sienna home is only natural. There’s no need for you to thank me on her behalf.”

With that, he stood up. “It’s late. I won’t trouble you all any further.”

He didn’t spare Amanda so much as a single glance, his demeanor as cold as ever, not a hint of concern. “And for the record, when Sienna comes home is entirely up to her. It’s really none of your business.”

The smile froze on Amanda’s face. She stared blankly at Mason, who showed her no consideration and was completely biased towards Sienna. The color slowly drained from her face.

Tears welled up in her eyes in an instant.

‘Mason is always so gentle with Sienna… Why does he look at me like I’m nobody to him?‘ Amanda thought.

‘Is he really always siding with her?‘

‘Is Mason’s tenderness really meant for Sienna alone?‘

The more Amanda thought about it, the more her heart ached unbearably, as if it were being gripped tightly and torn into pieces.

The pain was excruciating.

Yet Mason couldn’t see any of her heartbreak; his cold eyes held not a trace of emotion.

But now, his gaze did fall on Amanda. “Also, Miss Amanda Cooper, let me reiterate, we are not close. Please do not address me in that manner again. It makes me very uncomfortable.”

Chapter 114

Considering Gerard and Pansy were right there, Mason was actually holding back a lot.

But even then, the icy way Mason shut her down was so direct and ruthless that Amanda’s cheeks burned with embarrassment.

Her tears fell, pattering down. Her pitiful, aggrieved eyes shot a glance full of accusation at Mason.

Then, covering her face, she ran upstairs sobbing.

As she ran, her voice finally broke into sobs–a sound she’d held back for ages.

“Amanda…” Pansy watched as Amanda dashed upstairs, quickly calling after her.

But Amanda ignored her, storming into her room and slamming the door shut with a heavy bang.

Pansy let out a sigh and gave Mason an apologetic look. “Mason, Amanda is really into you. She just got a little emotional and acted out for a moment. Don’t take it too personally.”

“You’re being too kind, Mrs. Cooper,” Mason replied, his gaze genuine and steady. “If anyone should apologize, it’s me. Maybe I was a bit too harsh with Amanda earlier.

“I hope you both understand–my heart already belongs to Sienna. She’s the only one I want. That’s why I keep my distance from any other girl and won’t let anything come between us. It’s how I show respect for Sienna and take this relationship seriously.”

Gerard and Pansy couldn’t stop nodding, genuinely impressed by every word Mason said.

The two exchanged a glance and saw full approval in each other’s eyes.
