Amanda was over the moon, her lips curling into a smile, but her voice stayed soft. “Mia, are you sure that’s a good idea? What if Mason finds out? He might get mad…”

“What’s wrong with that? You’re doing this for Mason, and for the Brown family.” Mia’s voice was a bit shrill. “Amanda, you’re coming with me to the Brown Villa tomorrow.”

Amanda’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

She was just thinking of ways to increase her presence in front of Sherwood, and now Mia was practically handing her the perfect opportunity.

“Well… okay then. Mia. I’ll do whatever you say,” Amanda replied, putting on an act of reluctant selflessness, as though she was nobly sacrificing for the Brown family. But inside, she was absolutely thrilled.

“That’s the spirit, Amanda,” Beatriz said with a pleased grin. “Right now, what you need to do is use everything you’ve got to make Mr. Brown yours. If you manage to have his child, you’ll have all the leverage you need to marry into the Brown family.

“Tomorrow, you need to shine. Make sure Sherwood sees that you’re the only woman worthy to be Mason’s wife. Once he’s convinced, the family engagement will be yours.”

After stating his position clearly, Mason spoke politely: “Mr. and Mrs. Cooper, it’s really quite late now. I won’t disturb you further.”

At this hour, Gerard and Pansy didn’t press him to stay.

They nodded. “Thanks for bringing Sienna home, Mason. And… we really liked the gifts you sent last time.”

I’m glad you liked them,” Mason replied, his smile warm and gentle.

Sienna shot him a look, her lips twitching at his fake politeness.

She stood up, grabbed Mason by the arm, and started pulling him toward the door. “I’ll walk you out.”

The moment Sienna’s hand clasped Mason’s arm, his devilishly handsome and usually icy face softened.

He just quirked his lips into a smile, obediently letting Sienna pull him along.

His dark, enchanting eyes, once aloof, now overflowed with a soft, doting warmth.

Gerard and Pansy exchanged glances and smirked knowingly at each other.

‘Well, well… Gerard thought, amused. ‘Sienna clearly doesn’t dislike Mason

There’s definitely some sparks flying, Pansy thought to herself.

Chapter 116

Once Sienna had dragged Mason out of the house, she was about to let go of his arm.

But the moment she did, Mason caught her hand. “Since you offered to walk me out, you’ve got to see it through, fiancée.”

The way Mason said “fiancée” had a teasing, playful ring to it.

Sienna’s heart did another little flutter. She bit her lip and retorted, “I never agreed to any engagement.”

“I know,” Mason said, his eyes glimmering with that flirtatious little smile. “Guess I’ll just have to work harder.”

Sienna rolled her eyes. “Whatever.”

Her pretty, cool face tightened up as she dropped her gaze to where Mason was still holding her hand.

Mason’s fingers were long and elegant, knuckles sharp, honestly better looking than any guy’s hands had a right to be.

Under the moonlight, his pale skin glowed softly, the light making his fingers look like carved jade.

Still, she couldn’t bring herself to pull away.

She wasn’t swooning over his looks or anything.

Really, it was just that Mason was way too thick–skinned–trying to shake him off would be useless.

It was only a quick walk to the manor gate anyway, so Sienna didn’t have the energy to fuss about it.

Mason glanced down, noticing how Sienna was also staring intently at his hand, her little face all serious and tense. Honestly, she was so adorable that it made him want to…

He coughed, trying to play it cool and stop himself from getting too carried away.

His smile deepened, the soft, doting warmth in his eyes nearly spilling over.

“Eh, it’s fine, Mason thought. ‘No need to rush.’

He had all the time he needed. He could wait for Sienna to accept him.

Chasing a girl was a slow game.

The important thing was to never rush; patience was key.

And when it came to Sienna, Mason had more than enough patience to spare.

At least now she didn’t mind holding his hand. Honestly, that was progress.

They strolled to the manor gate, still hand in hand.

Just as Sienna was about to pull her hand away, Mason tightened his grip.

His usually charming eyes went all soft and puppy–dog sad. “I can’t bear to let go… What am I supposed to

do?”

Sienna narrowed her eyes, shooting him a teasing look. “What do you want to do?”

“Hmm…” Mason looked troubled, playing it up. “If I said I wanted to stay the night with you, I bet Rolf would leap out of bed and come after me, swinging his cane.”

As he spoke, he leaned in, his voice brushing intimately against her ear. “Guess I’ll have to settle… Sienna, how about a hug?”

“Typical, always pushing his luck,‘ Sienna thought.

She flicked her gaze up, staring right at his impossibly perfect face just inches away.

Expressionless, she lifted her other hand and pressed it hard against his stupidly gorgeous face.

She gave his infuriatingly perfect face a hard push.

Without missing a beat, she pressed his face away, putting plenty of space between his lips and her ear.

Sienna said, “Scram.”

Then, she pulled her hand back, turned, and walked away.

Her steps held no hesitation.

Honestly, it looked a bit like she was fleeing the scene.

Mason lingered at the gate as he watched Sienna’s figure disappear down the path.

He curled his lips into a sly, satisfied grin. “I’ll come pick you up first thing tomorrow.”

Sienna’s steps didn’t pause.

Mason kept watching until the lights went out in the main house.

Only then did he tear his gaze away and turn to leave.

Just as Sienna stepped into her room, she could faintly hear the purr of an engine starting up outside.
