\u201cWhat is it with you lately? You haven\u2019t attended any recent tea parties or art exhibitions. You even canceled your golf lessons. Some people are asking me if you\u2019re resting at home because you\u2019re pregnant.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna\u2019s temples were throbbing. Irene had often arranged different classes for her to attend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Flowers had to be arranged precisely at certain angles. Tea leaves could only be steeped for a certain amount of time. Sienna also had to smile and walk elegantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before this, Sienna would attend these classes since she was free and she didn\u2019t have to pay for them. So, she listened to Irene obediently.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, things were different now. Sienna had other things to do. She had no time to participate in this training intended to make her an elegant, sophisticated lady.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just as she was about to decline Irene\u2019s request, Sienna felt someone pulling her from behind, causing her to stagger backward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou shouldn\u2019t speak to her the way you would scold your subordinates in the past.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton appeared out of nowhere and stood between Sienna and Irene.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene\u2019s voice softened a little when she saw him. \u201cI\u2019m doing this for her sake.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIs she my wife or your wife?\u201d Clayton did not buy what she said. He smirked. \u201cYou got her participating in so many different classes. What\u2019s the point of her learning all that? Was it so she could beat all those rich ladies who had too much time on their hands?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene stiffened. She opened her mouth but didn\u2019t say anything in the end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Clayton continued mercilessly, \u201cIf you like ordering her around that much, you should get yourself a wife too so you could boss her around instead.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna pinched the back of Clayton\u2019s hand discreetly to signal him to stop.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton grabbed her wrist and dragged her toward the front door. He grumbled with dissatisfaction, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t you say anything to my mom? Weren\u2019t you really great at dissing me? Do you only lash out at those whom you\u2019re familiar with?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna pulled her hand free. \u201cHow could I possibly do that to her? She\u2019s your mom, after all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Besides, Irene had at most nagged her a little. She treated Sienna pretty well. She was much better than those people who seemed friendly but had malicious intentions toward her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Therefore, the feelings Sienna had toward Irene were more of respect. She would listen to her nagging but not pay much heed to it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not as sharp-tongued as you are.\u201d Sienna cast him a sideways glance. \u201cGrandpa even fainted after learning what had happened. What do we do now?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton\u2019s brows arched. He replied matter-of-factly, \u201cWhat do you mean? We\u2019ll just leave things as they are.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna had a dumbfounded look on her face. She suggested, \u201cWhy don\u2019t we just go ahead and proceed with completing the divorce procedure first. We can announce the news to everyone after Grandpa achieves full recovery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you really think Grandpa is that dumb? You don\u2019t have to do things in such a roundabout way if you plan on driving him up the wall.\u201d Clayton poked Sienna\u2019s forehead with his finger.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, you refused to divorce me because you were worried about Grandpa? Have you always been so considerate of him?\u201d Sienna stared at Clayton intently with those dark eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat other reason could it be?\u201d Clayton let out a scoff. \u201cHe was the one who forced me to get married. There\u2019s no way he\u2019ll forgive me if I proceed with the divorce without his permission.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He scanned Sienna from head to toe. \u201cBesides, you\u2019re not so attractive that I\u2019ll want to hold onto you forever.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna felt a terrible ache in her heart. Still, she smiled brightly. \u201cFine. I\u2019m not so narcissistic as to think that I\u2019m really a great catch. We\u2019ll go our separate ways once Grandpa\u2019s had his surgery.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She turned around and was about to walk away. Yet, Clayton caught hold of her arm and dragged her along toward the car.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAre you planning on walking home from here, which is in the middle of nowhere? I\u2019ll give you a lift. Otherwise, you\u2019ll call me mean again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI can\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you drive?\u201d Clayton cut her off and said in a slightly mocking tone, \u201cYou failed the driving test for two years. Even your driving instructor was considering switching careers after watching you fail over and over again.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was a bit flustered and embarrassed. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t as long as two years. It was just one year! My driving instructor and I were a little incompatible. He said I was turning the steering wheel in a really weird way. I couldn\u2019t go there for a while, and I eventually forgot what I learned. That was all.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton opened the car door and smirked. \u201cYou\u2019re trying to pin the blame on some other reason again, you little liar? Why were you the only one who failed the test when others passed it? Was it a sudden gene mutation? Or is your brain slightly underdeveloped?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna was exasperated hearing those words. She remained silent but was positively fuming as she got into the backseat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton sat in the driver\u2019s seat. He glanced over his shoulder at her. \u201cWhy are you in the backseat? Move to the front seat.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna crossed her arms and snorted. \u201cI should sit in the back since I don\u2019t have a driving license. I\u2019m not like Mr. Driver here, whose brain is fully developed. You should sit in front and show off your excellent driving skills. Please drop me off at Longview Garden. Thank you.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Clayton\u2019s brows twitched. \u201cYou\u2019ve been addressing me as Mr. Hale. Now you\u2019re calling me Mr. Driver. How many more nicknames are you giving me?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sienna called out several names, \u201cBro, old perv, bastard, miser\u2026 You can pick whichever you like.\u201d Clayton started the engine and lifted his brows. \u201cWhy isn\u2019t there \u2018Hubby\u2019?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
