Chapter 464 A Hundred Percent Genuine
“Winston, are you listening?” Sienna’s gentle yet urgent voice flowed out from the phone.
Winston didn’t respond right away.
He pressed his lips together a couple of times and let out a breath quietly.

When she heard nothing from him, Sienna continued, “It’s okay if you don’t feel like talking… then let me speak instead–I’m sorry, Winston. Truly.”
She gave a self–deprecatingugh as she said that.
<i>Lately</i><i>, </i><i>it </i>felt <i>like </i><i>all </i><i>I </i><i>had </i><i>done </i><i>was </i><i>apologize- </i>
<i>To </i><i>Samuel</i><i>, </i><i>to </i><i>Winston</i>…
<i>But </i>I <i>really </i><i>should</i><i>. </i>
<i>I </i><i>owed </i><i>my </i><i>children </i><i>more </i><i>than </i><i>just </i><i>one </i><i>apology</i><i>. </i>
And <i>those </i><i>apologies </i><i>came </i><i>from </i><i>the </i><i>bottom </i><i>of </i><i>my </i><i>heart</i>.
“I know no matter how much I say right now, you probably won’t believe me,” Sienna’s voice quivered a little. “You’re at that age where you’re sensitive and guarded. I get it. It’s hard to trust someone who once left you with a shadow in your heart.”
Something inside Winston stirred.
He lowered his gaze. The light in his eyes shifted, flickering with uncertainty, as if he was lost in thought.
“So I won’t say anything too cheesy.” Sienna’s tone gradually lightened, filled with an indescribable warmth.
“Juste home more often. I’ll do my best to treat you right. I mean it. Watch how I do it.”
Winston’s fingers curled ever so slightly.
<i>Dominic </i>and <i>Sienna </i><i>had </i><i>both </i><i>said simr </i><i>things </i><i>to </i><i>me</i><i>. </i>
<i>They </i><i>both </i><i>apologized</i>. <i>They </i><i>both </i><i>promised </i><i>they </i><i>would </i><i>do </i><i>better, </i><i>be </i><i>better </i><i>to </i><i>me </i><i>from </i><i>now </i><i>on</i>.
<i>I’m </i><i>not </i><i>some </i><i>clueless </i><i>fool </i>who <i>can’t </i><i>tell </i><i>real </i><i>from </i><i>fake</i>.
<i>Of </i><i>course </i><i>I </i><i>can </i><i>feel </i><i>it</i><i>–</i><i>that </i><i>they </i><i>truly </i><i>meant </i><i>every </i><i>word </i><i>they </i>said<i>, </i>
At <i>this </i><i>moment</i><i>, </i><i>Dominic </i><i>and </i><i>Sienna </i><i>were </i><i>showing </i><i>me </i><i>nothing </i><i>but </i><i>a </i><i>hundred </i><i>percent </i><i>sincerity</i>.
<i>I </i><i>could </i><i>feel </i><i>their </i><i>overwhelming </i><i>emotions</i>, <i>their </i><i>intense </i><i>desire </i><i>to </i><i>reach </i><i>me</i>.
<i>But- </i>
My <i>head’s </i><i>a </i><i>mess</i><b><i>. </i></b>
<i>I </i>didn’t even know <i>how </i>I <i>was </i>supposed to <i>react</i><i>. </i><i>Should </i><i>I </i><i>just </i>ept it? <i>Or </i><i>should </i><i>I </i>take <i>some </i><i>time </i>to <i>cool </i><i>off</i><i>? </i>
For the <i>longest </i><i>time</i><i>, </i><i>I’d </i><i>convinced </i><i>myself </i><i>I </i>didn’t <i>need </i><i>any </i><i>of </i><i>this</i>. I <i>didn’t </i><i>need </i><i>a </i><i>family</i>.

<b><i>And </i></b><i>now</i><b>… </b><i>all </i><b><i>of </i></b><i>them </i><b><i>had </i></b><i>opened </i><i>their </i>arms <b><i>to </i></b>wee <i>me </i><i>back </i><i>into </i>something <b><i>I </i></b><b><i>had </i></b><b><i>already </i></b><b>cut </b><b>off </b><b>long </b><b>ago</b><b>. </b>
<b><i>I </i></b><i>felt </i><i>overwhelmed</i>. <b><i>Lost</i></b>.
On the other end, Sienna still hadn’t heard anything from him. The silence made her heart sink <b>a </b><b>little</b><b>. </b>
She lowered her eyes and tried to gather her thoughts, hoping to find the right words.
<i>No </i><i>matter </i>what, I still <i>want </i><i>to </i><i>reach </i>him.
Jean watched her brother’s indifferent expression and silence. She sighed inwardly.
<i>Ugh</i><i>, </i><i>stubborn </i><i>as </i><i>ever</i>.
Then suddenly-
Sienna’s voice on the phone abruptly rose. “Samuel… What happened to him?”
<i>Samuel</i><i>? </i>
Jean’s eyes flew open.
<i>Samuel </i><i>had </i><i>been </i><i>staying </i><i>at </i><i>the </i><i>Ginger </i><i>mansion </i><i>to </i><i>recover</i><i>, </i><i>and </i><i>his </i><i>condition </i><i>had </i><i>been </i><i>stable </i><i>for </i><i>a </i><i>while </i>now.
<i>What </i><i>just </i><i>happened</i><i>? </i>
“Winston, let’s pause this for now,” Sienna’s voice wasced with panic. At that moment, her thoughts were already with Samuel. She didn’t have the attention to spare for anything else. “I’m hanging up for now. I’ll call youter.”
Winston parted his lips, wanting to ask what had happened to Samuel…
But before he could say a single word, the call ended.
Jean and Dominic both looked serious. They exchanged a nce but said nothing.
A heavy silence fell over the room for a moment.
“I think it’s time we head back.” Dominic was the first to speak. His gaze swept over Jean and Winston before finallynding on Winston’s eyes.
