Chapter 211
With a simple white shirt, his gentle, flirtatious eyes glimmered. “Want to grab dinner with me?”
Though he looked calm, she could sense his nerves underneath. She guessed his hand behind his back was clenched, and there was a trace of careful hope in his eyes.
“Yeah, sure,” she replied.
Wayne’s eyes lit up with excitement. “Really?”
Sienna raised an eyebrow, teasing him back. “Why wouldn’t I?”
Wayne was so thrilled that he stumbled over his words and fumbled with the car door. “Sienna, please, get in.” He opened the door for her, and Sienna gave Reno a look, signaling him to leave first. Reno nodded and stepped back.
“Miss Enna really is the center of attention wherever she goes,” Reno thought.
He couldn’t help but think that Wayne and Sienna were a perfect match. They were childhood sweethearts, and the chemistry between them was undeniable. Reno was totally shipping them.
Once they were in the car, Wayne quickly grabbed a bouquet of pink roses studded with gold from the back seat. “Sienna, I hope you like these.”
Sienna took it and gave him a knowing smile. “Thank you, I like them. This is…”
Wayne hurried to explain, “Sienna, I saw you’re wearing a Junova watch. They just released a narcissus blue bracelet under their brand, and I thought it would suit you perfectly. I wasn’t sure if you’d like it.”
His heart was thundering in his chest as he looked at her, full of anticipation.
It’s just a little thing, only ten million dollars… I wonder if she’ll think it’s too much, he thought nervously.
Sienna gently picked up the bracelet. The blue bracelet shimmered in her hand like flowing light, absolutely gorgeous. Tiny narcissus flowers were delicately engraved inside, and the soft pink-blue hue gave it a magical, fairy-like aura.
“I really love it, thank you. But it’s way too expensive. How am I supposed to return the favor?” she asked with a playful tilt of her head.
Wayne finally let out a breath he’d been holding, his heart settling down. He smiled, gentle as a spring breeze. “Just have dinner with me. That’s all the thanks I want, okay?”
Sienna shot him a charming smile, her eyes sparkling with starlight. She looked so dazzling and elegant, as if she was glowing from the inside out. For a moment, Wayne’s gaze locked onto her, and the whole world seemed to fade away—she was the only one in his world.
“A diner worth tens of millions! You’re losing out here,” she teased.
Wayne’s eyes reflected only her, and a hint of a smile played on his dark red lips. “Actually, I’m the lucky one here. Having a fairy like you keep company with an ordinary guy like me. That’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
“How do you like the food?” Wayne asked softly, his heart pounding as he waited for her answer.
Sienna took a few bites and said, “It’s really good. Is this restaurant yours?”
“Yeah, business is alright. Sienna, I know you don’t like beating around the bush or any drama, but I really like you. Even though you spared my pride with your gentle rejection, I’m not giving up. I want to win you over,” he said, his voice steady and sincere.
He'd opened this restaurant when he earned his first three million dollars, designing the whole menu around her favorite dishes—hoping that one day, she’d come here and never have to worry about what to order.
Maybe her tastes would change someday, but he could always update the menu. Besides, he had his silly little "stater" to help him keep tabs on her preferences—a few hundred knacks, she thought.
