Chapter 168: Sienna, Be My Little Sister

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Sienna, Be My Little Sister

Ian Prescott was worried about Sienna Everett going to the airport alone, so he drove her.

Even though they were in Meridia, a city in Yesteria, it wasn’t surprising that Ian Prescott managed to get a car, since the Prescott Family had business interests there.

Sienna Everett had just gotten in the car when Keith Sterling came dashing over, his smile more radiant than a sunflower. "Wait for me, wait for me! I’ll go with you guys. It’s so boring at the hotel, I’m about to grow mold from sitting around!"

Sienna Everett decisively shut the car door and spoke to him through the window. "What would you even do there? Just stay at the hotel and don’t wander off."

Then she looked over at Evan Shelby and instructed, "You keep an eye on Keith Sterling. Don’t let him..."

Sienna Everett stopped mid-sentence, realizing her mistake. Those two were either bickering or about to start. ’It’d be a miracle if Evan could actually keep Keith in line.’

Sienna Everett had no choice but to turn to Orion Hawthorne. "You watch Keith Sterling and Evan Shelby."

Keith Sterling immediately protested, shaking his fist. "Sierra, I’m the boss! If anyone’s doing the watching, it should be me watching Orion Hawthorne!"

"Yes, boss. You’re right about everything. We’ll do whatever you say. Goodbye, boss!" Sienna Everett said, placating him perfunctorily. "Be a good boy and stay put. I’ll buy you a treat when I get back!"

"Do you think I’m a three-year-old? Buying me treats? I’m not that easy to fool anymore!" Keith Sterling continued his protest. "I want something fun, not something tasty!"

Sienna Everett: "..."

’He hasn’t matured much at all, has he?’

「On the way to the airport.」

Sienna Everett received a text from Isabelle Sutton:

[Sienna, I’ve landed. Liam Lynn came to the airport to pick me up, but I’d still rather stay with you.]

[This is a great chance for you to meet Liam Lynn when you get here!]

Sienna Everett replied: [Okay, I’ll be there soon.]

There was no traffic, so she’d be there in about five minutes.

Ian Prescott drove, watching Sienna Everett in the passenger seat out of the corner of his eye.

The young woman was looking down at her phone. Her long lashes cast shadows beneath her eyes, her nose was elegantly straight, and her skin was fair and translucent. The sunset’s afterglow streamed through the window, bathing her delicate profile in a soft halo.

Ian Prescott couldn’t help but say, "Your decision to leave the Everett Family was the right one."

Sienna Everett paused, then looked up at him. A vibrant, lively smile blossomed on her cherry-red lips, her eyes crinkling with joy. She was practically glowing with high spirits. "Of course it was!"

After leaving the Everett Family, she had crawled out of a suffocating swamp. She was living more freely, more brightly, and she’d found a group of good friends who truly cared about her.

The obsession with family and kinship that had long occupied her heart seemed to be gradually fading away.

She was slowly freeing herself from the suffocating grip of the Everetts.

The light ahead turned red, and Ian Prescott stopped the car.

Looking at Sienna Everett, who was so vibrant and radiant, he spoke without thinking, the words tumbling out before he could stop them. "Sienna... I want you to be my sister."

Ian Prescott himself was shocked after he said it. He had clearly intended to wait until after the DNA test results to bring any of this up.

But this feeling of closeness to Sienna Everett, this urge to protect and cherish her as if she were his own flesh-and-blood sister—it was something he couldn’t control.

Sienna Everett froze. Her clear, bright eyes filled with astonishment, tinged with a hint of suspicion.

’He wants me to be his sister?’

’She had a good impression of Ian Prescott, and even felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with him, but being asked to be his sister...’

Then, a thought suddenly struck Sienna Everett. "I get it! You said before that your biological sister went missing when she was a child and you still haven’t found her. So... you want me to be your sister?"

Ian Prescott’s lips curved into a smile, and he looked nonchalant, but his long, slender fingers tightened their grip on the steering wheel.

He adopted a joking tone. "I don’t know what it is, but I just keep getting the feeling that you’re my long-lost sister."

At his words, Sienna Everett’s eyes flew wide open.

The astonishment that had just faded came rushing back, filling her with disbelief.

’So... Ian Prescott feels this way too?’

Sienna Everett blinked and swallowed hard. "But... I really am one of the Everetts."

When she first connected with the Everett Family, she hadn’t just taken their word for it. She’d specifically gotten a DNA test done—three of them, in fact, just to be absolutely sure.

Each one confirmed a paternal link between her and Morgan Everett.

Hearing this, a faint chill crept into Ian Prescott’s eyes. He knew it too—with three separate DNA tests, the chance of an error was practically zero.

The fact that Sienna Everett and Morgan Everett were father and daughter was essentially set in stone.

But still, Ian Prescott couldn’t quite accept it.

’I have to find a way to get a DNA test done for Sienna and the Prescott Family as soon as possible...’

「Meanwhile, at the airport.」

Isabelle Sutton looked at the sharp-featured man in front of her, her lips curving into a smile that made her dimples faintly appear. "Liam, you really didn’t have to come all the way to the airport to get me. I’m going to see your race tomorrow anyway."

Liam Lynn was wearing a black jacket. Tall and long-legged, he had a somewhat fierce look on his face when he wasn’t smiling.

When he faced Isabelle Sutton, however, his expression softened considerably, his eyes conveying a gentle affection. "Isabelle, you came all the way overseas just to see my race. Of course I had to come pick you up. I’ve even arranged a hotel for you."

Isabelle Sutton quickly waved her hands. "Oh, no need! My friend happens to be in Meridia, so I’m staying with her."

Liam Lynn frowned and asked tentatively, "Your friend... is it Sienna Everett?"

Isabelle Sutton’s eyes lit up and she nodded eagerly, like a chicken pecking at grain. "Yes, yes, that’s her! My friend is amazing. She’s super famous and has tons of fans! She’s actually in Meridia to shoot a commercial and is planning to watch the race tomorrow, too!"

Isabelle Sutton had been on a variety show with Sienna Everett in the past, and they had even sat together at a charity gala, so many reporters and fans knew they were close.

Isabelle Sutton was all smiles. "Plus, she’s coming to pick me up at the airport. She’ll be here any minute! Are you a fan of hers? If you are, you’ll get to meet her in person! I can even put in a good word and get her to take a photo with you!"

Hearing this, Liam Lynn’s expression suddenly turned a little unnatural. He cleared his throat. "Well, since you’ll be with your friend, I can rest easy. I’m not a fan of Sienna Everett’s. I actually have some important team matters to attend to, so I should get going."

"Huh? You’re leaving already?"

"Yeah, the race is tomorrow, and there are still some things I need to sort out with the team."

"Oh, well, if you’re busy, you should get going!" Isabelle Sutton didn’t press him to stay, just waving goodbye.

"I’ll message you tonight, then." Liam Lynn had wanted to spend more time with Isabelle Sutton, but it seemed that wasn’t going to happen now.

After exchanging a few more words with Isabelle Sutton, he had no choice but to leave.

When Sienna Everett arrived at the airport and got out of the car, she found Isabelle Sutton staring wistfully in a certain direction.

Sienna Everett walked over and tapped her on the shoulder. "What are you looking at?"

When Isabelle Sutton saw it was her, she immediately pointed. "Sienna, look! Over there! The one in the black jacket, that’s Liam Lynn!"

Sienna Everett followed her gaze. A moment later, her eyes narrowed.
