Chapter 300 I’ve Waited for Her at Least Six Years

• Melanie pulled Sienna into the tea room and jabbed a finger at her. “Spill it. What the heck is going on? Why is he back? Did you two come to some kind of agreement?” Sienna nodded. “Exactly what you’re thinking.” Melanie clapped a hand over her mouth, stunned. “Oh my God, am I going to become in-laws with Dad?” Sienna: “…” So that’s Mom’s focus? “You don’t have anything else to ask?” Melanie huffed. “From the first time he brought you home and called you Enna right in front of us, I knew that man had bad intentions. What else is there to ask?” She paused. “But I am kind of curious.” Melanie glanced at her precious daughter’s belly. “You’re already like this, and he doesn’t mind?” Sienna shook her head. “He even prepared a gift for the baby. He said he wants both me and the child.” Melanie cupped Sienna’s cheeks in both hands and rubbed them. “What am I supposed to say to you!” Sienna actually felt a bit unsure. Last time, she waited six hours and didn’t even see him. Going home crushed like that hurt like hell. Callan wasn’t a man she could control. He came and went as he pleased. Right now, she couldn’t read him at all. “Mom, I want to give it a shot.” Melanie sighed softly. “If your heart’s moved, then be bold and try.” “Back when you realized Matthias didn’t love you, you felt like the sky was falling. Think about it now—there’s not even a ripple, right?” “So with Gloria and me here, you have nothing to fear.” “Remember, Babe, in the face of life and death, everything else is small stuff. Feelings, men—if it’s meant to be, it will be. If it’s not, don’t force it.” “As long as you like him now and you feel happy with him, Mom will back you to go for it.” Sienna was floored. Was this her sentimental mom who never worried about anything? “I thought you’d fight me on this.” Melanie really hadn’t agreed before. But thinking about becoming in-laws with Dad? Yeah, that’s… a rush. “My Babe’s happiness matters most.” “Besides, he’s accepting your child. What’s left for me to object to?” That’s a mother’s heart for you. In front of her daughter’s happiness, that little mental block didn’t count for much. It was hard to accept right now, sure, but she’d work on it. Sienna thought she’d have to sway her mom hard. Not expecting Mom to turn around and school her instead. She threw her arms around Melanie. “How do I deserve a mom this gorgeous, cute, smart, and generous? I’m so darn lucky.” While the mother and daughter were all cuddly, Gloria and Callan wrapped up their chat in the living room. Gloria and Melanie really were a true mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair—their acceptance levels matched. “As long as Enna’s willing, her mom and I have no objections.” Gloria’s expression went serious. “But one thing, Callan—you can’t let Enna get hurt again.” Callan said in a low voice, “During the festivities, Enna came to find me and waited six hours.” “What she doesn’t know is, I’ve waited for her at least six years.” “If I’ve got another sixty years ahead of me, I’ll give them all to her.” Hearing that, Sienna froze again. If anyone else said it, she wouldn’t buy it. Too flashy. Too cocky. Sounds unreliable. But the one saying it was Callan. And she… believed.
