Entangled in the Night: Unable to Escape Him-Chapter 169: When Love Runs Deep, Sleep Comes Naturally

Chapter 169: Chapter 169: When Love Runs Deep, Sleep Comes Naturally

Seeing the calculation in Silas’s eyes, Sienna couldn’t help laughing softly, "So you want to marry me, then lock me up in the prison of marriage, buy me all kinds of luxury goods, give me plenty of money, but just won’t give me personal space. Tell me, how is this any different from how you were five years ago?"

What I want is respect, independence, and freedom. I can love you, but while I love you, I need my own friends too. Silas, if you still can’t do that, then this is where our relationship ends."

Hearing her say that, Silas panicked and quickly shook his head, "No! I’ll do whatever you say, okay?"

He lay down in Sienna’s arms, frustrated, and nuzzled against her a couple of times.

The strong possessiveness in his heart also gradually faded at that moment.

He needed to learn self-control, otherwise, his Sienna would leave him again.

Seeing him like this, Sienna gently stroked his head, "Silas, since we’ve decided to start over, we need to make this relationship healthy and beautiful from the very beginning. We have to trust each other and rely on each other. Only then can our love withstand the storms. Not like before, when all you did was control me and push me around, and I just feared you and obeyed you. A relationship like that won’t last."

Silas didn’t refute, just nodded obediently.

His deep eyes were full of emotion, "Sienna, I promise you. I trust you. I won’t pressure you anymore. Let’s start over and have a wonderful love."

"Okay, then can I go pick up Caden tomorrow?"

"Yeah."

"You can’t come with me, and you can’t have anyone follow me. Can you do that?"

"I can."

Silas was like an obedient grade-schooler: whatever Sienna said, he promised.

At last, he looked at her with burning eyes: "Sienna, I’m being so well-behaved, shouldn’t you give me a little reward?"

"You’re even more childish than Julian. I’ll buy you cake later."

Silas pulled hard with both hands and scooped Sienna up into his arms.

He leaned in close to her ear, voice low and husky: "Compared to cake, I prefer eating your cream buns."

As he spoke, his hot, damp lips trailed all the way down Sienna’s smooth collarbone.

Only now did Sienna realize what he actually meant by that.

She wanted to stop him, but Silas had already undone two of her shirt buttons, and his warm, moist touch was spreading across her skin.

Sienna’s breathing grew faster, "Silas, let me go, this is a hospital."

Silas lifted his head, those dark eyes unable to hide his passion.

His voice was hoarse: "Sienna, can we go home, please?"

Sienna’s face was flushed from his teasing, her voice dropped, sultry.

"No. Don’t forget you’ve already used up your quota for the week."

Silas kissed Sienna’s lips, "Babe, a good relationship is about naturally sleeping together when the feelings are right. Setting a quota is a huge insult to me. I’ll give you your personal freedom, you give me my sexual freedom, we’ll trade—how about it?"

Sienna wanted to say ’no’, but Silas, like a snake, had her wrapped up tight.

That night, she went to bed late again.

When she woke up next, it was already past eleven in the morning.

She shot upright in bed.

She remembered Caden’s flight landed at eleven, and she was still at home.

She scrambled out of bed.

Just then, her phone rang.

Seeing it was Caden, she quickly picked up, "Caden, are you here? Wait for me, I’ll come get you right now."

Caden sounded surprised: "Weren’t you having Lucy Rhodes pick me up?"

Lucy snatched the phone, giggling, "Sienna, you were so tired last night, get some more sleep. I already picked up Caden, don’t worry."

Sienna was confused—how did Lucy know about Caden’s flight?

But she didn’t dwell on it, just said right away: "Lucy, take him to my mom’s. I’ll meet you both there."

"Alright! See you soon."

After hanging up, Lucy handed the phone to Caden, "Let’s go, Dr. Sinclair."

Caden smiled, "You’re not here because Sienna asked you. Your brother sent you, didn’t he?"

Lucy yawned, "Who cares who sent me, I’m still picking you up. Why are you so fussy? Because of you, I had to sacrifice my lazy weekend morning."

Caden let out a cold snort, "Knew it. You and your brother are always joined at the hip. Working together just to trick Sienna. When I’m around her, don’t even think about ganging up to bully her."

Hearing this, Lucy instantly shook off all sleepiness.

She pointed at Caden, warning him, "Let me tell you, Sienna’s my brother’s girl. They’re doing great right now. No third wheels allowed. Or I won’t be nice."

Caden laughed, "Finally showing your true colors. You really are your brother’s little minion. I’ll say this right now too: if he ever treats Sienna badly, I’ll take her away."

"Don’t worry, that day will never come."

Lucy hit the gas, shooting off, watching Caden in the rearview mirror.

This guy had been with Sienna for five years. They’d been through life-and-death on the battlefield, and together saw Sienna transform into Chloe Nash.

Is their relationship really that pure?

How can she make sure he doesn’t compete with her brother for Sienna?

Lucy spent the whole drive pondering this, and just before they arrived, a wickedly brilliant idea popped into her head.

She eyed Caden slyly, a scheming glint in her eyes.

Caden saw her expression and couldn’t help laughing, "Planning to seduce me for your brother’s sake?"

"How’d you know?" Lucy blurted out.

Caden tapped her on the head, "You might as well tattoo ’seduce’ on your forehead. Give it up already."

With that, he opened the car door and got out.

Sienna happened to come down from upstairs.

Caden dropped his luggage and walked towards her.

"Sienna, you alright?"

He was just about to open his arms for a big hug when Silas appeared out of nowhere behind them.

And jumped straight between him and Sienna.

The man graciously shook his hand, voice calm, "Dr. Sinclair, welcome back."

Caden gritted his teeth, "Well, you really picked your timing."

Silas smiled faintly, "I was worried Sienna couldn’t play the perfect host on her own, so I hurried over. Glad I wasn’t late."

As he spoke, he smoothly wrapped Sienna up in his arms, gazing at her with doting eyes.

"Sleep well last night? I saw you sleeping so soundly this morning I didn’t wake you, just asked Lucy to pick up our guest. Don’t be mad, okay?"

Just a few words, but he made it clear they’d slept together last night and explained sending Lucy Rhodes to pick someone up.

He staked his claim—and made it impossible for her to blame him.

This bastard has more schemes than a barrel of coal.

Sienna strongly suspected Silas had kept her up on purpose last night so she couldn’t pick up Caden.

She gritted her teeth and shook her head, "Not mad! I should thank you, really."

Silas lazily chuckled, then whispered in Sienna’s ear, "Sienna, how will you thank me? Another serving of your cream buns?"
