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–deprecating laugh as she said that.
Lately, it felt like all I had done was apologize-
To Samuel, to Winston…
But I really should.
I owed my children more than just one apology.
And those apologies came from the bottom of my heart.
“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.
“Just come 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.
Dominic and Sienna had both said similar things to me.
They both apologized. They both promised they would do better, be better to me from now on.
I’m not some clueless fool who can’t tell real from fake.
Of course I can feel it–that they truly meant every word they said,
At this moment, Dominic and Sienna were showing me nothing but a hundred percent sincerity.
I could feel their overwhelming emotions, their intense desire to reach me.
But-
My head’s a mess.
I didn’t even know how I was supposed to react. Should I just accept it? Or should I take some time to cool off?
For the longest time, I’d convinced myself I didn’t need any of this. I didn’t need a family.

And now… all of them had opened their arms to welcome me back into something I had already cut off long ago.
I felt overwhelmed. Lost.
On the other end, Sienna still hadn’t heard anything from him. The silence made her heart sink a little.
She lowered her eyes and tried to gather her thoughts, hoping to find the right words.
No matter what, I still want to reach him.
Jean watched her brother’s indifferent expression and silence. She sighed inwardly.
Ugh, stubborn as ever.
Then suddenly-
Sienna’s voice on the phone abruptly rose. “Samuel… What happened to him?”
Samuel?
Jean’s eyes flew open.
Samuel had been staying at the Ginger mansion to recover, and his condition had been stable for a while now.
What just happened?
“Winston, let’s pause this for now,” Sienna’s voice was laced 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 you later.”
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 glance 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 finally landing on Winston’s eyes.
