"No need, I have employee housing subsidies, so my rent doesn't cost much."
Jasper Brown didn't tease her anymore.
Hearing him say that, Sienna Summers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your company's benefits are really good."
At that moment, Jasper Brown's mobile phone rang.
It was his assistant calling.
He was reminded that he had to attend an important social gathering.
Jasper Brown ended the call and pulled a card from his wallet.
"Here's the wedding gift money, five hundred thousand. I have some business to attend to at the company, so I'm heading out."
Sienna Summers took the card, feeling it almost burn in her hand.
He had provided the wedding gift money, and she was supposed to have a dowry.
But now she had nothing.
She'd have to wait until she saved up some money before making any plans.
"Take down my number and call me if you need anything."
Jasper Brown gave her his phone number.
Sienna Summers quickly saved it in her phone and dialed it back.
"That's my mobile number."
Jasper Brown glanced at it, hummed indifferently, pocketed his phone, and walked away with decisive steps.
When the door closed, Sienna Summers looked around the unfamiliar environment, her lips pressed lightly together.
Was this where her new life was going to start?
Her feelings were very complicated.
She suppressed her emotions and turned into the master bedroom.
The master bedroom was a suite, decorated in black, white, and gray, as cold and proud as its owner.
She hesitated for a moment, not moving her luggage in but instead pushing it into an adjacent guest bedroom.
"Mummy, it's kind of small here."
"Mummy, how are we going to live here!"
After inspecting the rooms, the three little ones ran over to Sienna Summers.
They had all lived in a big villa before.
Sienna spoke softly, "It'll be the same as before. Dora has her own room, and Eleanor and Mia share one."
"Oh, then is Mummy going to share a room with Uncle Caleb Fox?"
Sienna felt uneasy under her daughter's bright eyes.
She changed the subject, "Wait until Mummy makes some money, and I'll buy you a bigger house."
"Making money is a man's job."
Zach Summers's little face was stern.
He was starting to regret letting Mummy marry Uncle Fox.
Because it seemed like Uncle Fox didn't have much money and couldn't provide for Mummy!
It looked like he would have to make money to take care of Mummy in the future!
"Equality for men and women, hey, no chauvinism."
Sienna rubbed the little guy's head, smiling.
"Mummy, Mia's tummy is hungry."
"Mummy, Eleanor is hungry too."
The two girls clutched their stomachs and cried hunger.
Sienna's smile faltered for a moment, then she said, "Mummy will go check the fridge for ingredients and cook something delicious for you."
Both girls immediately looked at Zach, vigorously shaking their heads.
Zach's expressionless little face showed a crack.
"Mummy, let's just order takeout!"
Mummy's cooking skills... left much to be desired!
They didn't want to eat 'dark cuisine'!
"Takeout is so expensive? Mummy needs to save money for your education."
Three little ones: "..."
They didn't want to go to school!
They wanted to order takeout!
...
In a private dining room called Elegant Kitchen.
Jasper Brown was schmoozing with a few clients.
His phone on the table rang.
He picked it up casually, "Who is this?"
"Wuwu, Uncle Caleb Fox, it's Mia."
A sobbing milk-like voice came through the phone line.
Jasper's brow involuntarily furrowed as he stood up and headed outside the private room.
"Mia, why are you crying? Tell Uncle, who bullied you?"
"Wuwu, it's Mummy, she..."
Sienna Summers?
Jasper was somewhat surprised, "Did your Mummy hit you?"
"Wuwu, Mia is scared to say."
Scared to say?
Sienna seemed gentle and kind; could she be abusing the children behind closed doors?
Jasper's expression darkened slightly, "Don't be afraid, Mia, tell Uncle what happened exactly? I've got your back."
"Whimper, Uncle Caleb, we're going to be poisoned to death by Mommy! Ugh!"
What!
Jasper Brown's expression turned stern, "Your mommy is poisoning you?"
"Whimper, Mommy won't order takeout, and the dark cuisine she makes for us is like poison!"
Jasper Brown: "..."
Riverside Garden.
Kitchen.
Sienna Summers was still unaware that her little bundles of joy had ratted her out.
She looked at the mess on the glass countertop, feeling somewhat headache.
She was pampered by her parents since she was a child and had never cooked before.
A true lady of leisure whose fingers had never touched spring water.
But since her parents' incident, she had tried cooking a few times.
However, she was probably a total novice at life skills.
She really didn't have any talent for cooking.
Despite following the recipe videos to a tee, the dishes she made were simply unbearable to look at.
Sienna Summers sighed and picked up a plate of dark sweet and sour pork ribs, dumping them into the trash.
She had wanted to make a balanced dish of sweet and sour ribs, but why did they end up so sweet they could kill with sugar?
And the tomato scrambled eggs, why were they so salty they turned bitter?
Even the simplest stir-fried greens, why was there still unwashed dirt in the leaves?
She was a true kitchen disaster!
Sienna Summers furrowed her delicate brows, swallowed the acidic taste in her mouth, and hurriedly dumped all the dishes into the trash.
The children were still hungry, it seemed she would have to order takeout for now.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Sienna Summers was tidying up the kitchen and called out.
"Dora, see who it is?"
In the living room, the three little bundles sat in a row on the sofa.
On hearing the doorbell, the two little sisters were excited.
"Brother, it must be Uncle Caleb sending us something delicious!"
"Yes, brother, go open the door quickly!"
Zach Summers hummed in agreement, first moving a chair to the door, then standing on it to look outside through the peephole.
The person outside was Jasper Brown's assistant, Timothy Zimmerman, currently holding two large bags of things.
They had met at Brown Corporation that morning, so Zach Summers recognized him.
He climbed down from the chair and opened the door.
"Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, Uncle Caleb."
Seeing the three little tykes again, Timothy Zimmerman, as Jasper Brown's special assistant, had mixed feelings.
He had not expected his boss to have a flash marriage with a complete stranger.
And the flash-married wife turned out to be a single mother with three kids!
Fortunately, these three kids were really too cute.
So cute that he wanted to bag one and take it home to raise.
So the kids really added a lot to the appeal of the Madam President.
"You are Dora, and you two must be Eleanor and Mia, right?"
Timothy Zimmerman greeted the three children.
"Yes, Uncle Caleb, we are the 1, 2, 3 in the music."
Mia raised her little finger and pointed from her brother to herself in order.
Oh boy, so there was a meaning behind the kids' names as well!
It seems that the person who named them put some thought into it.
Timothy Zimmerman softly said, "I'm Timothy Zimmerman, a friend of your Uncle Fox. He is currently entertaining with our boss and has no time to come back, so he asked me to bring you some food."
Their boss had Elegant Kitchen prepare a few dishes and asked him to buy some more snacks that the kids loved, adding that he should not reveal his identity and refer to himself as a friend.
He didn't know what game his boss was playing, but he was just following orders.
"Wow, so many yummy things!"
The two sisters' eyes glinted at the sight of the food.
"Please come in."
Zach Summers, carrying the demeanor of a big brother, invited Timothy Zimmerman into the house with a serious little face.
"Dora, who is it?"
Inside the kitchen, Sienna Summers peeked out.
"Mommy, Uncle Fox's friend brought us some food," Zach Summers said.
Upon hearing this, Sienna Summers quickly dried her hands and walked out of the kitchen.
"Hello, I am Sienna Summers."
At first glance, Timothy Zimmerman thought Sienna Summers was very pretty.
Could his boss have married on a whim because of her looks?
He quickly greeted her, "Hello, I'm Timothy Zimmerman. Director Brown is busy, so he asked me to bring you some food."
At the mention of Director Brown, a flicker of confusion passed through Sienna Summers' eyes.
"Director Brown?"
Was he referring to the man in charge of Brown Corporation?
Were these things sent by that Director Brown?
