Sienna Thornton laughed slightly, as if these things, difficult for others to voice, had become numb and unaffecting to her: "As you can see, I'm the baggage my mom brought with her when she married Felix Raines, so whenever Felix sees me, he thinks of my mom having been with other men before, and then he becomes twisted, unable to restrain himself from wanting to hit and scold my mom and me."

Unfortunately, people like this were encountered by Sienna and her mother.
