Chapter 828: Chapter 844: Stubborn as a Mule (Part 2)

"Has Sister-in-law ever thought about changing the way she talks to my brother?"

"Change the way?" Sienna Johnson didn’t understand.

"My brother responds better to gentleness than force. Sister-in-law is so smart, you surely know what to do."

"You mean you want me to show weakness to him?"

Paige Desmond cut a piece of cake and placed it in front of her, saying, "Do you really want to keep arguing like this? My brother has been very busy lately, coming home later and later. Aren’t you worried at all?"

"What good is worrying? He won’t talk to me about it anyway."

"Sister-in-law, with this cold war between you and my brother, his mood can’t be good. It will distract him when he’s working. Aren’t you afraid something might happen to him?"

"..."

"...Last time when my brother got shot, you were so worried. Why didn’t you let him know?"

"..."

"Recently, the Carpenter Family has been in contact with my brother. You must not have known, right?"

Sienna looked at Paige in shock, "Adrian has been in touch with the Carpenter Family again recently?"

"My brother and Mr. Carpenter have a very good relationship... When my brother was young, my dad was busy with business, and my brother spent more time with Mr. Carpenter than with my dad.

Mr. Carpenter is someone who can influence my brother.

Otherwise, back then, even though my brother loved you, he wouldn’t have insisted on marrying Melanie Carpenter."

"..."

"Sister-in-law, have some cake, it tastes pretty good."

Sienna wasn’t in the mood to eat cake at all. She’s been having terrible morning sickness lately, all thanks to Adrian. Ever since she knew he was poisoned, she’s been suffering from insomnia.

"I found out that Mr. Carpenter is a fake, but your brother refuses to believe me no matter what. He even accused me of being selfish, implying I couldn’t stand seeing his uncle alive...

I don’t know much about Adrian’s uncle, but if Elliot Carpenter is as good as Adrian says, why would he repeatedly put Adrian in danger?"

The words Adrian said really hurt Sienna deeply. Is she the kind of petty, selfish person who cannot tolerate him treating his uncle well?

"Paige, do you think that Elliot Carpenter is real?"

"I don’t know."

As they were talking, Adrian suddenly rushed in carrying a bowl of spicy hot noodles, heading straight for Sienna.

"Brother, how come you’re back so early today?" Paige asked upon seeing Adrian.

"I’m not busy today, so I came back early." Adrian glanced at his sister and said, "Your sister-in-law hasn’t been feeling well lately, make sure to keep her company when you have time."

"I know."

Sienna said, "You don’t have to listen to him, go ahead and do your work, I’m not that fragile."

Seeing her brother had returned, Paige took her son’s hand and said, "Brother, since you’re back, I’ll take Dylan and head home now."

"Okay."

"Dylan, say goodbye to Uncle and Aunt."

"Goodbye, Uncle, goodbye, Aunt."

"Alright, off you go."

When Paige was gone, Adrian put away his serious expression and, as if presenting a treasure, said, "I know you like this. I saw it for sale at an Orienta restaurant on my way home, so I packed it up for you. Give it a try."

"Are you feeling any better today?"

"I’ve been taking detox pills every day, I’ll be fine soon. Just take care of yourself, you don’t need to worry about me," he said, as if making a mountain out of a molehill.

"Still haven’t figured out who’s poisoning you?"

Adrian’s smile faded, and he replied softly, "No."

"Just how many enemies do you have?"

"A lot."

"Can’t you at least narrow down a few suspects?"

"Hurry and eat, they say it doesn’t taste good when it’s cold."

"Why do you always have to be like this? Is it wrong for me to be concerned about you? ... Would you be happy if I just ignored whether you live or die?" Sienna said angrily.

"Please trust me, okay?"

"..."

"This is Abyanabad, not Sileria City, things aren’t as simple as you think. Don’t be clever and meddle in my affairs. Just being well is already a great help to me."

"Adrian, you keep getting into trouble, how do you expect me to trust you?"

"I was careless! It won’t happen again!"

"..."

"I plan to bring Curly back, it’s not good for a child to be away from her parents."

"My mom and Kiki take good care of her."

"This is Curly’s real home!"

Sienna only took a couple of bites of her cake. Considering how much effort Paige put into baking in this heat, Sienna didn’t want to disappoint her, so she finished the whole piece. Afterward, feeling a bit nauseous, she drank a few sips of water to settle her stomach.

"You like cake? If you do, I’ll have Paige make one for you every day."

Sienna gave him a sharp look, "Paige is not our servant, can you stop treating her like one?"

"She’s got nothing else to do anyway."

"Adrian, don’t push it."

"Alright, alright, you like cakes? I’ll hire a pastry chef for you tomorrow, okay?"

Faced with Adrian, Sienna felt frustrated and at a loss for words.

Adrian was always like this, taking care of her meticulously, but never allowing her into his business or troubles.

You couldn’t say he’s bad, he takes care of you meticulously,

But you couldn’t say he’s truly good because he wouldn’t let you be part of his life.

"I plan to call Reggie Dewey and Russell Austin over for a reevaluation of your health. I’m worried otherwise."

"I told you, I’m fine... Sienna said sternly to Adrian, "Just consider it for my peace of mind, okay? I haven’t been feeling well these days, all thanks to the worry you cause."
