Chapter 848: Chapter 857: Abyanabad Men Can’t Accept Prenuptial Agreements
"I want to go home tomorrow!"
"I thought you were too rational to know what heartbreak was, but it turns out you are heartbroken."
"How could I not be heartbroken? I also invested feelings... Luckily, I can handle it.
Love is not everything in my life; there are many things I need to do." Vivian Abbey smiled gently, "I still need to gather my spirits and work hard. There’s car loans to pay, house loans... President Johnson, you see, this is how hard ordinary people live."
Sienna Johnson consoled, "Everyone has their own troubles. My life is not much easier than yours."
"I know. President Johnson, take care in Abyanabad."
Sienna Johnson said, "Then leave tomorrow."
"Hmm."
...
The Desmond Family’s study, after renovation, European style and classical style blend together making the study unique. The study was crafted into a style that merges Eastern and Western cultures.
The study is adorned with antiques, featuring European-style hourglasses, paintings, and a globe. During the day, the entire study is spacious and bright, exuding a nostalgic ambiance.
This study is a place Sienna Johnson particularly likes.
"Sixth Brother, seeing you still working so late, I made you some fish balls. They are your favorite, specially made for you."
Melanie Carpenter placed the fish balls she made by hand on the table and deliberately flicked her hair.
Adrian Desmond lazily stretched his body, propping his feet on the table, a small arc on his lips, his expression focused on Melanie Carpenter.
For the first time in so many years, Adrian Desmond watched Melanie Carpenter so earnestly.
The Melanie Carpenter in front of him completely did not match the woman in his memory, so unfamiliar like another person.
Perhaps to hide her haggardness, she wore heavy makeup, making her appear older.
"Sixth Brother, why are you staring at me?" She tucked her hair behind her ear, her heart pounding.
"Where did Uncle go? Why hasn’t he returned yet?" Adrian withdrew his gaze, unwilling to look at Melanie Carpenter’s face.
She had worn out his last bit of affection for her.
"I don’t know. Before he left, he only mentioned he was going to discuss some business, didn’t say when he would be back." Melanie looked at Adrian and asked, "Sixth Brother, do you have some business with my dad?"
"Are you still getting used to living here recently?" Adrian said casually, his voice not gentle, but certainly mild.
Melanie was overwhelmed, excitedly looking at Adrian, thinking to herself: The medicine must be working.
"Why are you not speaking?"
"I... I’m quite accustomed to living here! This is my home after all." Saying this, Melanie cautiously glanced at Adrian, and seeing his indifferent expression with no sign of anger, she grew bolder.
"Just..." she hesitated.
Melanie initially planned to wait for Adrian to continue asking, but as he sat there saying nothing, she had no choice but to continue alone.
"Sixth Brother, Sienna Johnson is so overbearing. She actually released lots of mice in my room. I’m terrified of mice... Now I can’t sleep alone...
Sixth Brother, could you talk to her for me, tell her not to bully me anymore. I really...hmm..."
The sound of a woman’s sobbing in the ear, like buzzing flies, Adrian truly wanted to chase her out.
"If what you said was really done by Sienna, I will address it with her!" Adrian spoke.
"Really?"
"Hmm."
Sienna asked him to "flirt" with Melanie Carpenter, but he really didn’t have this sort of experience.
Women are dangerous creatures; one of his friends died at the hands of a woman.
The woman held a blade in her mouth and at the man’s peak, when he was most unguarded, she slit his throat.
When a man and woman make love, it’s the man’s most vulnerable moment, and Adrian doesn’t allow himself such vulnerability, so he always keeps his distance from women.
Until he encountered Sienna Johnson!
Sienna would never know that even at the peak moment, he struggled to keep clear-headed, fearing she might kill him!
Fortunately, Sienna likes being clever but doesn’t like using force!
"Sixth Brother, I made fish balls for you, try them before they get cold and taste bad."
"Leave them here, I’ll eat later." Adrian glanced at the fish balls, his eyes flashed with icy coldness.
