Chapter 869: Chapter 869: I Want to Hear a Lie (2)
Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian Desmond, who indeed showed no signs of any adverse reactions, and only then did she feel at ease.
These days, ever since she knew he was poisoned, Sienna had been on edge, waking up at night fearing that Adrian might die. Now, she could finally relax.
"Let’s go, I have something to tell you."
Sienna took the lead, walking ahead, with Adrian following after a moment’s hesitation as he watched her back.
It seemed his troubles were not over yet.
Adrian had yet another Black Gold Card today, and since she insisted, he gave her his original one.
Adrian followed Sienna into the study, where Sienna sat on the sofa and pushed a file folder towards Adrian.
"What’s this?" Adrian instinctively felt it wasn’t something good.
"The property deeds you transferred to me. I went to the court today and transferred all those properties back to you..."
"Sienna Johnson!" Adrian shouted her name in frustration.
"I brought a lawyer along, so there won’t be any issues with the paperwork!"
"Who’s worried about that!"
Adrian knew he must have angered this woman, and she wouldn’t let him off so easily!
"I’m a man, with lots of social engagements to attend. You’ve taken all my cards, and when I go out, the money’s not enough. How am I supposed to maintain my dignity?" Adrian explained.
"..."
"You have to trust me. If I’m spending money so freely, it’s because I have the ability to earn it back. Don’t worry that one day I’ll squander all the wealth."
"..."
"I have a wife and kids now. Even if not for myself, I have to consider you all, don’t I?"
Sienna looked at Adrian, having always thought they were alike, only to later realize they were completely different.
After Adrian’s parents died, he went through some tough times, but he’s a wealthy man, having been lavished with riches from a young age. Unlike her, who felt overjoyed just having candied hawthorns on her birthday.
So, Adrian couldn’t understand her "stinginess,"
And she couldn’t understand Adrian’s "generosity."
"Adrian, thinking it over, I realize it’s my fault. You mentioned that your spending habits are what they are, and it’s not something that can change overnight.
So, I’m returning the money to you.
This way, when you spend recklessly, I won’t have the misconception that you’re spending my money." Sienna spoke calmly.
"Once it’s yours, it’s yours!"
"The poison in your system is cured, and I don’t want to work for you anymore. I have my own business to handle."
"You’re going back to Sileria City again?"
Sienna chuckled softly, "Sileria City is my home, I was going to go back sooner or later. Adrian, don’t forget, you married into the Johnson Family."
"I haven’t forgotten!"
Didn’t he give one of his daughters to the Johnson Family!
Sienna sighed deeply as she looked at Adrian, "Next time, be careful. Don’t be so foolish as to get poisoned again."
"It won’t happen again."
"Adrian, I want to return to Sileria City."
Adrian remained silent, wearing an expression of hurt, as if Sienna was abandoning him.
"Don’t be like this, alright? I’m just going to Sileria City, not breaking up. Don’t you have a private jet? It’s only a four-hour flight." Sienna tried to comfort him, but Adrian’s expression remained unchanged.
"I’ll give you all my cards, just don’t leave, okay?"
"Adrian, I’m returning all the property you gave me, and not out of spite}
To be honest, I can’t handle your business.
Besides, our spending habits are different, so it’s better for us to maintain financial independence like before."
"..."
"I had originally planned to go back earlier.
You know, since I came to Abyanabad, things have been happening one after another, keeping me from leaving until now.
Now that you see the true nature of the Carpenter Family and the poison has been neutralized, I believe you’ll manage the remaining matters well.
I’m about to give birth and there should be elders to care for me during postpartum confinement.
Your mother is no longer around, so I have to return home to find my own mom."
Pauline Briggs has urged her several times to return for the delivery, insisting on personally taking care of her during postpartum this time as she didn’t recover well from the first birth.
"I’ll call you every day."
"..."
"I’ll video call you every day, alright?"
"..."
"Every night, before bed, I’ll call to say goodnight, and also..." She leaned in to whisper three words in his ear, only then did Adrian relent.
"Alright!"
"You’re truly difficult!"
"Will you come back to Abyanabad?"
Sienna smiled bitterly, "Do you want the truth or a lie?"
"A lie!"
Sienna: ...
"Tell me, will you come?"
"I won’t come back!"
Adrian got annoyed, "Didn’t I ask you to tell a lie?"
"The lie is: I won’t be coming back."
Adrian’s brain seemed to freeze for a moment, "And the truth?"
"The truth is: Although I don’t like Abyanabad and we seem to clash with each other, I sometimes come because my man is here."
Sienna kissed his lips, seeing his "foolish expression," even as he bit her.
"Alright then, I’ll reluctantly let you return. But you must call me every night before you sleep to say those three words, also don’t wear revealing clothes, don’t get too close to other men, your employees can only be women, no men!"
Sienna retorted indignantly, "And yet you have Brandon Potter around, and I haven’t said anything."
"Don’t be fooled by how feminine Brandon Potter looks, actually, she’s a man?"
Sienna’s eyes widened, "Don’t tell me Brandon Potter is a transvestite?"
"Mrs. Desmond, you’re overthinking it!"
