Chapter 994 - 954: Sixth Master’s Friends
As soon as he thought of the past, Adrian Desmond became furious. Back then, he had offered his heart to Sienna Johnson, only for her to toss it to the ground and stomp on it.
"What made you think I was inferior to Noah Phillips back then?"
In terms of looks, he was definitely not inferior to Noah. In terms of wealth, his assets could easily surpass the Phillips Family.
"Well, Noah Phillips was single, and you were a married man!"
"Alright, I guess that’s my only flaw."
Sienna glanced at him, exasperated. Could this man’s skin be any thicker? He had far more flaws than just that.
Sheehan kept nudging against Sienna’s chest. Adrian noticed that Sienna’s clothes were damp from Sheehan’s drool and picked the little guy up from her arms.
He gently patted the little guy’s bottom and said, "Didn’t you just eat? Are you hungry again?"
Sheehan nudged against Adrian’s chest, but finding nothing there, he pouted and started to cry.
"Son, don’t cry."
Sienna took him back over, preventing him from crying out. Sheehan nudged against her chest again, clearly hungry.
Sheehan had a big appetite, and Sienna couldn’t satisfy him by herself. Not wanting to feed him formula, Adrian found a young, beautiful woman who was breastfeeding to act as Sheehan’s "wet nurse," though she did nothing beyond nursing.
"Auntie Poppy, take Sheehan to get fed. He’s hungry again."
"Yes, Madam."
Auntie Poppy was Sheehan’s nanny, mainly responsible for his daily care. Since Adrian had been personally taking care of Sheehan, Auntie Poppy’s work had become quite relaxed.
Auntie Poppy took the chubby Sheehan and carried him off to be fed.
Sienna followed Adrian to meet his friends. She had little fondness for Abyanabad men and only planned to greet them briefly before leaving.
"Adrian!"
Dan Taylor and several others were gathered together, all well-dressed and dignified. Their gazes lingered on Sienna, displaying amazement.
"How come you guys are here?"
Besides Dan Taylor, Ward Penney, Mark, and Trevor Harrington had also come.
"My wife is missing a Chinese woman, so I’m planning to marry one and bring her back," Dan Taylor said boldly.
Having a wife and still hitting on other women is called cheating in Orienta. Orienta men try to cover it up, unlike them who shamelessly admit it.
"Did we come all this way just to see your son? Wait, where’s your son?" Mark asked.
"He was hungry, so I took him back to feed him."
Dan Taylor said, "Let me go have a look."
"Sister-in-law is getting more beautiful," Ward Penney remarked.
"Thank you." Sienna was polite yet distant, clearly not interested in getting close to these people.
Just then, an acquaintance greeted Sienna, and she left Adrian to entertain them alone while she departed.
Adrian stayed with his friends, worried that Sienna might meet Noah Phillips alone, so he asked Sally to follow Sienna.
"It seems sister-in-law doesn’t like us," Ward Penney mentioned.
"She doesn’t like men with multiple wives."
"Do you really plan to marry only one woman for the rest of your life?"
"Of course."
"What a pity!"
"Pity? Me? Are you joking?" Adrian felt not pity, but happiness.
Trevor Harrington commented, "Ward, stop feeling sorry for Adrian. How is he pitiful? He has a smart and beautiful wife, both a daughter and a son, and his business is booming. He’s a winner in life no matter how you look at it."
Adrian looked at Ward Penney and laughed, "I don’t even know what he’s feeling sorry for."
"Adrian, you haven’t returned to Abyanabad for a long time. Are you planning to settle here?" Trevor Harrington asked.
"Sienna is here. I’ll spend most of my time in Sileria City."
Adrian glanced at his friends and said, "Once you have a wife and kids, you realize that home is wherever they are."
Ward Penney remarked, "Adrian, you seem like a tiger whose teeth have been pulled, turning into a house cat."
"Do you believe I can still bite you to death right now!"
Ward Penney clinked glasses with Adrian and got down to business, "Since you’ll be spending most of your time here, are you still going to continue with the arms trade?"
Adrian looked at Ward Penney. They both had interests in the arms trade, creating a competitive relationship.
"What do you want to do?"
"If you’re not continuing, I’d like to take over."
Adrian raised his glass, took a sip, and searched the crowd for Sienna. There were too many people, and he looked around but didn’t see the one he most wanted to meet.
"Adrian, what do you mean?"
Adrian withdrew his disappointed gaze and said, "The arms trade is too lucrative; I can’t possibly give it up."
The base supported so many people; if he gave up the arms trade, would he have to buy weapons from others when needed?
"Your appetite isn’t small, is it, wanting to swallow my arms business?" Adrian remarked to Ward Penney.
"I have my ambitions!"
A glimpse caught a graceful figure; she was carefully guarding Curly and leading her to the self-service dining area. They picked some fruits and snacks and sat down to eat.
She swung her pretty long legs, catching Ward Penney’s attention.
"Who’s that beautiful woman next to your daughter?" Ward Penney asked.
Adrian followed Ward Penney’s gaze and saw it was Curly and Samara.
"My sister-in-law!"
"Oh?" Ward Penney scrutinized her a few times. No wonder she looked familiar; she resembled Sienna Johnson.
"She doesn’t look very old. She’s not underage, is she?"
"She’s 15."
"Such a blossoming age."
Adrian knew full well what Ward Penney was thinking and warned, "Ward, I won’t mind other women, but you can’t touch the Johnson family!"
Ward Penney laughed and said, "All men like beautiful women."
Adrian recalled Sienna’s earlier words, "Too bad you’re a married man! In Orienta, married men don’t have the right to pursue other women."
"I’ve only married two wives."
"Even one wife is too much!"
Trevor Harrington interjected, "Ward, this is Orienta, not Abyanabad. Since we’re here, let’s respect the customs."
"She really is beautiful..."
Ward Penney saw Aaron Faber walking toward Samara, offering her a mechanical bunny. She wanted it but modestly refused.
"Does Aaron Faber like your sister-in-law?"
"Yes."
"Are you planning to marry your sister-in-law to Aaron Faber?"
"That’s not up to me to decide!"
"..."
Adrian watched as Ward Penney kept staring at Samara and warned solemnly again, "Sienna treasures her sister very much. If you dare to hurt her and make my woman sad, don’t blame me for being unbrotherly."
