Chapter 1332 - 1272: Mistaken Love

"I was wrong, I was very wrong. Please don’t be angry anymore, and don’t cry anymore, I’m begging you."

Sienna Johnson was a woman who didn’t cry often, but when she did, it was startling.

Adrian Desmond’s sleeves were soaked with her tears.

To someone unaware, it might seem as if he had beaten this woman.

"Adrian, I want to go back to Sileria City, I want to go back right now!" Sienna Johnson reiterated.

"Just wait for a little longer!"

"I don’t want to wait anymore," Sienna Johnson said stubbornly.

"Just give me three days!"

Sienna Johnson was just about to refuse when she saw the troubled expression on Adrian’s face, and she held back her willful words.

Women can be willful and act coquettish, but they must learn when to stop; otherwise, sooner or later, they’ll wear down the man’s feelings completely.

"Just three days, and you aren’t willing?" Adrian saw her not speaking, biting her lip and still being awkward with him.

"During these three days, can you focus more, concentrate on dealing with Night Owl, resolve it once and for all, and stop getting tangled up with these lousy romances, okay?"

Regarding the Night Owl situation, Adrian initially didn’t plan on telling Sienna Johnson, but seeing this woman misunderstood his trip to Kalare as merely being about relationships and not business, he had no choice but to explain how he had been dealing with Night Owl recently.

"...I’ve been keeping an eye on Night Owl the whole time; he’s eyeing you, so how could I dare to relax my vigilance?" Adrian explained to her.

For a moment, Sienna Johnson felt a bit guilty, lacking confidence as she said, "Then why didn’t you tell me? I thought..."

"I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to worry. Besides, this is a matter between men, women shouldn’t interfere!"

Sienna Johnson knew Adrian’s masculine pride was acting up again, so she deliberately said, "Since women shouldn’t interfere, I’ll go back to Sileria City."

"No! If you’re not under my watch, I won’t feel at ease..."

The anger in Sienna’s heart dissipated, and she smiled at him, making Adrian feel as if clouds had cleared, and his mood brightened too.

He cupped her face, gently caressing her smooth cheek with his thumb, speaking with a tone of helplessness, "I’m trapped by you, whenever you get angry, I get scared, what have I ever been afraid of before?"

What is fear?

Fear is liking, it is prioritizing the other person, it is holding the other person dear in one’s heart.

If you truly don’t like someone, don’t care, how could you be "afraid"?

"You can get angry, but don’t cry so easily, okay? You have no idea how scared I am of your crying," Adrian asked puzzled, "You rarely cried before, why do you cry so much now?"

"Because when I cry, you feel distressed..."

A young child falls and always cries loudly because she knows that when she cries, her parents will comfort her;

But after growing up, she stops crying as much. It’s not that she doesn’t like to cry, it’s that she knows crying won’t have anyone to comfort her.

"You’re bad, you always bully me."

"Then give me a kiss to make it up," Sienna Johnson said as she stood on her tiptoes, just about to kiss him when the door was pounded.

"Adrian, get out here!" Joanna’s furious voice yelled.

Sienna Johnson frowned, let go of Adrian, and said, "You handle the trouble you caused yourself."

"Okay," Adrian’s face, which had just brightened, darkened again.

Adrian turned around to walk towards the door, opened it as Joanna was about to slam her fist against it.

With a stormy face, Adrian ignored Joanna and glanced at Noah, who held a child behind her.

"Noah, control your woman!"

Noah awkwardly chuckled twice.

With a face full of anger, Joanna looked at Adrian and questioned, "Why are you treating me like this?"

"What did I do to you?"

"You don’t want to sleep with me, so why do you team up with Noah to toy with me?"

Adrian said coldly and mercilessly, "If you were a virgin, I might feel a bit guilty. You’ve slept with so many men, what’s another one with Noah?"

Tears welled up in Joanna’s deep eyes, "Adrian, how can you treat me like this?"

"What did I do to you?"

"..."

Adrian looked down at Joanna, who was crying so much her makeup was ruined, a pitiful sight, yet Adrian stabbed her in the heart again,

"...I don’t know where you get the nerve to question me? I was staying in my room, and you’re not sleeping in the middle of the night running to my room, what for?"

"..."

"Behave properly, or who can you blame?"

Joanna was hurt by Adrian’s attitude, looking at the man in front of her cold as an ice block, and couldn’t say a word.

Yes, she was cheap, she foolishly liked this man.

"Noah, take your woman and get out!" Adrian slammed the door shut.

Outside the door were Joanna’s sobs, the child’s cries, and Adrian was utterly annoyed.

Sienna Johnson saw Adrian’s situation and showed no intention of comforting him.

"Come on, I’ll take you out for a walk," Adrian said, wanting to take Sienna Johnson away to avoid hearing the sobs outside.

"Okay." Sienna Johnson also didn’t want to hear the woman’s crying.

Adrian held Sienna Johnson’s hand as they left, seeing Joanna still crying and Noah cautiously comforting her while holding the child.

Adrian led Sienna Johnson straight upstairs.

Back in the room, Sienna Johnson went to change clothes. Initially, Adrian allowed her not to wear the black robe, but Sienna Johnson voluntarily put it on.

"Didn’t you dislike it?"

Sienna Johnson wore a black veil too, covering half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

She jokingly said, "I’m afraid that if I go out looking too beautiful, I’ll attract a bunch of lousy romances."

"..."

"The feeling of jealousy is awful, how could I let you be jealous?"

This was her deliberately mocking him, and Adrian asked, "Mrs. Desmond, since when did you become so conceited?"

"Sixth Master, don’t you think I’m beautiful?" Sienna Johnson threw Adrian a flirtatious glance, making his soul captivated.

"Beautiful!"

Then Adrian pounced like a hungry wolf, and Sienna Johnson dodged quickly.

"Weren’t you saying you’d take me out for a walk? I’ve been cooped up in the hotel room for days, let’s go."

"Okay." Adrian’s eyes kept fixed on Sienna Johnson’s exposed eyes, but he held back.

...

When Sienna Johnson and Adrian left the hotel, Joanna happened to come out.

Sienna Johnson glanced at Joanna, seeing hatred in her eyes, and moved her gaze away.

Adrian noticed, saying, "Ignore her!"

Adrian glared at Noah, who was holding the child, roughly. If Noah couldn’t handle Joanna, Adrian would have to intervene himself.

Noah, who had kept a cautious smile all along, now had his face darkened too.

Joanna looked at Noah walking behind her and shouted, "Get away from me, don’t let me see you!"
