Chapter 1157 - 1097: Briggs Family Visit (1)

He gazed greedily for a moment, finally unable to resist barging in.

Even after being together for so long, Sienna Johnson was still unable to adapt to his sudden intrusion, finding it painful—just like now.

"Adrian, I can’t, I feel uncomfortable."

Adrian Desmond looked at her pained expression and treated her gently, until her eyes turned misty, like a beautiful lake shrouded in fog, exuding allure from every glance and gesture, only then did he begin to gallop forward.

"Did you miss me? Hmm?"

"I missed you, very much."

The winter days were long and exceedingly cold; without Adrian’s embrace warming her like a furnace, she didn’t sleep well. When she did finally fall asleep, she would wake up startled from dreams.

She had become deeply dependent on this man, unable to extricate herself.

"I want you to think about me all the time," he said domineeringly.

"I’m always thinking about you..." she replied.

"Good girl!" He took her earlobe.

"Adrian..."

"Hmm?"

Gradually, she only wanted to softly call out his name, but the sound that finally escaped was interrupted, fragmented, by his relentless assault.

He saw her long black hair, braided and hanging down her back, now messy and disheveled, casting a beautiful curve on her back as it swung listlessly with his movements.

Such a sight made Adrian feel joy and fulfillment—a pleasure that coursed through every pore of his body.

He tightened his grip on her waist, used more force, then flipped her over again.

...

Outside the door, Ivy Evans listened to the noise inside—it had been going on for over two hours. She knew the men in Abyanabad were vigorous in that regard, but she hadn’t expected this man to be so formidable.

A blush spread across her face.

Seeing the two Briggs family servants approaching, Ivy quickly turned around and hurried away.

The two servants didn’t notice Ivy; they gathered together, chatting idly.

"The daughter from the grand-aunt’s family is truly beautiful. I heard she’s given birth to two children already; it’s quite unbelievable."

"Well, take a look at the grand-aunt’s appearance. I’ve heard the uncle-in-law is also a handsome man."

"Have you seen him?"

"I came late, only heard from others. It’s a pity, he was killed by the Johnson Family’s adopted daughter."

"What happened? Tell me quickly." The new young servant’s curiosity surged, pestering the seasoned servant for details.

"It’s a long story..."

"Tell me."

"Will you treat me to dinner?"

The girl pushed her, laughing, "Still eating? Be careful your boyfriend doesn’t mind you."

"My boyfriend likes me a bit chubby."

"Liar."

"You little yellow-haired girl, you don’t understand. Once you have a man, you’ll know why men like women a bit plump."

"Hmph, not bothering with you." The girl spat on the ground and ran off.

...

Sienna Johnson slept the entire afternoon. When it was time for dinner, she freshened up simply, intending to go have dinner.

Having been nourished by her man, Sienna’s eyes and brows carried a charm that made Adrian feel fiery but forced himself to restrain. If he kept pestering and teasing her, Sienna would get annoyed.

"How long are we staying at Briggs Family’s house?" Adrian asked.

After all, this was the Briggs Family’s home; it wasn’t as comfortable as being at the Johnson Family’s. At the Johnson Family’s, they lived alone without interruptions. The Briggs Family had many members, and the atmosphere was noisy, which Adrian disliked.

"Three days, I suppose."

"Why so long?"

"You call that long? Mom wanted to stay for a month."

Sienna looked at herself in the mirror, finding no issues, and was ready to go downstairs.

Adrian was clingy, embraced her and nibbled a couple of times before letting her go, receiving a few more glares from Sienna.

"I endure those people for your sake, you better give me some sweet reward."

Sienna poked his chest, saying, "You haven’t had enough sweetness? This afternoon, I let you have your way."

"..."

Sienna muttered, "I’m pregnant, and you don’t consider my condition."

"Haven’t you passed three months already? In a few months, I’ll have to endure several months again... Besides, how am I not considerate? If I weren’t, do you think you could still get out of bed now?"

Sienna blushed, gave him a look, stopping him from speaking further, "Alright, alright, let’s hurry; these are the elders. If we keep them waiting, won’t it be bad?"

Adrian wrapped his arm around Sienna’s waist, going downstairs, "Aren’t you an elder too? When I came here, there’s a man old enough to be my dad, yet he calls me cousin..."

"Pfft..."

"You still laugh..."

"Sixth Master, stay calm."

"Can’t stay calm."

"You’re already a master, being called cousin isn’t that much, is it?"

Adrian: ...

...

Dinner was sumptuous and lively, with over twenty people present. Luckily, Sienna Johnson had a good memory, otherwise it would be difficult to remember so many people.

Adrian felt overwhelmed by the crowd—so many people, aunts and uncles, he truly couldn’t remember them all.

Fortunately, Adrian maintained his cool demeanor with few words, appearing distant, so no one approached to chat with him.

"Eat more fish."

"Stop serving me; I can’t eat any more." Sienna noticed everyone covering their mouths, watching her and Adrian with smiles, growing embarrassed.

"You’re pregnant, eat more."

Grandma Briggs teased, "Look at my grandson-in-law’s concern, worried about his wife going hungry."

"Grandma, it’s not like that."

"You don’t need to explain, I understand it all."

"Haha..." Everyone laughed, making Sienna’s face even redder.

Pauline Briggs was usually critical of Adrian but was pleased with his behavior today.

Her daughter had endured so much; she had to find a good man to make up for it.

"Adrian, that chicken is a pheasant, very nutritious, give Sienna some," Pauline Briggs suggested.

"Hmm." Adrian used the serving chopsticks to pick some chicken pieces for Sienna, the chicken was stewed tender, Adrian blew on it before feeding it to Sienna.

"Is it good?"

Sienna chewed a few times, swallowed, and nodded.

Seeing the chicken stewed nice and tender, suitable for the elderly to eat, Sienna, sitting beside Grandma Briggs, also gave her a piece.

"Grandma, try it, it’s very tender."

"You’re thoughtful."

"I work so much, keep busy with errands, barely get to see grandpa and grandma a few times a year; I wish to show filial love but lack the conditions.

Grandpa and Grandma must take care of their health."

Grandma Briggs looked at Sienna, nodding with satisfaction, she was articulate, kind, and beautiful; her daughter bore Sienna, she no longer worried for Pauline Briggs.

"Your two uncles never caused me worry since they were young. I only fret about your mom; because of her, your grandpa and I have toughed it out all these years. With you around, I’m reassured."
