The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1158 - 1098: A Woman’s Little Thoughts



"Grandma, don’t worry, I will take good care of Mom," Sienna Johnson assured her grandmother, knowing the latter’s concerns.

Sienna Johnson looked at Grandma Briggs, whose hair was all gray. Thinking about how she still worried so much at such an old age for the sake of the children, Sienna felt more sympathy for her.

"With your words, I’m relieved," Grandma Briggs said, holding Sienna Johnson’s hand and patting it gently.

Grandma Briggs was worried that Sienna Johnson might have unresolved issues with Pauline Briggs and would not take proper care of her.

When no one was paying attention, Ivy Evans stealthily placed a piece of chicken on Adrian Desmond’s plate. Sienna Johnson caught a glimpse of this, frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Sienna Johnson’s cousin, Lucy Briggs, said, "Sienna, Ivy came to see me today and said she hopes Adrian can take good care of her in Abyanabad. My uncle only has Ivy as a child, she is very precious. Since she is all alone in Abyanabad, we aren’t very reassured."

Sienna Johnson looked at Ivy Evans, who was sitting next to Adrian Desmond. Ivy, seeing Sienna looking at her, smiled shyly with clear eyes and blushed with shyness.

Sienna Johnson smiled and asked, "Ivy, you’re a sophomore this year, right?"

"Yes, Auntie," Ivy Evans replied crisply.

Sienna Johnson said, "Logically, you are not a freshman anymore, and being a sophomore, you should be very well adjusted to life in Abyanabad. Why do you keep asking Adrian to take care of you? Ivy, how do you want Adrian to take care of you?"

The last sentence was said with a deep meaning.

Ivy Evans’ face stiffened, and she smiled dryly, "Even though I’m a sophomore, Abyanabad is still very unfamiliar to me."

"Abyanabad is very beautiful, Ivy, don’t just study all the time, you can go out and explore," Sienna Johnson suggested.

Seizing the opportunity, Ivy Evans said, "Okay, then please, Auntie and Uncle, take me around to see the beautiful sights of Abyanabad."

Sienna Johnson gently shook her head, "My belly is getting bigger by the day, so it’s impossible for me to accompany you on walks. Adrian is the least patient when it comes to shopping; even when I ask him to accompany me, he doesn’t oblige.

If you want to explore, I will find a good guide for you by then, and they can take you around."

Ivy Evans fell silent, and Sienna Johnson glanced at this woman from their relative’s house, changing the topic.

"Second Aunt, recently in City B, there was a case of the celebrity Chester Spencer fighting for the custody of a child that isn’t biologically his. Will the court award the child to Chester Spencer?"

Second Aunt, Fraidy Young’s whole family is in the judicial system; inquiring such matters from her is always accurate.

"Although it’s an adopted child, they are legally considered father and son. As long as it can be proven that Chester Spencer is more suitable than the child’s mother to raise the child, the court will award the child to Chester Spencer."

Chester Spencer’s wife had an affair and gave birth to the child, who was raised until six years old. The child’s biological father wanted to take the child back and filed a lawsuit.

Chester Spencer only discovered then that the child was not his biological son. However, because he had a good relationship with the child and was reluctant to part with him, he filed a custody lawsuit against the child’s biological parents.

In this era, life is full of melodramas.

"How could there be such shameless women, having affairs and even giving birth to a bastard?"

"Chester Spencer must be quite upset; raising a child for six years only to find it’s not his own."

Everyone started discussing animatedly, and seeing this, Sienna Johnson did not interject, focusing instead on helping Grandma eat.

Ivy Evans tried to chat up Adrian Desmond, "Uncle, isn’t it true that men in Abyanabad can marry several wives? Do you only have Auntie as your wife?"

Adrian Desmond ignored her, his gaze warm and focused on Sienna Johnson’s profile.

"Uncle, why aren’t you paying attention to me?" Ivy Evans asked pitifully.

"..."

"Uncle, did I do something wrong? You tell me, I can change."

Amidst the noisy room, Ivy Evans’ voice was soft and low, not attracting everyone’s attention.

After dinner, Sienna Johnson accompanied Grandma to play several rounds of mahjong, while Adrian Desmond took Curly and their son back to the room first.

"Dad, I’m rich now; I received so many red envelopes," Curly displayed the bright red envelopes on the bed, bragging to Adrian Desmond.

"Shh... Brother is sleeping, lower your voice."

Curly placed his hands by his mouth and whispered, "Dad, I made a lot of money in New Year money, and when we go back, I’ll treat you and Mom to a feast."

"Not oden again, right?" Adrian teased.

"Haha, not oden, I’ll take you to McDonald’s."

"Your mom doesn’t want you eating junk food."

"How can it be junk food? It’s delicious. Little Monster, don’t you think so?" Curly asked Sheehan, who was yawning on Adrian Desmond’s shoulder, his eyelids drooping.

Knock knock...

The door was knocked on, and Adrian Desmond, thinking Sienna Johnson had returned, went to open the door with their son in his arms, only to see Ivy Evans at the door. His face immediately turned cold.

"Why is it you?" Adrian’s voice was icy.

"Uncle, I saw you’re not asleep, so I came to check on you," Ivy Evans said with an innocent face.

"Do you have any business?"

"Is this your son? He’s so pretty, can I hold him?"

Of course, Adrian Desmond couldn’t let a stranger hold his son, let alone Sheehan who wouldn’t allow strangers to hold him.

"We need to rest. If there’s nothing else, please leave," Adrian still spoke politely, considering Sienna Johnson.

Actually, if Ivy Evans knew Adrian Desmond’s personality, she should have just left it at that, instead of persisting.

"Uncle, I..." Ivy Evans looked at Adrian Desmond shyly. Adrian frowned and said, "Think it over before you speak!" He slammed the door shut.

Ivy Evans looked at the closed door, stomping her foot, not expecting any men to be unmoved by her beauty.

Ivy Evans had seen Adrian Desmond once before in Abyanabad, driving a luxury car, followed by several bodyguards. She heard from a classmate later that the AK club, which only wealthy people could enter, belonged to him.

Meeting Adrian Desmond again, Ivy Evans never expected him to be her aunt’s husband.

Sienna Johnson is beautiful, but after all, a woman who has given birth and looks strong-willed. Men like gentle, demure women. With her looks rivaling Sienna Johnson’s, Ivy Evans couldn’t believe she couldn’t win over Adrian Desmond.

—Adrian Desmond, just wait, I’ll make you fall in love with me eventually.

Sienna Johnson stood not far away, looking at Ivy Evans standing by their door, her eyes cold.

Sally asked, "Madam, do you want me to teach her a lesson?"

"Hmm, if she’s losing her mind, toss her in the swimming pool to clear her head."

"Yes."

"Remember, don’t let anyone catch you."
