Chapter 1226 - 1166: My Queen, Welcome Back

Pauline Briggs held Hugo Johnson, only smiling, without answering.

Pauline Briggs used to enjoy shopping, beauty treatments, and even a bit of mahjong. Nowadays, she has canceled all her social engagements, focusing on her grandchildren.

"Mom, since you and Dad have nothing much to do when you return home, why not stay a few more days here?" Pauline Briggs tried to persuade.

Although the elderly of the Johnson Family are no longer around, they feel uncomfortable staying here long-term. First, they aren’t accustomed to living here, and second, they worry about gossip.

"Your father and I will often come visit you." The old lady looked at her daughter with affection and said.

Sienna Johnson chimed in, "Grandma, I will also often bring my mom and the kids to visit you and Grandpa."

"I’m satisfied with your thoughts."

...

Friends and relatives left, and both Adrian Desmond and Sienna Johnson were exhausted, as were the four children who had fallen asleep.

She finished her bath and sprawled on the bed. Adrian massaged her to help her relax, and Sienna felt so comfortable that she nearly fell asleep. Adrian stopped after massaging Sienna for half an hour.

He lay beside her, tucked her in, and prepared to sleep.

"Very tired?" Sienna asked.

"Yes." Adrian answered with his eyes closed.

Sienna originally wanted to tell him about her plan to work at the company tomorrow, but seeing Adrian so tired, she couldn’t bring herself to say it.

She couldn’t just leave the kids with Adrian, being a mother.

"Then sleep."

"Do you have something to tell me?" Adrian asked.

"Yes..."

It’s like this, Vivian Abbey also wants to have children, so I plan to start working again.

I can’t keep leaving the company to Vivian. A woman’s best age for having children is just a few years, and I wouldn’t want to delay Vivian."

Adrian opened his eyes and looked at his increasingly beautiful and alluring wife; time seemed to have paused on her face. She remained as beautiful as when he first saw her, stirring his heart.

"I can’t rest easy when you’re out of my sight."

Currently, the Johnson Family’s defense is tight. Adrian secretly placed many guards to protect everyone in the Johnson Family, but once they step out, the guard power weakens considerably. Adrian couldn’t feel comfortable about Sienna going out.

"Because of Night Owl?"

"Yes."

Sienna lay on his chest, kissed his lips, and said, "Are we to stop living just because of a lurking Night Owl?"

Night Owl’s inactivity indeed gives them the illusion that they’ve been spared by Night Owl. However, cautious Sienna did not believe this.

Night Owl wouldn’t give up easily.

She and her children have their own lives. Because of Night Owl, should she hide in the Johnson Family forever and not engage with society? Sienna couldn’t do it. She couldn’t bear to let her children be stuck in the Johnson Family forever, without engaging with society.

Adrian sighed, saying, "I’m really lacking confidence right now... Night Owl has no weaknesses, while I’m full of them... I’m not afraid of him directly targeting me, but I’m afraid of him targeting you. I couldn’t bear any harm to any of you."

Sienna played with his fingers. Hearing his vulnerable words, she lowered her head and kissed his fingers, softly saying, "Me too... You don’t know how worried I was when you were in a coma. If you hadn’t woken up, all my hair would’ve fallen out."

Adrian patted her clouds of lush hair, leaned over and kissed her, her hair scented lightly of shampoo, akin to his own.

"For you and the kids, I won’t let anything happen to me again!" Adrian promised Sienna, and she solemnly nodded.

"..."

"Adrian, what do you think Night Owl is scheming?" Sienna couldn’t understand the man’s motives.

"It’s certainly not good."

Seeing Sienna wrinkle her brows in worry, Adrian felt remorseful for having told her such things, knowing well how deeply Sienna thinks.

"Sleep now. He’s not so frightening really. I’m here, as long as I’m alive, I won’t let him hurt you."

Sienna smiled at him, her eyes full of trust in Adrian.

"I’m not as fragile as you think, I’ll work hard to protect myself too, so you won’t have to worry."

"Don’t be reckless!" Adrian cautioned her with concern.

"Okay."

...

Imperial Palace in Abyanabad,

Night Owl lay on the recliner, eyes closed, gently rocking the chair, emitting a creaking sound.

Silicon reported Sienna Johnson’s news to Night Owl; someone came to inform him of Sienna’s every move daily.

"... Do the kids resemble anyone?"

"The boys greatly resemble Miss Johnson, as do the girls." Silicon replied.

"Is that so?"

Night Owl’s voice conveyed no joy or anger. Silicon couldn’t read the man before him, though Night Owl was clearly intent on Sienna, yet hadn’t acted.

If left to him, he’d directly abduct her and toy with her as he pleased. Women were only valuable until they are attained.

Night Owl suddenly opened his eyes, looking at the lavish golden ceiling, gave an order, "Bring a few people, invite Sienna Johnson to the palace as a guest."

Night Owl wants Sienna, but not Adrian’s children. Now that Sienna has given birth, Night Owl is about to make his move.

Actually, he could easily kill Adrian’s children, but knowing Sienna’s fierce character, she’d likely resort to extremes.

He finally fell for someone, he didn’t want to ruin it.

Silicon cautiously asked for clarification, "Should we kidnap Miss Johnson?"

Night Owl turned the chair to face Silicon directly, "Don’t hurt her! If she even loses a strand of hair, I’ll settle with you!"

Silicon understood, Night Owl meant to abduct Sienna Johnson without causing her harm.

"Yes, I’ll get it done right away."

Silicon departed to carry out Night Owl’s order.

Night Owl got up, bypassing the main hall, walked into a highly luxurious room prepared for Sienna Johnson.

The wardrobe was filled with countless latest fashion clothes, shoes, hats, jewelry... Just a cabinet of gloves made to fit Sienna’s hands alone. Each piece chosen thoughtfully by Night Owl.

Sienna detested pink, thus there wasn’t a single pink item...

"I wonder, do you like what I’ve prepared for you?" Night Owl quietly asked himself.

He wandered slowly in the over 15-square meters wardrobe, his hands occasionally touching the clothes and jewelry... As if caressing the woman who moved him.

A diamond-studded white floor-length wedding dress adorned a mannequin, Night Owl imagined how beautiful Sienna Johnson would look wearing it.

Night Owl bowed deeply, anticipating Sienna Johnson’s arrival, to enter the lavish room he prepared with care for her.

"My queen, this is the room I arranged for you, welcome back!"
