The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 801 - 829: A Man’s Teeth Marks

"Such a grown man, yet acting like a child. If he can’t get ’candy,’ he throws a tantrum. So childish!"

"..."

"Oh, and he has this weird quirk about squeezing toothpaste. It must be squeezed from the end, never from the middle. The worst part is, if he likes to squeeze the toothpaste from the end, just do it himself. But as long as the two of us are brushing our teeth together, he insists I squeeze it from the end too.

Isn’t that perverse?"

The conversation turned into a rant about Adrian Desmond’s various faults.

Sienna Johnson talked a lot about Adrian Desmond’s flaws, but Lucas Robertson let it go in one ear and out the other.

"...He’s so stupid! His mind seems like it’s filled with glue; he can’t think clearly in critical moments..."

"..."

"Blindly dutiful! He’s about to be killed by Elliot Carpenter, yet he’s willing, not even willing to resist..."

Suddenly, there was no sound behind her, and Sienna Johnson didn’t catch up. Lucas Robertson stopped, turned around to look at Sienna Johnson, just about to ask why she wasn’t moving, when he saw the leaves of the plants in the distant jungle rustling...

Someone!

He pulled out his gun and gestured for Sienna Johnson to hide behind the tree. Sienna Johnson also took out a scalpel, quickly flashed behind the tree, unable to help Lucas Robertson, but trying not to become a burden to him.

"It’s me!" Adrian Desmond’s voice.

Behind the tree, Sienna Johnson felt a surge of joy, about to step out to see Adrian Desmond, but just as she was about to take a step, she remembered Adrian Desmond blocking a bullet for Elliot Carpenter and almost dying, and it was like being doused with a bucket of cold water, extinguishing all her joy.

"Where’s Sienna?"

Adrian Desmond only saw Lucas Robertson and didn’t see Sienna Johnson. Surrounded by dense bushes, his eyes carefully searched.

Lucas Robertson didn’t speak, just pointed to a large tree. Adrian Desmond understood and quickly walked towards that big tree, circled around its broad trunk, and saw the woman he longed for day and night.

"Sienna..." His voice couldn’t hide his delight, but she kept her head down, staring at her toes, ignoring him.

"..."

"I’m sorry I’m late. Are you okay?" He took a deep breath, his low voice carrying a hint of appeasement. "The Woodenshade Village was burned down. Did you set the fire? ... Were you burned?"

"..."

"Why aren’t you saying anything?"

"..."

"Sienna!" Adrian Desmond couldn’t hold back; he grabbed her, lifted her face, about to kiss her, when he saw the injury on her face and stopped.

"What happened to your face?"

She knew she looked awful at that moment, didn’t want him to see, lowered her head to avoid him, but Adrian Desmond held her face, carefully examining the injury on her face... the more he looked, the more the anger in his eyes burned fiercely.

"Who hit you? Tell me!... Was it Xavier Young?"

Adrian Desmond’s heart twisted into a knot, pain making him want to kill. This woman had done so many things that made him want to kill her, yet he hadn’t the heart to slap her once. Who hit her with such viciousness?

"Why aren’t you speaking? ... Was it Xavier Young? Didn’t he always say he loved you, even telling me to let you two be together? Then how could he hit you like this?"

"Why are you here?" Sienna Johnson asked.

Sienna Johnson genuinely didn’t expect Adrian Desmond to find her. This jungle had a complex terrain, no roads, only dense bushes and thick, soft vegetation. Finding someone here was truly difficult.

"Aren’t you smart? Now that you’re pregnant, you’ve gotten foolish, letting him hit you? Besides your face, do you have injuries elsewhere? ... Let me see..." Adrian Desmond said, pained.

"It’s me who got hit, not you. Why are you so angry?"

"Because I like you, so any bit of injury on you, it feels twice as painful on me."

Adrian Desmond looked at her face, one eye bruised and swollen, the surrounding area bruised, imagining how much force the original blow had.

"You foolish woman!"

"I just got slapped a few times, and Sixth Master is this upset. Sixth Master almost lost his life for Elliot Carpenter before. Have you ever thought about how much my heart hurts?"

"..."

"Or did you think my heart was made of stone and that even if you died, I wouldn’t be sad or upset?"

Sienna Johnson pushed him away, walked around the tree trunk, went to stand next to Lucas Robertson, and said to Lucas, "Lucas, let’s go."
