The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 827 - 844: Stubborn as a Mule

Life after Paige Desmond’s divorce had been quite pleasant.

No need to endure her mother-in-law’s emotional coldness, no need to be bound by so many rules, no need to worry that her husband would marry many wives, she could do anything she wanted.

Her son was still by her side. Her son’s health was getting better, and he was smiling more and more.

Currently, the only thing that troubled Paige was her worrisome brother and sister-in-law.

In Paige’s view, they were practically a pair of discontented partners; neither of them had a great temper, so recently, their silent conflicts had been increasing.

"Mom, Uncle and Aunt are fighting again, they won’t divorce like you and Dad, will they?"

"Nonsense!" Paige wouldn’t let her son speak irresponsibly.

Paige glanced at her son and instructed, "Dylan, you mustn’t say things like that, understood? Your Uncle will be upset if he hears it."

"When is Curly coming back?"

"I’ll ask your Aunt later."

Dylan looked at his mother and laughed, "Why don’t you ask Aunt to bring Curly back from Abyanabad? I miss Curly."

"Okay, I’ll ask. But I can’t guarantee Aunt will agree."

"Mm-hmm." Dylan nodded enthusiastically.

Paige finished the low-sugar fruit cake, packed it in a box, took Dylan’s hand, and went to see Sienna Johnson.

When Paige brought her son to see Sienna Johnson, she saw Sienna vomiting again. No matter how severe the morning sickness is, it would eventually disappear later, but Sienna’s condition seemed to be getting worse.

"Sister-in-law, have some water."

Sienna took the cup, rinsed her mouth, and smiled weakly with a pale and worn-out face, "Thank you."

"Aunt, are you okay?"

"I’m fine." Sienna asked the servant to take away the spittoon and sat there still feeling uncomfortable.

When she was pregnant with Curly, even fleeing on the road, she hadn’t felt this bad.

"What did you make delicious today?"

"Fruit cake." Paige placed the cake she brought on the table, opened the package, revealing a colorful fruit cake.

The fruits were Abyanabad’s seasonal fruits, and they were all Sienna’s favorites.

"Paige, I can’t eat much, don’t make different things for me every day." Sienna said embarrassedly.

"Well, I’m quite idle."

"..."

"These are fresh seasonal fruits, and because they’re so sweet, not much sugar was added to the cake. Try it, do you like it?"

Paige cut a piece for Sienna, who instead gave it to Dylan. Dylan shook his head, "Aunt, Dylan doesn’t eat it, you eat."

"There’s so much cake, Aunt can’t eat it all by herself."

Paige told her son, "Dylan, Aunt doesn’t have an appetite, accompany her and eat a little."

"Okay."

Sienna lovingly looked at Dylan, enviously saying, "I wish our son, Adrian and mine, could be as well-behaved and considerate as Dylan."

"Brother and Sister-in-law’s child is naturally smart, beautiful, and adorable."

"I just hope he’s not so mischievous, a bit milder in nature, not stubborn like Adrian, stubborn as a mule."

Mule?

Paige laughed, "So what’s the reason for your cold war this time?"

Because of Adrian’s poisoning incident.

Because Adrian refused to follow her back to Sileria City.

In this place, she was on edge, unable to trust anyone. Therefore, Sienna wanted to take Adrian back to Sileria City, to have Eastminster Pharmaceutical Factory’s Research and Development Department conduct a thorough physical examination for him.

However, Adrian adamantly refused to go and wouldn’t let her go back, insisting Sileria City was unsafe.

Sienna sighed, "Adrian is too stubborn, completely unwilling to listen to others’ opinions."

Paige comforted, "In Abyanabad, a man must shoulder everything, a woman just needs to stay at home and have children. My brother is a very traditional Ablan man, with quite a few shortcomings. But if you love each other, there’s nothing you can’t overcome."

"You and Kiya love each other too, don’t you?"

"So is Sister-in-law planning to divorce my brother?"

Sienna frowned, "With a child involved, how can we divorce? Your brother hasn’t done anything unforgivable."

"Since you’re not planning to divorce, arguing so much will wear down even the strongest feelings."

"It’s because Adrian is too stubborn, he doesn’t listen to my opinions at all." Sienna complained.
