The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 926 - 908: Blackwood, Date_2

"Got it, I’m not feeling well, I’m going to sleep."

"What about Ashley, what are we going to do about your brother?"

"Didn’t Marvin go to rescue my brother? What more do you want from me?" Ashley looked at her family, feeling cold inside.

"Ashley, see if you can ask that sister-in-law of yours. I’ve heard she’s quite capable, maybe she can get him out with just a word."

Father Hopper worried that Marvin Rafael might not be able to rescue his son, so he placed his hopes on Sienna Johnson.

Ashley was frustrated, "Back then I suggested asking her for help, but you insisted on bringing a group of people to bully others. Now you’ve offended her, and you want me to ask for help? I won’t go, whoever wants to go can go."

"What’s wrong with you? How can you talk to your father like that?" Mother Hopper scolded.

"Sister, we didn’t expect Sienna Johnson to be so difficult to deal with!"

"I’m not feeling well, let’s talk about it later."

Ashley hid her head under the blanket, not wanting to say anything.

...

Blackwood Town didn’t have many people, but with its development, many small businesses sprouted up.

The limestone paved road was smooth and clean, with white walls and black tiles. Crystal-clear streams ran between houses, slowly flowing into the small Qing River that crossed the town center. The arched bridge over the river was built during the Harald and Norden Dynasty. The bridge’s surface was clean and ancient, with a small boat carrying tourists slowly passing underneath.

Sienna Johnson and Adrian Desmond stood on the bridge, taking in the town’s quaint scenery.

"I’ve come so many times since I grew up, but this is the first time I’ve had the leisure to appreciate the scenery here," Sienna mused.

Every time, she came with work, completed her tasks, and left hastily, like a migratory bird.

Her memories of Blackwood Town were vague from childhood, but they became vivid as Adrian walked with her.

"Did you live here when you were little? Walk this limestone paved road, cross this bridge?" Adrian asked.

"Yes."

Adrian held her hand as they descended the bridge, saying, "Walking the paths you walked as a child feels amazing."

"Would you like to try the gourmet treats I had as a child?"

She turned her head and smiled at him, but Adrian couldn’t laugh, "You know I can’t eat spicy foods, probably can’t enjoy your favorite dishes."

They say people who can’t share meals can’t share lives, and their tastes were just so far apart.

One loves spicy food, the other can’t handle it at all.

Adrian tried to accommodate Sienna’s tastes, but after many attempts, he only felt it was self-torture and stopped the irrational behavior.

"It’s not spicy, it’s something you can eat."

"Great, I’m just getting hungry."

Adrian then followed Sienna to try the local delicacies, hoping they weren’t something like hairy eggs, as he found that stuff really disgusting.

"How do you plan to deal with the Hopper family?" As they walked, Adrian suddenly asked with curiosity.

"By leveraging their greed!"

"What?"

"Don’t ask, I naturally have a way to deal with them. Now is our date time, let’s not talk about that family."

They finally had the leisure to stroll through the town, and Sienna didn’t want the Hopper family to ruin their good mood.

"Here we are." Sienna pulled Adrian’s hand, ready to run, which gave Adrian a shock, feeling a cold sweat.

"You’re pregnant, be careful!"

"Last time I came, it was with Curly, and even your picky daughter said it was delicious. You will definitely like it."

...

"Boss Lady, one bowl of single noodle, one bowl of milk soup noodle, two bowls of soft bean curd, one oil-braised goose, one plate of mung bean jelly noodles."

As soon as they entered the shop, they found a table by the window, and Sienna began ordering without even looking at the menu.

"Do you come here often?"

"Whenever I come for business trips, I eat here if I have time. Curly particularly loves their oil-braised goose, I’ll pack a few to send back with Sally."

The Boss Lady quickly served the dishes, glanced at Adrian, and asked, "Is this your man?"

"Yes."

"You’re so pretty, and I’ve wondered what kind of man you’ll marry. Girl beautiful, man handsome, indeed..."

Sienna was in a good mood, joking, "Boss Lady, he’s already mine, stop eyeing him."

The Boss Lady teased, "He’s so good-looking, can’t I even glance? If you don’t want him looked at, don’t let him out."

"Boss Lady, are you trying to steal my man?"

"I may have the heart, but not the power. If I were ten years younger, I might’ve really stolen him."

"..."

"Good-looking, eat more, Sister’s treat, don’t be shy," the Boss Lady said warmly to Adrian.

Sienna didn’t get angry, just propped her chin and watched the Boss Lady "flirt" with her man.

"Are you sure you’re treating?" Adrian asked.

"Of course, when the Tofu Seer speaks, it’s a promise in Blackwood," the Boss Lady replied cheerfully.

"My daughter loves your shop’s oil-braised goose, please pack twenty," Adrian said earnestly.

The Boss Lady stopped laughing, "Good-looking, that’s not very fair. Looking twice is one thing, but now you want to eat for free and pack twenty oil-braised geese!"

"Boss Lady, you said you’d treat us? Are you kidding me?" Adrian looked at the middle-aged woman with an intimidating gaze.

"Oh, your man is so fierce."

"Adrian, they only sell 50 oil-braised geese a day."

Adrian frowned, "If you don’t mean it, don’t say it carelessly."

"Haha, yes, yes, my fault, being so old and still getting dazzled by beauty."

Sienna laughed, "Boss Lady, you’re always so amusing."

"Life is hard, if you don’t bring yourself joy, aren’t you setting yourself up for misery?"
