Chapter 302 - 303: The Missed Opportunity Four Years Ago

Chapter 302: Chapter 303: The Missed Opportunity Four Years Ago

"What did you tell that pretty boy the other day?" Adrian Desmond demanded.

"It’s none of your business!"

"How is it not my business? You’re my woman! You’ve already cheated on me, how can I not interfere?" Adrian’s face suddenly turned gloomy, anger evident in his eyes. He raised his voice in fury, "I know you like that man, but let me tell you, Sienna Johnson, give up on that idea. As long as I’m alive, you can only be mine!"

"..."

"If you dare to be with that man, I will kill him!"

His roar made her ears buzz. Sienna snapped back, "Adrian, you and Melanie Carpenter really are a perfect match!"

"You and I are the perfect match!"

Adrian tried to steady his breathing and sighed. "Sienna, let’s stop fighting, okay? I don’t want to argue with you at all. Don’t say things that anger me, like returning the bride price... You were always mine; giving you the bride price was just a formality..."

Sienna chuckled. "...Just a formality? You never really wanted to marry me. Adrian, what am I to you?"

"How could I not truly want to marry you? I intended to marry you four years ago."

"Four years ago, you married Melanie Carpenter!"

"..."

"Adrian, have you forgotten? Let me remind you! Four years ago, between me and Melanie Carpenter, you chose Melanie and abandoned me!"

Her grievances were well-hidden in her heart, deep down where others couldn’t see or touch, and only she knew the taste of it. She was a vengeful person, always remembering Adrian’s mistreatment.

"I never abandoned you; you abandoned me!"

Sienna had grievances, but Adrian had even greater ones. "...You just forgot about me completely. If I had come a little later, you would have married Kenneth Brown. Mai, have you ever thought about what I’ve been through these past years?"

"..."

"You ran away with the child. I looked for you, but I didn’t dare to search too aggressively because I was afraid you might hurt the child to avoid me. Do you know what it feels like to live every single day, oscillating between hope and disappointment?"

"..."

"In Abyanabad, I filled the nursery with clothes and toys... Do you know how it feels to miss Curly and sit in her nursery for an entire day?"

"..."

"You’ll never know. I should have taken Curly away and let you taste that bitterness too!"

"Adrian, you dare?"

"What wouldn’t I dare to do now?"

"Adrian! You son of a bitch, go back to Abyanabad, go back to Melanie’s side! All of you, get out! I don’t want to see you! You disgust me!" Sienna yelled at him, finally feeling a sense of relief.

Adrian, on the other hand, was dejected. No one but Sienna dared to provoke him like this.

"Can we stop fighting? Sienna, let’s not fight anymore. We still have Curly. Don’t you want Curly to grow up in a happy family?"

"Adrian, you people... you’re bullying me too much!"

"What’s wrong with you today? Did you swallow dynamite?" Adrian also noticed Sienna’s unusual agitation; she was like a tinderbox, ready to ignite at any moment.

"What else could it be? Mrs. Desmond just called me. What do you expect me to do?" she yelled at him.

"Mrs. Desmond? Who?" In Adrian’s heart, Mrs. Desmond was Sienna.

"Stop pretending! Adrian, let me ask you, have you really divorced Melanie?" This was a question she had been planning to ask for four years.

"Yes!"

"Do you dare to swear?"

"I dare!"

"You’re still lying to me! Even now, you’re still trying to deceive me. Do you think I’m the same idiot I was four years ago? A fool to be led around by the nose by you? Do you think I’ll believe you divorced Melanie again, just like I did four years ago?"

"What on earth are you talking about?" Adrian became increasingly confused.

"Adrian, you’re a bastard!"

"Wait, what did you say? You’ve known for four years that I divorced Melanie?" he asked, surprised.

"Yes!"

"If you knew, why didn’t you come looking for me?" He still thought she hadn’t seen the newspaper; she had seen it, but she hadn’t come to find him. "Four years ago, you said that as long as I didn’t marry Melanie, you’d stay by my side. So why did you leave when you saw my divorce announcement?"

Sienna laughed sarcastically. "Adrian, four years ago, I called you on the day of my car accident."

"Four years ago? When did you call me?" He didn’t recall receiving any call from her. "Did you really call me? I never received any call from you."

"I called you from Bluzell City in Bonraca. If you don’t believe me, you can check the call records. It was Melanie who answered the phone."

Adrian’s eyes flashed with a cold light. "Did she say anything to you?"

"Yes! She told me that you two never actually divorced and that publishing the divorce announcement was just a ploy to trick me into coming back. Adrian, you’re the same bastard now as you were four years ago! You want to trick me into going to Abyanabad, break my wings, and keep me caged so you can have us both..."

"..."

"Adrian, let me tell you, even if every other man in the world died, I wouldn’t marry you! You disgust me! You and Melanie are two of a kind!"

Adrian began to understand. "And you believed her? Sienna, aren’t you supposed to be smart? If Melanie could use suicide to force me to marry her, what wouldn’t she be capable of doing?"

"..."

"Are you a pig? You believed her words? Why didn’t you call me to confirm?"

She knew four years ago! If I had received Sienna’s call back then, we wouldn’t have been separated for so long, and I wouldn’t have been tormented for these four years.

"..."

"You fool!"

I had a car accident and completely forgot about Adrian. How could I have called him to confirm? She couldn’t be bothered to explain this to a madman like Adrian.

"Go back to your Abyanabad! I never want to see you again!"

Sienna hung up, leaving a furious Adrian on the other end. "Hey, don’t hang up!" He immediately redialed, but his number had already been blocked.

"Damn it!"

Their conversation had been so loud that Walter Klein had heard it all clearly. What a huge misunderstanding, he thought.

"Sixth Master, should I investigate?"

Adrian said irritably, "Investigate what? I know her. She wouldn’t lie about something like this."

"..."

Melanie, what is she trying to do? He had no idea Melanie had actually called Sienna.
