Chapter 426: Chapter 427: Men from Abyanabad are Really Annoying
"Don’t we have servants at home? Just let them do it. You’re pregnant now; you shouldn’t be doing these chores," Lucas Robertson said gently, but unfortunately, Kiki didn’t appreciate his concern, and Sienna Johnson felt the same way.
She didn’t oppose Kiki and Lucas Robertson being together, but she disliked the despicable methods Lucas Robertson employed. Were all Abyanabad men so selfish? Why did they never consider the other person’s feelings?
When Adrian Desmond woke up and saw Sienna Johnson wasn’t there, he washed up and went to look for her. In the kitchen, he found not only Sienna Johnson but also Lucas Robertson and Kiki, who had been away for a long time.
"Sixth Master!" Kiki greeted Adrian Desmond respectfully upon seeing him.
"Mm," Adrian Desmond nodded, glanced at her and Lucas Robertson, then said to Sienna Johnson, "Why are you up so early?"
"I couldn’t sleep."
Sienna Johnson avoided Adrian Desmond’s gaze. The thought of that bite mark made her heart clench with unease. She wanted to ask, but Adrian Desmond’s actions last night had clearly shown he wanted her to trust him and not ask questions.
She lowered her head, took her daughter’s hand, and led her out.
Adrian Desmond watched their retreating figures, his gaze profound.
「」
They had breakfast in the small dining room. Kiki had prepared millet porridge, small steamed buns as the staple food, and stir-fried a few side dishes.
Lucas Robertson kept putting food into Kiki’s bowl, as if he wanted to stuff all the dishes on the table into her stomach. Eventually, Kiki got annoyed, put down her bowl, and just glared at Lucas Robertson. Only then did he sheepishly stop.
"Don’t be angry; I just want you to eat more."
"I have hands and feet; I can get my own food!"
Even when angry, Kiki’s voice was gentle, lacking impact. Sienna Johnson now found Lucas Robertson more and more disagreeable the more she looked at him.
"Lucas Robertson, what about your sister-in-law?" Sienna Johnson deliberately asked.
"..."
"Isn’t her name Mina?"
"..."
"I remember Mina also lived in the Dragon Court Residence Complex... Is she still living there?"
Lucas Robertson said, "I sent Mina back to Abyanabad."
"Oh? Was Mina willing?" she teased.
"She had to be, whether she wanted to or not!"
"Sigh, Mina loved you so much. Her heart must be broken..."
Kiki knew about Mina’s feelings for him; Kiki had even caught Mina forcibly kissing him. Lucas Robertson’s earlier words were actually an explanation for Kiki, hoping she wouldn’t misunderstand his relationship with Mina.
"Lucas Robertson, the Johnson family’s place is small. When do you plan to move out?" Sienna Johnson deliberately tried to annoy him.
Did he really think that by forcing Kiki to marry him and getting her pregnant, he had nothing to fear? She definitely wouldn’t let him get his way.
"Okay," Lucas Robertson agreed readily, then turned to Kiki. "Shall we go look at houses today? Would you prefer an Apartment or a villa?"
Although Lucas Robertson’s financial resources couldn’t compare to Adrian Desmond’s, he still had plenty of money, enough to at least provide Kiki with a sufficiently prosperous life.
Kiki said resolutely, "I’m not leaving. This is my home. Sienna and Curly are here, so I’m staying here. You can move out yourself."
"Kiki, we’re married! This isn’t your home anymore."
"Then let’s get a divorce!"
Lucas Robertson’s face darkened.
"We have a child now. How can you just say ’divorce’ so easily? Don’t say such things recklessly in the future," Lucas Robertson said sternly.
Kiki was helping Curly eat, completely ignoring Lucas Robertson. Lucas Robertson felt snubbed.
"If Kiki isn’t moving, I’m not moving either. How about this: I’ll pay rent. What do you think?" Lucas Robertson said to Sienna Johnson.
"No!"
Lucas Robertson knew Sienna Johnson was deliberately making things difficult for him and said brazenly, "My wife isn’t leaving, so I’m not leaving either!"
Sienna Johnson lost her temper. "Are you planning to freeload at my house?"
Lucas Robertson looked at Sienna Johnson and explained, "I know you’re very dissatisfied with my actions, but I genuinely like Kiki, and I will treat her well for my entire life!"
Lucas Robertson usually wasn’t a man of many words. It wasn’t easy for him to say these things in front of so many people.
"Have you asked Kiki? Does she want your affection? Do you really think only you can give her happiness? Kiki is so good; if you can give her happiness, others can too, like Samuel Palmer!"
Lucas Robertson fell silent!
"You Abyanabad men are all so self-righteous and annoying!"
Adrian Desmond frowned slightly.
Lucas Robertson didn’t respond to Sienna Johnson anymore, just focused on helping Kiki eat. Kiki, in turn, was focused on Curly. Curly was very careful and didn’t dare to speak out of turn.
"Let’s eat. It’s no use getting angry now that things are like this," Adrian Desmond consoled.
"Are you trying to say that since the rice is cooked, we should just accept them?" Sienna Johnson said sarcastically.
Lucas Robertson’s actions reminded her of Adrian Desmond. Back then, Adrian Desmond had also completely disregarded her feelings, resorting to forceful seizure. She hated this kind of unequal love. Love should be evenly matched, a contest of equals, not one party suppressing the other to the point where they don’t even have the right to say ’no’.
Lucas Robertson spoke up, "You and Adrian Desmond aren’t getting along; don’t take it out on me!"
Adrian Desmond was not pleased. "Who says we aren’t getting along?"
Lucas Robertson replied coldly, "Haven’t you noticed? She’s been attacking Abyanabad men. If she was just dissatisfied with me, she could have said so directly. But she keeps saying Abyanabad men are this and that, which includes you in her criticism."
"Are you dissatisfied with me?" Adrian Desmond asked Sienna Johnson.
Sienna Johnson stood up and walked out.
"Daddy, your wife is terrifying when she’s angry. It scared me so much..." Only after Sienna Johnson left did Curly dare to speak, even patting her chest dramatically.
"Your mom has been in a bad mood lately. You be good and listen to her."
"I’m already very obedient. Daddy, you and Mommy shouldn’t have any more babies. Mommy was fine before she got pregnant. But now, Mommy gets angry at the drop of a hat. It’s so scary..."
Adrian Desmond patted his daughter’s head and said, "Are you full? When you’re full, I’ll have Ralph take you to kindergarten."
Ralph was Curly’s bodyguard. After Kiki left, he also took on the duties of a Nanny.
"I want Kiki to take me." Curly clung to Kiki’s arm, not letting go.
"Okay." Kiki looked at her dotingly and straightened her clothes.
Lucas Robertson objected, "You’re pregnant now. You shouldn’t be responsible for taking Curly to and from kindergarten. Stay home and rest well to take care of your pregnancy."
"Sixth Master," Kiki said to Adrian Desmond, "when you have some free time, I’d like to ask you about something."
Adrian Desmond looked at Kiki in surprise. This woman usually couldn’t avoid him fast enough; when had she ever been so bold?
"What is it?"
"It’s about Samuel Palmer."
Lucas Robertson’s eyes darkened!
"What do you want to know?" Adrian Desmond asked.
"Was he someone Sixth Master recruited?"
