Chapter 447: Chapter 448: The Unreasonable Little Woman
"Stop..."
Her breath hitched as he kissed her. She pushed him away, panting, her cheeks flushed crimson, overcome with shyness.
"Did you miss me?" he asked in a hoarse voice, his eyes shining with ardent desire.
"If you missed me, then I missed you. If you didn’t, then I didn’t either!" She was still resentful of his recent indifference.
Seems like that wasn’t enough...
Adrian Desmond kissed her lips, for which he had yearned day and night, once more. Her small hand pressed against his chest in a feeble attempt at resistance. It felt as if he wanted to devour her whole, his uncontrollable strength growing heavier. She could feel a stinging pain and a wave of numbness on her lips.
He gave her no chance to breathe, holding her tightly, greedily inhaling her fragrance. Sienna Johnson’s knees went weak; if he hadn’t been clutching her waist, she would have stumbled backward awkwardly.
After what felt like an eternity, he finally released her, panting heavily. His gaze burned into her flushed face. "It’s five more days until the three-month mark. Would it be alright if we... didn’t wait those five days?"
Sienna Johnson lay weakly against his chest, gasping for breath, taking in large gulps of the surrounding air.
"I want you right now..." He reached for her face, preparing to kiss her again.
Sienna Johnson’s reluctance faded, and she began to show her own passion. Encouraged by her response, Adrian Desmond grew bolder.
Sienna Johnson’s eyes were misty, her gaze as captivating as rippling water, making Adrian Desmond burn with heat all over.
"Be gentle..."
"After this baby, no more children!" He didn’t want to endure another year of abstinence.
"No, I want to have lots of children!"
"Why do you want so many children? Don’t you know women age faster when they have many?"
"Are you saying you’ll find me repulsive then?"
She regained some of her composure, her gaze sharp as she looked at Adrian Desmond. He placed her on the table and swept all the obstructing items to the floor with a crash.
"Answer me!" Sienna Johnson wasn’t going to let him off so easily.
"I’m not!"
Sienna remained silent, her expression unyielding.
"Stop your nonsense," Adrian growled. "We can talk after I’m done!"
He suddenly pulled off her underwear. His suit jacket was already off, and a few buttons of his shirt were undone. Sienna caught sight of a faint, scarred tooth mark on his chest. The lingering passion vanished as if a bubble had popped. Sienna came back to her senses, her gaze clearing considerably. Thinking of the woman who had bitten him, Sienna seethed with anger. She lifted her foot, aimed at Adrian Desmond’s abdomen, and kicked him without mercy.
Thus, the brilliant and formidable Sixth Master, a commanding presence in both legitimate and underworld circles, was knocked down by a woman.
Adrian Desmond lay on the floor, his arousal still evident, looking at her with an expression of utter bewilderment and innocence, appearing as pitiful as could be.
After a long moment, Adrian Desmond finally processed that he had been kicked by a woman. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Sienna Johnson, what the hell are you stirring up for me this time?"
Sienna Johnson’s face was taut, and she said nothing.
The passionate atmosphere had completely disintegrated. The couple, who had been intensely entangled just moments before, now regarded each other like strangers.
"Speak! How on earth did I offend you again?" He sat up, glaring at the woman before him.
It hadn’t been easy for him! To see her sooner, he’d barely slept, pushing himself and his men to exhaustion. He’d returned early, and this was how she repaid him? By kicking him and giving him the cold shoulder! This woman, if left unchecked for three days, she’d tear the house down!
"I don’t know what you’re thinking. If you want me to guess, I won’t be able to. Just tell me, how exactly did I offend you?"
Sienna Johnson glared at him, snatched an inkstone from the table, and threw it at him. "Adrian Desmond, you bastard! You still have the nerve to ask me why I’m angry!"
Adrian Desmond deftly caught the inkstone and roared back, equally furious, "What did I do now?"
"Tell me, which woman have you been messing around with?"
Adrian Desmond was taken aback. "How did you know?" he asked.
Sienna Johnson froze. He really has another woman?
Her eyes welled with tears, her heart aching with a bitter pang. "Get out!"
"What’s gotten into you? Yes, they sent me a few women, but I didn’t lay a finger on them. Aiden Howard likes women, so I planned to give them all to him. Is that little thing really worth your anger?"
"So, people sent you women?"
"Isn’t that what you were just talking about?"
Adrian Desmond felt like he’d fallen into a trap.
"Adrian Desmond, you’re really something! You’ve only been gone a few days, and people are already offering you women. Is it because I’m pregnant and can’t satisfy you? Are you that desperate? ...Aren’t they beauties? Why the pretense? Go on, sleep with a different one each day..."
"When have I been pretentious?"
"You don’t want them? If you don’t want them, why did you accept them? Do you think I’m easy to fool?"
"What do you understand?"
"Yes, I don’t understand anything! And I don’t want to understand! Get out!"
Sienna Johnson had only asked casually, not expecting to unearth so much. No wonder there hadn’t been a single text or phone call. He was probably off reveling with a bevy of beauties, completely lost in pleasure. How could he possibly remember her, his heavily pregnant wife?
The more she thought about it, the more bitter she felt. To her own dismay, tears began to stream down her face. Startled, she hastily tried to wipe them away, but they only flowed faster.
"Go!" She didn’t want to see him.
Adrian Desmond’s anger melted away as he watched her cry. He couldn’t bear to see her shed a single tear. He got up from the floor, walked over to her, and reached out, but she slapped his hand away.
"Why are you crying? I told you, I didn’t touch them. You don’t understand the rules of the underworld. When they gift me women, even if I don’t use them, I can’t refuse." His tone softened.
Sienna said nothing, tears still glistening in her eyes.
"Before I met you, people often sent women to me. I always passed them on to others. I swear, on our son’s name, I swear I haven’t touched a single one of them. What are you crying for? You’re making it sound like I’m having an affair."
The term "having an affair" was something Adrian Desmond had learned in Sileria City. In Abyanabad, the concept of a man "having an affair" didn’t really exist.
In Abyanabad, as long as a woman wasn’t someone else’s wife, a man was free to sleep with any woman he pleased.
"You still say you didn’t? Then tell me, what’s this tooth mark on your chest about?" She threw a pen holder at him. "Don’t tell me you bit yourself!"
"What tooth mark?"
"Still playing dumb?" Sienna cried even harder. She had missed him so much, and here he was, this man, reveling with beauties, completely forgetting her.
"I knew it. Once you had me, you stopped cherishing me."
"How could I ever stop cherishing you?"
Adrian Desmond felt a headache coming on. The little woman before him was nothing like the shrewd Sienna Johnson he knew; she was acting completely unreasonable. Still, he loved her even when she was like this.
"So... are you jealous?"
Sienna Johnson paused for a moment, then wailed, "Yes, I am jealous! You must be thrilled!"
