The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress
Chapter 60 - 060: Give Me a Son

Chapter 60: Chapter 060: Give Me a Son

Sienna Johnson always insisted on showering after making love. But this time, she didn’t immediately rush to the bathroom. Instead, she lay there, eyes closed, still in the same position, as if asleep.

Adrian Desmond, however, preferred falling asleep with the scent of each other lingering on them. Extending one long arm, he pulled her into his embrace and whispered in a deep voice,

"Mai, I won’t indulge you anymore!"

Like her insistence on showering after making love, for instance.

Or...

"If you dare to disobey me in the future, I’ll break your legs!" he threatened through gritted teeth, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Or... I’ll lock you up in the snake house..."

Sienna shivered slightly, and Adrian felt it.

"I know you’re scared... but that’s good. Fear will make you remember. You won’t run away again!"

His hand rested on her lower abdomen, gently caressing it, as if something precious and fragile lay within. Adrian whispered softly in her ear, "Mai, give me a son!"

"..."

"I’ve heard that once a woman has a child, she won’t leave..."

Melanie Carpenter had no objections to Sienna Johnson living with Adrian Desmond. In Abyanabad, powerful and influential men often had several wives. Melanie Carpenter bore no particular animosity towards Adrian Desmond’s women; on the contrary, she was quite willing to befriend the beautiful Sienna Johnson. Still, she stated, "My name is Melanie Carpenter. I am Adrian Desmond’s fiancée. From now on, we’ll be sisters." In Abyanabad, women married to the same man addressed each other as sisters.

Melanie Carpenter, being older than Sienna Johnson, gently touched Sienna’s short hair and said, "Sixth Brother likes girls with long hair. You shouldn’t cut your hair so short in the future."

Sienna Johnson sat there motionless, her eyes vacant, unresponsive to any external stimuli. Selena Robertson’s heart ached seeing her like this.

"Miss Carpenter, Mai is terrified. Could you please get a doctor for her? She can’t go on like this forever..." Selena Robertson knew Melanie Carpenter was soft-hearted and took the opportunity to plead.

Melanie Carpenter took the comb from Selena Robertson and gently combed Sienna Johnson’s short hair. "Sixth Brother won’t allow it," she said.

Kiki’s eyes dimmed. Adrian Desmond wouldn’t allow a doctor for Sienna Johnson; he had said that Sienna’s current submissive state was very good.

What exactly was good about it?

"Mai, where are you going?"

Suddenly, Sienna Johnson stood up and began to walk outside. Kiki quickly followed. Seeing Sienna heading towards the snake house again, Kiki burst into tears.

"Mai, what’s wrong with you? That place is full of snakes. Why do you go there every day?"

The snakes in the snake house seemed to have made the stone house their nest. Every dusk, as the snakes returned, Sienna Johnson would enter the snake house.

Kiki didn’t dare enter at all.

"Mai..."

A snake slithered through the ajar door, and Kiki felt a chill run down her spine.

"Mai, let’s go back. This place is terrifying..."

Adrian Desmond arrived, and seeing Kiki, he knew Mai had gone into the snake house again. He strode inside and saw Sienna Johnson sitting on the floor, a snake coiling around her arm. Adrian walked over, snatched the snake off her arm, and slammed it down several times until it was dead.

"Aren’t you afraid of snakes? Why do you come here every day?" he asked.

Sienna Johnson merely stared blankly. Adrian Desmond touched her cold face, his gaze fixed on her empty eyes. A dull ache suddenly pierced his heart. "...I’m returning to Abyanabad tomorrow. You’re coming with me..."

"..."

"From now on, wherever I go, you go too." He no longer dared to leave her alone on the island.

The first time, she had drugged everyone on the island and escaped. The second time, she had an affair with Xavier Young, and he caught them red-handed.

Adrian Desmond didn’t want a third time.

Besides, in Sienna Johnson’s current state, he truly couldn’t rest assured leaving her alone.

"Sixth Master, we’re going on official business. How can we bring a woman along?"

As soon as news of Adrian Desmond’s decision to take Sienna Johnson with him spread, it was met with unanimous opposition.

Walter Klein advised, "Sixth Master, Maxwell Bradford is extremely cunning. We’ll have our hands full as it is. If we bring Mai, and we encounter real danger, should we save you, Sixth Master, or Mai?"

"Save Mai! I can handle myself!" Adrian Desmond commanded.

Because of the incident with Xavier Young, everyone was already dissatisfied with Sienna Johnson.

Although it takes two for such affairs, the men on the island firmly believed that if Sienna Johnson hadn’t seduced Xavier Young with her beauty, he wouldn’t have committed such a disloyal act.

"Sixth Master, we..."

Adrian Desmond waved his hand, stopping them from speaking further. "This matter is decided!"

Evan Carlson still wanted to object but was stopped by Walter Klein. Walter had been with Adrian Desmond the longest and knew his temperament: once Adrian made a decision, it was very difficult to change.

Walter Klein then said, "Sixth Master, have you considered this? In Mai’s current state, how are we supposed to bring her?"

Everyone on the island knew Mai had been frightened out of her wits, but this was something they couldn’t say to Adrian Desmond’s face.

"She’s very obedient now."

Walter Klein thought for a moment and said, "I’ll bring a few extra men this time."

"Mm, you arrange it," Adrian Desmond replied.

News that Adrian Desmond was taking Sienna Johnson back to Abyanabad also reached Melanie Carpenter’s ears. Melanie knew Adrian had many enemies, which was why he had brought her to the island.

"What is Sixth Brother thinking? Mai is ’sick.’ How can he take her back to Abyanabad? ...It’s very dangerous there," Melanie Carpenter said to Bella Ford, her brow furrowed.

Bella Ford wasn’t concerned about Sienna Johnson’s life or death at all; she was thinking of another issue. "Cousin, don’t you think Sixth Brother is too good to that woman?"

"It’s rare for Sixth Brother to find a woman he likes."

Bella Ford looked at Melanie Carpenter with a sense of exasperation, as if disappointed she wasn’t living up to expectations. "Cousin, Sixth Brother is so good to that woman, and you’re not even jealous?"

"Sixth Brother will have many women in the future... If I were to get jealous over every single one, wouldn’t I eventually be consumed by jealousy?" This was the truth. If she couldn’t even tolerate one Sienna Johnson, what about the other women later on?

"I’ve never seen anyone as good-tempered as you."

"Then what would you have me do?" Melanie Carpenter looked at Bella Ford with a smile tinged with bitterness. "Sixth Brother has that kind of temper; he’s not a man who is easily swayed. Once he makes a decision, forget about me, not even Aunt and Uncle can persuade him."

"Cousin, I’m worried that woman will one day walk all over you. ...Do you think Sixth Brother would let you be wronged for that woman’s sake?"

A glint flashed in Melanie Carpenter’s eyes, so fleeting it was almost imperceptible. Mai’s heart isn’t with Sixth Brother!

"What?"

"Nothing."
