Chapter 68: Chapter 068: Sixth Master Is Unappreciative

"Mai, I know that where you’re from, men can only marry one wife, but here in Abyanabad, capable men have several wives and concubines. Especially someone like Sixth Master who excels in every aspect... there must be countless women lining up to marry him. Since you’re marrying a man from Abyanabad, you have to respect the local customs," Kiki rambled on, making Sienna Johnson’s ears ache.

"..."

"How could a man like Sixth Master have just one woman? Since he agreed to only marry you and Miss Carpenter, can’t you compromise as well?"

Sienna knew Selena Robertson meant well, so even though she didn’t like her words, she wasn’t angry. In this place, Selena was the only one who genuinely cared for her.

"Kiki, I can’t do that."

If she hadn’t fallen for Adrian Desmond, he could have married as many women as he wanted, and she wouldn’t have cared. But she had unwittingly fallen in love with him, and now she was carrying his child, too.

For her child’s sake, she had to at least try.

"... Why can’t you be more open-minded? You see, Sixth Master will never let you go home, especially now that you’re pregnant. Since the two of you can’t separate in this lifetime, why can’t you compromise and live a good life with him?"

Sienna was wide awake, her mind clearer than ever. "Kiki, are you trying to persuade me to accept my fate?"

"I just don’t want you to torment Sixth Master and yourself!" she whispered.

"Living in sin with Adrian Desmond, alongside his numerous wives and concubines—that would be the real torment and humiliation for me!"

"Mai..."

"Enough! If his heart isn’t in it, then I’ll let go! Do all you women in Abyanabad waste your lives away like this? Believing you hold the moral high ground while actually sacrificing your entire lives... What’s the point of such suffering? If he has no feelings for me, and I simply let go, wouldn’t that be for the best?"

On this issue, Sienna found it impossible to communicate with Selena, or indeed with any of the men and women here.

In the place where Sienna lived, marrying one wife was normal, and marrying two wives was illegal. Here, as long as a man wasn’t too poor, marrying multiple wives was normal, while a man with only one wife was considered a weakling and incapable.

"Let’s sleep. I’m tired." Sienna closed her eyes.

Selena Robertson felt uneasy. She didn’t possess Sienna Johnson’s mental fortitude and knew she wouldn’t sleep that night. She dreaded to think what kind of uproar there would be when Sixth Master woke up the next morning and found Alexis beside him.

"Why are you still standing there? It’s so late, aren’t you going to sleep?" Sienna asked, noticing Kiki standing still.

"Since you pushed Alexis onto Sixth Master, he’ll be furious when he wakes up tomorrow. I can’t sleep. You go ahead. If Sixth Master throws a tantrum tomorrow, I’ll warn you."

Kiki walked to the desk and sat down, her hand propping up her chin, intending to sit there all night.

Sienna looked at the timid Kiki and chuckled. "What are you afraid of? If Sixth Master gets upset, he’ll vent his anger on me, not you. What does it have to do with you?"

"You’re carrying a ’golden egg’ now, so of course you’re not afraid. I’m different."

Sienna turned over and touched her flat belly. I still can’t believe there’s actually a baby inside, she thought, then said, "Don’t worry. As you said, I’m carrying a ’golden egg,’ and it will protect you..."

Kiki shook her head, her expression utterly dejected. "Sixth Master will be absolutely furious tomorrow!"

Sienna couldn’t help but laugh. "Are you that scared of him?"

"Aren’t you?"

"I used to be, but not anymore..." She touched her belly again. I have the best ’talisman’ now. Adrian cherishes this ’golden egg’ in my belly so much that no matter how far I cross the line, he wouldn’t bring himself to throw me into the snake room again.

Thinking of the snake room, Sienna’s expression changed.

BANG...

The door to Kiki’s room was kicked clean off its hinges—not just kicked open, but completely broken down.

"Ah..." Kiki screamed.

The door crashed to the floor with a thud. Adrian Desmond stood in the doorway, wearing a bathrobe, his face a mask of murderous fury, like a malevolent demon crawled up from hell to claim a life.

"Si-Sixth Master..." Kiki cringed, trying to make herself as small as possible, but the room was too tiny.

Sienna sat up and looked at Adrian’s thunderous expression. "Sixth Master, are you sober now?" she greeted him.

"What’s the deal with Alexis?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Alexis? What’s wrong with her?" Sienna deliberately played dumb.

Seeing her innocent expression, Adrian truly wanted to take a whip to her. "If you weren’t pregnant, I’d whip you to death."

"I believe you. There’s nothing Sixth Master wouldn’t do. Last time, when you threw me into the snake room, wasn’t I almost bitten to death by snakes?"

Sienna was angry too. He clearly knew she was terrified of snakes, yet he had still locked her in the snake room.

"..."

"Why don’t you ask me why I locked you in the snake room? You audacious woman! If I don’t teach you a lesson, one day you’ll be the death of me."

"I wouldn’t dare!" she said coldly.

Adrian scoffed. "What wouldn’t you dare to do? Huh, Mai? Tell me, what is there that you wouldn’t dare to do?"

Looking at Kiki, who was shivering in terror, Sienna said, "Kiki, you go out first."

Kiki looked at the furious Adrian. Although terrified, she couldn’t bear to leave Sienna alone to face him. "I-I’ll stay with you..."

"Go out. I’m hungry. Go heat up a cup of milk for me."

"Okay."

Kiki sidled past, trying to avoid the furious Adrian, whose body radiated an intimidating aura that warned everyone to keep their distance.

"Adrian, did Alexis not serve you well? I remember you saying you prefer voluptuous women, and Alexis certainly fits your aesthetic. I don’t understand what you’re so angry about."

Her slender figure was often disdained by Adrian Desmond during their intimate moments.

"Mai, do you think I don’t know what kind of woman you are? I just don’t understand why, when you clearly can’t stand the thought of me even touching another woman, you would send Alexis to my bed. Tell me, why?"

His tone was icy. Then, his index finger lightly, almost tauntingly, brushed her lips. The earlier rage in his eyes had vanished, replaced by a predatory intensity.

"Life is like a struggle; if you can’t resist, you might as well try to enjoy it. Sixth Master will have many women in the future. Since I can’t stop it, I can only slowly adapt. I saw Alexis was interested in Sixth Master, and she’s been serving you diligently lately, so I did you a favor and set you two up."

"..."

"Sixth Master, was Alexis’ service satisfactory?"
