She complained, "Why are you locking the study door for no reason?"
"So, did you think I was inside with lanie Carpenter... hmm?" Adrian didn’t finish the sentence, but he knew Sienna Johnson understood.
"Who’s telling you to lock the door out of nowhere?"
"Since you trust so little, you still let seduce lanie Carpenter?"
"It’s not that I don’t trust you; I’m worried that lanie might have tricked you. lanie has poison, who knows if she has Aphrodisiac! If she gives you a bit of Aphrodisiac and you can’t resist, wouldn’t I be losing both the lady and the soldiers?"
Sienna walked over to the sofa and sat down, staring at the plate of already cold fish balls. Adrian quickly said, "Don’t touch them, they were sent by lanie Carpenter, they’re poisonous!"
He walked over briskly and threw the plate of fish balls, painstakingly made by lanie Carpenter, into the trash.
"These fish balls are very well made, obviously took a lot of effort."
"No matter how good they are, I won’t eat them."
"So, how’s the progress?"
With Sienna here, Adrian finally relaxed completely. He sat beside her, then put his legs up on the table, patted his thighs, and said, "Sit on !"
"Although I’m pregnant and weigh about 15 pounds, are you sure my pregnant self won’t break your legs sitting there?"
"Sit on !"
"Alright then!"
Sienna obediently walked over and, as Adrian indicated, straddled him. This position really...
"Can you handle it? ... Break them, it’s not my problem."
Adrian pulled her closer and nudged her strongly, defiantly saying, "You think I can’t handle it? Try !"
Instantly, Sienna’s face flushed a bit, she murmured, "...You rogue!"
Adrian’s slender hand with slight calluses gently stroked her smooth face. Then, thinking of lanie Carpenter’s face, he suddenly felt like he had eaten last night’s leftovers.
Finally, he gently pinched her chin and said, "Marrying you, I’m very lucky."
"Don’t change the topic, quickly tell , how’s the progress?"
Adrian, sowhat disappointed, preferred flirting with Sienna over discussing that woman, lanie Carpenter. He loved seeing her face blush shyly yet happily.
"Just as you wished, she probably went back to get the drug."
Sienna gave him a peck, "Not bad result!"
Adrian was dissatisfied, "I sacrificed so much, and you just gave a peck!"
Sienna slipped off him and was about to leave, Adrian rose as well, "Where are you going?"
"Of course, I need to send more people to keep an eye on lanie Carpenter. Since I’ve let my man sacrifice his beauty, if we don’t catch the mastermind, I’d be at a loss."
"I’ve got people watching her."
Sienna had only Lucas Robertson to rely on, naturally not as many people as Adrian had, so since Adrian said so, she did not continue to intervene.
"Then make sure you keep a close watch."
"Watching closely."
Adrian’s phone suddenly rang; it was Aaron Faber calling. Adrian answered, "Hello..."
"Sixth Master, Miss Carpenter made a phone call with soone, I’m eavesdropping on her call, I’ll send you the recording."
"Alright."
Adrian pulled Sienna back to the sofa, letting her sit on his lap, turned on the speaker, and played the recording Aaron sent over.
...
"...That drug ran out, you want to get more. When are you free?" lanie Carpenter said excitedly.
"Tomorrow noon at 1, et by the fountain in Muse Square."
A man’s voice, though it was altered.
"Okay, I’ll be there on ti tomorrow."
"..."
"...Give more, I use it too quickly. It’s quite botherso to get it from you over and over."
"Okay."
"Didn’t you say last ti you cast a spell on Sienna Johnson’s bastard in her belly? Why isn’t her baby dead yet?"
lanie Carpenter said venomously, causing both Sienna and Adrian to shiver with fright.
"lanie Carpenter!" Adrian said through gritted teeth.
Bastard?
Their baby, considered their treasure, was actually called a bastard.
"Calm down!"
"I can’t calm down!"
lanie continued, "...I don’t care what thod you use, I want the bastard in Sienna’s belly not to survive, best if it’s born a stillborn! Haha... At that ti, that vile woman Sienna, wouldn’t she be heartbroken to death.
End up heartbroken and dead!"
Adrian lifted Sienna off his legs and was about to confront lanie. Sienna was angry and furious too, but at this point, they were so close to catching that "mastermind," how could they throw it all away?
"Adrian!"
Adrian had already reached the study door, and in a panic, Sienna held her stomach and wailed in pain.
"Adrian, don’t go, my stomach..."
"Stomachache? How painful? Is it ti?" Adrian rushed to Sienna’s side, helping her, nervously looking at her belly.
It’s only eight months; there are still two months before the baby is due.
"Could it be the spell actually worked?"
Adrian, having traveled in Southeast Agaia, naturally heard of Cagalanga’s spells. He didn’t believe it before, but...
"Fooled you!"
Adrian yelled, "How can you joke about such things? When did you beco so irresponsible?"
Sienna held his hand and gently shook it, "Co on, don’t be mad. I was desperate, what could I do?"
"..."
"Now, at this point, if you really go confront lanie Carpenter, you might be satisfied, but then what?"
"..."
"If we can’t find the mastermind who poisoned you, could they poison you or again through soone else?"
