lly’s conditions are quite impressive, Marvin Rafael isn’t really a match for her.
Sally hung her head, saying nothing.
"Sally, maybe you don’t have to say it outright; help test the waters with lly, see if she’s interested?"
The more Sienna Johnson thought about it, the more she felt that it would be better to find her silly brother a smart wife.
Sally, straightforward as always and never one to beat around the bush, spoke up when she saw Sienna wanted to introduce Marvin Rafael to lly, "Madam, I’ve taken a liking to your brother; you can’t introduce him to lly!"
Sienna looked at Sally, shocked, "Sally, are you serious?"
"Yes!"
"What on earth is good about my brother?"
She was still fretting over the type of wife to find for him, and here soone showed up voluntarily.
"Kind, dutiful, obedient... easy to bully... silly, dumb!"
Sienna Johnson: ...
"Madam, after a while, please talk to him for . If he doesn’t like , you should force him to marry . He listens to you; if you say it, he will definitely marry ," Sally said.
If it weren’t for knowing Marvin Rafael had just gotten divorced and wasn’t in the mood, Sally would have asked Sienna to bring it up right then.
"Are you sure you really love my brother?"
"I don’t know what love is, but if I’m going to get married, I want to marry Marvin Rafael," Sally said seriously.
"Well, I think you should spend so more ti with my brother. Marriage is a lifelong commitnt, not to be taken lightly," Sienna advised.
"Okay, I’ll listen to Madam," Sally said with a sly smile, "I’ve taken a liking to Marvin Rafael, so please don’t introduce him to any other woman."
"..."
"Oh, by the way, lly actually has soone she likes," Sally pondered for a bit and then spoke.
"Who?"
"That short guy, Reggie Dewey."
Sienna Johnson: ...
"lly kept asking you to introduce her to Orienta n, but what she really wanted was for you to introduce her to Reggie Dewey."
lly is always like this, wanting sothing and taking a roundabout way to get it, never letting anyone guess her true intentions."
"..."
"Madam, this gold bar is from lly," Sally pulled out a cloth-wrapped gold bar and placed it in Sienna Johnson’s hand.
"What’s this?"
"lly said: ’Taking soone’s money to relieve their disasters.’ I don’t quite understand what that ans. Seems like this is a reward for matchmaking services," Sally frowned and looked at Sienna seriously, asking,
"Madam, if you matchmake for , do I have to give you a gold bar too?"
Sienna Johnson: ...
"I don’t have gold bars; would diamonds do?"
Sienna Johnson: ...
...
"Madam, rember ’taking soone’s money to relieve their disasters’."
Before leaving, Sally said this.
On the bed lay a gold bar and a massive diamond.
"Why is everyone so rich? How much does Adrian Desmond actually pay them?"
lly and Sally work as servants and bodyguards, yet they’re casually handing out gold bars and diamonds; Sally just gave a diamond like she was handing over a stone."
"Why is everyone into Orienta n? There are plenty of scumbags among Orienta n."
Having finished a bowl of bird’s nest porridge, Sienna Johnson was not in the best of moods; she really didn’t want to play matchmaker.
"Ugh..."
Sienna Johnson still dialed Adrian Desmond’s number.
The call wouldn’t connect, and as it was already eleven o’clock, Sienna thought Adrian might be asleep. As she was about to hang up, the call suddenly went through.
"Sienna?" Adrian’s breath was unsteady, as if he’d just run a long marathon.
"Why are you panting like that? Couldn’t be having a bed battle with your bevy of wives, could you?" Sienna quipped.
"Haha... there’s no such bevy. I’m at the Martial Arts Training Ground right now, having a sparring session with Sabrina and the others."
In reality, Sixth Master was upset and called Sabrina and Mila over for training; both were beaten into submission by Adrian.
"Are my lotus flowers still there?"
"They are. After yesterday’s rain, all the lotuses have blood; they’re beautiful. Shall I airfreight so lotuses back to you?"
"I was afraid Sixth Master had pulled them out."
"How could I? Those flowers were specially planted for you." Adrian’s attitude shifted quickly, quite the contrast to how he texts.
"Oh, goodbye."
"Hey, don’t hang up."
"Sixth Master, is there sothing else?" Sienna’s tone was aloof.
"I was wrong; I’ll apologize, okay?"
Adrian felt that at monts like this, a man’s pride wasn’t worth much.
"I won’t accept that!"
Adrian thought for a mont, expressing his sincerity, "From now on, I won’t touch you for a year, deal?"
"Really?"
Adrian fell silent.
"With things like this, Sixth Master can hardly control himself. When the ti cos, he’ll go back on his word..."
"Won’t touch, really won’t touch, just don’t ignore ," he said quietly.
Adrian, usually overbearing and intimidating, was suddenly so pitiful that Sienna couldn’t help but feel sorry for him.
In the bedroom, with Adrian excessively indulgent and diverse in desires, Sienna has always complied with him—even when it wasn’t to her liking she’d force herself to accompany him.
But she clearly inford him that her health couldn’t handle it at the mont, yet Adrian had disregarded her health and forced her anyway.
Sienna couldn’t accept Adrian’s behavior.
It made her feel that Adrian didn’t love her enough, only caring for his own comfort without considering her and the child’s health and safety.
"Fine, one year! If you don’t touch for a year, I’ll forgive you!"
Adrian fell into an even deeper silence.
