The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 703 - 744: Now Turned into a Big White Goose
His eyes shifted downward, landing on her belly. Adrian truly couldn’t wait for their son to be born.
He couldn’t stand it, this feeling of only being able to caress her belly each day, like having a delicious morsel he couldn’t yet devour.
Paige Desmond brought over a royal blue velvet heart-shaped jewelry box and handed it to Adrian Desmond, saying, "Brother, this is from Mom for your wife!"
"What?" Adrian Desmond was also surprised.
"Open it up and find out."
Adrian Desmond opened it, and his eyes immediately lit up, then dimmed. Sienna Johnson heard it was for her and was curious about what it was, but the lid of the jewelry box blocked her view, so she couldn’t see anything.
"You still have it. I’d almost forgotten about this necklace."
Adrian Desmond stood up and took out an emerald necklace from the jewelry box, walking toward Sienna Johnson.
When Sienna Johnson saw the necklace, her eyes flashed with amazement. It was truly beautiful.
This luxurious and exquisite necklace was composed of eight round green emeralds, surrounded by white diamonds. Its most distinctive feature was the two white diamond pendants dangling at the front.
"This was my mother’s favorite necklace." Adrian Desmond personally put it on her; her fair skin perfectly complemented the vibrant green of the emeralds.
"I won’t wear it." Sienna Johnson was a bit embarrassed. Hadn’t he told her not to borrow jewelry from Paige Desmond? What was this supposed to mean?
"This necklace was originally yours."
"But isn’t this what your mother left for Paige Desmond? How can it be for me..." Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian Desmond with dissatisfaction, feeling awkward.
No matter what, the necklace had already been given to Paige Desmond. To ask for it back now would be strange.
Anyway, she didn’t want to be the kind of sister-in-law who coveted her younger sister-in-law’s jewelry.
Paige Desmond laughed. "This necklace was left by Mom for my future sister-in-law. Since you’re my Sister-in-law, of course, it’s for you. Back then, I almost gave this necklace to Melanie Carpenter..."
Having mentioned Melanie Carpenter’s name, Paige Desmond realized she had misspoken. "I’m sorry..."
Adrian Desmond didn’t mind. "This shows that this necklace has always belonged to you! Sooner or later, it would be yours!"
"You also belong to me!"
"Of course!"
Adrian Desmond personally placed the necklace on her. Gazing at the vibrant green against her fair skin, his eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yes, it’s beautiful."
Unlike other women who preferred diamonds, she had a fondness for jade, especially green emeralds. However, emeralds were expensive, far beyond what she could afford.
Paige Desmond said, "Mom has excellent taste. This necklace looks like it was made specifically for you, Sister-in-law."
Sienna Johnson felt a little embarrassed, as if she had taken something that belonged to Paige Desmond. "Are you sure it’s okay to give it to me? If you like it, I’ll return it to you after the birthday party. I have plenty of jewelry, but I didn’t bring any with me. Besides, I don’t usually like wearing jewelry..."
"I already told you, Mom left it for her future daughter-in-law. If you mention returning it to me again, I’ll really get upset! If, one day, you decide you no longer want to be my brother’s wife, then you can give it back to me!"
"How dare she!" Adrian Desmond was not happy to hear this assumption.
Paige Desmond looked at her brother and laughed. "Brother, if you’re so fierce, you might scare Sister-in-law away."
"Even if she runs to the ends of the earth, I’ll drag her back!" With that fierce look in his eyes, Sienna Johnson could vividly imagine her fate if this man ever had to drag her back.
Adrian Desmond knew what was bothering her, so he said, "Wear it! I’ll give Paige Desmond a necklace of equal value."
It was only then that Sienna Johnson felt at ease wearing the necklace.
"Thank you, I really like it. I’ll cherish this necklace and pass it on to your son’s wife in the future."
Sienna Johnson treated this necklace as an heirloom of the Desmond Family, cherishing it.
Paige Desmond raised a practical question, "Sister-in-law, what if you have several sons?"
Sienna Johnson didn’t consider this a problem at all. "I’ll dismantle this necklace, keeping only one of the emeralds. Then, I’ll use other emeralds to create several identical necklaces."
"Sister-in-law, you’re amazing for thinking of that!"
"I plan to have three sons in the future!"
Adrian Desmond said, "When it comes to things like this, shouldn’t you ask the opinion of the person involved before making a decision?"
"Why do I need to ask you when it’s not you who’s giving birth?" Sienna Johnson touched her belly, smiling happily.
Adrian Desmond: ...
「 」
After meticulous preparations, they all left Desmond Manor to attend Elliot Carpenter’s birthday banquet.
This was Sienna Johnson’s first formal appearance in Abyanabad, and she was still a bit nervous.
In the car, Sienna Johnson looked at Adrian Desmond and explained, "I actually have social anxiety. Back then, I didn’t know anything, and Sabrina Johnson was always secretly setting me up to embarrass me. As a result, whenever I had to attend a banquet, I’d be unable to sleep for several nights beforehand. I would even have nightmares filled with all sorts of awkward situations, blunders, and utter humiliation..."
"I thought you were invincible."
"When I was little, I was an ugly duckling!"
"Now you’ve become a big white goose."
Sienna Johnson laughed. "Sixth Master, it’s ’white swan,’ not ’goose.’ Why does everything sound so tacky coming from your mouth?"
"Aren’t they the same?"
"They’re not the same!"
"Fine, congratulations on escaping Sabrina Johnson’s clutches and transforming from an ugly duckling into a white swan." Adrian Desmond glanced at Sienna Johnson and said contemptuously, "Just Sabrina Johnson, and you couldn’t handle her for all those years? You’re utterly useless!"
Adrian Desmond, by contrast, could have annihilated Sabrina Johnson in minutes!
"Sixth Master, I used to be just a delicate woman... Could you please not think of me as so formidable?"
"Delicate woman? You? HA! Are you kidding me?"
This woman was tougher than most men; he truly couldn’t imagine her being delicate, helpless, and bullied by others without fighting back.
"What do you mean? Are you calling me a shrew? A tigress?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
"Mrs. Desmond, looking at you right now, you really don’t seem delicate in the slightest..."
Sienna Johnson: ...
"But, I happen to like you as a shrew, a tigress... It’s more exciting that way, and so much more satisfying when we’re... together."
Sienna Johnson started hitting him. The driver in the front wasn’t their usual one and hadn’t yet adapted to the couple’s "flirtatious bickering." Seeing Sienna Johnson "assaulting" Sixth Master, his grip on the steering wheel slipped, and the car jolted. Luckily, he was a skilled driver; otherwise, there would have been trouble.
"That’ll teach you to talk nonsense!"
"You’re still hitting..."
SMACK! Sienna Johnson slapped Adrian Desmond again. He got annoyed. "You’re really hitting me?"
"You’re practically offering yourself up for a beating, so why wouldn’t I hit you?"
"Stop!"
"Still going to talk nonsense?"
"How was I talking nonsense? I just like your fierceness in bed..."
