Sienna Johnson clenched the hand she had placed on the table, feeling a bit upset inside.

"Sienna is about to give birth. If you go back to Abyanabad, what will happen when Sienna delivers?"

The elderly lady, being superstitious due to her age, said, "...This child wasn’t easy to conceive. When the baby is being born, you need to help support her. I’m afraid Sienna won’t be able to manage on her own."

"I’ll definitely be back when she’s giving birth," Adrian Desmond promised.

Pauline Briggs said, "Can’t you put the business on hold temporarily? Why are you both working so hard to make money? You earn so much, and there’s no end to it."

"We plan to have many children, so of course, he needs to earn more. Otherwise, it won’t be enough to support them all," Sienna Johnson chimed in.

"..."

"We should at least have ten kids."

This made the elderly lady happy, "The more kids, the better. Our family can afford it. You and Adrian are both good-looking, so the children will definitely be as beautiful and smart as Curly."

Adrian didn’t think the same at all.

After having their son, he didn’t plan on letting Sienna have more children. It’s too exhausting for her and for him, so why go through it?

"Once you give birth, I’ll take care of them. You two can focus on the business," Pauline Briggs said.

Pauline was skillful and had made a bunch of small clothes for the baby, and even knitted many soft-soled shoes.

"Sister, I can help you with the baby too."

"You’ll be going to high school next year, right? Focus on your studies," Sienna Johnson advised.

Samara smiled, "Although my grades aren’t as good as yours, Sister, getting into Sileria City University won’t be a problem."

It was a unanimous decision for her to attend university locally.

Samara was completely different from Sienna Johnson in temperament. The family didn’t feel comfortable letting her go to university elsewhere, but fortunately, Samara was obedient.

"Brother-in-law, I’m also attending university in Sileria City. They say university work is easy and there’s a lot of free time. My sister doesn’t allow me to work part-time. I can help look after the kids. You can have more; Mom can take one, and I can take one."

Adrian looked at Samara and then at the rest of the Johnson Family, really wanting to tell them that he didn’t want any more children at all.

"Samara will be in university. She’ll be dating, so how can she have time to take care of kids?" Adrian said.

"University romances always end after graduation, so I’m not going to date. After I graduate, I’ll let the family introduce a few prospects. If suitable, I’ll marry directly."

Pauline Briggs also said, "You’re too gullible, so don’t go looking yourself. If you meet someone you like in university, let your sister and brother-in-law check them out for you. There are too many bad men nowadays. You’re pretty and easily deceived. They don’t even need to try hard to fool someone like you."

"I understand, Mom."

Adrian had to admit, his sister-in-law was truly obedient. If his daughter were half as obedient, he wouldn’t have so many gray hairs.

Curly interjected, "I want to find my boyfriend myself. No one is allowed to interfere in the future!"

The elderly lady said, "With your temperament, we wouldn’t dare to find one for you."

Pauline Briggs also added, "You’re not like your aunt; you never get taken advantage of. We’re very at ease."

Sienna Johnson responded, "With a dad like Adrian, what harm could come to his daughter? As long as she doesn’t bully others, that’s good enough."

"What about my daughter?"

Adrian was unhappy that everyone was making his daughter out to be like some kind of tyrant.

"Dad, we’re tight, we won’t mind Mom."

"Whatever you do, Dad will always be on your side."

Father and daughter looked at each other with sly smiles, plotting something unknown.

...

The trip to Blackwood, at this stage in her pregnancy, Sienna Johnson really shouldn’t be traveling, but since it involved the Rafael Family and Rose Collins, she had to personally intervene.

Adrian came alone this time, leaving Brandon Potter in Abyanabad, and Adrian had instructed them to handle many matters.

"Madam, would you like to rest a bit?" Sally noticed that Sienna Johnson didn’t look well and asked.

Adrian slowly pulled the car over to the roadside, turning to look at Sienna Johnson in the backseat, indeed seeing her pale face.

"What’s wrong?"

"I feel a bit nauseous."

"Let’s rest for a while before moving on."

The outside temperature was very high, and even looking through the car glass, you could see the heat waves rising from the ground.

Adrian turned the air conditioning up high, but Sienna Johnson still wrapped herself in a shawl while sitting in the car.

"Madam, have some plum juice."

"Thank you."

"I told you not to come, but you insisted. See, now you’re suffering." Adrian moved from the driver seat to the spacious back seat, sitting next to Sienna Johnson.

To make Sienna Johnson comfortable, they took a business car with lots of space, bringing plenty of fruits and snacks.

"This issue, only I can handle it personally."

If it were anyone else, Sienna Johnson would have already told them to get lost, but this involved Marvin Rafael and her adoptive mother, Rose Collins.

She only hoped that the matter could be resolved satisfactorily without harming relationships.

"This year’s weather is so hot, it’s bound to affect the cultivation of medicinal herbs. I’m afraid there will be a reduction in output this year," Sienna Johnson said worriedly.

"However much you lose, I’ll make it up to you, okay?"

"I don’t need it!"

In terms of emotions, she would act coy with Adrian and rely on him, but in business, Sienna Johnson refused to overly depend on Adrian.

She hoped to build up the Eastminster Group on her own, so her father in the heavens could be proud of her.

"Showing off won’t do you any good."

"Business is business; I can’t rely on you too much... I know the Eastminster Group means nothing to you, but it’s my father’s legacy..."

With a bang...

Adrian and Sally, both very alert, immediately grabbed their guns, the sound of bullets being loaded following the click.

"What’s happened?"
