Chapter 1092: Chapter 1032: I’m Pursuing You
"How could I bear to throw away something you gave me?" There was something extremely suggestive in Noah Phillips’ tone.
If Sienna Johnson couldn’t pick up on the hint in his voice, she would have to be a fool.
"It’s just a bunch of junk that only a child would treasure. Even my daughter doesn’t look at it. You don’t need to be like this."
Sienna Johnson frowned and casually pulled a lotus flower from the vase, playing with it.
"As long as it’s something of yours, even junk is a treasure to me, and I will cherish it well."
Sienna Johnson slammed the lotus flower down on the table, tearing apart the veil of ambiguity, and asked, "Noah, what exactly are you trying to do by saying these things to me?"
"I’m pursuing you!"
Sienna was straightforward, but unexpectedly, Noah was even more straightforward!
"I have a husband and a child already! I have no intention of having an affair. Noah, if you still want to be friends with me, don’t push me."
Noah laughed, "Is it wrong to like someone?"
"Pursuing me is the wrong thing to do!"
"I can’t help it; I’ve just fallen in love with you." Noah’s tone carried a hint of helplessness, as if falling for Sienna was such a natural and inevitable thing.
"Noah, your behavior is making things difficult for me."
"You don’t need to feel troubled. I just want you to know I’m better than Adrian Desmond!"
Sienna didn’t know how to talk to Noah anymore. The current Noah felt incredibly unfamiliar. He used to be like a refined jade, gentle and polite. Conversations with him were like a spring breeze, never this overbearing.
"Noah, there are many flowers in the garden. Roses are beautiful, peonies are noble, orchids are serene, and daisies are simple and cute... Choosing a lover is like picking a flower from the garden. The rose, although beautiful, lacks the serenity of the orchid; the daisy, though ordinary and cute, doesn’t have the grandeur of the peony.
You’re never going to find the perfect partner.
I don’t want a perfect partner either.
Adrian has many flaws, Adrian also has many strengths. We’re very happy now, and I don’t want to be ungrateful, searching for something more while having everything I need!"
The more Sienna spoke, the more agitated she became, until she finally ended the call, exasperated.
Fortunately, Noah didn’t call back. Sienna ran a hand through her hair, frowning as she looked at an invitation letter in front of her.
With Noah acting like this, Sienna was really afraid to go.
"Time is terrifying; people change..."
Sienna’s finger pads caressed the letter’s paper, spotting her younger self’s childish handwriting expressing a small wish: I want a family, to have a husband who loves me very much, and a pair of very cute babies...
Raising her eyes, she looked at the four-person family photo on the table and smiled.
"I want a family, to have a husband who loves me very much, and a pair of very cute babies..."
"..."
"Dreams have come true."
Sienna suddenly wanted to take Adrian to the orphanage she stayed at, and this thought flashed through her mind, making her think of a perfect solution.
The invitation didn’t say she couldn’t bring family, so she could take Adrian with her.
With Adrian there, would Noah still dare to act recklessly?
Sienna immediately dialed Adrian’s number, which was eventually picked up with apparent reluctance.
"Adrian, on November 17th, my old orphanage is having a gathering, come with me."
"No time!"
No time? Haha, Sienna didn’t insist, just said, "Oh, never mind. Back then, lots of boys wanted to marry me, not sure if they still like me?"
Adrian was unsettled, "You were already flirting at such a young age."
Adrian’s words really provoked her, and if Sienna didn’t have a big heart, she could be angered to death by him.
Flirting around, is that how you talk about your wife?
"Everybody’s in glass houses, no one should throw stones. Adrian, you have plenty of admirers, I bet.
What did you do recently? That person who was sending me pictures of your childhood sweetheart hasn’t sent anything since."
"I’ve already told you, she’s just a friend! I see her as a sister, don’t accuse us wrongly."
How could it be just friendship? Sienna wasn’t an idiot, it was obvious Adrian’s gaze towards that little girl wasn’t quite right.
"Sienna, why aren’t you speaking?"
"When you held her and cried, I really couldn’t convince myself you were just ordinary friends. Adrian, you are so cold-blooded, aren’t you aware?"
"I didn’t cry!"
"Alright, then you were just tearing up, desperately holding back the tears..."
"Sienna Johnson!"
Sienna confessed, "I admit, I was jealous. Besides me, I don’t want there to be another woman in your heart."
"Laura was just a little girl. When she passed, she wasn’t even as old as Samara. I’m not into kids. I like beauties like you with a big chest, small waist, and long legs."
"Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Listening to Adrian, it seemed there was really nothing between him and Laura, and Sienna’s discomfort finally dissipated.
"Come with me to the gathering."
"Are you begging me?"
"Fine, I’m begging you. Sixth Master, please honor me by accompanying me to the reunion, I beg you."
The steps were laid out, and if Adrian didn’t follow, he would just be making things hard for himself.
"Alright, I’ll come back a day early."
"Thank you, Sixth Master."
"Speak properly!" Adrian didn’t like her calling him "Sixth Master," that was for others to call him.
"Adrian, thank you." It’s really solved a big problem for her.
"I remember last time you didn’t want to attend your high school reunion, why are you willing to this time?"
"It’s different. I didn’t get along well with my high school classmates, what would I go there for?
Those people, each one super wealthy or high-ranking, going was just comparing social standing, looks, husbands, wives, who earns more, who’s a big official... It’s extremely tedious."
"And your orphanage friends, they don’t compare?"
"I don’t know what they’re like now, but back then, everyone got along well." Since they had no parents, they were like brothers and sisters.
"Those you like, I’ll try to like as well."
Sienna’s heart warmed, and she laughed, "Knowing I’ve married such a handsome and considerate husband, they’ll definitely envy me."
This pleased Adrian, dispelling the small awkwardness in his heart, "That day, I’ll dress handsomely, make them all envious of you."
"Don’t be too handsome."
"Why?"
"I’m afraid if you’re too handsome, someone might steal you away."
Adrian laughed heartily, "I’m allured by you, my heart only has you, and no other woman can catch my eye."
"Smooth talker." Sienna smiled with pressed lips.
