Chapter 1316 - 1256: Be Good, I’ll Give You a Drumstick

"Do you still doubt my feelings for you?"

Adrian Desmond tore off the other chicken leg and placed it on Sienna Johnson’s plate.

"People’s hearts change easily. Who knows if you’ll love me forever... maybe when I get older, less pretty... or when you find someone better..." Sienna said half-jokingly.

"..."

"Hey, why did you take my chicken leg?"

Adrian snatched both chicken legs away and placed snake meat in front of her. "Mrs. Desmond, you’ve deeply hurt me. So, I think you’re unworthy of eating the laboriously cooked chicken legs."

"I was just talking nonsense; I still believe in you... Adrian, give it to me, I’m so hungry."

"Hungry? Is the little mouth above hungry, or the little mouth below?" Adrian teased.

"You’re awful!"

"Will you still dare to doubt me in the future? Hmm?" Adrian dangled the chicken leg, as if teasing a little greedy puppy.

"I won’t dare."

Adrian stuffed the chicken leg into Sienna’s open mouth and said, "Good girl, here’s your chicken leg."

Sienna Johnson: ...

...

Sienna was starving and ate half a chicken in one go. Adrian dared not let her continue, fearing she’d eat too much.

With her stomach satisfied, Sienna became lazy, resting her chin on her hand, watching Adrian eat snake meat as if he were chewing on duck neck.

"Don’t kiss me anymore," Sienna suddenly said.

Adrian looked up at her, asking, "Why?"

"Just thinking of you eating snake meat makes me nauseous."

Sienna has a visceral fear of snakes. Just thinking of their soft and slick texture makes her feel terrible.

"What’s the difference between eating chicken in your mouth and feeling nauseous?"

"I find you disgusting, and you find me disgusting. Perfect, we won’t kiss anymore."

Adrian spat out the snake meat, grabbed the back of her head, and kissed her. Sienna struggled, shaking her head desperately, but Adrian’s arm was strong, and she couldn’t shake him off.

"Do you still dare say I’m disgusting?" After the kiss ended, Adrian asked.

With the kiss lasting so long, when they separated, a silver thread was drawn out... making hearts race with embarrassment.

Sienna panted heavily, feeling if Adrian didn’t let go, she would suffocate.

"So disgusting!" She wiped her lips to get rid of the silver thread.

"Who said so? Try kissing again... I somehow find your little mouth particularly delicious."

"Adrian, I really want to slap you."

"Anywhere else, you can hit or pinch as you please. Dare to hit my face, I’ll make sure you pay..." Adrian is a man concerned about his face, absolutely not tolerating being slapped by a woman.

Sienna disregarded her shame, pinching the most fragile part of Adrian, twisting 180 degrees clockwise...

"Ah..." Adrian moaned, unable to endure the unbearable pain.

"Let’s see if you dare mess around next time."

Adrian looked at Sienna with a painful expression, saying, "You’ve become bolder, daring to pinch me there. Aren’t you afraid of damaging it so you can’t use it anymore?"

"I already have four kids, what use is there for that thing?" Sienna let go, clapping her hands, perfectly indifferent.

"You don’t care about me now that you have four kids, is that it?"

Sienna rested her chin, eyebrows delicate as a painting, smiling faintly at him, like distant mountains.

"As women get older, that aspect of demand increases. Just you wait, I’ll leave you wanting, and I won’t help." Adrian threatened fiercely.

"Alright, I’ll be waiting." Sienna said unflinchingly, infuriating Adrian to the point he lost his appetite for snake meat.

...

After the meal, Adrian wanted to go up and check things out. Sienna clung to Adrian, refusing to let him go.

The saying goes, two fists can’t overpower four hands. With so many people around Night Owl, if Adrian is exposed and discovered, facing Night Owl’s men head-on, he’ll surely suffer.

"My arms and legs still hurt, stay here and accompany me." Sienna found an excuse just to keep Adrian from leaving.

"I must go check it out!" Adrian never liked to sit idly by.

"Didn’t you say we’d wait until we got to Kalare to deal with Night Owl? Let’s wait a little longer, and talk when we reach Kalare."

"But Night Owl isn’t leaving."

"..."

"I must go out and have a look. If Night Owl doesn’t leave, and we keep dragging this out, sooner or later we’ll both be discovered. If Night Owl finds us hiding here, we’ll be put at a disadvantage."

Unable to argue against Adrian, Sienna only urged Adrian to be careful.

"Got it, be good and don’t go out!"

"Mhm, I won’t go anywhere, just wait here for you to return soon."

"Okay."

Adrian left the basement.

In his teenage years, Adrian lived on this small island for two years, so he is more familiar with its terrain than Night Owl and their group.

It started raining again. The sea roared, the waves howling, and the rain grew heavier.

The moment Adrian stepped out, he was drenched through by the rain in no time.

Such weather is quite suitable for investigations, as rain washes away all traces and hides scents.

From afar, Adrian saw Night Owl and his people hiding in a cave he and Sienna had stayed in earlier. Rain fell, creating a curtain at the cave entrance.

Thankfully, Adrian had been cautious and cleaned the cave of traces of human activity after bringing Sienna to the basement.

Adrian observed quietly for a while, then turned and left silently.

He reached the coast and discovered a yacht.

Shadows moved on the yacht; Adrian recognized it as Night Owl’s yacht.

Standing behind a massive rock, Adrian watched the ship with dark eyes for a while, then gradually approached.

His body submerged underwater, taking a deep breath, diving toward the ship. As he got closer, he slowly surfaced and quietly boarded.

Due to the heavy rain, no one was on the deck.

"Aren’t we supposed to go to Kalare? Why hasn’t the boss returned yet?"

"Isn’t it because of Sienna Johnson."

"What’s to find? That night, such a huge storm, a frail woman without a life ring must have sunk and drowned in the sea..."

"Definitely, that woman was injured too."

"Why doesn’t Li try to persuade the boss?"

"The boss is obsessed with Sienna Johnson. Who dares to tell the boss she drowned? Whoever dares, the boss would blow their head off."

"Yeah, such things, the boss would actually do."

Adrian glimpsed through the glass, seeing five adult men talking together inside.
