Chapter 993 - 953: Noah Phillips Has a Fiancee Now
Henry Evans first noticed Noah Phillips. She nudged Sienna Johnson’s arm, whispering, "Your heartthrob is here..."
Adrian Desmond, with his sharp ears, overheard them. His cold gaze swept over, and Henry immediately shut her mouth, not daring to speak recklessly.
Adrian’s gaze quickly found the man in the crisp suit—the charming, once-upon-a-time Prince Charming in his wife’s eyes—Noah Phillips!
Why is he here?
"Did you invite him?" Adrian asked unhappily.
"No," replied Sienna, who also saw Noah. They actually hadn’t been in touch much, only exchanging holiday texts and calls.
Once, they were so close, relying on each other as their safe haven, but now they weren’t even as close as ordinary friends.
"I’ll go over and say hello."
Sienna had just taken a step when Adrian pulled her back, "You’re not allowed to go."
"Then come with me."
Adrian had no response. Holding his son, Adrian followed Sienna to meet his number one rival.
Frankly, after Sienna had given him two children, why did he still worry that she might leave?
In truth, Sienna’s little feelings for Noah had long since disappeared.
If it weren’t for Adrian, who was so petty, Sienna would have been just ordinary friends with Noah.
She was a rational woman who knew how to make choices that were best for herself and everyone else.
"What is this man doing here?" Adrian was full of hostility towards Noah. "He’s so thick-skinned, even without an invitation, he showed up at my son’s full-month celebration."
"If Noah had a son, I would have gone to see him too."
"Why would you go? To deliberately irk Noah’s wife?"
Sienna sighed sadly and said, "Do you not trust me that much?"
"I know you wouldn’t betray me. I just don’t like other men thinking about you."
"There are plenty of people thinking about me, and plenty thinking about you. Adrian, you shouldn’t let this get to you."
"Do you know what male animals do to rivals who covet their mates?"
"What do they do?"
"They bite them to death!"
Sienna: ...
Noah was still Noah. This time, Noah wasn’t alone—he was accompanied by a beautiful, gentle woman.
With a gentle look, Noah assessed Sienna and said, "You look very beautiful today."
"Thank you," Sienna smiled, her gaze straightforward, with no personal feelings.
Noah held the woman’s hand beside him and said, "Sienna, this is my fiancée, Hilda Potter."
Hilda extended her right hand to shake Sienna’s, affectionately saying, "Hello, I’m Hilda. Noah often mentions you to me."
Because she was Noah’s fiancee, Sienna took an extra glance at Hilda.
She wasn’t familiar with Hilda, but at first glance, Sienna felt quite fond of the woman in the knee-length, light purple, long-sleeved fitted dress, with not much jewelry yet very distinctive, her beautifully crafted appearance also charming.
"Hello, I’m Sienna Johnson. Thank you very much for coming to my grandmother’s 80th birthday and my son’s full-month celebration."
"It’s our honor," Hilda replied with a smile.
Noah said, "Your servant accepted the gift. Remember to open it later tonight."
"Thanks."
Hilda couldn’t take her eyes off the child in Adrian’s arms, asking, "Such a beautiful child, may I hold him?"
"Uh..."
Sienna was a little hesitant. It wasn’t that she didn’t want Hilda to hold the baby, but Sheehan was unhappy with strangers holding him.
Adrian said, "Sheehan recognizes people. Strangers aren’t allowed to hold him."
"I’m a kindergarten teacher, and I’m quite popular with the kids at kindergarten. I’ll give it a try and see if he lets me hold him."
A kindergarten teacher? Hilda’s profession surprised Sienna a bit. But given Noah’s character, it’s quite normal to find a kindergarten teacher.
Both she and Noah wanted to have a family, a gentle and considerate partner who could give them the feeling of home.
"Good boy, let Auntie hold you."
Hilda skillfully attempted to hold Sheehan, but as soon as she touched him, the little fellow seeing an unfamiliar face immediately protested and cried loudly.
As the child’s cries were heard, the people’s attention around them shifted, and Hilda showed some embarrassment.
Sienna quickly took her son and comforted him until he stopped crying, explaining, "He has a bad temper. Please don’t mind."
"I’m just very envious. I wonder when Noah and I could have such a beautiful child," Hilda said, and couldn’t help but shyly glance at Noah beside her.
Sienna said, "Soon enough. Look, I already have two kids."
Looking at Sienna, Hilda couldn’t tell she had given birth to two children.
Sienna’s figure was so well-maintained that she asked enviously, "When I’m pregnant, you must share your pregnancy experiences with me."
"..."
"Did you control your diet during pregnancy, which is why you maintained such a great figure?"
"No. I’m just not prone to gaining weight..." During her pregnancy, nothing was convenient, even if she wanted to, she couldn’t gain much weight.
Sally came over and said to Adrian, "Sixth Master, Dan Taylor and the others have arrived."
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Adrian’s friends had arrived, Sienna said, "Go greet your friends. I’ll leave the child with Sally and the nanny."
Although Noah had a fiancee, Adrian was still uneasy about leaving Sienna alone with Noah. It was clear that Noah’s thoughts weren’t on his fiancee.
He knew the look of someone in love, just like himself. As long as Sienna was present, he couldn’t see anyone else.
Even though Noah was trying hard to restrain his gaze, it was like he was watching Sienna the same way.
"Edward and the others have been wanting to see you and the child. Come, join me."
Adrian placed his hand on Sienna’s waist and said to Noah and Hilda, "There are too many guests today. Please enjoy yourselves."
With that, Adrian took Sienna and left.
Sienna really didn’t like Adrian’s group of friends, "Why should I go with you to meet your friends?"
"You went to see Noah, didn’t I follow you?"
"I never asked you to follow," she pointed out, knowing full well he insisted on joining her.
"Noah has a fiancee, does it make you feel bad?" Adrian asked.
A servant approached them, with a tray of drinks, Adrian took a drink and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Why would I feel bad? He has a fiancee now and his feelings have settled. I’m happy for him." Sienna added, "Honestly!"
"You’re clever enough to see that Noah doesn’t actually like Hilda. Can’t you see that?"
"Adrian, when it comes to emotions, only the person involved knows their true feelings. What we perceive might just be an illusion.
I believe Noah promised to marry Hilda. Even if the feelings aren’t deeply affectionate yet, at least Hilda is his preferred type, and he harbors feelings for her."
"..."
"Initially I didn’t like you either, but over time, didn’t I develop feelings for you?"
