The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

Chapter 1041 - 988: Curly’s Rewards and Recognition

Sienna Johnson glanced at Adrian Desmond but didn’t respond.

She looked at the children on the playground, coddled and cherished by their parents, and couldn’t help but think of her own childhood.

The misery brought on by a fractured childhood is a wound that can never heal. Therefore, Adrian could never understand why she so desperately wanted to have children.

She wanted to have several children connected to her through blood to prove that she’s not alone in the world.

"Mom, it’s our turn to go on stage to receive the award." Curly shook her mom’s arm and said excitedly.

Sienna’s thoughts were interrupted. She withdrew her gaze and looked at her daughter.

Her daughter’s smile was radiant, with no shadows in her eyes. Sienna thought: Fortunately, all the things she didn’t have, her daughter got.

"What are you thinking about again?" Adrian noticed something was wrong with her and stared at her, asking.

"Let’s go."

Adrian held their daughter with one arm and Sienna’s hand with the other as the two of them stepped onto the stage.

The principal of the kindergarten personally awarded the Johnson Family, first with a certificate, then a cash prize, and a robot.

"Congratulations on winning the award."

"Thank you."

Just as Sienna was about to step down, a national flag was being raised on the playground, and the national anthem began to play... It was just a kindergarten family fun sports day, why did it feel like they had won an Olympic gold medal?

Isn’t this a bit too much?

Nevertheless, when the national anthem played, Sienna still looked earnestly at the flag being raised, listening to the stirring melody.

Curly also stood up straight, singing the national anthem with her mouth.

Only Adrian, this foreigner, didn’t have any particular feelings.

...

At the Johnson Family,

Curly got the first place as she wished, was particularly happy, and ate a big bowl of rice for dinner.

After dinner, Curly began to distribute rewards.

"Mom, this is your 15 dollars bonus, Dad, 60 dollars is for you. George, 1 dollar and 50 cents is your service fee."

George didn’t mind, took the 1 dollar and 50 cents, and carefully put it away.

"Jayce Johnson, didn’t you say that if we won a prize, I’d get half? Why am I only getting 15 dollars?" Sienna asked.

"Yes, half for you both, you and Dad get a total of half. As for why you only got 15 dollars and Dad got 60, it’s because your performance wasn’t as good as Dad’s?

If you don’t work hard, you don’t get money. Mom, if you want to get more next time, you’d better work hard."

Sienna: ...

"Little Monster, this is your gift. Look, it’s awesome, it can dance."

Curly turned on the switch, and a robot started dancing to the tune of South River style on the table, the melody of the dance easily got one excited, Sheehan stared at the dancing robot for a long time, then began wriggling his little body in Sienna’s arms.

"Son, don’t sway around, your bones haven’t grown well yet."

Sienna was really afraid he might sway his neck off, holding his head to stop him.

"Little Monster likes it a lot."

"Ah..." Sheehan reached his hand to grab the robot, Sienna turned off the switch, handed the robot to Sheehan, who grasped the big robot, both touching and nibbling on it, clearly liking it a lot.

Curly yawned, looking sleepy, Sienna said, "You’ve got a bad sweat today, take a shower before you sleep, did you hear that?"

"Oh."

Thinking about her daughter’s lazy nature, Sienna knew that if she didn’t supervise her, she certainly wouldn’t bathe.

Sienna handed her son to Adrian, took Curly’s hand, and led her back to the room.

On the way, Curly acted coy, "Mom, carry me, I’m so tired, I can’t walk anymore."

"You’re so heavy, Mom can’t carry you."

"Mom, try your best to carry me."

Sienna thought of how the little girl was running and jumping during the day, knowing she must be really tired, so she picked her up. Curly wrapped her arms around Sienna’s neck and said, "Mom, you smell so good."

"That’s because Mom showers diligently, unlike you, this wild girl, crazy every day, sweating all over, you smell of sweat."

Curly didn’t say a word, Sienna turned to look at her and realized the girl had already fallen asleep.

Sienna carried her back to the room. She was sweating, and her clothes were dirty, so Sienna forced her to take a shower and wash her hair.

"Your hair hasn’t dried yet, dry it before sleeping."

Curly lay on the bed, still wrapped in a bathrobe, motionless, Sienna called Adrian to come over to help.

Adrian had also taken a shower, his hair still wet. Coming in, seeing his daughter’s wet hair, he complained, "Sometimes you can be so annoying, would it kill you to skip one bath?"

"It’s too smelly, how can you sleep comfortably without bathing? Stop nagging, hold her while I blow dry her hair."

Adrian picked up Curly, who seemed boneless, if it weren’t for Adrian’s strength, it would be hard to hold her.

While Adrian was picking her up, her bath towel slipped, Adrian said, "Curly, you’re exposed! How embarrassing..."

Sienna slapped Adrian, "What are you talking about?"

"Then how should I say it?"

Adrian wrapped her again with the bath towel, holding her in his arms, while Sienna dried her hair.

"Mrs. Desmond, weren’t you captivated by the way I ran today?"

"Are you talking about the way you looked, drenched in sweat?" Sienna lifted her gaze, glanced at him, and asked.

"Isn’t a man exercising a handsome sight?"

"I prefer a man quietly listening to music or reading!"

"Sissy?"

"It’s better than a brute like you!"

Sienna finished drying Curly’s hair, dressed her in pajamas, and had Adrian lay her on the bed. Sienna then covered her with a blanket, and Curly turned over without waking up.

"Turn around, I’ll dry your hair."

Adrian suddenly gave Sienna a soft kiss on the lips and then laughed, "I may be rough, but you still love me to death."

"Yes, I love you to death."

Sienna ran her fingers through his hair, drying the half-wet strands, Adrian said, "I was very happy today. It was my first time participating in my daughter’s sports day. Though childish, it was quite fun."

"I also liked it."

This was an experience neither of them had before, especially for Sienna.

"Was your kindergarten sports day like this?"

"..."

"Why aren’t you answering me?"

Adrian didn’t get a response from Sienna, turned around, and saw Sienna looking displeased, "What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?"

"I never went to kindergarten. When Curly was in kindergarten, I was at the orphanage taking care of younger kids..."

Adrian looked at Curly, "Could you take care of little kids at your age?"

"Of course!"

Adrian suddenly hugged Sienna, rubbing his face against her head, "My poor little one."

Sienna particularly liked this posture, it gave her a sense of security more than a kiss could.

"I will love you well. I will make up for all the love you didn’t receive."

"Mm."
