Adrian frowned at these words.
The image of his beloved Transformer being touched by his class bully came to mind, and a very uncomfortable feeling welled up inside him.
He didn’t like his favorite things being touched.
Hector saw the look on her face and let out a light laugh.
-You don’t like them touching your things either, or anyone else. That dress belongs to your sister who is coming home, and no one else should touch it freely, understand?
Adrian was speechless and pinched his little fingers for a while before raising his eyes to look at his mother.
-When my sister returns, will you be kind only to her and not to Diana?
Bianca’s face changed.
Given Adrian’s age, she shouldn’t have asked such a question. Diana had definitely said something in front of him.
A little upset in her heart, she looked at Adrian and told him the truth:
-We’ll be good with her, but we’ll be better with your real sister.
-Why?
Adrian’s face tightened as he asked anxiously, and in his eyes you could even see disbelief and anger.
Hector stared at his brother, with indifferent eyes.
-You know I’ve never liked Diana, so it’s only natural that I treat my own sister better than her. As for mother and father… -she said while smiling indifferently- Mom and Dad said clearly when they adopted Diana, that they already had a daughter, and they loved her very much. Diana knew this matter for a long time, she has no right to complain in front of you!
His tone was very unkind, Bianca looked at him helplessly and turned her head to look tenderly at Adrian.
-Even if your brother speaks badly, it’s the truth. We made it clear when we adopted Diana before. We love your sister very much, she was lost since she was two years old, and she has suffered a lot over many years. We will love her more in the future, even more than we love you, and I will make it clear to you beforehand, so don’t be jealous when your sister comes back.
Adrian was a little surprised and didn’t know what to do.
The sister his brother and mother were talking about sounded pathetic, but so did Diana. He really didn’t know what to do!
When Hector noticed her torn look, he couldn’t resist and pinched her little face with his fingers.
-People are impartial. My parents and I like your sister and love her more. If you like Diana better, then you can protect her, and we won’t interfere, as long as you don’t make a mess.
This was certainly a good idea, Adrian clenched his fist. Everyone liked the real sister, so he would go to protect Diana.
After making this decision, Adrian was still not happy.
He went to his room and opened his phone to look at the pictures on it. The picture showed the girl who looked so much like him smiling towards the camera.
Adrian reached over, touched her and bit his lower lip fiercely.
He was actually looking forward to his sister coming home, but things couldn’t be that perfect.
Downstairs, Hector watched Adrian return to his room before his eyes darkened.
-Mom, as you can see, Diana is dishonest and has deliberately provoked his relationship with Albina. Now that Albina has not yet returned, Adrian already feels resentment and hatred towards her.
Of course Bianca could see it, and her brow furrowed.
-Maybe Diana is just a little restless? I think we need to pick a time to talk to her. Even if we can’t treat her the same, we’ll treat her just as well as before. It’s not like we want to kick her out of the house either.
Hector used the action of drinking tea to hide the indifferent smile on his lips.
Bianca still thought too highly of Diana. She was uneasy because she feared Albina would come home and take what was hers, she could get nothing more if her status as an adopted daughter was revealed.
She even wanted to keep what originally belonged to Albina and wanted to replace her completely.
But as long as he was in the house, he would never allow this to happen.
At this moment, in the cafeteria.
Diana was holding a man’s arm, with a resigned expression and bloodshot eyes.
Her voice was sobbing and she made the appearance of being intimidated as she cried out:
-Javier, they treat me like this even before she returns. If she comes back, there will be no place for me in the Espina family, what am I supposed to do?
The person embraced by Diana was Javier, the eldest grandson of the Romero family, who had a marriage contract with the Espina family.
Javier was tall, slim, handsome and had a good temperament, so he was material to attract the girl.
His parents often took him to the Espina family when he was a child. He was polite and handsome. At that time, Albina was not yet one year old. Grandmother liked him very much, so after meeting with him a few times, she fixed the marriage contract between the two families.
The marriage contract was later cancelled due to Albina’s disappearance, but when Diana appeared, they loved each other and the contract was renewed.
Of course, although the Romero family knew of Albina’s loss, they did not make it public. After all, the title of daughter of the Espina family and adopted daughter were not the same thing.
-I’m really scared, if the others knew that I was the adopted daughter of the Espina family, they would definitely make fun of me.
Diana said, looking at Javier with pity and concern.
-I’m fine, but I’m afraid they will make fun of you and the Romero family. It is better that we break up, she will be back in two days, you can marry her so no one will make fun of you.
Although Diana said this, her tears were still flowing.
Javier was so distressed that he took Diana’s shoulder and comforted her gently.
-Don’t worry, the Espina family won’t throw you out, they’re not like that. In case they do kick you out, I will take you back to the Romero family and I won’t let you suffer.
Diana leaned against Javier’s chest, making a gesture of trusting him, but his brow furrowed tightly.
That was not the answer she wanted. She was mature enough to be able to be much more level-headed than most people.
Javier was too sentimental and naive. If she really was kicked out of the Espina family, even though Javier wanted her, the Romero family would not accept her.
In the past, the Romero family loved her only for the sake of the Espina family. Albina did not return home, then she was the daughter of the Espina family, even if she was an adopted daughter, there was still an interest in the existence of the relationship.
Without the Espina family, she would be nothing. The Romero family would not accept her even if she was good.
