The man did not struggle, let her scold, but a bad smile said, “Girl, do you know that you do not wear clothes to spill the look, really … very hooked?!”
So saying, Adriana dawned on her, glanced down at herself, and immediately lay down on the bed.
Yelling, “Get out, Peter, you don’t make me hate you!”
The man’s smiling face instantly stiffened a few points, and his deep pupils flashed a little despondency, “You hate me that much? Adriana, are you just saying what you think, or are you … not willing to face the truth?”
The woman’s back was to Peter, her eyes open, listening to his words only to feel a burst of sourness welling up in her chest.
“Helen and Luis cry every day to see you, and you’re so cruel as to not want to see them? The child is innocent.”
I have to say, children are Adriana’s weakness.
Even though she was distrustful of Peter and wanted to reject him, her cold, hard, stone-like heart softened at the mention of the child.
Feeling her anger fade, he reached around her waist and belly and rested his cheek on the nape of her neck, “Be good, come back with me, okay? You’re the head of the family, and without you, it wouldn’t be a home at all.”
“Really? But I’ve never called it home.”
Adriana closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, her eyes were clear and cold.
At these words, Peter’s body stiffened, as if he had lost his patience, “Adriana, is your heart made of stone? What exactly do you want from me before you will come back with me?”
“You are you and I am me. The only thing between us is the child. You are the father, I am the mother, but initially it was only a contract that brought them into existence.”
Adriana got up, no longer blushing because she was not wearing any clothes, and walked boldly to the closet and found a nightgown to change into.
Go to the bathroom, wash up, walk out, and find the man-child room sitting.
The body is covered with his own clothes, there are no longer any stains on it, it seems that he woke up last night and has washed and dried his clothes.
Adriana couldn’t help but wonder to herself if she was a pig, sleeping so deeply that she knew nothing of the many things he did.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
She asked with a cold face.
Closed the bathroom door, walked straight to the closet, opened it, found a set of clothes and went back to the bathroom again to change.
Walking out again, Peter was no longer in the room.
Adriana’s tense nerves slackened, without the pretence of coldness just now, only a decadent sadness.
It’s a good thing Peter had the good sense to leave, otherwise, she really didn’t know where to go later.
Without a job, she was a hobo, and it was still too early to go anywhere.
He walked lazily to the bed and lay down, looking at the ceiling in annoyance, his mind racing with thoughts of chaos.
Knock Knock-
After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the room door.
Adriana got up to answer the door and found that Peter had not left.
Not only that, he also had an extra apron on him, just like a little man in the kitchen, full of greasy hands, stained with some flour, and even that handsome as flour on his cheeks.
“You …”
“Knowing that your feet are not yet healed, I made you breakfast. Let’s eat.”
He pushed the door open and took Adriana’s hand.
Adriana, immersed in amazement, sat in her chair as if she were a controlled puppet.
“Egg rolls, buns, clear congee and small dishes. I see you only have these things in the fridge, so I’ll make it, you try it?”
Peter pushed something in front of her.
The sudden tenderness made Adriana sniffle, speechless and somewhat touched.
For many years, she had dreamed of such a man willing to prepare breakfast for her and give her endless tenderness.
And now happiness came unexpectedly, but she was afraid to accept it.
“What’s wrong?”
Peter sat across from her and looked at her with a dejected look and immediately said, “These are made according to Google, I don’t know if they are good or not, you try them.”
At this moment, no matter how angry Adriana is with Peter, she can’t give him a cold face.
She is not a person who holds grudges, she is just in a complex environment and doesn’t know who to trust.
To Peter, there is love and love and defensiveness, and all kinds of things mixed in, so that their feelings are no longer pure, and there is no way to accept with pure emotion.
“Thanks.”
After a long time of silence, Adriana picked up the chopsticks and picked up the egg roll, took a bite, the strong flavor of eggs mixed with the taste of vegetables came to the surface, the taste … really unique.
“Is it good?”
Peter moved a few minutes closer, like a child, with a face full of anticipation.
“Delicious.”
She replied stiffly.
“That’s good, eat a little more.”
Pushing a stream of stuff down in front of her with a flattering smile.
“I can’t eat it all, you eat some too.”
Adriana finally dropped her icy attitude, picked up her chopsticks and handed them to him, and pushed another egg roll in front of him.
In the face of his tenderness, Adriana in the end is unable to do to ignore it, or indifferent attitude.
“No, I’m not hungry.”
Peter sat across from her and kept looking at Adriana, his face smiling and silent.
Adriana, who was a little unnerved by his hot gaze, frowned and looked up at him, “How can I eat when you’re always staring at me like that?”
“You’re my woman, if I don’t see you, who do I see?”
“You … who is your woman? I’m not even in love with you, don’t talk nonsense.”
“Then …” Peter said, looking at the bottle of fake rose arrangement on her dining table, he took it out, held it in his hand and walked to her side and knelt down on one knee, “Beautiful Ms. Hale, can you give me a opportunity to be my girlfriend, okay?”
Adriana: “…”
Stunned, looking at him sideways, she couldn’t help but smile, “Is it a bit too perfunctory to pursue your girlfriend like that?”
Adriana was amused by the way he looked.
Peter seems to have never been so proactive with a woman, listening to her, looking down at the fake flowers in his hand, his face sunken with indescribable embarrassment.
Even …
Look carefully, the handsome and peerless face are permeated with a little imperceptible scarlet, seems to be some blushing.
“So, if I give you a grand, the way you want to be courted, you’ll say yes?”
He jerked his eyes up and a starburst flashed under his eyes.
The smile on Adriana’s face was instantly curtailed as she thought about what he had done with Theresa this morning and couldn’t help but ask, “Who did you drink with yesterday?”
“Edward and Zac.”
“You’re lying!”
Adriana grimaced, somewhat unhappy.
“You don’t believe me?”
Peter frowned, perhaps too much desire to live, he ghosted out his cell phone and dialed a call.
“What are you doing?”
She leaned over, glanced at the phone screen, and found that he was actually calling Edward.
