At least now he is not so much as to go against his conscience.
“Alvin, get your ass up.”
Old Mr. Alston looked down at Alvin and ordered in a cold voice.
“Grandpa Alston, I won’t get up until you say yes.”
Alvin felt helpless, kneeling, but also just had to.
We can’t let the Adriana matter hurt the two families’ friendship, and weighing the pros and cons, we can only do so.
“Alvin, if you don’t get up again, do you believe I’ll kick you out?”
Edward was furious, as his good brother, and now for a mere woman, he put himself in such a humble position, this is crazy.
“Edward, we are brothers, and I have never begged you. This time, I hope you let Adri. i believe she is innocent. People live a life, people can not be too desperate, Adriana and Sloane’s matter is not yet clear what the situation is. You believe in Flora, I believe in Adriana, we might as well investigate the matter thoroughly, if in the end it is still Adriana’s doing, I am at your disposal.”
Alvin said so for two reasons.
For one thing, it can stall and give Peter more time, enough to wait until he wakes up, and then everything will be fine with Peter doing the honors for Adriana.
Secondly, he absolutely believes in the kind of person Adriana is, so he is sure that this matter has nothing to do with Adriana, so he is willing to bet with Edward to save Adriana.
“Impossible, delusions of grandeur.”
Edward pierced Alvin’s mind at once, “For Adriana, do you see that you still have a little backbone now?”
“Willingly!”
He gave four concise words.
Four words, very short, but with a lot of weight.
Old Mr. Alston watched Alvin grow up and knew Alvin’s character well, he hesitated for a moment and sighed, “Okay, I’ll give you three days, if after three days, you can’t find out the truth, don’t blame me for being unkind then.”
“Grandpa Alston, thank you.”
Although it was only three days, it was enough to move Alvin.
After all, with three days to spare, Peter could surely wake up and he could go investigate what happened on Orco Mount that day as soon as possible.
“Son, next time, if I see you like this again, the stick in my hand will be on you. There is gold at the knees of men, and you have disappointed me by giving up your dignity for a woman.”
With a disappointed look on his face, Old Mr. Alston shook his head, walked around Alvin and walked away.
Alvin got up, looked at the distant Old Mr. Alston, and said aloud, “Grandpa Alston, if you’ve ever really loved someone, you should know that you’ll do anything for her.”
“But that person, on the other hand, is not for you.”
Old Mr. Alston said without looking back.
His words, quite clearly, dislike Adriana’s identity.
In fact, Adriana alone in the hearts of Peter and Alvin is too much weight, and it is precisely this that makes Adriana a soft spot in the hearts of both Alvin and Peter.
As people who have become great, they are not allowed to have feelings, let alone give up everything for a woman.
Especially for Alvin, who is indifferent to everything, Adriana will be a lifelong robbery that he can’t let go of.
“Bastard!”
Edward punched Alvin in the shoulder blade, “For Adriana, are you crazy? Do you know Adriana’s status? She is Big Brother’s woman, how can you make Big Brother feel ashamed if you do this?”
His chest rose and fell in anger, so many years and Alvin did not have conflicts, today is the first time.
Alvin covered the location where he was hit painfully and drew back a breath, “Hiss, Edward, do you want to beat me to death?” He said, but the corners of his lips held a sunny smile, in a good mood, “I know all the things you said, and I know them well, no need for you to explain more.”
He walked to the wall, leaning, looking up at the ceiling, the smile on his cheeks more intense, “You know what? Big brother is very good to Adri, I look at it although a little envious, but I feel happy for Adri, they are good like that. I bless them.”
As long as Adriana is doing well, everything is fine.
“Waste!”
Edward gasped and stomped his foot on the bench in the hallway, clanging a sound, and his anger dissipated a lot.
“Adri and I are high school classmates, at that time, ignorant of feelings, is such a little girl into my vision, I do not know what emotions, but just like to be with her. Later I went abroad, only to know what emotion that is, until so many years, can not forget, and then later back to find her, no news. This time to meet, I think it is the fate given by God, I cherish it to the fullest.”
Because of this, Alvin did not dare to be overly greedy, he was afraid that Adriana would disappear and would disappear from his world once again.
Let him go through all the trouble to find such a person.
“You …”
The icy look on Edward’s face gradually faded, looking at him incredulously, “For her, is it really worth it?”
He has not been in love and does not understand then what feelings.
Pulled out a cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, held it between his lips, took a lighter and lit it, took a deep puff, thick smoke emanated from between his nostrils, hazed his face.
Alvin watched him smoke and beckoned, “Give me one too.”
“You will?”
He was surprised, but tossed him a cigarette anyway.
Alvin held a cigarette between his fingers, put it in his mouth in a pattern, held the lighter and lit it, took a puff, but was caught off guard by a choke and kept coughing up.
“Cough cough cough … choked me to death, the smell of smoke is so strong, what’s so good to smoke, really can’t understand you guys.”
A face of disgust derided, but the mouth is honest to take the cigarette once again, a strong puff, carefully swallowed.
After a while, a stream of smoke exhaled from his thin and thick lips, a faint smoke ring slowly rose to the sky, and finally lingered under the ceiling, lingering for a long time.
Alvin looked up at the stream of cigarettes and said with emotion: “What kind of emotion is that? As you are to Flora is the same. You can because Adriana with a gun at Flora, and angry want to destroy her. I, on the other hand, wanted to protect her. She’s a simple girl, I absolutely believe that.”
“Hmph, knowing people, Alvin, you’re a stupid white guy, being sold and still counting money for them, are you stupid?”
Edward gave him a blank look and hated him for not fighting.
“Silly or not, like people drink water cold.”
Alvin straightened up, walked over to the trash can, twisted out his cigarette and spat, “You guys should smoke less, it smells awful.”
Then he walked towards the elevator entrance, waving his hand without looking back, “Let’s go, I have to go investigate the matter of Adriana and give her justice.”
Ding–
The elevator opened and Alvin stepped inside.
Seeing him leave, Edward sighed and did not speak again.
