“Senior, can I hug you?”
The sudden question caused Alvin to freeze and nod, “Of course.”
Adriana laughed.
Spread his arms around Alvin, leaned on his chest, closed his eyes, and said, “Senior, thank you. Thank you for your care, thank you for your tolerance, thank you for saving my life. But, I am weak and have no way to repay you, so I can only remember it. I can’t give you anything, nor can I give you the feelings you want. I only have one heart, but I’ve fallen in love with someone I shouldn’t.
So, forget about me.
Reopen your new life, I believe that so good you will find a girl who loves you more.
I have a child, a lifetime of ties, and will not be that spontaneous.
For feelings, even less expectation.”
The warmth in his arms, the smell of her unique scent lingering between his nostrils, was something Alvin could not ask for.
He heard her words and his body stiffened more and more.
In a moment, adjusting his emotions, he raised his hand and wrapped it around her waist, “Then let me hold you for a while, can I?”
“Hmm.”
“Adri, having experienced the worst of life, you won’t be experiencing anything worse than what you are now. You should be hopeful about life after all the suffering. I never minded that you had children, and have told my Peter to cherish you, and if not, I will still get you back.
Now it’s time for me to keep my promise.”
Alvin wrinkled his brow and said ruefully.
“Senior, we are not suitable.”
Adriana feels that she is not worthy of such a wonderful Alvin, who is a ray of sunshine, a beautiful and holy being that cannot be tarnished.
“I am the only one who knows if the shoe fits.”
He hugged her, greedily taking in her scent, “Do you know why I came back to The Grant Family to inherit the family business in the first place?”
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know.”
But in reality, Adriana knows better than anyone.
“No, you know. But I’m going to tell you anyway. Because of you, because I wanted to be strong, strong enough to be able to protect you, I chose to come back to the company. And now that you’re leaving, what’s the point of me staying at the company? Instead, why don’t you give me a chance, okay?”
He has not given up his pursuit and is well aware of Adriana’s current situation.
After thinking about it, he added, “Adri, I know you’re in a bad mood right now, but it’s okay, I can wait. I remember, before told you a saying: you just need to keep going forward, when you are tired, turn back, I must be all behind you.
The phrase is valid for … lifetime!”
Alvin’s words have made it very clear that he likes Adriana and only one person in his life.
No one can replace her presence.
Adriana has been through too many ups and downs, and it can be described as an ill-fated fate.
The bruised woman is most easily touched when she feels the warmth of a man.
Adriana is not too much.
Very, very impressed.
There was even an impulsive thought lingering in her mind: say yes to him, say yes to him.
But she is still firm in her stance, “Senior, maybe you don’t know me well enough. I will not easily move feelings, but once there are feelings will not easily put down, not to mention love transfer. I’m a dedicated person, that’s my nature.”
She got out of his arms, looked at him, and smiled warmly, “All right, it’s time for me to go.”
When his arms were empty, Alvin’s heart was also empty.
Some loss.
“Where to?”
“The sky is big, and there is a home everywhere.”
“Not even going to tell me?”
“Just because it’s you, you can’t talk about it.”
Adriana pulled open the door, “Senpai, take care, no farewell.”
“But I want to send you.”
Adriana shook her head, exquisite as porcelain doll-like good-looking cheeks emerged from a simple good-looking smile, “No.”
Alvin hesitated for a moment, but when he saw Adriana’s firm attitude, he had to go.
Close the door.
The large hall, which was just a moment ago, is now suddenly quiet, making Adriana a little uncomfortable.
After strolling around the apartment alone, looking at everything familiar, my heart could not calm down after all.
Especially when she saw Helen’s favorite pink panther in the bedroom, tears suddenly came to her eyes.
Walked over, picked up the pink panther in his arms, choked, “Helen sorry, it’s Mommy’s fault, I’m sorry, I’m sorry …”
She didn’t want to leave, couldn’t let go of her daughter, couldn’t let go of Waverly, couldn’t let go of Jenkins, Vivian, Alvin …
And …
Peter!
But there are some things that don’t belong to her to begin with, and despite her efforts, she still can’t have them.
Gently drop a kiss on the pink panther doll, long and slender fingers gently rubbed the pink panther, “Helen, wait for mommy, when mommy is strong enough, I will come back.”
Put things down.
Adriana changed into a simple outfit, carried a duffel bag and walked away.
At the entrance to the neighborhood, Adriana threw the keys to her apartment and her cell phone card directly into the trash.
Then hail a cab, get in, and leave.
After he left, a van appeared to follow him where Adriana had not noticed.
Then, another black Buick.
Finally, an expensive Maybach.
Adriana went to a law office in the Waverly Center halfway through, spent an hour in there, and left.
Stopping a cab to leave, still three cars behind kept following Adriana.
The cab got on the highway and drove slowly all the way.
In the road with few vehicles coming and going, that a van suddenly accelerated and blocked in front of the cab.
The cab slammed on the gas pedal, and afraid of hitting the van, hit the steering wheel, and finally hit the green belt, directly in situ one hundred and eighty degrees overturned.
“Well …”
The sudden scene made Adriana dizzy and dizzy in the head.
The forehead hit the cab and blood came out.
“Girl, girl, are you all right? Come on, get out of the car.” The cab driver warned.
Adriana raised her hand and touched her forehead, which was overflowing with offered blood. She braced herself, unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
People just walked out from inside the sedan, behind a Buick sedan came out a few people with masks on their faces and guns in their hands, pointing at her, “Hand over the money?”
Blood spilled from Adriana’s forehead, the pain was excruciating, and she fell helplessly to the side, “What, what money? I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
“FUCK, what are you pretending to be confused about. Don’t think I don’t know you have a lot of money in your hand. I’m telling you, if you don’t hand over the money today, I’ll get you killed.”
The leader of the group pinned his gun directly on Adriana’s head and threatened.
“I really don’t. You guys … ah …”
Adriana was talking when she suddenly saw a car come rushing by, directly hitting the two people in front of her.
Snort–
The ear-piercing brakes sounded and the limo stopped, “Adri, hurry up and get in.”
The window glass came down, revealing Alvin’s face inside.
Adriana was grateful and immediately pulled the door open and got in.
