“Yeah, I want to stay with mommy too, even though she’s a godmother, she’s like our real mommy.”
The resourceful Helen immediately used a phrase to explain Luis’ words and defuse the crisis.
Adriana at the table over there was so frightened that her hands trembled and she almost didn’t slip the porcelain bowl to the floor.
“Godmother is godmother, how can you call her mommy?”
Theresa’s eyes flickered with displeasure, but the corners of her lips raised a far-fetched smile, “That’s not right oh, it will make people laugh when they say it out.”
Helen, who already disliked Theresa, gave her a blank look and pulled Luis back to the table, “If you want to go back, you go back, I’m not going back.”
“Yeah, I’m not going back either.”
Two children take a firm stand.
Such a scene, Adriana also can not say anything more, just silently sit and eat.
“You go back, I’ll be next door with the kids for the last month.”
Peter is usually cold in nature, but I have to say that he is 100% responsible for his children and extremely responsible.
Let Adriana get some relief.
“A month?”
Theresa panicked, looking at the two disobedient children over there, so angry that she tightened her fist and let go helplessly.
Sighing, he said, “Then I’ll stay with you, or I’m afraid Anne won’t be able to take care of them. After all, Anne has not brought up children …”
“Who said that? I was brought up by my godmother when I was a child.”
Helen retorted in one breath, mercilessly piercing Theresa’s hypocritical face.
“Available at …”
“I’ll be fine here, you go back.”
Peter said with an expressionless face.
“Peter!”
She tugged on Peter’s arm, “I’m not worried about the kids, and I’m not worried about you, so let me stay here with you and cook for you.”
“Would you?”
The man’s eyelids slightly raised, shy words like gold three words slowly spit out, without any emotion, but inexplicably let Theresa cold to the bone.
Yes, she won’t.
How can a dainty, thousand-year-old celebrity know how to cook?
“I …”
Theresa was speechless.
Peter pulled the door open, “Go back and tell her I’ll take care of Luis and Helen.”
The ‘she’ naturally refers to Peter’s mother.
“Your mom is lonely at home alone, you guys …”
Not waiting for Theresa to finish her words, Peter’s harsh gaze shot over, “She has Sloane, warn Sloane to be honest, or I will immediately arrange for her to leave the country.”
The cold eyes of Peter shocked Theresa teeth bite lips, want to say something, but the words stuck in the throat, no matter how can not say out.
Had to turn around and leave.
The door to the room closed and Adriana put down her chopsticks, “Enjoy your meal, I’m going to my room.”
Because it is a man’s attire, so a seemingly dandy nature will not make Peter suspicious.
Half an hour later, Adriana came out of the room, the living room was already cleaned up, Luis and Helen were lying down to do their homework, she immediately went over to tutor the homework.
As long as Peter is no longer, she will not feel oppressed and constrained.
The following day.
Adriana wakes up early, takes the kids out for dinner, and drops them off at school.
When I went to the company, my secretary Rene immediately reported the work schedule, “Mr. Boone, the president of Lindsay Group asked you to talk about the project cooperation today, it is arranged at 10:00 am. In the afternoon …”
“Okay, I got it.”
Adriana looked at the time, it was already after eight in the morning, and asked, “Where’s Anne?”
I’ve been with Anne for many years, and although she seems to have a big heart, she is meticulous, meticulous, and does not make any mistakes in her work.
Why are you late today?
“I don’t know, didn’t see it.” Rene shook his head.
“Go down.”
Adriana waved her hand.
Took the phone and dialed Anne, the phone was off.
Adriana just thinks Anne went out yesterday and went crazy, drank too much and is still sleeping.
After a busy time at the office, I took Rene to a fancy tea house in the morning to meet with the president of Lindsay Group to talk about cooperation.
“You’re Ms. Lindsay’s guests, aren’t you? This way please.”
Walking to the teahouse, a waiter led the two together to a private room on the third floor.
“Ms. Lindsay, your guest has arrived.”
The waiter pushed open the door and said respectfully.
Adriana walked in with Rene and saw the person sitting inside at a glance.
“Theresa?”
Today Theresa is dressed in a black pinch-waist suit, long hair coiled on her head, simple makeup with black earrings, dressed in a sensible and generous way, very beautiful.
“Hello Mr. Boone.”
Theresa got up, walked to Adriana’s front and extended her hand, “Introduce myself, I am the vice president of Lindsay Group, I came over to talk to you today about the project cooperation.”
Adriana removed her silver gray sunglasses and glanced coldly at her outstretched slender hand, “Sorry, I only talk business with Logan.”
He left a sentence and turned around to leave.
“My father is sick, not feeling well, and now people are in the hospital.”
Logan, Theresa’s father, is also the chairman of the Lindsay Group.
Theresa didn’t expect Lawson to be so unpredictable, but she couldn’t let him go when she finally found a chance to meet him alone.
Solely lied.
“Mr. Boone is a businessman and everything is in his interest, isn’t it? All my words today are on behalf of Chairman Logan, you can rest assured.”
Adriana frowned, after all, we have come here, and then leave is not a waste of time?
So still turned around and walked to the mahogany chair and sat down, asking, “I like to get right to the point, Ms. Lindsay might as well talk about the specifics of the partnership.”
“Heh heh heh.”
Theresa smiled, “Why is Mr. Boone in such a hurry since he’s making a trip.”
Waving a hand at the waiter and Rene, “You guys wait outside first, I have something to talk to Mr. Boone.”
When Rene, the secretary, saw that his boss didn’t know the sound, he understood what he meant and left with the waiter.
The compartment door closes.
Theresa turned back, her eyes complex and dark.
Walked to the table, picked up the steeped Longjing tea, poured him a cup, and politely delivered the Longjing to Adriana’s hand, “Mr. Boone, this cup of tea counts as my apology. Last time in Clear Bay I offended you and your girlfriend, it was my fault, here I apologize to you.”
Holding a small cup of tea in both hands, he leaned forward slightly with a respectful attitude.
Adriana leaned lazily on the mahogany chair, crossed her legs, and interpreted the fop of the broad young man to the fullest. The elbow is propped on the armrest, resting on the forehead, looking at her sideways, just like an indifferent posture.
He did not take the cup of tea for a long time, deliberately hanging Theresa out to dry.
The smile on Theresa’s cheeks became stiff and ugly as each minute passed.
Then he straightened up and heaved his tealight on the table, “Lawson, I sincerely apologize to you, what’s your attitude?”
Adriana’s lips lifted slightly and she snorted a laugh, “Apologize? That’s your attitude?”
Pointing to the azure watch on his wrist, he said, “One minute and two seconds of patience, sincerity I really can’t see.”
Theresa never expected Lawson to be slowly counting the minutes, and felt a pang of anger in her heart, “So what the hell do you want?”
“How am I doing? This is inexplicable to ask. I had an appointment with Logan Joe Dong today, and you were the one who rushed over to talk to me about cooperation. Now ask me?”
