Raylan said, trying to push her back into the house.
But Adriana immediately said, “Can you sit here for a while, I want to see the snow.”
Sitting under the eaves and no snowflakes, it is just the right time to drown your sorrows.
“Good.”
Raylan responded.
Into the house, not long after taking out a heater, placed between the two, he moved a stool, sitting aside.
Adriana saw him like that and was a little curious, “How did you get a house like this when you’re so rich?”
How could a simple, almost humble house be a place for someone of Raylan’s wealth to live?
“This … was my grandmother’s house. It’s been empty since they passed away, and I have people come over from time to time to clean it and have nothing to do with it.”
“So, I’d say so. It’s really quite good. By the mountains and water, a good place for leisure and retirement.”
“You like it?”
Raylan looked at her sideways, “Then when you and I are too old to walk we can stay over together.”
At the end, feeling that the words were a bit ambiguous, immediately added a sentence, “to be neighbors.”
“That’s certainly no problem.”
She leaned back in her wheelchair, wrapped her down jacket tighter, and sighed, “Luis and Helen are already nine years old. In a few years’ time, they will be grown up. At that time, they will have their own lives and worlds, and they won’t be able to care about me.”
That said, Adriana is somewhat grateful.
Thankfully, her two children’s birthdays came just after she returned to Waverly, giving her the privilege of spending her ninth birthday with them.
“I should say sorry for what happened at the Eskaria Hotel.”
Adriana then added.
“It’s okay, I didn’t even put it on my mind a long time ago.”
He laughed it off.
When he first met Adriana and learned that she had two children, at that moment, for some reason, Raylan couldn’t accept it.
But after a month or so of settling down, he finally accepted it.
Naive, and he is not acceptable to be betrayed, so when he learned that Adriana collaborated with Brenden, and it was Brenden designed to set up his hotel, and caused him to miss the opportunity to bid.
Raylan is naturally angry and feels betrayed by Adriana.
Until that day Adriana sent him a message and asked to meet, he was torn for hours before going.
“Anyway, wrong is wrong. So, when we go back to Waverly, I’ll buy you dinner.”
“It’s a deal.”
The two men looked at each other with bland smiles.
“What are you … going to do about the poisoning?”
Raylan was curious to know, so he asked.
Adriana’s good-looking eyebrows wrinkled and said, “Let it be.” Then shook her head, “I don’t want to die, and I don’t want to suffer that kind of pain again.”
“So what are you going to do?”
He asked again.
Adriana fell into silence, staring into the distance, watching the snowflakes drifting down as they swirled and then drifted to the ground.
Her red lips slightly open, “Naturally … kill a blood road, encounter God to kill God, encounter Buddha to kill Buddha.”
The implication was clear: she was going to start fighting back, resisting.
Intended to fight Harlee!
“I’ll help you!”
Raylan spoke without thinking.
“Really? Thanks.”
She is weak and if someone is willing to help that is naturally good.
Once a year, this time, she survived the pain that penetrated her bones and suffocated her, and having experienced it once, she would rather die than experience it again.
After spending a few days over here, she and Raylan returned to Floedan.
Adriana’s body is repaired and nothing is visible except those scratch marks on her body.
So, she bought a ticket directly back to Waverly.
“You really want to go back? The doctor said your body needs a good rest, at least a month.” Although those are hidden injuries, but the poisonous attack once, burned the internal organs, or need to slowly repair.
“No need. I’m not that fragile.”
He changed his attire and returned to his ‘manly self’.
In the morning, Adriana bought her ticket and got on the plane.
Adriana took a sideways glance and looked puzzled, “Why are you here too?”
“The company had nothing to do and asked me to go to Waverly to survey and then prepare for the new company.”
Raylan stretched out his right hand, index finger pulled the sunglasses down in front of the tip of his nose, revealing two good-looking eyes, looking at Adriana, with a wicked smile.
“Congratulations.”
“Haven’t gone to open a company yet, congratulations on what?”
…
Waverly.
It was 6:00 p. m. when we arrived in Waverly.
The two of them walked out of the airport talking and laughing, who expected a line of people standing at the entrance of the hall.
A group of bodyguards dressed in suits and wearing sunglasses aura in front of a man standing in a purple suit, his short hair slightly curly, wearing a pair of Tyrannosaurus sunglasses, covering half of his face.
But his handsome face can be vaguely seen from his features.
Adriana looked at the man, her pace was set, and her whole face went bad.
After Adriana told Raylan all about her past, he immediately set about investigating the man named Harlee. Naturally, he was no stranger to the person standing in front of him.
Harlee!
Having seen Adriana’s horrific look of pain that day, Raylan has no love for Harlee.
“Lawson?”
Harlee called out.
The voice was husky, gloomy, with a touch of sadness.
Take a step and walk towards Adriana.
Instead, Adriana removed her sunglasses and looked squarely at the man in front of her, her thin lips raised indifferent smile, “Mr. Soto, when did you visit Waverly, how come I didn’t know?”
She looked as if the scene in the Eskaria Hotel that day had never happened.
It kept her well hidden.
Harlee, although annoying, has taught her a lot about being human.
He said: people, not to be joyful, will be easy to be caught in the hands of people.
“You …”
Harlee was incredulous and looked her up and down, left and right, with an inquisitive look in her eyes that could not wait to put a hole in Adriana’s body.
“Mr. Soto, you lied to me again, and this time, I won’t trust you again.”
Adriana smiled slightly on one side of her lips, put on her sunglasses, and walked past him with an air of pushing a small suitcase.
Raylan’s long and narrow eyes narrowed slightly, sweeping over Harlee’s body, the eyes that concealed a murderous aura, extremely harsh.
But Harlee didn’t even notice.
“What do you mean? You mean there’s no reaction at all?”
He went after her and took Adriana by the hand, not resting until he got the answer he wanted.
The moment his hand touched Adriana, Adriana was disgusted and shook it off, “Do you see anything wrong with me now?”
She spread her hands, pretending to be relaxed.
The places that hurt that day were the head, chest, and abdomen.
The scratch marks in the show hair are invisible, and the scratch marks on the body cover the clothes even more invisible.
She had a thin layer of makeup on her cheeks, giving the impression that she looked great and was not easily noticed, so Harlee looked at her like she was nothing at all.
“No way!”
Harlee got angry and clasped her hands on Adriana’s shoulders with some annoyance.
How much Adriana suffered that day at the Eskaria Hotel, and how much she hates Harlee now.
