“Forgive me for not being able to comply.”
Without looking at Theresa, Adriana walked over to the couch and sat down straight away.
At that moment, Peter cast a deep eye over, “Thank you for buying clothes for the two children.”
“No need to thank me, it’s not like I bought it, it’s all from the godmother of the two children.”
Not wanting to expose herself, Adriana says Anne bought it.
“That’s right Peter, you think too well of Lawson.”
Theresa sat beside Peter, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Adriana.
It was only recently that she learned that Adriana had become Sloane’s master and was teaching her taekwondo every week that she came along.
If not, there is no telling what Adriana will play.
She is always on the defensive against Adriana.
Peter swept a sideways glance at Theresa, frowned, seemed a little displeased, and then looked at the ‘man’ standing opposite, “Lawson, you sit first.”
He got up leisurely and walked toward the upper floor, saying to Theresa as he went, “Theresa, you come up with me.”
Theresa raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Peter in surprise and uncertainty.
With an exasperated look at Adriana, she responded, “Okay, Peter,” and got up and walked over towards Peter.
For a while Adriana was left alone in the large living room.
She raised her eyebrows and walked to the sofa and sat down as if nothing had happened, the maid handed over a cup of coffee, “Mr. Boone, your coffee.”
“Thanks.”
Lawson took the coffee and sipped it alone.
Not long after, Luis and Helen both ran down and gathered around her, chatting with her and having a good time.
And at that moment, in the study.
Peter stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to Theresa, and did not speak for a long time.
That kind of silence made Theresa’s heart go up and down, stuttering, confused about what Peter meant.
“Pe…”
“I’ve arranged a blind date for you, do you want to go?”
Theresa’s lips were slightly parted, and she was about to say something when she heard Peter speak about a blind date for her.
At that moment, Theresa’s eyes widened and she looked incredulously at the man standing in front of her, “Peter, what did you say? A blind date? Ohhhh …”
She couldn’t suppress a sarcastic laugh, feeling that Peter’s words were like a joke that was mercilessly striking her.
Slowly stepped away and walked to stand behind him, “Who in the whole of Waverly doesn’t know about my relationship with you? Have you considered my feelings now that you’re asking me to go on a blind date?”
Theresa cried and laughed, feeling like the ultimate clown.
In the absence of Adriana back, everything Rene unharmed.
But now that Adriana is back as Lawson, Peter actually has to distance himself from her.
I really don’t know what kind of ecstasy that bitch has put into Peter.
Peter placed his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, looking out through the vapor-stained glass window, his face clear and cold, “It is because of concern for your feelings that it is so. Theresa …”
He called out softly and turned around leisurely, those dark, bottomless, deep eyes falling on Theresa’s body, “You’ve invested too much time in me to get anything in return. Even if it’s many more years, it’s still the same.”
“I …”
Theresa pursed her lips, speechless.
When he fell off the cliff on Orco Mount, Peter was in a coma and took that opportunity to find Obren’s people to help Peter seal his memory, but what he doesn’t remember is just a scene with Adriana, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t remember the past with her.
Peter has long since turned his back on her, and has tolerated her by his side all these years, but only because of Mrs. Alston.
She is Mrs. Alston’s goddaughter, so even if Peter has an opinion, he can’t bring it to the table.
I didn’t expect that today he would …
“The person introduced to you has a good identity and is right for you. I did get to know him as a person …”
“I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it …”
Theresa shook her head with a slight rise and fall of emotion, “I’m not interested in anyone but you. peter, you know how I feel.”
“Knowing it or not knowing it is no reason for you to stay with me.”
Peter’s face chilled for a few moments, “I’ve told you many times over the years, explicitly and implicitly, that you should see reality clearly.”
His tone increased a few notches.
Theresa looked at him and suddenly felt some soreness in her eyes and blinked, trying to see clearly the thin-skinned man standing in front of her.
The corners of his lips held a little sneer, “Oh … see reality clearly?”
Yes, she is just too naive.
Suddenly, the smile on his lips became stiff and then disappeared into thin air.
Theresa took a deep breath and said: “Okay, Peter, I promise you to leave you. But … blind dates are exempt, I Theresa can not take the turn to find a date on a blind date. There are plenty of people who like me.”
“Peter, is there anything else, if not I’ll go out.”
She pretended to smile easily, clear and watery eyes like a crystal ball, giving a clean and transparent feeling.
Without waiting for Peter to speak, Theresa left the study.
Every time, whenever Peter pulled away from her, Theresa would address him as ‘Peter’, while in front of people, she would address him as ‘Peter’, in order to deliberately keep the intimacy in front of people, so that everyone would think that she and Peter has sat down everything between her and Peter.
Theresa out of the study, closing the door at the moment, the simple smile on the cheeks instantly tinged with some ruthlessness, like a viper spitting letters, creepy.
Turning around, standing in the hallway, I could see Adriana sitting in the first floor lobby, chatting happily with Luis and Helen and Sloane.
A burst of jealousy rushed to the forefront of my mind.
In the morning, Adriana took the three of them for a morning of taekwondo practice.
It was almost time for dinner, and the three of them went into the lobby, panting with exhaustion, to rest while Adriana took a phone call.
“What’s wrong, Anne?”
She stood in the courtyard and took a few steps in the direction of the east side, as if she was worried that someone had heard her call.
“Mr. Boone, Vivian … Vivian she’s bleeding.”
“What? Bleeding? What did the doctor say and how is the baby in her belly?”
“It says the fetal image is unstable and it’s two months old, so if it’s aborted it needs to be operated on as soon as possible.”
“Okay, I know, you and Vivian pack up and book a flight for this afternoon right away.”
“Good.”
Hanging up the phone, Adriana let out a long breath and sighed, “How come it’s bleeding?”
Shaking his head helplessly, he turned around and walked towards the hall.
When her people entered the hall, a person appeared behind the greenery next to the position where she was standing just now, with a venomous and cold smile on that delicate face.
“Miscarriage? Bleeding?”
Theresa picked up her phone and made a call, “Check … for me.”
…
Near lunchtime, a group of people gathered in the dining room to eat, and because Luis and Helen were livening up the atmosphere, it didn’t seem awkward.
After the meal, Adriana accompanied Luis and Helen, and Mrs. Alston didn’t treat ‘Lawson’ well, so she went straight upstairs.
