Bypassed Peter and took a step away.
However, a moment after brushing against him, Peter took her hand, “Don’t go.”
“What are you doing?”
Adriana was a little irritated, “Aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed by pulling and tugging on the street?”
“I, Peter, never live because of what others think.”
He gazed unblinkingly at Lawson, “Lawson, are you a man or a woman?”
Peter’s hand cupped on her chin, gently rubbing her skin, smooth and fine, not at all like a man with the raw feeling of scruff after picking.
Adriana’s heart trembled and said a bad word, blaming herself for Sandra’s presence and revealing too much of her emotions.
“I …”
“How can a man be as interested in you as a woman?”
Hearing Peter finish his sentence, Adriana secretly relieved, brushed away his hand, said coldly: “Sorry, I have Raylan and Anne is enough. You? I can’t even get a turn in line.”
Standing on the side of the road, she saw a cab just in time, she waved her hand, stopped the cab and sat on it, “To the airport.”
“Okay.”
The cab started slowly and pulled away from Peter.
Adriana sat in the passenger seat and watched through the reflection mirror as Peter kept facing her direction, his gaze eerie until the person dwindled to invisibility.
What a crazy person to think of going with Peter to see that old Chinese doctor and make a fool of himself.
Secretly cursing himself, he took his phone and booked the nearest flight to fly back to Waverly.
Who knew that people had just arrived at the airport when they received a phone call from Brenden.
“Mr. Alston, what’s the call about?”
Adriana asked.
“I know you’re in Floedan now. i’m coming to Floedan with Hayley to see the old herbalist this morning, you’re with me.”
“You were at the airport?”
“Right.”
“Coincidentally, I was there.”
She got on the phone with Brenden and found each other.
“Mr. Alston, sister-in-law.”
She shouted politely.
“Why are you here?” Brenden was a little puzzled.
“Yeah Lawson, why are you alone at the airport?”
Adriana calls Hayley her sister-in-law and Hayley calls him ‘Lawson’, the meaning of which is self-explanatory.
“Oh, I … sent someone to the airport. You’re going to see the old herbalist now?”
“Peter is already one step ahead of me. If we don’t go now, the formula will be lost if he takes it.”
“Okay then, let’s go.”
Adriana originally wanted to go back to Waverly, and since Brenden and Hayley were coming over, she might as well free up her time to stay over here for a few more days.
Harlee will arrange someone to handle the company’s affairs, and her presence or absence will not affect the normal operation of the company.
Walking out of the airport, a limousine appeared at the entrance, and the driver stepped out of the car and stood in front of the three, bowing, “Mr. Alston, Mrs. Alston, Mr. Boone.”
The driver opened the passenger door, and without waiting for Adriana to step into the passenger seat, Brenden had already stepped forward, got into the car and closed the door.
That move, not to mention Adriana and Hayley, even the driver was a little surprised, a look of surprise, eyes wandering over the two Hayley and ‘Lawson’.
The unfathomable eyes, inexplicably let people see some mockery of the meaning of children.
The driver opened the door to the back seat, “Mrs. Alston, Mr. Boone, please.”
Adriana looked embarrassed, well aware of Brenden’s attitude, but did not expect him to make it so obvious.
She pretended to be a gentleman and made a ‘please’ gesture, “Sister-in-law, get in.”
“Hmm.”
Hayley gave a token smile, gathered her tweed coat and got into the car, followed by Adriana.
Bang, the limo door closes.
The driver went around to the main driver’s seat, started the car and slowly departed.
Inside the carriage, Brenden took the initiative to speak, “Did Mr. Boone come to Floedan to meet with Peter?”
He sounded a breeze, without any hint of shame for wanting to push Hayley to ‘Lawson’.
“Seen, I also heard that he has gone to meet with the old herbalist, if you go late now, I’m afraid it’s also tricky.”
Previously Adriana had always supported Peter, even for collaborative projects, and she was worried that Brenden would make all the noise and ostracize Peter in The Alston family.
But at this moment, Adriana truly hoped that Brenden would arrive at the old herbalist’s home as quickly as possible.
“Hayley, you just said you weren’t feeling well, are you okay?”
Brenden changed the subject and looked back at Hayley with a look that indicated something.
“Hmm? Hey, it hurts a bit, and it’s a little hard. My stomach hasn’t been feeling well for the past two days.” Hayley was stunned for a moment, then reached out and covered her stomach, making a painful face.
The play is so obvious that it makes Adriana understand Brenden’s meaning at a glance.
“Well, in that case …”
“In that case, then Ninth Brother, please accompany Hayley to see the doctor, I will go there immediately now, or else the project will fall into Peter’s hands. At that time, the consequences will be unthinkable.”
Adriana just wanted to say that Brenden should accompany Hayley to the doctor, but Brenden obviously already knew what ‘Lawson’ was going to say and cut her off, blocking her path.
“Is this … appropriate?”
Brenden is also too scum, deliberately pushing Hayley to his side, that Hayley is also foolish, when really believe Brenden.
Stupidity is … unmatched.
If it weren’t for the fact that Hayley is her adoptive mother’s daughter, Adriana wouldn’t have even bothered with the matter.
But no matter what, Hayley and she grew up together, she can never watch Hayley continue to fall deeper into the fire.
“I’m sorry, but Hayley is my wife, and she’s never been well, so I don’t feel comfortable leaving her to someone else. I’ll just trouble you.”
His words fell, not giving Adriana any chance to speak, and immediately instructed the driver, “Stop the car at the roadside.”
“Yes, Mr. Alston.”
The limo stopped and the driver hurriedly got out and came over and pulled the door open for both of them, “Mr. Boone, Mrs. Alston.”
Adriana: “…”
Does she have a choice?
“In that case, I’ll take my sister-in-law to the hospital, and I’ll come over to you later.”
Adriana got out of the car and stepped out.
When she turned back, Hayley hadn’t gotten out of the car yet, as she came to the front and clearly saw Hayley and Brenden both talking through the front windshield.
But as for what was said, Adriana couldn’t hear.
Hayley got out, closed the door, and the driver circled back to the main driver’s seat and drove away.
So, she and Hayley were left alone on the highway.
Hayley wore gloves, tugged at the scarf around her neck, wrapped herself tightly, and looked at Adriana with an awkward smile, “Lawson, let’s just stop the car and go back.”
“Go back? To where? Don’t you have a stomachache, I’ll take you to the hospital first.”
The hot potato, left in her hands, is really hot.
Adriana doesn’t know how the rest of the play is going to play out, but there is one thing she has to do to make Hayley see Brenden for who he really is.
Thinking about it, he walked up and gave her a wicked smile, “Hayley, I haven’t seen you for a few days, you’re looking better and better.”
