“Hee hee, Daddy, I’m not hungry, I want to be here to watch my handsome brother, my daughter wants to marry him.”
She foolishly walked up to Dr. Suarez, took his arm and gently shook it, “Dad, aren’t you always worried that I can’t get married? I like him, will you let him marry me?”
The words and actions were like those of a 12 or 13 year old.
“Tsk … Mr. Alston is lucky. Hmm?”
Raylan hooked his lips and smiled, “A trip to Floedan to gain two women is really admirable.”
As his words fell, Peter’s sharp gaze swept over, without speaking.
Adriana kicked Raylan in the leg, “How’s that for talking.”
Glaring at him, he signaled him not to talk nonsense.
Raylan wrinkled his brow and kept his mouth shut.
“Eliza, be good, your mother is busy in the backyard, go find your mother. Daddy has patients to see over here.”
Dr. Suarez is extremely patient when it comes to Eliza.
It’s obvious that he dotes on Eliza.
“No, no, Daddy, I have to be here to watch my handsome brother, otherwise what if he runs away.”
Eliza beamed and stood there with her eyes looking straight at Peter, unblinking.
“Ouch, what’s going on here?”
At that moment, a woman came out of the backyard, the wife of Dr. Suarez.
Asked, “Eliza what are you making a fuss about?”
“Oooh … mom, I like that handsome brother, I want to marry him. Daddy won’t agree.”
Eliza jumped into her mother’s arms and cried all at once.
“All right, take her to dinner.”
Dr. Suarez’s temper came up.
“No, I just don’t want it.”
Eliza stomped her foot, “I’m going to marry him.”
Mrs. Suarez also loves her children and was very distressed to see Eliza like this, so she said, “Doesn’t he want your herbal formula with all his heart? As long as he is willing to marry Eliza, we will give him the formula. It doesn’t matter, as long as our daughter is happy.”
Rash decisions, absurd in the extreme.
“Nonsense!”
Dr. Suarez slammed the table and yelled, “Get to the back room!”
“Wow~ Daddy, you yelled at me, oooh~”
Eliza cried even more.
“Look at you, what are you yelling at a child. As a doctor, you can’t even cure your own daughter, and every day a serious doctor for others, quack!”
“You … you say that again?”
Dr. Suarez was on fire, and his face was red with anger.
The original Eliza was a hidden pain in his heart, and being ruthlessly uncovered will only hurt more.
Seeing this scene, Adriana shook her head and waved her hand, “Let’s go, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”
She made a suggestion, and several people followed without a word of warning.
Stepping out of the courtyard, the bickering and crying continued inside.
Adriana sighed and stood outside the courtyard looking in, feeling sympathy for Evalyn’s ordeal.
And then, raising an eyebrow at Peter, “Mr. Alston, aren’t you eager to take the formula? Now is a good opportunity, do you want to consider it?”
The words sounded, a few times mocking, a few times serious.
Peter could not figure out what ‘Lawson’ meant by his words.
“What are you talking about, how can Peter marry a fool?” Sandra stood up and retorted.
“So excited, is it because you are afraid that a fool will steal the position from you? Or have you just met with Mr. Alston not two days ago and you are thinking of Mrs. Alston’s title?”
Raylan holds out for Adriana.
“Let’s go.”
Adriana didn’t bother to say more, said to Raylan and got into the car.
“Mr. Boone, wait.”
She had just walked a few steps away when Brenden’s voice came from behind her.
Adriana paced and said to Raylan, “There is a family hotel in the village, you go and book a room, you won’t go back tonight.”
“I think you are stupid, this nook and cranny village, can have a hotel? Ridiculous!”
Sandra thinks Adriana is simply talking nonsense.
“Superficial.”
Adriana smiled contemptuously and ordered Raylan again, “What are you waiting for? Hurry up, there will be no room if you go late.”
You should know that Dr. Suarez’s reputation is known from Floedan to Waverly, and it has spread far and wide.
Every day, people coming to see him are lining up, a situation that naturally gives rise to another industry.
It’s no surprise that some families see the opportunity to get a homestay.
“Okay, I’ll go over there first.”
Raylan responded and drove off.
“Let’s go, too.”
Peter gave Adriana a meaningful look and walked away with Sandra.
At one point, Brenden and Adriana were left alone.
The two got into Brenden’s car, and inside, Brenden was silent for a moment.
Leaning on the driver’s seat, the right hand casually resting on the steering wheel, ten fingers tapping the steering wheel once or twice, as if thinking.
“If you have something to say Mr. Alston might as well say it straight.”
Without even thinking about it, I knew what Brenden was going to say.
“The formula in Dr. Suarez’s hands has to be taken down no matter what. You should know that the formula is very important to me.”
Brenden confesses.
“I’m curious to know if your wife is important or the formula is important?”
Adriana held a cigarette in her hand, the car window left a gap, pretending to take a puff, but did not pass the lungs and spit out.
She disliked cigarettes very much, but since she was dressed as a man, she had to make this move.
The words fell, looking ahead Brenden’s gaze deepened a few points, contemptuous smile, side glance at her, “Mr. Boone nature flirtatious, suddenly a serious question like this, really surprised me.”
After saying that, there was silence for two seconds, and the two looked at each other, he continued, “Women are like clothes, only interests are eternal.”
Adriana’s cigarette fingers tightened slightly, and the anger under her eyes flickered away, and she tilted her head and laughed, “Hahaha, I’m relieved to have Mr. Alston’s word. I’ll take care of the recipe.”
…
The only family hotel in the village, Raylan had booked two rooms.
Then it is also the last two rooms.
When Adriana and Brenden came over, they heard Sandra stomp her foot and mutter in displeasure, “What a shitty place, there are only a few rooms. It’s winter, where can we stay?”
“Eh, don’t say that. You and Mr. Alston are too distinguished for such nooks and crannies to accommodate you.”
Raylan is relentlessly sarcastic with Sandra.
Peter had a difficult look on his face, “Boss, is there no hotel around?”
The boss shook his head and gathered the clothes on his shoulders, “It’s New Year’s Eve, and the sons and daughters-in-law of all the families are going back to their villages for the New Year. Usually, all the families vacate their children’s rooms to make hostels, so when it comes to New Year, there will be no room.”
“Peter, what do we do then?”
Sandra looked outside in the dark, through the light shining in the hall, you can vaguely see the snowflakes outside, with the fierce cold wind fluttering.
It’s so cold, do you want to go back?
“See you guys are also quite difficult, or … this lady you night with my daughter-in-law to accommodate a night? They are four men two a room, anyway, you also know. See if you can make do with it?”
