The two men standing outside looked at each other, and before they could say a word, they heard two children arguing in the living room.
Adriana let out a sigh and knocked on the door, “Helen, Luis, what are you arguing about?”
“No noise!”
These two words are said in the same breath.
The two kids in the living room, you glared at me, I glared at you, then huffed and puffed and went to sit on the couch.
Outside the living room, through a door, Adriana slowly turned and looked at Peter with a bemused expression, “Mr. Alston, I don’t think we have anything to say to each other.”
At least with her there is nothing to say now.
“I …”
Peter was dumbfounded.
“In the past, I caused you a lot of harm, but now that I’m back, why can’t you give me a chance? We already have Helen and Luis, and they are innocent.”
In the past thirty years, Peter has never stooped so low, and Adriana is the first one.
“Innocent?”
Adriana smiled lightly, “You were the one who gave me two million to have the baby in the first place, and when you took the baby away, how come you didn’t say the baby was innocent?”
At that time would not think that the child is innocent, but now talk about the child is innocent, do not feel ridiculous.
“You … me …”
More than once, Peter didn’t know what to say to Adriana, or maybe he had a thousand words in his heart and didn’t know how to say them.
“Adri, the memory loss was just an accident, Zac is already working on a treatment plan for my condition. Soon I will be able to regain my memory, give me some time.”
He explained rather helplessly.
“Does it make sense?”
Adriana didn’t want to give him any chance at all, and despite the existence of such a person in her heart, Adriana knew that no hope existed between the two.
Whether it was The Alston family’s rejection, Theresa’s interference, or her fear of The Alston family’s people that made her give up on this trepidatious relationship.
“We’re all adults, there’s no need to dwell on the past. You, not only have Theresa, and Sandra, you should cherish them. As for me, since I have forgotten, it is God’s arrangement, there is a destiny but no separation, no matter how much you dwell on it, there will be no result.”
She placed her hands in the pockets of her black trench coat, looked sideways at the corridor, and said in a shallow voice, “Don’t dwell on it, nothing will come of it. But, about Helen …”
Speaking of Helen, Adriana had just the thing to say to him.
I’ll go to The Alston family as Adriana to talk to you about child custody after I’m done with things. Since your The Alston family doesn’t like Helen, she can follow me. After all, it’s my child.”
“Having to split the kids up? I know that I was negligent about Helen, and I will reflect on it. It’s just that the children are still young and this will cause them no small psychological shadow.”
“But you …”
“Adri, let’s not talk about it.”
Peter gently lifted his hands, interrupting her words and moved a few minutes closer to her, “Can … I hold you?”
A sentence that he was silent for a while before he mustered the courage to say it.
That look seems to be really afraid that Adriana will refuse.
“Can’t!”
As expected, the woman refused dryly.
Without delay.
Peter’s eyebrows lightly wrinkled, and then stretched, but between the eyebrows always swirled with a strong sense of sadness, can not be brushed away.
He lightly pursed his lips, his deep eyes gazing at her, his thin lips slightly opened, then closed, then slightly opened again.
This was repeated several times and finally came to a calm.
“Is there anything else? No I’m leaving.”
Adriana saw that he had nothing to say and did not want to delay too much.
Knocking on the door, she said to the two children in the living room, “Luis, Helen, it’s time for us to go.”
“Oh.”
The children’s voices came from inside, the living room door opened, and the two children asked, “Daddy, Mommy, have you talked? Are you planning to spend New Year’s Eve together this year?”
Luis is always interested in setting up Adriana and Peter together.
“No, let’s spend New Year’s Eve with Vivian’s sister-in-law this year.”
She rubbed Luis’ head, “Say goodbye to your daddy and let’s go.”
Luis blinked his big watery eyes, looked at Peter and then said to Adriana, “Mommy, Daddy is so poor all by himself, can you take him with you to Vivian’s sister-in-law’s house for New Year?”
“No. …”
“Good.”
Adriana was just about to say no when Peter agreed.
“Vivian’s mother just died, is it appropriate for you to go to her home for New Year’s Eve?” Adriana had no choice but to tell Peter the truth.
“I’ll try to be as quiet as possible.”
A statement that clearly illustrates Peter’s attitude, his stubborn desire to spend the New Year with Adriana.
But Adriana is a little angry about it.
“My identity is very special now, you always follow me I will expose my identity!”
She has been working hard to gain Brenden’s trust, and she doesn’t want to lose it all.
“What makes you say that? Could it be that you have some unspeakable secret?”
He took Adriana by the arm, “You’ve been approaching Brenden a lot lately, are … trying to gain his trust? So that you can better protect me?”
“That’s enough!”
She couldn’t stand it any longer and shook off Peter’s hand, “Can you stop being so self-righteous? Yes or no, that’s my business, please don’t interfere, okay?”
Extremely restrained emotional rant, but the words are full of anger.
With that, Adriana pulled the two children towards the elevator.
Luis turned back and called out reluctantly, “Daddy.”
It’s not that I can’t let go, but I’m heartbroken.
Helen just looked back at Peter and withdrew her gaze without saying anything.
Ding–
The elevator opened and the family got into the elevator.
Adriana pressed the button of the first floor, the elevator slowly closed, Adriana’s hanging heart fell down.
Breathe a soft sigh of relief.
Just then, a foot poked in, and the induction elevator immediately opened.
Peter walked in and stood in front of the three, his back to them.
He pressed the door close button and closed the elevator.
I may not be a good father, but I’ll try to be a good husband. adri, in the past, I knew you only existed in my memory, and I always thought you were really gone from me in that accident. Now I know you’re alive, and that’s all that matters.
One year, I can’t move you, I will use two years.
One year, I can’t remember you, I’ll take five, eight, or even longer.
Even if it is completely forgotten, but as long as once loved, I will try to find that taste of love, and the feeling of thumping heartbeat.
Just …”
This word, slow and smooth, but extremely tender.
Ding–
The elevator arrived on the first floor and rang.
Peter said unhurriedly, “You are still alive, and I will spend my life making up for it as long as I can see you.”
