The heartfelt words from the heart.
Peter knew that Adriana was alive and happy, but could not find the emotion of deep love to the bone in the face of her.
Yet he knows he has always been dedicated to his feelings.
He will try to get everything back.
The elevator door opened and Peter took the first step out, followed by the three.
Walking to the courtyard, Adriana got into a car and Peter immediately followed her.
Adriana, who was buckling her seat belt, looked up and saw Peter sitting in the back through the rearview mirror of the car.
Her body stiffened and her expression was helpless as she looked into the mirror and locked eyes with the man looking at her in the mirror.
“Are you done with this?”
“It’s just the beginning, but it doesn’t end.”
“Go down!”
Adriana didn’t give him a chance to speak and gave an immediate command.
“No more!”
“Peter, I say again, get down!”
She put her hands on the steering wheel, just like that, tilting her head and looking in the rearview mirror, her voice sharp and harsh.
“Adri, I …”
“Okay, you’re not going down, are you? Then I’ll go down!”
Adriana reached down and unbuckled her seatbelt, pushed open the door and walked straight down.
Seeing this, Peter immediately pushed open the car door and walked down, circling around, wanting to walk to Adriana.
And Adriana, anticipating his move, immediately got into the car, closed the door, started the gas pedal, and left in a huff.
Fast, steady and accurate, it left Peter directly behind by a long way.
Through the rearview mirror, Adriana glanced at Peter’s figure as it shrunk and then blurred until it disappeared.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
“Mommy, why can’t you give Daddy a little chance?”
Luis beamed and climbed from the back to sit on the passenger side.
He is now nine years old and is allowed to sit in the passenger seat.
“Although Helen and I have a little fight at home, I don’t want to be separated from her. I want our family to be together, to be harmonious, happy and wonderful.”
Luis can understand what Helen is thinking right now, but everyone’s position is different and he would prefer to have a family of four together.
The children’s words seemed to hit home even more than Peter’s. Adriana pondered, swallowed, and sighed as if nothing had happened, “Luis, I know you want us to be together, but adult things are not something you children can understand.”
“How can I not understand? Daddy has failed you for many years, Helen and I both know that. All these years though you were away, but Helen and I knew you were still alive. We watched over Daddy for you and were relieved to tell you that he didn’t have any women around at all, except Theresa and this Sandra who came out of nowhere.”
He held up his little hand and swore.
“Luis, you shut up!”
Helen, sitting in the back row, glared at him in exasperation, “Daddy and Mommy have their own ideas and opinions, it has nothing to do with you, you stay out of it.”
“Helen, I …”
“You two be quiet, I’m driving.”
Adriana made a random excuse to silence the two children.
Suddenly, she realized that her relationship with Peter would really affect not only the two of them, but also the children.
It affects the relationship between Helen and Luis.
Helen has always felt for her and thought more from her standpoint.
Adriana is relieved but feels heartbroken and guilty about Helen.
“Today is New Year’s Eve, and I want us to have a good New Year’s Eve together. Then you guys remember to me that your Aunt Vivian’s mommy just died, you must be quieter in her house, no loud noises, and take more care of Aunt Vivian’s mood. Understand?”
It wouldn’t matter if they were just three or four years old, but they are nine years old.
There are some truths they should understand.
“Okay, Mommy.”
“Mommy, Luis got it.”
The road was icy and Adriana drove slowly, arriving at Vivian’s neighborhood at 5:30, with several phone calls from Anne on the way.
She took the children again to buy a lot of things in the supermarket next to the neighborhood.
She was the last customer to buy something as the owner was preparing to close for New Year’s Eve and closed the door.
They also gave both children a lollipop each.
Knock Knock-
“Vivian, open the door.”
Helen called out.
“Here we go, here we go.”
Anne’s voice came from inside, pulling open the door and looking at the two children, “Wow, Luis, Helen, what are you doing here?”
“Hehehe, Godmother, good New Year.”
“Happy New Year, Godmother, today Helen is spending New Year’s Eve with you, okay?”
The two delightful children have inherited good genes from their mommy and daddy, and are not only smart and clever, but also absolutely outstanding in appearance.
Little festival discipline can not hide the handsome handsome and innocent cute.
Anne came out and hugged the two children, “Happy, happy, of course happy, finally I can spend the New Year with my son and daughter. ”
Leading the two children inside, she introduced them, “This is Colin, your mommy’s friend, named Colin.”
Colin is sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap, crackling away at his keyboard.
When he saw the two children, he put down his computer, brushed the frames of his glasses and waved at them, “Helen? Luis? Hahaha, I’ve heard of you two for a long time, finally we meet.”
“Hello Colin.”
“Colin, this is …”
Luis walked over and saw a series of white numbers or letters on the black screen as if they were jumbled up in a constant jump.
Pointing to the screen, his eyes lit up, “Oh my God, Colin you are …”
“Er … hahahaha.” Colin followed and laughed, pulling Luis to sit on his lap, “What, don’t tell uncle that you know this too?”
“Sure, I did when I was very young.”
Luis said smugly.
Helen on the side gave him a blank look, “Gee, I didn’t teach you that.”
“You can do it too, Helen, I can’t believe it. Come here, let uncle see what you can do.”
Colin was immediately excited, greeted the two small children, three people gathered in front of the computer, as if they had found a new world, fully engaged, each of them interested in.
Seeing this scene, Adriana shrugged at Anne, “Colin is just right to be the master of both of them.”
Anne nodded with great approval, “That makes sense, I thought so too. ”
“Where’s Vivian?”
Adriana asked Anne, heard a noise from the kitchen and immediately put down the pile of gift boxes in her hands and walked towards the kitchen.
While walking, she whispered in Anne’s ear and asked, “How is she feeling? Better?”
“Much better, and slowly coming out of the shadows. Pretty strong, just don’t know inside …”
Anne didn’t say more than that.
She has not experienced the same thing, and naturally cannot empathize.
Just heartbroken for that girl.
Vivian, who met with Adriana abroad, has a good relationship with each other and is considered a good friend.
When she encountered this kind of thing, Anne watched with a pang of heartache.
The heartache is overwhelming.
Adriana patted Anne’s shoulder, “It’s been a hard two days for you.”
“Ugh, just so she can be in a better mood.”
