But she found her relatives, but she had a sense of having entered the wolf’s den.
Defensive, appalled, resistant!
This is what is really on her mind.
“Adri, I …”
She was angry, a pair of good-looking shearwater eyes swirling with dense water mist, but the depths of those pupils exude irony and self-deprecation.
“Don’t call me Adri, you don’t deserve it! My name is Adriana, it was, it is, and it will be!”
She doesn’t give a damn what the Soto family thinks.
What they call good is always mixed with various interests.
Dropping the words, she turned and walked over to Helen’s side, pulling her along, “Let’s go up.”
“I am your brother! Whether you admit it or not, you have the blood of the Soto family in your bones, and it will never change!”
He was so emotional that he stood up straight from the pole and roared.
That moment, pulled the wound, the pain he frowned.
When I raised my hand and put it over my abdomen, a sense of dampness reached my palm.
After watching Adriana enter the small area and disappear out of sight, he lifted his hand, which was stained with blood.
Harlee looked up and inadvertently saw a familiar figure standing in front of the upstairs window.
He gently clasped his hands together, grunted coldly, and turned toward his car.
…
In the small area, Helen took her hand and stopped in the hallway.
The little girl looked at her and asked in a childish voice, “Mommy, do you really want to go back to the Soto family? Can you take me with you?”
Just now Harlee and Adriana’s words, she heard everything in her ears, just then did not speak, and did not want to intervene.
Helen’s words made Adriana’s heart feel quite bad.
She raised her hand and brushed Helen’s cheek.
“Helen, your daddy really loves you, why don’t you want to follow daddy?”
She was curious to know why.
“You worked so hard to bring me up alone when I was born, and when I came back Daddy didn’t protect you, you disappeared for five years and Daddy didn’t even know you existed. I don’t think he’s qualified to love you. But then, I think Uncle Grant, Uncle Raylan are quite good, is a good choice it.”
Adriana, who was in a gloomy mood, listened to the little girl’s words and almost didn’t laugh in anger.
“What do you know, you little kid, nonsense, no big and no small.”
Adriana flicked her on the head, “You need to focus on your studies now, and don’t give me any more ideas, okay?”
There’s really nothing you can do with two kids.
Smart is smart, but it must be used in the right way.
“Hiss, that hurts. I’m telling the truth, all right.”
Helen said the more energetic, took her hand, while walking up the stairs, while analyzing, “Uncle Grant, former music professor, gentleman, very romantic cells, you and he together will be able to live a happy and uneventful life. Well, this is what you want. In the case of Uncle Raylan, he is evil and unrestrained, and belongs to the evil demon type of man, of course, with him, life is full of surprises all the time, and that kind of man must be very dedicated to the relationship. I’ve done a lot of calculations for him and Uncle Grant in my horoscope.”
Adriana: “…”
She suddenly stopped walking.
Standing on the steps, looking at Helen, “I know you are very smart and your IQ is already that of a child of 12 or 13 years old age, but you need to study hard now, where can you have so much mind to study this?”
The children are suddenly older, leaving Adriana somewhat unable to keep up with the children’s thoughts.
“Oh.”
Helen skimmed her lips and didn’t speak anymore.
“Complimenting you Uncle Grant and Uncle Raylan like a flower, is it hard to believe they bribed you behind your back?”
Adriana snickered.
“How do you know?”
Helen was pleasantly surprised.
“What do you mean? A real bribe?”
She was just guessing, and she actually hit the nail on the head.
“Uncle Grant said let me say more good things about him, he taught me to play the violin. uncle Raylan can do a lot, what taekwondo, sparring, parkour, racing, street dance, hacking, detective study …”
Helen said a serious, but also stretched out his left hand, a finger counting, the left hand is not enough, replaced with the right hand.
That frame, a big kind of two hands can not count over the meaning.
Adriana didn’t bother to listen to her continue to praise Raylan, and went straight upstairs and left.
“Hey, mommy, wait for me.”
Seeing Adriana running away, Helen immediately chased after her.
Back in the room, Anne and Vivian had already finished washing up.
Several people watched the New Year’s Eve until 12 o’clock, gossiping and chatting, the atmosphere was not bad, except for Adriana and Peter who did not talk much.
“At night Anne and I and Helen, the three of you … and the sofa and the second bedroom, assign yourselves, quilts and all.”
Vivian also did not want to get involved in Peter and Adriana’s business, and directly arranged a room for herself to rest, dragged Helen and Anne to their rooms.
“Er … hello …”
Adriana called out, and the three of them, running fast as thieves, had gone back to their rooms and closed the door.
Helen wanted to say something else, but was directly covered by Vivian, whispering to her not to get involved in things between adults.
“Well …”
Luis yawned, “I’m sleepy too, I’m going to bed. But daddy, mommy, I’m old enough to have personal privacy, so you guys should go out and get a room to sleep in.”
Vivian’s house is three bedrooms and one bathroom, but it is very large, with two large bedrooms with bathrooms, and both have one-meter eight beds.
Luis is creating opportunities for Peter and Adriana with every word he says.
Peter nodded cooperatively, “Luis has been sleeping alone since he was a child and is not used to others sleeping with him.”
In that case, what else can Adriana say?
After all, this side is not a poor country, there are still hotels nearby.
She got up and went out without saying a word.
Seeing this, Peter immediately got up and followed him.
Bang–
The living room door closes.
Adriana turned around and saw Peter, lips slightly open, was about to say something, but all the words came to her lips and swallowed back.
Vivian’s house is not very big, and it is really impossible to sleep with many people.
She is also guilty of not bothering with Peter.
Seeing her turn her head and go downstairs, Peter immediately took out his phone, edited a message in a group and quickly sent it out.
Downstairs, Adriana walked over to her limo and pulled open the door.
Peter then went to the passenger side and pulled the door open.
“What are you doing?”
Adriana glared at him, “Peter, are you done?”
“I … didn’t drive over and happened to run into Harlee and came with him.”
He had his hands on the car door, and as he spoke, he had already gotten into the car.
“You …”
Adriana is in no way to take him, but see the time is very late, finally helpless to get into the car, put on the seat belt, and drive slowly away.
The two sat in the car and the atmosphere was somewhat strained.
Peter reached out and clicked on the music, a soothing tune slowly played, the gentle melody seemed to soothe the irritability for a few moments.
