He reached out and pulled the bedding for her, tucking in the corners, before he extinguished the bedroom light and walked out.
As the door to the room gently fell, the dark night, the little woman on the bed opened her eyes …
Early morning, seven o’clock.
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, to welcome the New Year, the sound of firecrackers outside has not stopped from five o’clock until now.
Adriana didn’t sleep for a while at all.
Finally struggling to get up, he washed up in the bathroom before walking out.
“Up?”
Peter stood at the window, listening to the slightest sound, and looked back at her with clear eyes, “Adri, good morning.”
A ‘good morning’ is owed for five years.
Good Morning~
A simple and casual phrase that makes Adriana inexplicably feel somewhat ambiguous.
“Pack up and go to Vivian’s house.”
She said in a cold voice.
The man stood there, looking her up and down, and couldn’t help but say: “On the 16th of the first month, the Soto family will hold a banquet, and your identity will be announced to the media at that time. You are a daughter, after all, paper can’t cover the fire, so why not put down all you have and face it openly? So many people already know your identity, do you think Brenden is so smart that he won’t know?”
Pointing to a side table, “I’ve prepared ladies’ clothes for you, change.”
Following the direction he was pointing, Adriana looked over and there were several brand new women’s outfits on the table.
Inner . Clothes, autumn clothes, warm clothes, sweaters, down jackets, scarves, knitted hats.
It can be said to be fully prepared.
Adriana, with a tangle in her heart, said, “No.”
Carrying a man’s shoulder bag, he packed his things and walked away.
Peter is a close second.
Out of the hotel, standing at the front door of the hotel, there was a bitter cold wind whistling, cold wind like a knife, scraping the face pain.
Looking around, the large town, silver, snow-capped, deep snow on the ground, the world of snow and ice is beautiful and flawless, like walking into a fairy tale.
“Sudden snowstorm, all departments are on vacation, naturally no one to clear the road. So …”
Peter pointed to the street in the distance, “Not to mention that the car is out of gas, now it is simply impossible to drive. We even walk back to … is very difficult.”
And pointed to the sidewalk on one side.
Adriana took a look and her little face instantly dropped.
Thick snow, almost knee-deep, difficult to walk.
Here is two or three miles from Vivian’s house, think about walking over … she suddenly some despair.
“On the first day of the year, Luis and Helen were both at her house, so naturally we had to go.”
Adriana lifted her foot to leave.
“Wait.”
Peter pulled her back and handed her the box he had been carrying in his hand, “Change, or else your clothes will be all wet by the time you walk to Vivian’s.”
“What?”
“Boots.”
“Oh.”
Once heard the boots, Adriana is not pretentious to do, took it over and opened the box, which was placed inside the soft rubber black disposable boots.
No, shoe covers to be exact.
It works well.
Both of them put on their shoe covers and stepped in the snow, one step at a time with great difficulty.
The two were very quiet all the way, and no one spoke.
It was Adriana who slowed down her pace as she walked, and Peter noticed that she had fallen behind and looked back at her, “Why aren’t you walking?”
Adriana stood in the snow, holding a ball of snow in her hand and squeezing it into a snowball.
Pressing down one by one, the snowball gets tighter and tighter, but Adriana’s shadowy expression makes it a little creepy to watch.
Especially with his eyes fixed on him unblinkingly, he shouted, “Peter.”
“Hmm?”
Bang–
Peter answered, and before the end of a word could fall, Adriana took a snowball and smashed it directly into his face.
Fast, hard and accurate!
And of course, it hurts.
“Hiss~”
The man reached out in pain and covered his face, unsure of what to do.
“Lying to me?”
She murmured, lifted her feet, and stepped in the snow with a crisp, crunching sound.
It took a dozen steps to get to Peter, eyes slightly narrowed, looking at him, “Didn’t you say you couldn’t find a hotel? Didn’t you say you had no place to sleep?”
“Yes … yes, you also listen to the hotel front desk … snap!”
Peter pale and feeble explanation, Adriana slapped him directly on the face, stored enough force, hit the raw pain.
“Explain my ass! You and the receptionist are simply in cahoots, saying that there is no place to stay, who are you fooling? Do you think I’m stupid?”
She leaned over, lifted her feet, ripped off the soft boots that covered her shoes, and smashed them directly into his arms, “Take your stuff and get as far away from me as you can!”
Because she hadn’t slept all night, Adriana’s mind wasn’t very clear, so she didn’t think much of the things Peter had prepared for her.
But now that I think about it, all the malls are closed and he has prepared all his clothes and shoes in just over two hours.
If you don’t have your own power and connections, how can you get brand new brand new clothes on New Year’s Eve?
How dare you lick your face and tell her that there is no place to sleep!
Adriana feels like a really big idiot, being mercilessly consumed with sympathy by Peter!
The woman was furious, and Peter couldn’t care less, even though he felt his face hurt.
He turned and followed up, “Adri, let me explain, I …”
Peter tugged on her sleeve, Adriana’s pace lurched, her stern eyes fixed on his hand tugging on her arm, and she frowned, “Let go.”
At the sound of his voice, the man seemed to be electrocuted and quickly withdrew his hand.
“I know that’s bad …, but I …”
“Shut up, I don’t want to hear your bullshit. Say one more word and either you get out or I’ll go!”
Adriana left a message and left in a huff.
Just like a little daughter-in-law who was angry Peter followed pathetically, and did not dare to say anything more, just followed her quietly.
Ouch. …
Peter reached up and touched his nose, and was hit impartially on the bridge of his nose by the snowball Adriana pinched just now, and it hurt like hell.
Then reached out and touched the cheek she had hit, and it was hot and sore.
It was just two days of being slapped by her twice.
Peter is a bit …
…
More than forty minutes later.
But it is just a few miles, originally a quick walk back, but because the snow is very thick, it took as much as forty minutes.
“Daddy, Mommy, you’re back at last.”
“Mommy, my sister-in-law cooked dumplings today.”
“There was a snowstorm outside and you walked back?”
Several people asked them one by one.
Adriana removed the scarf from her neck and nodded, “It’s so snowy, I guess it’s hard to even think about going back to Waverly.”
“What are you afraid of? After all, it’s vacation time now, so it’s good to stay here for a few more days.” Anne walked up to Adriana, raised her eyebrows and smiled, glanced at Peter out of the corner of her eye, and gestured something to Adriana with deep meaning.
Adriana gave her a blank look, “Eat!”
When I walked into the kitchen, they had already made a large pot of dumplings.
It is customary here to eat dumplings on the first day of the New Year.
By noon, the snow had stopped.
The relevant departments were out in force and started clearing and plowing snow on a large scale.
