Adriana clearly disagrees.
“So what do you mean … you’re coming back to stay with Luis?”
Adri’s smile emerged on the man’s timelessly cold face.
Adriana, with the hindsight of being counted by Peter, skimmed her lips and didn’t dare to answer.
“What if you come back, then Luis will be at home from now on. If you don’t come back, I’ll send Luis over to Hank.”
Peter sounded like he was informing Adriana, not asking for her opinion at all.
“Daddy, what am I going to do when you send Luis there?”
Helen walked up to Peter, “I can’t let go of Luis.”
“So you’re giving up on Daddy? You’re always trying to find a new boyfriend for your mommy, and sooner or later you’ll have to separate from Luis when the time comes.”
After the man finished, he looked at Luis fervently and asked, “Don’t you think so?”
Luis, intelligent and resourceful, immediately agreed, “Well, yes.”
Luis, who was wearing a blue plaid suit with a tie around his neck, nodded in a serious manner and said seriously, “Helen, if you don’t like me and Daddy, you have to get used to it as soon as possible. Otherwise, one day you will be separated from us and will definitely cry.”
“I …”
Helen was at a loss for words, not knowing how to retort, and looked at Adriana for help.
Adriana immediately looked away and looked elsewhere, “I’m tired, I need to sleep, you guys play.”
Flee the battlefield and head straight for the bedroom.
Seeing this, Peter followed.
Adriana was about to close the door when Peter stuck one foot in, she couldn’t close the door and looked back to find him following her, “What are you doing?”
“I have something to tell you.”
Peter pushed the door open hard, squeezed in, and closed it.
The little woman lazily walked over to the dressing table in the bedroom and sat down, with a stern face, “Say something straight.”
“This is for you, it should work for you.”
The man walked up to her and placed the white medicine bottle on the table, “Although I don’t know exactly what your condition is, I asked, and with proper conditioning, the insomnia can be cured.”
Adriana glanced at the bottle on the table, not realizing that Peter had found out about her insomnia that day in the hotel and actually bought her the medicine himself.
“Take it away, I can’t use it.”
Adriana pulled out another vial from her pocket and placed it on the table, deliberately next to the bottle of medicine Peter had brought, “Raylan sent it to me, imported medicine.”
She was intentionally irritating Peter.
Surprisingly, Peter smiled instead of being angry, “It’s good, willing to buy you medicine means that you care about you. What do you want to eat tonight? I bought the ingredients to make it quickly.”
Previously, Peter was very much against her close relationship with Raylan and the two of them.
This time, uncharacteristically, nothing was said?
Adriana couldn’t figure out what Peter meant and didn’t bother to look into it.
“Do whatever you want, I don’t have an appetite.”
With Jenkins two in the hotel after dinner has been two o’clock in the afternoon, busy for a while to rush back, now four or five o’clock time, her stomach has not digested the food yet.
So indifferent attitude, it is obvious through the detachment.
Didn’t even want to bullshit with Peter.
Peter knows what he means, but pretends not to know.
Walked to the bed and sat down, “Is the contract ready?”
“What contract?”
Adriana was a little confused and immediately remembered that it was about Helen’s custody, “How am I supposed to trust you?”
Feel that there is no trust established between the two now.
Worried that after living with Peter, in case he is eaten up, will not …
But that was before, and if it were now, it would not win Peter, but at least it would not put itself at too much of a disadvantage.
“What are you afraid of?”
Peter asked rhetorically.
“I …”
She lowered her head, hesitated a bit, and then said, “I can promise you, but you need to meet my first three conditions. And the most important …”
“Hmm?”
The man waited quietly for her terms.
“You must …”
When the words came to her lips, Adriana looked at him with a flickering gaze and looked away, “Nothing.
She wanted to ask what was going on with Peter’s headaches and hot and cold spells at the Asnana Hotel earlier.
“I promise you. But, not now.”
“When?”
“The day of the sixteenth.”
“Sixteen?”
Peter gazed at her with a hint of inquiry in his eyes and smiled readily, “Okay, it’s a deal.”
On the 16th day of the first month, the Soto family will announce that she is the heir of the Soto family and everyone will know about it.
Adriana has no power behind her and does not want to go to the Soto family, which is why she agreed to start a formal engagement with him on the 16th day of the first month.
After the talk, the room fell silent again for a moment.
The atmosphere was one of formality and awkwardness.
“You rest for a while while I … go prepare dinner.”
The man gets up and leaves the bedroom.
Because of the New Year, the sound of firecrackers continued every day, and Adriana really did not sleep.
Even the bottle of medicine that you went to get yourself was only available in the morning.
Adriana felt very poor mental state, poured two sleeping pills from the bottle and swallowed them directly raw, then lay down on the bed and slept.
Knock Knock-
I don’t know how long I slept, but there was a knock on the door outside.
Adriana Fang woke up with a groggy brain.
“Have you slept, it’s time to get up and eat.”
Peter, wearing an apron, stood by the bed, looking at her with a soft face, “Cooked everything you like to eat, get up and eat some.”
“Well … sleepy and don’t want to eat.”
With the medication, Adriana was finally able to get some sleep and really didn’t want to get up.
Peter looked back at the dressing table, the one vial had obviously been moved, and knew that Adriana had drunk the medicine.
“Then you sleep and eat when you wake up.”
Peter pulled the bedding for her and covered it.
That’s what left.
Peter walked out of the room, closing the door with a small sound, but Adriana’s closed eyes opened.
Through the window, looking at the early lights, the lights are gorgeous, some mixed feelings.
Having left The Alston family far away back then, she is now willing to make a sham deal with Peter in order to take custody of Helen.
Adriana was helpless.
Whether it’s the Soto family or The Alston family, she doesn’t have an absolute power struggle, she just goes around the bend.
Not long after, the smell of food came from outside.
You can smell it through the door.
Grunt-
The stomach is indisputably singing an empty city.
Adriana rolled over and looked over, only a faint light could be seen coming through a closed door.
In the end, she didn’t get up.
Because she didn’t know what mood to face Peter in, or maybe she wasn’t mentally prepared for it.
Lying in bed, Adriana idly played with her phone, swiped Twitter, and watched the negative gossip about The Alston family with great interest.
At this time the door knocked and Mu Anne walked in, “Want to get up for dinner? It’s so late.”
“No, I’m not hungry.”
“What are you pretending for? Peter and the two kids are gone.”
“Gone?”
Adriana inclined her head and looked at the living room, it was indeed empty, even the sound was gone. “It’s better if they go back, finally a little quiet.”
“You’re just a knife’s mouth and a bean curd’s heart. Still can not understand you.”
