Snort–
Adriana slammed her foot on the brake, “Have you two had enough of arguing?”
She looked back at the two children and growled, but the words went out with some regret.
Looking at the two well-behaved and lovely children, every one of them is for her own good, can’t help but a sour heart.
Why is that?
When she couldn’t see the child, she thought that since she appeared as ‘Lawson’, she would complete Harlee’s mission and leave.
But when she met her two children, the unbreakable love in her bones for them disrupted all her plans.
Adriana doesn’t want to leave.
“Luis, Helen, a thousand wrongs are bad for daddy, but everyone has their own choice, so we respect your mommy’s idea, OK?”
He turned back, looked at the two children, and said soothingly, “But no matter what, we’re all family.”
The two men’s words calmed a verbal battle.
Silence returned to the car.
Adriana was so irritated that she didn’t speak all the way to the city center.
Stopped at a mall, the four got out, Adriana holding Luis on her left hand and Helen on her right, the three mothers were very amicable.
Peter followed closely behind, accompanying Adriana to buy clothes for the children.
He is only responsible for the checkout and carrying things.
Seeing Adriana picking out clothes for her children, watching them try on the clothes, then looking left and right, and commenting on them, it was really a kind of ‘family’ warmth and harmony.
It is a beauty that Peter has not felt for many years.
At that moment, a different life made him experience a different kind of happiness.
Peter looked at the three mothers, the corners of his lips could not help but rise, and he did not even know he was smiling.
That smile, from the heart, but with a few hidden sourness.
After shopping for children’s clothing and buying clothes for the two children, Peter carried a large bag and pointed to the women’s clothing in front of him and said, “Go shopping and also buy you a few pieces of clothing.”
“Yes, yes, Mommy, we’ve bought them all, and we haven’t bought you any clothes yet.”
“Come on, mommy, let’s go check it out.”
The two children said as they pulled her along.
Adriana shook her head, “No, Mommy has clothes to wear.”
Rejection from the heart.
Peter tent to his left hand a couple of paper carrier bags he was carrying, walked to Adriana’s side and took her hand, “Here, look.”
And so Adriana was dragged into the women’s clothing brand store.
“Welcome, is the gentleman picking out a dress for his wife?”
The store assistant came up and asked about it.
“Yes, help me pick out some clothes that will fit her.” Peter instructed.
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
The shopper took a look at Adriana’s figure and went over to pick out her dress.
It was Adriana who had a stern face, “I said I don’t need to buy clothes, I have them.”
“It’s not like daddy bought the clothes you have.”
“That’s what it is.”
On this matter, Luis and Helen have a rare unity of opinion.
“This way please lady, this way are the latest clothes, you …”
The shop assistant pointed to the new clothes over there, and before she could finish her sentence, Adriana walked out of the store, and Luis and Helen immediately went after her.
“Mommy, don’t you go.”
“Wait for me, Mommy.”
Three people left, Peter went over and took a look at the new section over there, “This one, this one, this one, these three, and the one over there, all packed.”
In the many years since the sale of clothes, the first time to encounter such a generous big money maker, the shopper’s eyes are bright, immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, I will immediately pack for you.”
You should know that these clothes add up to more than a million, her monthly commission is a considerable amount of money.
Peter swiped his card at the front desk, put the clothes in his hand together here, and wrote down the address, “At five o’clock in the afternoon, deliver the clothes to this address.”
There is a phone number under the residence address, and the notes are very detailed.
“Yes, sir, we’ll be sure to deliver it on time.”
“Hmm.”
Peter took care of that and then went after the three of them.
At noon, a private room was booked in a Chinese restaurant, and the family of four dined together.
“Look, what do you want to eat, order it yourselves. Today is Mommy’s treat.” Adriana took the menu, sat between the two children, looked at it, and chose a few nutritious dishes.
“Okay.”
After ordering, he handed the menu to Peter, who randomly chose a few dishes and handed them to the waiter.
Because it is a high-end private Chinese restaurant, there are sofas and TVs set up on the side. The two children were a little bored waiting for the food to be served, so they went to sit and watch TV.
“Hey, Helen, is your name Naughty? Why do you grab everything from me?”
“Who told you to always watch some messy tech space show, it’s not good at all.”
“What do you know, you little brat?”
“Ch, it is clear that you are not interesting.”
…
Adriana was about to stop the two kids from chattering, when Peter said, “They’re all like that at home. Don’t worry about it, you’re used to it.”
At his words, Adriana shut up.
Just two people sitting dry, there is nothing to talk about, but the atmosphere is unusually awkward.
“I bought the house above your house in your name, Helen is living with you, Luis will not be used to it, so recently I plan to let Luis live there too. They are still young and need a transition process.”
Peter took the initiative to speak up and break the awkward atmosphere.
“So … your mom’s side is okay with it?”
She was happy to have her two children living with her.
“I’ll talk to them.”
“That’s fine. How much is the house, and I’ll transfer the money to you.”
In her current financial situation, she doesn’t need Peter to buy her a house.
“I bought it for my two kids, I’m their daddy, it’s all the right thing to do.”
Such a reason gave Adriana no way to refuse and had to accept it.
Knock Knock-
As the two were talking, there was a knock on the door outside.
Helen, who was watching TV, jumped up, “I’ll get the door.”
Cheerfully ran over and opened the door to see, “Hee hee … Uncle Raylan you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time.”
The man standing at the door was Raylan!
“What brings you here?”
Adriana looked at the man holding a bouquet of bright roses at the door and subconsciously looked at Peter, who shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know either.
“Hee hee, Mommy, I’m the one who asked Uncle Raylan to come.”
Helen walked in holding Raylan and looked up at him, “Uncle Raylan, you just send a bouquet of flowers? It’s too … low, right?”
Raylan, wearing a black trench coat, with short textured hair and silver cross earrings, stood in front of Adriana, his eyes glanced at Peter, and seeing him silent with his head down, he handed out the flowers in his hand, “Here, this is for you.”
Blue wrapping paper tied with a bouquet of blooming bewitchingly gorgeous red roses, dotted with a sky full of stars, sprayed with water droplets falling on the drawing board, crystal clear and shiny, very beautiful.
