Interrupting Adriana’s words, Alvin took a sip of tea from his alabaster cup, then heavily placed the cup on the table, “Did you make up with Peter? Why else would you not contact me? Also, did you treat me as a friend? Why didn’t you tell me when something so big happened? You’re from the Soto family, the Soto family’s child, but I still saw it on the news.”
Saying those words, Alvin drunkenly squinted his eyes, his expression pained yet with that piercing smile at all times.
Although it was self-deprecating, it was also a blow to Adriana.
She slowly hung her head, “Senior, I know there are some things I should tell you, I’m sorry that I didn’t have time to tell you because so many things happened recently. In fact, I know about you and Brenda, she is a nice girl, you can also consider it.”
“Don’t mention Brenda to me!”
At the mention of Brenda’s name, Alvin suddenly became angry and brushed the glass off the table.
The cup fell to the ground and shattered with a sound, splashing crumbs everywhere.
Adriana wrinkled her brow and looked straight at Alvin, always feeling that things were not as simple as she thought.
“What’s going on?”
She asked.
Alvin sat on the tai chi chair, then leaned back, head resting on the leaning, closed his eyes and wondered what he was thinking about.
Adriana was a bit baffled, not to mention confused about what Alvin was thinking.
“Hokage?”
Called softly.
Alvin raised his hand, pointed to Adriana and sighed with his eyes closed, “Brenda, I don’t know what kind of person she is, she actually won the old man’s affection and is now forcing us to get married.”
“I don’t like her, no, no!”
Alvin was in pain.
Adriana is a person who has come through, and naturally knows that emotional matters are not forced, so Alvin is now faced with The Grant Family forcing the marriage.
“Senior, you can talk to your family if you don’t like it, some things can always be solved.”
She spoke soothingly.
“How do I fix it?”
He sat up in a flash and looked at Adriana with a cold smile, “I still have a brother, you know?”
“Your brother? Of course I know.”
How could Adriana not know that.
“Actually, there’s a reason my brother hasn’t come back after all these years abroad, he’s sick, cancerous, and is having a bone marrow match. It was such a coincidence that the bone marrow match was similar to Brenda’s, so in return, my parents let her marry Brenda!”
Alvin is a very stubborn person.
His family used to let him inherit the family business, but Alvin stubbornly went to college to become a music professor.
Later also because Adriana and choose to return to The Grant Family, but finally … Adriana almost came together with Peter.
And that’s all that happened with Alvin.
In this regard, Adriana is really grateful and guilty to Alvin.
It’s just that love is not the way to repay someone, but other than that Alvin is well clothed and well off, and Adriana naturally has no way to repay him.
“Have you tried trying with Brenda?”
She asked tentatively.
Alvin shook his head, covered his face with one hand, and did not speak for a long time.
Although Adriana could not see Alvin’s expression, she knew that he was a man of love and hate, and was loyal to his feelings, thus making it very difficult for Adriana.
“I don’t love her. When faced with someone I don’t like, I’d rather be single for the rest of my life than be with her.”
The persistent answer.
Adriana was in a bit of a bind.
She sighed and looked sideways out the window, not knowing what to do.
“Senior, we are really similar. You are faithful to your feelings, and so am I. But in life, there are not so many things that go as planned and perfect. We are both adults and should understand this.”
Adriana really has no choice.
Raising his eyes to lift the bangs on his forehead and pin them behind his ears, he slowly hung his head and said, “I … don’t know how to help you. But … I think the best way is to forget everything that is best.”
“Forget? Oh … how is it possible? Adri, how many years have I known you? More than ten years, if I could forget, I would have forgotten long ago.”
Alvin’s eyes were red, and the man who was so conscious of his appearance had never lost face in front of Adriana, but this time he was actually so disheveled and sloppy.
You can see that it is really in a desperate situation.
“I …”
Adriana’s lips opened, not knowing what to say, and closed her mouth again.
Quietly pick up the tealight in front of him, tasting a mouthful of tea, not in talking.
The box fell silent, but not awkwardly.
“Help me, will you Adri, go talk to Brenda for me and tell her not to be pushing and not to be with me, okay?”
After a long moment of silence, Alvin said what he wanted.
Then, got up and left.
Seeing him stagger away, Adriana did not stop him and sat alone in the booth for a long time before settling the bill and leaving.
Driving down the road, she was surprised to find Alvin sitting alone on a bench by the side of the road, his head unimaginatively buried in his lap, sobbing.
That kind of a man, usually as gentle as jade, temperament, is everyone’s eyes noble prince general man.
And now a few days have not seen, it has ended up in such a situation.
Adriana’s heart was flushed with pain.
Having experienced life and death with Alvin, how could Adriana not know the feelings he had for her?
It’s just that Alvin is not very articulate and would not have acted like a child had he not been drunk today.
Adriana stops the car, pulls out a few tissues and walks over.
“Alvin?”
She called out.
The man’s body stiffened, snapped up his eyes, saw the person standing in front of him was Adriana, immediately stood up, a handful of her into the arms, holding tightly.
“Adri, Adri!”
Alvin hugged her, closed his eyes, rested his chin on her shoulder, and gently rubbed her short hair with one hand, “Why, why is God so unjust? Why did you let me meet you? If life could start over, I really hope not to know you in. You’re the thinnest woman I’ve ever seen.”
His voice was hoarse and choked, falling into Adriana’s ears, it was so heartbreaking.
Alvin’s relationship with her is not ordinary, not a relationship of lovers, but it can be said to be better than a family relationship.
It’s just a pity that …
Some things are not to be forced.
Adriana didn’t say anything and stood quietly, letting him hold her.
“I still remember when I was at school, you were wearing a white shirt, starchy white jeans, tied in a ponytail, standing outside the playground under the mulberry tree, dappled sunlight through the shade fell on you, with a few hazy beauty, is a scene that I will never forget in this life.”
It was at that time that Adriana’s appearance was forever etched into his mind.
“I know it’s not fair to you this way, I’ve tried to forget, but there’s simply nothing I can do. adri, why is this happening?”
He murmured alone.
Adriana wanted to calm him down, but didn’t know how to say anything.
“Alvin, let me take you back.”
