After saying that, she gave Luis an unexpectedly long look and walked over to hug him, “Good boy, baby, Mommy will come back to pick you up.”
“Mommy, I can’t let you go.” Luis’ bleary-eyed, pitiful look stirs the heart.
Mrs. Alston couldn’t stand it and took Luis into her arms, “Come here, you child, you have no conscience at all. Your mommy has never raised you since you were born, I have brought you up with my own hands, and you are now looking out for her.”
Mrs. Alston is well aware of this, which is why she feels aggrieved and a little jealous.
I always feel that my heart and soul to Luis, but in the end can not withstand the words of my own mother.
Luis didn’t cry and didn’t make a fuss.
Just inclined his head to look at Peter, shrugged off Mrs. Alston’s hand, and went upstairs with a grunt.
Adriana watched the children trot all the way upstairs, very distressed, but also did not say anything.
“Helen, let’s go.”
Adriana rubbed Helen’s head and led her away.
Helen has no attachment to this home, so much so that people leave without looking back.
After watching Adriana and Helen and Giovanny, who appeared in the doorway, leave, Peter withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs.
“Stop right there!”
Mrs. Alston yelled and walked up to Peter and blocked his way, “You son of a bitch, did you hear what I just said to you, Theresa is now more than a month pregnant and the baby is hard to come by. You know she had a uterus transplant, it was hard to get pregnant, the baby must stay.”
She is heartfelt and fond of Theresa, thinking that this child is up to the task, will please people and is very good at what she does.
Peter placed his hands in the pockets of his suit pants and his eyes were cold to the core.
Turning back, the obscure gaze scanned Theresa and lifted her feet up the steps without saying anything.
“Hey, you dead boy, did you hear what I said?” Mrs. Alston jumped in anger.
Seeing this scene, Theresa could not ignore the scene, so she held back her despair for Peter and went to Mrs. Alston, took her hand, smiled gently and said soothingly, “Godmother, it’s okay, some things can’t be rushed.”
Mrs. Alston sighed and looked at her, “You’re the only silly girl who thinks of others every day.”
“Nowhere.”
With a deliberate pout, she couldn’t help but glance up at Peter, who was heading upstairs, and then helped Mrs. Alston to sit down on the sofa.
Knock Knock-
Peter, who was standing at the door of the room on the third floor, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Then pushed the door and walked in, closing it again.
In the bedroom, Luis sat in front of the computer, his ten fingers flying over the keyboard, crackling and fast.
The computer screen is like a blue screen, there is a series of similar garbled numbers and English jumping around.
Peter frowned and walked over, leaning against the table and looking at him, “Angry?”
“I don’t understand why you’re targeting Mommy so much? You’re only pushing her further and further away.” Luis said with a beak, but his hands didn’t stop.
“How can I not know what you can know?”
Peter raised his hand and rubbed Luis’ head, “Daddy promises you that you will return to Mommy after the case is over.”
The hands that were still crackling and tapping on the keyboard suddenly stopped.
Luis looked at him incredulously, “Daddy, what do you mean? Is it hard to say that Theresa has a baby and you really don’t want me to be with Helen?”
He was a little unhappy.
The childish words made Peter laugh.
“In your mind, Daddy is this kind of person?”
“Of course not. But I just don’t understand why you’re doing this?”
“No need for a reason, you just need to know that your mommy and I love you both.”
“Oh.”
For Peter’s hidden secrets, Luis was curious, but did not pursue.
Could not help but sigh, elbows propped up on the desktop, a long sigh, “You always do things so mysteriously, mommy will definitely misunderstand you.”
Saying that, he miso stood up, wrinkling his eyebrows at Peter, “Daddy, Theresa really want to give me a brother? You … you are too sorry for mommy.”
Peter’s eyes flashed slightly and he shook his head.
…
Leaving Orchard House, Adriana was once again devastated and silent on the way.
Helen took her hand tightly and said soothingly, “Mommy, don’t be sad, even without Daddy and Luis, there’s still me. I will always be with you.”
The warmth of the little cotton coat is very sweet.
Adriana smiled bitterly and patted the back of her hand, and did not say anything.
Giovanny, who was driving in the front row, occasionally looked through the rearview mirror to observe the change in mood of the woman behind him, and did not make any reaction.
Back at home, the family dined together.
Then the tutor came over to tutor Helen while Adriana studied upstairs with Aaren until the tutoring was completed.
Adriana Fang watched TV with Helen for a while, then washed up and went to bed.
After putting the little girl to bed, Adriana closed the door, went downstairs, and returned to her bedroom.
Recently too many things have happened, Adriana felt that everything has long been beyond her ability to bear, but their ability is limited, unable to change everything.
One can only choose to accept it in silence.
Perhaps, this is the life.
That night, Adriana stayed up late and still had insomnia.
According to normal circumstances, took sleeping pills closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.
At some point in her sleep, she suddenly woke up.
In the darkness of the night, her eyes blinked and she reached out and touched the phone at her bedside, waking up just over an hour after she had just taken her medication.
After that, never fell asleep again.
At 5:00 am, run with Aaren for an hour and play loose for an hour.
Bought breakfast, went back and took Helen to wash up, eat and go to school.
Everything is as it should be.
It’s just that God is always so unlucky that the two of them just arrived at school and met Peter dropping Luis off.
“Helen?”
“Luis?”
Do not look at the two siblings usually fight, but really separated and miss very much.
Luis waved to Peter and walked over to Helen and Adriana, “Mommy?” Unfolding his arms, he gave her a big hug.
“I’m off to school.”
Without any unnecessary words, he let go of Adriana and went into the school with Helen.
Helen didn’t say hello to Peter until the end.
It’s not that you don’t want to, but your heart gambles, suppressing the emotions and thoughts in your heart.
“Adriana?”
After watching the two children enter the school, Peter walked up to Adriana and called out.
Without even looking at him, Adriana turned around and walked towards the limo.
“Since we’re going to have a lawsuit, do we have to negotiate about child support?” He asked.
“Have your lawyer talk to me.”
Adriana left a message, didn’t look back, got in her car and left.
Peter was left standing alone with a sad frown.
Adriana arrived home and buried herself in some more classes with Aaren, only to have Anne come upstairs at noon and knock on the door to inform her that lawyer Peter was here.
