It always felt as if he had something to hide.
“Go ahead.”
“I wish …”
Peter walked up to Anne and muttered something in a low voice to her.
I saw Anne’s pupils gradually dilate, extremely surprised to look at the look of a cold Peter, pursed his lips, the words to the mouth or swallowed back.
…
The next day.
After Adriana returned from dropping the kids off at school, she took Anne to the airport, and Vivian tagged along.
“Anne, you can finally be yourself after we’re not around.”
Adriana pursed her lips and walked up and gave her a big hug, “Ugh, what are you talking about, I’m just going back to LA for now, it’s not like I’m not coming back.”
“We’re all going to miss you.” Adriana yields.
Vivian came over and hugged the two of them, “I don’t know when the three of us will get together next. I’ll miss you too, Anne, and maybe I’ll come to you after a while.”
Anne let go of the two of them, reached out and pinched Vivian’s cheeks and admonished, “Take good care of Adri, she’s so busy every day and can’t take care of herself, I’m not even sure.”
“Go aside, how can I not be able to take care of myself when I’m so grown up?”
Adriana gave Anne a blank look, “It’s you, you’re not too young, hurry up and find someone to marry yourself off.”
“Worry about yourself.”
A few people flirted with you and me.
Shortly afterwards, a beep sounded in the lounge and Anne’s flight started ticketing.
The three of them hugged tightly again before leaving.
Adriana and Vivian both stood and watched Anne enter security before turning to leave.
She wrapped her arms around Vivian’s neck and said as she walked, “I thought we agreed to go to Los Angeles, why didn’t you go?”
“I can’t let you go, is this reason enough?”
Vivian laughed after her.
Even though she doesn’t say it, Adriana knows that Vivian has something on her mind.
But since she didn’t want to talk about it, Adriana didn’t ask more questions.
Take her home.
But instead, theyfound the Soto family at the entrance of the neighborhood.
Old Mr. Soto and Harlee.
“What brings you here?”
Adriana parked the car and Vivian was the first to leave with a wink.
Instead, she walked up to the two men, without addressing them, and asked directly about the situation.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to be polite, but when faced with them, Adriana doesn’t know how to speak, or swallows many words that come to her lips.
Difficult to say.
“Adri, before handing over the Fryer Group to you to take care of, after you were injured you did not let you work so hard. Now that you’re back, why don’t you go back to take care of the company, and you’ll need to take over the other companies one after another in the future.”
The old man saw Adriana open the door and talked about the situation, not caring whether Adriana was injured or not.
It was Harlee who said, “Grandpa, Adri’s body has not recovered yet, you let her go to the company now, I’m afraid her body can’t bear it.”
Harlee was genuinely worried about Adriana’s health, knowing that she had not yet recovered from her serious injuries and would not be able to withstand the intense work of the company.
Old Mr. Soto glanced at Harlee, “Adri has been off for more than half a month, with her ability is not even in the picture.”
“But Grandpa …”
Harlee was at a loss, and with a worried look at Adriana, she spoke to the old man and explained, but before she could finish her sentence, he interrupted.
Old Mr. Soto raised his hand and said, “Only when you have suffered can you become a man of the world. Now you are still young and you are raising yourself so pretentiously, you are bound to suffer later. Grandpa is a man of the past, he has seen more than you.”
That means it’s an opportunity to exercise Adriana and make her suffer more.
This shows that it is also a stern old man.
The initial intention was good.
Adriana stood quietly, listening to the two of them, her eyebrows slightly furrowed in thought.
Slowly hanging his head, silent for a few seconds, he said, “Okay, I’m willing to go back to the company.”
“Hahahaha, my Quintin’s granddaughter is a woman of honor.” Old Mr. Soto smiled brightly and was in a good mood.
“Adri, you haven’t recovered from your injuries until now, don’t fool around.”
In the end, it’s a girl, no need to be so hard on yourself.
Harlee feels very ashamed of Adriana and naturally wants to give her a better life in the future, so she doesn’t want her to wear herself out.
“Is there anything else?”
Adriana didn’t answer Harlee’s question with a cool attitude.
The indifferent tone is full of detachment and indifference, does not contain any emotion, but seems to have a few mechanical.
Old Mr. Soto’s cloudy and shining eyes flashed and he nodded, “You go back to rest and rest and officially return to work at Fryer Group tomorrow.”
After saying that, the old man turned around and walked away.
As he walked away, he added, “No need to disguise yourself again when you get back to the office, you are you.”
The idea is to let her be herself and let everyone know that she, Adriana, has taken over the Fryer Group.
Old Mr. Soto left, and Harlee is still standing in the same place.
Adriana scanned him with an indifferent look, turned around and left directly.
There was absolutely no desire to talk to him.
“Adri?”
Harlee called out.
“Something wrong?” She stared back.
“I …”
The words were spoken with a desire to stop.
He took a step to stand in front of her, raised his hand and scratched his head, “Grandpa is a strong natured person, very harsh on himself, so it is inevitable that he will also be harsh on you. You should not take it to heart. However, your body has not yet recovered, I do not recommend that you return to the company, it is better to rest for a while. Grandpa’s side, I will help you talk.”
“No need.”
Coldly refuse.
Dry and decisive.
“Is there anything else?” At the end, Adriana asked again.
Just that a fine skin such as good sheep’s jade cheeks do not contain a trace of warmth, only cold as the coldness of the ice, rejecting people in a thousand miles away.
It was even very resistant to Harlee.
“I know what I did before you are haunted, but can you give me a chance to repent? Adri, what exactly do you have to do to forgive brother?”
He helplessly reached out and covered his chest, helplessly.
“Why should I give you a chance?”
Adriana still has an icy attitude, eyebrows wrinkled and wrinkled, slowly said: “Harlee, life is no chance to start over.”
The words fell, she withdrew her gaze and went into the neighborhood without looking back.
“Adri? Adri?”
Harlee stood behind her and called out a few more times, but Adriana didn’t care.
Such a stalemate left Harlee very passive.
It was hard to find my long-lost sister, and I wanted to make up for the past ruthlessly, but I couldn’t find any entry point.
Harlee, somewhat frustrated, got into her car and left in a huff.
At home, Anne is gone, and the lively atmosphere is a bit silent.
Adriana closed the door, sighed, dragged her tired body towards the sofa, sat down lazily and leaned on the sofa to close her eyes and sleep.
Want to be left alone.
“I told you to leave me alone, don’t you understand Edward, don’t you go too far! I …”
Adriana hadn’t been quiet for a few minutes when she heard indistinct talking from the bedroom with the closed door, a little louder and no clearer than the words ‘Edward’.
