“Adriana, I …”
“Don’t call me that.”
Adriana shook her head, her tone calm but with a touch of resistance and helplessness. “You don’t deserve it.”
Not worthy.
He doesn’t deserve it?
Peter’s narrow Danfeng eyes flashed with some pain and frowned, “Really want to tit for tat?”
“I’m tit-for-tat?”
Adriana turned around and glared at him with a stern gaze, “You are the one who wants to steal the children from me, you are The Alston family, moreover, the moment you The Alston family let the two children be born, you decided to let them be the bargaining chip. What do you take the children for? Those are two living beings, not a bargaining chip for your The Alston family!”
She had never been so angry, so cranky, as she was today.
Peter was speechless, not knowing how to answer.
After a long moment of silence, Fang said, “How about you can let go of all the unpleasantness between us?”
“Heh heh heh.”
His question made Adriana stifle a laugh, “Letting go of our unpleasantness?”
His eyebrows lightly raised, the irony of his lips showed, “I would like to know, have we ever had pleasant things between us? From the day I met you Peter was in your The Alston family’s calculations, you gave me a thorny path, and now talk to me about pleasant, don’t you think it’s ironic?”
At least Adriana finds it ironic.
Peter looked at him crying and laughing but trying to hide the pain in his heart, his heart slightly flooded with pain.
The eyebrows that fly into the temples wrinkled, and then stretched out.
His thin lips pursed, “What if I give you the two children?”
“Do you think I would believe you.”
Adriana attitude indifferent, looking at him without any trace of emotion in the eyes, cold to the extreme.
“If, I give you the child, to you the Soto family. will you forgive me?”
Suddenly he felt a little naive and childish.
Despite doing something to make Adriana start hating him in the few remaining hours, it was so heartbreaking to find Adriana really wallowing in pain now.
“No need. I’ll see you in court.”
Adriana does not need anyone’s charity, more afraid that the so-called ‘charity’ is a dose of poison, may not be when the effect of the drug, you die.
She turned around, stepping on her heels, making a clattering sound in the quiet room, and brushed past Peter.
Walked resolutely, without even looking back.
Looking at her back, Peter extended his hand, “A…”
A ‘shallow’ word was swallowed back by him.
Stopped in mid-air hand slightly stiff, fingers clenched, slowly retracted.
And at that moment, Adriana dragged her red and swollen ankle to the hospital lobby by elevator.
After the orthopedic treatment, the ankle did not hurt, but it was still swollen, and walking was inevitably a bit uncomfortable.
So it’s not very fast.
At the side of the road, she reached out and stopped a car, opened the door and got in.
“Master, go to …”
Bang–
That’s when suddenly one person sat in the front of the cab and closed the door.
“Peter, what are you doing?”
She didn’t understand what Peter meant by coming with her now.
The man looked back at her, “Adriana, maybe everything was in the plan as you say, but my feelings for my two children are not fake. I was worried when she disappeared, so naturally I had to go along to find her.”
Adriana’s eyes flickered slightly and she said to the driver with a parting glance, “Go to Huaxi Road.”
Aaren called just now and said that she saw Helen on Huaxi Road.
“Okay.”
The cab started slowly and drove slowly all the way.
Peter and Adriana both sat quietly, no one spoke, the atmosphere was weirdly awkward.
…
At the same time.
Tung Wah Mansion.
“So, you just ran over to me in such a huff?”
Raylan stood in front of Helen in a black suit, standing upright with a gentle smile on his face, “Aren’t you afraid your mommy and daddy are worried?”
“They’re not going to worry about it.”
Helen bristled and grunted, “Daddy only has Theresa in his eyes, and Theresa is pregnant, and when the baby is born, he will never love us again.”
Raylan raised an eyebrow and sighed, “Come, come in with your uncle.”
They moved in and took over a month to renovate and are all finished.
Raylan led Helen into the office, “Go sit on the couch and I’ll get you something to eat.”
“Uncle Raylan, no need.”
Helen shakes her head.
“My little apprentice is here, how will Master treat you badly?” He threw a winks towards Helen, smiled and walked out of the office towards the secretary department.
While walking, he called Adriana, and when he answered, he immediately said, “Helen is with me, don’t worry.”
“What, where are you?”
Adriana, angry and helpless, raised her hand to cover her face and sighed.
“You should not rush over now, she is a child, is rebellious growth period, head-on conflict is not good.”
He persuaded Adriana.
“Okay, I got it.”
Adriana promised Raylan.
Raylan instructed his secretary to get something to eat, deliberately reminding not to buy chocolate because the two children were allergic to it.
On this side, Adriana knew that she had just gotten off the bus with Peter and knew that Helen was at Raylan’s place.
Her hanging heart immediately fell, a long sigh of relief.
“Found her?”
Peter saw Adriana stumble and immediately stepped forward to hold her arm and said with concern, “Are you okay?”
Adriana swept her cold eyes at Peter, raised her hand to break away from his and took a step back, “Helen has been found, you can go now.”
She didn’t want to see Peter.
“You’re just going to do this for the rest of your life? Even if the lawsuit is filed and you win or I win, there is still visitation rights to the child. I am still the child’s father and you are still the child’s mother and can never change that. ”
Peter said.
“Yes, you’re right about everything.”
I have to say that Peter’s words are not good, but very factual.
Regardless of which party the court rules in favor of, they are the child’s parents and have the right to visit the child.
Not to mention that the two children are grown up and have their own choice, how can they not meet with Peter?
“But so what? A bastard has no business being the father of a child.”
Adriana pursed her lips, “Peter, as I said, we meet again as enemies. I’m back in the Fryer Group now, do you know why I’m going back?”
“Why?”
Peter’s voice was very soft and gentle as he asked.
“Because I want to give you back all the pain and suffering that you, The Alston family, gave me.” If it’s your own biological parents who were killed by The Alston family.
Adriana may not react too strongly, after all, she does not have any feelings with her parents.
From the beginning, she thought that her parents had abandoned her, and carried more or less disbelief and hatred in her heart.
But when Adriana saw some of the information that Giovanny had sent over, it showed that it wasn’t her mom and dad who had abandoned her, but that she had been set up.
It was at that moment that I felt the pain that ripped through my heart.
Only then did I realize that her life had been so full of ups and downs.
