“Ms. Hale? Already found the lady, did you?”
At this point, Giovanny and Aaren approached, inquiring.
Adriana’s face was clear and cold, her angry gaze on Peter withdrew, and she jowled slightly towards them, “We’ve found her, she’s at Raylan’s, you go over there, guard her secretly, don’t let her get lost again.”
“Good.”
Aaren nodded and left directly with both Giovanny.
Peter stood behind her, his hands in the pockets of his suit pants, his fists tightened, and he hooked his lips in a smile, “So, you won’t be coming to my wedding to Theresa?”
“Why should I participate?”
Adriana laughed.
The smile is contemptuous and mocking, the eyes swirling with watery waves are flooded with pain that cannot be concealed.
In the bottom of her heart, there is that one person who has been rooted for ten years and cannot be forgotten.
Now he’s getting married, and the bride is her former bestie, the father of her child, and the enemy of the family.
With such a complicated relationship, Adriana’s mind was in turmoil and she didn’t know how to take it.
And yet, you have to accept it.
Turn around, stop a car, get in, close the door, the cab starts, and leave in the dust.
Looking at the cab that disappeared from sight, Peter slowly hung his head and let out a long sigh.
“Adriana, this … is actually quite good.”
Peter does not know what to say, although the heart is very sinking, but feel quite good.
…
In the afternoon, Helen was sent to school by Raylan.
Raylan stopped by the Fryer Group to meet with Adriana.
In the office, Adriana looked haggard, plus the last injury had not yet healed, and a morning of tossing and turning was really hard enough.
“Is it okay?”
The man came in, holding a bouquet of flowers in his arms, well-dressed, glowing and handsome.
“There you are.”
Adriana got up and looked at the flowers he was holding in his arms and couldn’t help herself, “Don’t be so vulgar, send flowers every day, don’t you find it meaningless.”
“Flowers with beautiful women, a perfect match.”
Handing the color demon girl to her arms, “Can’t you see I’m courting you? You can’t keep pretending to be confused to perfume me.”
He reached out and pointed to himself, “I Raylan jade tree, handsome, handsome, like my women tend to like me, so easy to look at one person, and was ignored, where can I put my face?”
Raised his eyebrows, that frowns with a little gangster and evil look, very tantalizing.
But Adriana couldn’t be happier.
Maybe it’s because of Peter, or maybe it’s because of the two kids.
Ultimately, the space in the heart is small, but there is too much to hold.
“So unhappy because Peter and Theresa are getting married?”
“You know about it too?”
“What do you mean, I know about it? The Alston family has already said that they are going to have a big wedding, a big wedding.”
Raylan spoke without forgetting to survey the transformation of Adriana’s complexion.
Noticing a slight sinking of her little face, she knew what was going on.
“You … actually still can’t let go of Peter, right?”
He took a step, slyly walked to the sofa and sat down, crossing his legs, sitting all through a dominant posture.
Adriana bristled, placed the flowers on the table, walked to the water fountain and poured a glass of water and handed it to him, “Who said that, how could it be.”
With or without, she won’t admit it.
“Still not admit it, you think I really can’t see it?”
“I’m just having heart palpitations from what happened to Helen and it’s scaring me. Back in Waverly for over six months, she’s been good and obedient, and today was a bit of an anomaly.”
As a parent, Adriana is not worried.
“I can understand how you feel. But Helen is an obedient girl, so don’t worry too much.”
“What did she say to you today?”
“She said …”
Raylan spread his hands and said helplessly, “Saying that you and Peter are not suitable, saying that she has not been happy in The Alston family for so many years. Said that Peter and Theresa are getting married and have a baby, and that she and Luis won’t keep their status and won’t be pampered by you guys anymore. Also said …”
The hand waved, “It says a lot.”
Hearing his words, Adriana drops her delicate little face in frustration, “I’m the one who’s sorry for the kids and let them down.”
“So have you ever thought that maybe you’re really caring by staying with Peter and giving them a full home?”
“What?”
Adriana was surprised, never expecting Raylan to say that.
The man raised an eyebrow, “I Raylan like a woman is always big and generous, will not have any unorthodox means. I do not think Helen does not dislike Peter, but based on the relationship between you and Peter, so she can not accept Peter. helen heart is more in love with you, or she cares more about your feelings.”
At that, Adriana’s eyes are a little misty as she gazes at the hot tea that is smoking on the low table, lost in thought.
“Don’t you ever mention Peter again, we’re not going to make it.”
Adriana shook her head, got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, wrapped her arms around her chest, looked out the window, and didn’t say another word.
“I know that it is inappropriate for me to say these things. I also know what happened between the Soto family and The Alston family, I don’t know much about it, but I generally understand some of it. But Adri, that’s a lifetime of feud between them, when will the injustice be done? Are you going to use your now precious youth as a bargaining chip to get back at The Alston family, and then live the rest of your life in misery?”
In the end, Raylan still knows Adriana well enough to know that she is a good-hearted girl, not a vindictive person.
If not, she would have gone after Theresa and The Alston family long after she returned to Waverly.
“Raylan, you don’t know anything.”
Adriana’s tone was slightly heavy, “I don’t need you to interfere in my affairs with Peter. If you mention one more word about him, from now on, we will no longer be friends.”
“Got it, got it, no more, no more.”
Raylan waved his hand, conceding defeat and surrender.
She has said so, Raylan if continue, will certainly offend the little woman.
That’s a lost cause and a lost cause.
“By the way, I heard that someone from Obren’s side is out there, are you the one who found it?”
“You’re so well-informed?”
“That’s natural.”
The corners of Raylan’s lips lifted in an arc and he smiled brightly, “There’s really nothing I don’t know about Raylan.”
“Really?”
“Naturally, it’s true.”
He is extremely confident.
Said the man, blushing and shaking his head again in denial, “Of course, not everything is known. I was just kidding.”
Although he has the title of ‘Little Spirit’, there are some things he doesn’t always know.
For example, the relationship between Peter and FE is not very clear to him until now.
Just know that Peter hides very deep, this person is not simple.
Adriana gave him a blank look and didn’t say another word.
With Raylan gone for the afternoon, Adriana buried herself in work and waited until she contacted Alvin before leaving work for the evening.
An appointment was made to meet at the address.
In a Japanese restaurant.
Adriana doesn’t like Japanese food, but she has eaten at many restaurants and came here today for a change.
Inside the box, after waiting for a while, Alvin appeared.
Walking up to her, he greeted her, sat down on his knees, and smiled gently, “Why did you think of looking for me?”
