“None of them want to hear it.”
Adriana just listened to Peter’s words just now to know that the discs must be some old discs, the songs are naturally very old.
I don’t really listen to it.
The man seemed to have spied her mind and immediately said, “The top shelf is full of popular songs, which I got someone to customize.”
“Hmm?”
Adriana looked over to where he was pointing, put a row of discs, looked through them and saw that there were indeed some modern pop songs.
Especially the piano piece “Dream Wedding” is Adriana’s favorite.
She remembers that Alvin used to like this song so much that he took her with him to listen to it, and from then on it was an unstoppable love.
“You … like it too?”
Peter replaced the disc, turned on the gramophone, and the melody flowed slowly from the player designed like a marionette.
“Who likes it too?”
Adriana heard the meaning of Peter’s words.
“A lot of people like it.”
He didn’t tell Adriana that Alvin liked it too.
Just want to keep some things inside.
Peter couldn’t forgive himself for thinking that Alvin knew that Adriana liked those tunes, but he didn’t know anything about them.
Can’t forgive myself.
He looked at her and she looked at him.
It is clear that there is each other in each other’s eyes, just from each other’s eyes you can see if there is love in the heart.
But each withdrew their gaze, went to the sofa, and sat on their respective sides in unspoken agreement, and no one spoke again.
The melody of the music is melodious, cheerful with a little sadness, people immersed in it can not control the memories of the past.
Despite the past many years ago, it all seems like yesterday, vividly.
“I’m curious to know what I once did that you can least forgive?” Peter suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence.
What is something that cannot be forgiven?
Adriana did not answer, but her mind continued to think according to his question.
Then think of all the excessive and unforgivable bastard things Peter did to her back then.
Despite the years that have passed, her cheeks are still slightly flushed.
“No.”
Adriana’s eyes flickered slightly and she denied it outright.
“Really?”
It was clear that Peter was not convinced.
“If I say no, no, you don’t understand?”
“Whether there is or not, after tonight everything is known.” He said.
“There is one thing I have never understood, since Obren’s people have promised to help you recover your memory, why do you still want to hijack Obren’s people? Not afraid of offending them?”
On the way over, Adriana was not very worried, but she was still worried thinking about what Raylan said.
“No, he didn’t say yes to me.”
“What? No promises?”
Adriana’s jaw dropped, “You did something to Obren, or they couldn’t have rejected you. After all, you are a member of The Alston family. By virtue of your honorable status, The Alston family would not have turned you away.”
“I don’t know.”
Peter informed truthfully, “Money is not a problem, but it is clear that the other side does not care about money, I tried my best, nay they still do.”
Listening to his words, Adriana did not pursue the question.
She knew one thing very well that Peter, although he was a bit of a jerk about things, at least he didn’t lie.
“You … I think you better do things carefully, such as otherwise you offend Obren, will bring a series of trouble, to Luis and Helen to lead to trouble.”
I thought Peter had convinced Obren to help him recover his memory, but who knew that the other party would not agree at all?
Adriana does not understand why Obren’s people do not agree, and moreover does not understand which Peter is wrong, actually act like this with Obren’s people, is not self-destructive.
“I have a sense of proportion in what I do.”
Peter said.
That bashful look of not caring at all.
Her thin lips opened slightly, the words came to her mouth and swallowed back.
Since it has been said that there is a measure, there is no point in her saying anything.
The two men looked at each other and were quiet, no one spoke again.
It took a while before Adriana spoke up, “Where’s Raylan?”
Just now Raylan just went out, and as a result, she just shouted for half a day and could not see anyone, I do not know where people run away.
Or maybe it was taken by Peter’s people?
She was a little worried.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely keep Raylan safe.”
The man languidly returned, and couldn’t help but frown, “You’re worried about him?”
“Yes, is there a problem.”
Adriana is frank and straightforward, and does not deliberately hide anything.
Peter’s knife-sharp, handsome face is penetrated by a hostile air, did not speak.
“Raylan, how’s his relationship with Lynn? I heard he has a fiancée.”
A very subtle way of expression, politely telling Adriana not to have any undeserved thoughts about Raylan, after all, he already has a fiancée.
“The Powells and the Kramer family have called off their engagement.”
“You mean you’ve said yes to Raylan’s advances?”
He pursued the question with a somewhat aggressive attitude.
Adriana was made to laugh, “Does it matter to Mr. Alston whether I say yes or no to Raylan’s advances? We’re not friends, we’re not enemies, we’re not friends, so it’s a bit of a surprise to ask.”
“Ask as the father of the children, otherwise how would I know what kind of stepfather you have found for your two children? If the character is not good, I’m afraid I can’t be Helen and Luis’ stepfather either.”
The two men did not give an inch and went toe-to-toe.
“And what have you, as the biological father, done for your two children?”
Adriana was a bit exasperated and felt that Peter’s words were a bit too much.
There’s so much involved that it’s surprising she has to care who she finds a date with?
“I …”
Peter wanted to say the words raw swallowed back, slowly lowered his eyes, eyes with a few sorrow, “It is because I did not do well enough, so I hope there is a better person to accompany the child …”
And you!
He didn’t finish his sentence, but the meaning changed in Adriana’s ears.
“Mind your own business before you say anything. You’re in no position to talk about anyone else right now.”
Adriana disliked it angrily.
The atmosphere became more and more gloomy, then fell into a silence again.
Time passes, and every minute is an ordeal.
“What do you want to eat tonight?”
Peter saw that Adriana did not look too good and asked with concern.
“Don’t eat.”
She balked and looked away, not even looking at Peter.
Leaning on the sofa, legs folded, playing with the phone, but because there is no network can not play anything, so you can only look at the phone photos.
The phone was bought only after he returned home, and there are more pictures of Helen and Luis on it, as well as pictures of him dressed as a man practicing taekwondo with his two children at Orchard House.
The background of the photo, which just happened to capture Peter.
The man happened to be standing in the corridor outside the hall, his eyes eerily watching them not far away.
Although the distance is too far not very clear, but it gives people an inexplicable sadness.
Adriana stared at the photo, her good-looking eyebrows raised gently, gazing at the man, her mood following.
