He avoids answering Adriana’s questions and is instead interested in her personal life.
Adriana smelled a hint of treachery and her wary eyes looked the man in front of her up and down, “Tell me, what other more detailed investigation has been done?”
Alani’s good-looking pupils gazed at Adriana and suddenly smiled, spreading her palm, “Put your hand inside my palm, and all your are things I can know.”
Adriana has seen a lot of people, although not very discerning, but a glance at the person can tell how his nature.
But Alani smiled at her with kindness and without a hint of hypocrisy.
The affectionate smile inexplicably makes Adriana feel close.
Glanced at his outstretched palms, that hands, although well maintained, but the tiger’s mouth was born calluses, palms also have clearly visible calluses.
This leads to …
He should be a long time user of the device.
… is extremely dangerous.
“You have said that you can know everything when you put it up. Wouldn’t it be silly for me to put it up again?” Adriana shook her head and couldn’t help herself.
That smile, through the innocence, let people inexplicably like.
“I have always been full of kindness to beautiful girls.”
“Coincidentally. I’ve always been defensive about men who can flirt.”
“Is that so?”
“That’s natural.”
“Hahahaha …”
Alani tilted her head and smiled, “I like the way you are honest.”
“I’m rather curious, aren’t you from Motril, how come you have the Swoywana name?”
“My mommy is a Swoywana, so she gave me the Swoywana name.”
“Oh, no wonder. I said how come your Mandarin is so good, you can’t even hear the foreign accent at all.”
Adriana gave him a thumbs up, “Pretty impressive.”
“But … you’ve been avoiding the subject of me.” She smiled coquettishly.
Alani pursed her lips and smiled, absolutely delighted with Adriana, and the coldness of a moment ago.
At once, Adriana was puzzled and wondered if he was deliberately targeting Peter or what.
“There is no reason, the patriarch means it.”
He said.
Since even the patriarch’s orders were told to Adriana, it means that he was very open with Adriana, making her even more confused.
But Adriana didn’t dare to ask more.
“Peter asked you to help her recover her memory, will you help him?”
“No.”
Without waiting for Adriana to finish her sentence, Alani replied without thinking.
“So you’re not afraid he’ll kill you?”
“You will protect me.”
Five words alone made Adriana flabbergasted for a moment, looking at him in amazement, crying and laughing, “Where do you get the confidence that I will protect you?”
“You hired me at a high price to come to Waverly, so naturally my safety is yours to guard.”
“Stop it!”
Adriana raised her hand and immediately said, “Correction, it’s protect, not guard.”
In the end, I do not know whether he really does not understand or pretend not to understand, said so ambiguous.
“What’s the difference?”
“Of course there is, a fundamental difference.”
“Oh? Might as well tell us about it?”
“This …”
Adriana was speechless for a while, her big watery eyes clenched, and she didn’t come up with a very good explanation. Skimmed her mouth, “Forget it, don’t talk about it. But don’t worry, if you really don’t say yes to Peter, I will not let him hurt you.”
In any case, Alani is the one she sent to pick up from Motril, so naturally she will ensure his life is safe.
“I believe you.”
He said he believed her.
“But trusting me so much when we first meet?”
Adriana is a bit unbelievable.
“I, Alani, never look at the wrong person.”
“I won’t let you down.”
…
The two exchanged pleasantries in the bedroom before Adriana left the room.
Pulling open the door, he found Peter standing in the doorway.
“The president of the Alston Group still likes to eavesdrop on walls?” She couldn’t help but tease.
The glistening vermilion lips held a smile that was extraordinarily sarcastic and piercing.
“I was worried about you.”
Peter said in a serious manner.
The two brothers standing behind you look at me, I look at you, and then look at Adriana with unspoken intentions, saying nothing.
“No need.”
How could Adriana believe Peter’s perfunctory words?
Worried about her?
I don’t believe anyone would believe him.
“Get out of the way, you’re in the way!”
Adriana scolded lightly and walked around him and went straight downstairs.
Directly the sound of high heels reached downstairs, Zac Fang walked over to Peter and asked, “Are you sure Alani will help you recover your memory?”
Peter shook his head.
Not sure.
“Have you ever wondered why Obren wouldn’t go out of his way to help you?” Edward was still most interested in this question.
The Alston family is strong and has a certain background, so it is reasonable to say that Obren should not refuse, but now it is so completely rejected, which is really puzzling.
“There is a natural reason for not helping.”
Peter did not give the real reason and went downstairs.
In fact, even he himself does not know why Obren’s people do not help him, although he has been investigating the matter, but until now can not find any clues.
And The Alston family people Obren did not have a grudge, so do not understand why.
“Big brother, because of this, you can’t offend Obren’s people.”
He walked away, and Zac shouted behind him.
Peter came downstairs and heard Zac’s words even though he didn’t speak.
Downstairs, Adriana is sitting in the hall, bored and flipping through the newspaper in her hand.
“What would you like to eat tonight, I’ll have the kitchen prepare it.”
Peter walked up to Adriana and asked her what she meant.
The small woman sitting on the sofa stared unblinkingly at the newspaper in her hand and said quietly, “Lose weight, don’t eat.”
Besides, she was in no mood to eat now that she was being threatened by Peter.
“How about I make it for you and you help me with it?”
Men make concessions.
Nevertheless, Adriana did not appreciate it, “Is Mr. Alston’s language comprehension so poor? You don’t understand when I say no?”
She raised her eyes, the watery almond eyes permeated with a trace of coldness and rejection.
“It’s a long night, you won’t eat and it will affect your play at night.”
He was referring to the people who assisted Obren at night to help her recover her memory, but it came from Peter’s mouth with ambiguous overtones that could easily lead to some misunderstanding.
The Alston family may be powerful, but they can’t compete with an Obren. I think you should know what’s behind Obren.”
What Raylan can know, Peter must know.
Adriana is quite sure.
“You’re worried about me?”
“I’m afraid that your selfish and reckless actions will bring me and my children down!”
To put it bluntly, it’s disliking him, not worrying about him.
The man’s eyes, which are deep and profound like the vast ocean, flashed with a dark light, “I’ll take it as you’re worried about me.”
“As you wish.”
Adriana didn’t want to keep dwelling with Peter, endlessly.
“It’s getting late, I’ll go make you dinner.”
“No need!”
Another decisive and direct rejection.
The man who had just turned towards the kitchen stopped in his tracks and looked back to gaze at the little woman.
