Peter wanted to take the two kids out on the playground with him.
“No.”
Adriana refused directly, very decisively and without any mercy.
The man frowned, some words came to his lips, but swallowed them, “Good luck ….”
He furrowed his brow and walked past Adriana.
This time, he left with determination and did not look back.
When Adriana turned around, she only saw Peter’s back, which gave a feeling of vicissitude and desolation, and could not help but make people’s hearts ache.
Adriana’s heart is very uncomfortable, to be precise, actually flooded with a hint of pain.
She didn’t understand exactly why she was like this, but knew that her feelings for Peter would not be easy to let go of for a while.
Perhaps this is her, a woman dedicated to her feelings.
Love one for a lifetime.
How hard is it to want to give up?
By the time he reached the entrance of the police station, Peter had already gotten into a car and left in the dust.
She stood there for a while, not knowing what she was thinking, just looking at the direction Peter left, her eyes getting deeper and deeper.
For a long time, Adriana got into the car and left.
Back to the neighborhood.
Before people even got off the bus, they received a call from Harlee.
“Where are you now?”
The direct questioning of the other side, with some anger in the attitude, can be easily felt.
“Something?”
“I didn’t see you at the hospital.”
“I’ve come back.”
“Okay, you wait for me at home.”
Harlee hung up the phone after she finished.
Adriana was ready to go upstairs, but when she heard Harlee was coming over, she didn’t bother to go up.
To Giovanny, he said, “You go back first.”
Giovanny got out of the car and went upstairs.
She stood alone in the neighborhood for a while, looking at the bright moonlight and feeling the coolness of early spring.
As she walked, she stood at the spot where she was shot that day.
The mind recalls the scene when she and Peter held each other tightly, remembering the heart and hard to forget.
The moment was not a good one, but a moment when Peter was used as a human shield and took a bullet for him.
Adriana will probably never forget this day for the rest of her life.
Heart, inch by inch, cooled down.
She took a deep breath, raised her eyes to the moonlight and sighed, why dwell on the past?
Shouldn’t we look ahead?
She has already taken custody of the two children, and as soon as the agreement with Peter is processed tomorrow, she will be able to transfer the accounts of the two children.
Then give Luis and Helen a new home.
Everything is a fresh start, a good start.
She shouldn’t be in such a heavy mood.
Adriana told herself in her mind.
As I was thinking about it, a car pulled up in front of the neighborhood.
A man walked in, and looking at his figure, I knew without thinking that the other person was Harlee.
She walked over, looked at him, and asked, “What is it that you want to see me in such a hurry?”
Every time Harlee came over to her it seemed like she was in a hurry.
“I ask you, did you release Peter?”
Confronted by Adriana, Harlee questioned nonchalantly.
The thunderous appearance, a pair of eyes flooded with fire stared dead at Adriana, as if Adriana only nodded and said yes, he would crush Adriana is.
Seeing this anger in him, Adriana said, “I told you, I’ll take care of my own affairs. harlee, although I’m back with you in the Soto family, I want my own private life, and I don’t want you to interfere with me.”
Yes, at all times Adriana wants to have her own personal space and she wants no one to interfere in her life.
For the first twenty years, she lived under the control of others, and now that she’s finally grown up and become the mother of a child, she can have a life of her own.
Naive has appeared around so many people again.
She was raised to be in charge at an age when she should have been, and now that she should be in control of her own life, someone is stepping up to interfere with her private life.
“Are you crazy?”
Harlee growled in anger.
The first time I went back to the Soto family with you, I made it very clear to you, Harlee. I can go back with you, but I have to have my own private life. You’re interfering with me too much now!”
Adriana does not scorn Harlee and even speaks to him with some indifference.
The affection that had been so easily established between the two siblings seemed a little weak at this moment.
Harlee realized that her attitude was wrong and immediately said, “Adri, I know it’s not good to be so in charge. But Peter is the one in charge of The Alston family, and if we take down Peter, then The Alston family will never be a match for us, the Soto family.”
He did not hide from Adriana and told her what was on his mind.
At that moment Adriana stared at Harlee with a touch of sarcasm swirling in her eyes.
And then, she hooked her lips in a smile.
Moved to look away, reached out and covered his mouth, smiling and laughing, and his cheeks collected a few smiles.
Looking back at Harlee with a cold face, “Is that what you’re really after? You only think about how to take Peter and never think about me?”
She had known for a long time that the Soto family people were not that simple, but now Harlee’s purpose was revealed too strongly for her to care about the Soto family people’s calculations and thoughts.
“Do you know who Luis and Helen’s father is?”
Adriana asked the question knowingly and finished her answer, “Their father is Peter, and if you let Peter go to jail, how are you going to get the two kids to answer when people ask who Luis and Helen’s father is in the future? They are already over nine years old, and will be ten after their birthdays in the second half of the year. Not kids anymore!”
Adriana is really disappointed in the Soto family and even more disappointed in Harlee.
How can this be?
Why is it that you are selfish and only know how to take care of yourself but don’t know what others think?
Two children are also human beings, can’t you think more about them?
Hearing Adriana’s words, Harlee’s air of anger gradually dissipated.
Noticing that Adriana was having an emotional breakdown, he knew after the fact that he had said the wrong thing and his attitude was too impulsive.
Raising his eyes, he touched his nose and coughed gently to ease the embarrassment.
“Adri, I’m sorry, I …”
“I don’t want to hear it.”
Adriana interrupted coldly, “Do you know how many people have apologized to me today? I’ve heard enough. If an apology can solve anything, I’d rather write the word sorry on my own face.”
She waved her hand, “It’s useless, it won’t solve anything at all.”
Shaking her head, Adriana turned sideways to Harlee, walked to a stone bench and sat down, raised her eyes to look at the night sky, “You know what? Since I was a child, what I longed for most was affection, what I needed most was affection, but I couldn’t wait. Growing up, I thought I could live on my own, but then you guys showed up.”
She looked sideways at Harlee and smiled bitterly, “I thought you guys wanted to take me back for my own good, because I’m from the Soto family. But now it’s clearer to me that you want to take me back also because my child is Peter’s child.”
