But now look at Adriana is not even a little bit hurt look.
“It’s not so much that I’ve been planning this for a long time as that Peter is destined for it. theresa, you don’t have to come to me for help, and I can’t possibly help you with anything.”
Once again, Adriana made herself known.
“You … are good, Adriana, count on you. You won’t help me will you?”
Once again, she held her patience and said, “Back then you made me unable to get pregnant, and now you made me miscarry, don’t you have any guilt and remorse?”
Theresa softens up and really puts her heart and soul into Adriana, hoping that Adriana will help her out.
“Don’t talk about what happened back then, and you’re not qualified to say it again.”
Adriana placed her hands in the pockets of her high-waisted wide-legged pants, gazing into the distance, a cold and lonely aura is natural.
“Theresa, stop trying to play mind games with me, you can’t beat me. If you continue to play, you will only lose both sides. As the saying goes, ‘those who know the time are the best’, you should wake up as soon as possible.”
This is Adriana’s last advice to her, and I hope it will not be in vain.
“Why can’t we pursue a win-win situation, Luis and Helen are this liability by your side, how can you get married later as a woman with two children? Why not give the kids to Peter, we’ll be sure to pay you a good amount, and you can take Helen and find another sweetheart. Best of both worlds, isn’t it.”
“I’m sorry, but having two children is the greatest blessing.”
Adriana interrupted coldly, “How can someone like you, who is not even qualified to be a mother, experience motherly love?”
Recalling that day in the hospital, Giovanny said that Theresa herself disregarded the child in her womb and deliberately touched the corner of the table in order to make herself miscarry.
She then felt a shiver down her spine.
Even if Theresa has some conspiracy purpose, but the child in her womb is innocent, how can she be so ruthless?
It is really chilling to the heart.
Originally well spoken, Theresa did not expect Adriana to be so unforgiving.
The white cheeks instantly became unusually embarrassed.
“Adriana, if it wasn’t for Peter, do you think I would be begging you so hard? No matter what, he is the father of two children. what good does it do you for Peter to be kicked out by The Alston family?”
She questioned angrily.
“What’s the loss to me if he gets kicked out?”
Adriana’s lips curled slightly, raising a light smile, “Theresa, you’re so full of yourself. You …”
She was about to say something when she saw Peter suddenly appear from over there.
I’m not sure if Peter is alive or dead, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, I will marry someone else sooner or later, and without a Peter, Luis and Helen will have other fathers.”
“You … you are so shameless!”
Theresa was enraged by Adriana, not at all expecting Adriana to speak so harshly.
“Mr. Alston, please lock the chain next time you go out with your family pet and don’t bite anyone you catch.”
Adriana snorted a laugh and walked around Theresa.
“You stand still.”
Theresa turned around and saw Peter, but she was angry and pulled Adriana by the hand, “Why are you scolding me? I only asked you to help Peter, and you are so heartless? At least you are the mother of the children, Luis and Helen were raised by Peter all these years, no credit but also hard work, you are just going to turn a blind eye?”
“Let go!”
Adriana looked askance out of the corner of her eye at her hand clutching her dress tightly, her face clear and cold.
“I don’t!”
“Get out!”
Seeing Theresa’s refusal, Adriana brushed her hand away.
Although she used a small amount of force, Theresa stumbled a few steps, leaned back and fell.
“Theresa?”
Peter’s pupils shrank slightly and he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her waist and held her in place.
“Ms. Hale, please apologize to Theresa.”
Peter put one arm around Theresa’s waist, one hand in the pocket of his suit pants, the pair of deep, dark pupils swirled with a dark luster.
“Heh. You say apologize and I apologize? Since you know your fiancée is weak, you shouldn’t take her out with you. On a clear day, don’t you want to touch the porcelain?”
Her vermillion lips have been maintaining a faint smile, her expression is cold with contempt, “Only just driven out of the Alston Group, you couple has changed to porcelain? It seems to be really poor. No wonder your miscarried fiancée dragged her sick body to beg for it.”
“Adriana, don’t get cocky. I, for one, am …”
“Stop it.”
Peter’s bony, jade-like hand fell on Theresa’s lips, and his tone was as gentle as it could be, “Theresa, you should stop meddling in my affairs. For my sake, you don’t have to beg an outsider.”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes and his cold, handsome face met Adriana’s face with a cold smile and said, “Although Ms. Hale is the CEO of the Fryer Group, in the end, she is also dependent on the Soto family, and it is difficult for her to protect herself.”
After a second of silence, the two looked directly at each other, like a battle of the eyes, who did not want to give in.
Peter asked again, “Would you say yes or no, Ms. Hale?”
He addressed her politely as ‘Ms. Hale’.
The smile Adriana held at the corners of her lips looked a little stiff, her cold eyes narrowed slightly and she nodded noncommittally, “Mr. Alston is smart.”
Eyes slightly skewed to Theresa, “Keep an eye on your fiancée and keep her away from me, I don’t want to be touched.”
With those words, she walked straight away.
And Theresa still nestled in Peter’s arms, her tender eyes gazing at Peter, feeling the gentle scent of his body, her heart fluttering in spring.
It turns out that Peter still cares about her.
“Stand still.”
Just when she had a hint of fantasy, Peter gentle tone instantly disappeared, the tone of speech are a little hard.
Helping her stand up straight, he withdrew his hand and placed it in the pocket of his suit pants, looked down at her and warned, “I don’t need you to interfere in my affairs, do your part.”
One before and one after, three hundred and sixty degrees of attitude change.
Theresa was so confused that she didn’t even understand the situation before she realized that Peter had already walked away.
“Pe…
”
She called out, but sensibly swallowed the last word.
Just a moment ago, I thought Peter was still in love with her, but now I realize that Peter is simply in love with Adriana, and that’s why he is playing games when Adriana is present.
Damn.
Adriana!
Her pink fist clenched, long nails dived deep into the palm, sharp nails scratched the palm, spilling blood stains, she was unaware.
Why is that?
Adriana and Peter both came back into the living room one after another.
A few people sat and gossiped while dinner was being prepared in the kitchen.
At that moment, Leonidas came over and took Adriana’s hand, “Auntie, play …”
Leonidas speaks unclearly, grinning, smiling at Adriana, with a particularly pleasing little look.
Adriana looked at the Transformer held in the little baby’s other hand, couldn’t help but smile and asked, “Is the Transformer fun?”
