“Fun, thanks … aunt … hehehe …”
Adriana cupped her hands on her little baby’s cheeks, “You’re welcome yo, baby just like it.”
“Come over and play with … baby … …”
The little baby pulled Adriana, Adriana had no choice but to accompany him and went upstairs.
Peter, who was sitting on the living room couch, kept his eyes on Adriana’s body, and his eyes changed slightly with every move she made.
Brenden, who was sitting on the sidelines, took a glance at Peter’s expression, but said nothing.
Upstairs, Leonidas dragged Adriana into the room, and Hayley followed, closing the door behind her in the children’s room.
The child flung himself into the toy by himself and played with it by himself.
Adriana then looks to Hayley and asks, “How have you been?”
Hayley first froze, and then weakly smiled, walked to Leonidas, took a toy to put together a toy with the children, and sighed, “That’s it.”
“When do you plan to leave?”
Adriana asked succinctly.
From just now Hayley’s eyes have known Hayley’s recent encounter, just did not know it would be so serious.
Can’t help but wonder, “He knows you already know the truth?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“No?”
Adriana is even more confused as to how Hayley could have been injured if she didn’t know.
“He’s been domestically abusive to you?”
“Also … and not.”
Hayley shook her head, “I think it was from after the wedding.”
Previously, Brenden had not been rough because she had children, but after Waverly’s grand wedding, Brenden repeatedly struck.
I think the desired purpose has been achieved, Hayley will not need to be coaxed.
Adriana had extremely mixed feelings and didn’t know what to say.
After a few moments of silence, he paced back and forth in the room, and after a long time, asked, “What are you going to do?”
Hayley smiled bitterly, “What can I do now that it has come to this?”
She had no initiative of her own and didn’t know what to do. “I think it’s fine now, so how about this.”
“You …”
Adriana felt that Hayley was a little confused and was trying to persuade her when she suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, so she immediately went to Hayley’s heels, squatted down, and teased the little baby, “Look, is this fun? Ohhhh, he’s really quite good at playing.”
As her words fell, the bedroom door opened and Brenden stood in the doorway, “What are you guys talking about, dinner’s on, come on down.”
“Well, good.”
The two went downstairs with their children.
In the dining room, a sumptuous dinner had been prepared and several people were seated.
Theresa and Peter sat together, Jenkins and Adriana sat together, and Brenden and Hayley sat together with the little toddler sitting next to them.
At the dinner table, there were just a few polite pleasantries, and no one talked about in-depth topics.
The simple but dark dinner ended early, and a few people had some cake and dispersed.
Adriana gave Hayley a meaningful look as she walked away, but said nothing.
Not because she doesn’t care, but because the way things are going, it wouldn’t be a good thing for Hayley to talk too much.
Brenden had used Helen to threaten her, and the same method could be used to threaten Hayley.
Anyway, the child is innocent, and Adriana can’t bear it in her heart.
On the drive home, Jenkins was in a good mood, and seeing her preoccupied, she asked, “What’s wrong, what’s on your mind?”
“Hmm? No, nothing.”
Adriana suddenly came back to her senses and immediately said, “You can let Hayley go back for a few days if you have nothing to do lately. Your mother is getting older every day, and it’s lonely to have no one around.”
“That’s what I thought.”
“That’s good.”
Seeing that he didn’t think much of it, Adriana didn’t say much.
Jenkins is not a delicate person, some things he simply can not think of, Adriana also do not want him to follow the worry.
More afraid that according to Jenkins straightforward man’s nature, it will spoil the big event.
“Put me down in front, I want to walk alone.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just ate too much and wanted to take a walk. You just hurry back. There’s nothing to care more about Vivian these days.”
Adriana admonished Jenkins.
Jenkins looked slightly embarrassed, “I … her …, all right, I know.”
Although he and Vivian have a good relationship, but since when, Vivian has distanced himself from him, no longer the same as at the beginning.
Trying to care, but appearing to have more than enough heart.
The car stopped at the curb and Adriana got out.
One strolls along the river road in the cool night breeze, wrapped tightly in a windbreaker.
She inclined her head to look at the bright lights along the banks of the river, the night breeze, lightly brushing the willow branches, the water waves swirling with brilliant lights, like a brilliant river of stars.
The view is beautiful, but she is not in the mood to enjoy the night.
Walking, all of a sudden hit a wall of people.
“Ah!”
She let out a cry of surprise and fell backwards, when a strong arm wrapped around her waist and brought her forward into a warm embrace.
Adriana fixed her eyes, gazed at the man in front of her, and instantly pushed him away.
“Don’t you walk with eyes?”
She reprimanded lightly, her face unpleasant.
“Are you talking about yourself?”
Peter asked rhetorically.
Adriana was a little embarrassed, reached up and touched her nose, walked around him and was about to leave.
With him, remain detached and indifferent, do not want to say a word more to him.
Every extra word made her feel superfluous.
“Adriana!”
The man clutched her wrist, his voice choked and hoarse as he shouted.
The moment the hot palm touches Adriana’s skin, the palpitations of the heart, the deer in the headlights.
Adriana couldn’t stop her heart from beating while secretly chagrined at her own uselessness.
It is clear that the person in front of you is hated, but now that you see him, you still can’t do the heart like water.
“Let go!”
Adriana shrugged it off, but couldn’t break free of him.
Turning sideways, his stern eyes glared at him, “Mr. Alston, if you don’t let go, believe it or not, I’ll call the police and sue you for indecent assault!”
Peter side of the thick ink sword eyebrows gently raised, “So, if I do not do something to you, is not sitting on the fact that you reported false police?”
“Shameless!”
Adriana, in a fit of disgust, asked, “What the hell do you want?”
“My mother would like to meet Luis.”
Peter hesitated for a few seconds and spoke slowly, “She …”
“I’m sorry, but when I signed the agreement with you, it was made very clear that it would be impossible for you to see the child again.”
“I can’t see. But my mother is the child’s grandmother, and Luis was brought up by her with affection.”
“Oh, Peter, are you funny again? Yesterday it was you who signed the agreement and said you wouldn’t see Luis and Helen, and today it was you who immediately changed your mind and said you wanted to see Luis. What kind of person do you take me for? In the morning, you asked Brenden to bring someone to my house to take Luis. Don’t you think it’s despicable?”
The Peter I used to know was not like this at all.
