He walked over silently, “Do you have a moment?”
“No time.”
Decisive rejection, no pretense.
At that speed, he wanted to leave Peter immediately and never contact him again for the rest of his life.
“I want to talk to you about the two kids.”
“Mr. Alston!”
Before the elevator came up, Adriana raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a tilted head, “At the police station, you made it very clear when you signed that I would raise the two children. How come you’ve changed your mind now? I don’t understand how someone like you can establish your prestige in the business world.”
“The child is still yours to raise. I just hope you will consider for the elderly, after all, the child is the one she watched grow up and has deep emotions. Even if it’s an accommodation, you let the child stay with her one day a week, okay?”
In the old days, Peter spoke to anyone with an arrogant and cool attitude, looking askance at everything.
But at this moment facing Adriana is so humble, low voice.
Adriana blinked her long, thick, butterfly-winged eyelashes and looked directly at the familiar, yet ‘strange’ man in front of her.
It is somewhat impossible to guess what he is thinking.
This time, she didn’t say no decisively, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, “I’ll think about it.”
She, for one, has made concessions.
“Okay, in return, I’ll buy you dinner. How’s that?”
Knowing that his days are numbered, Peter, as much as he wants to distance himself from her, wants more than anything to spend time with her.
Especially after Alani said those things, he was sure of his place in Adriana’s heart, and then he wanted to spend more time with the little woman in front of him.
“Rejected.”
Ding–
As Adriana’s words fell, the elevator came and the doors opened.
She walked right in.
Standing inside the elevator, her long nails quickly poked the elevator, hoping that the doors would close in a second.
Keep your head down and don’t look at the man outside.
Peter stood outside the elevator and moved his right foot, and in that moment, he was trying to get into the elevator together.
But when he saw Adriana’s reaction, he finally stopped in his tracks.
Ding–
The elevator closes, separating the line of sight between the two men.
The man standing outside the elevator watched the elevator descend layer by layer, and his heart sank with it.
Only when he watched the elevator stop on the first floor did he turn away and walk to the end of the corridor.
Standing at the end, he reached for his cell phone and opened Alani’s cell phone number.
Toot-toot-
There were a few rings on the other end of the phone.
“Who?”
“Peter.”
“Mo …? Calling about something?”
Alani was a little surprised that Peter would call him.
A feeling of ‘nothing is wrong’.
“I would like to ask you. If I right to cooperate with you and do the ‘memory transfer’ for her, would it not have any effect on my being near her now?”
People are selfish.
At the very end of his life, Peter just wants to be able to take all the time he can to be with Adriana until the end.
Even if it’s just a luxury, he wants to try it.
“What do you mean? It wouldn’t be …”
Peter’s meaning is obvious.
Alani understood what he meant, thought about it, and said, “No surprises, yes.”
“Seriously?”
“You don’t believe me?”
“I just want it to be 100 percent successful.”
With permission, Peter hung up the phone, and those dull, unlit pupils lit up with starlight.
Turned around and walked to the elevator and pressed it.
Looking at the floor number on the display kept jumping, he was inexplicably a little nervous and excited.
Ding–
The elevator opened and Peter rushed in and took the elevator down to the negative first floor.
And then ran wildly all the way out and sped out of the hospital.
Peter tapped his phone and opened a software that showed a map of Waverly’s urban area, with a red dot moving constantly on Gapryae Road.
That’s Adriana.
He always locates Adriana’s position and knows what Adriana is doing at all times.
Just suffering from the current situation, he did not dare to approach.
Peter stepped on the gas, turned left and right, and sped off, finally catching up with Adriana’s car five minutes later, trailing behind, driving.
Following her, even seeing that familiar license plate number, Peter would feel relieved.
After following for some time, Adriana drove to the park along the river.
Get out of the car, put on your sunglasses, and take a leisurely stroll.
Peter also got out of the car and walked towards her.
“Adriana?”
He called out.
Adriana, who was walking along the cobblestone path, turned around and found Peter standing a few meters away.
He a tailor-made silver gray suit, lined with a straight body, standing against the light, he was covered with a golden glow, hazy his silhouette, more handsome.
Peter is very handsome and is a good match for countless women’s heart desires.
I have to say, that a stunning face is really handsome, even Adriana can’t look away.
He walked towards her, slowly approaching.
It was only when the tall figure loomed over her, blocking the sunlight, that Adriana came back to her senses.
“Something wrong?”
The words are concise and shy.
To be precise, Adriana is actually somewhat repulsed by Peter.
If not, the speech would not be so cold.
Peter looked down at the woman in front of him, a cavity of tenderness, “I … may have to leave the country in a few days.”
As Old Mr. Alston had instructed, he would indeed soon be leaving Waverly and rushing abroad.
“Oh, Mr. Alston came all the way over here to tell me that you’re leaving Waverly?”
She shrugged and returned blandly, “Sorry, your business doesn’t interest me.”
Not interested indeed.
Very contrary words.
Adriana naturally knew he was leaving, she just didn’t expect to leave so soon.
Although already know, but at this moment heard, the heart is still some reluctance.
It just doesn’t show up as obviously.
“I just happened to be passing by and I happened to see you. So I came over to talk to you.”
He touched his nose, and his eyes glazed over a bit as he spoke.
“Just passing by?”
Adriana looked around. Along the river road at the very edge of Waverly, it was almost impossible to pass through here no matter where you were going.
The only pass through might be to the next city.
So, Peter is clearly talking nonsense.
“What a coincidence, what a coincidence.”
Adriana responded grimly and then said, “Now that you’re done, you can go.”
She dropped the words, turned around and walked away.
Peter immediately went after her and subconsciously reached for her hand, “Adriana, are you sure you don’t want to hear about the rest?”
“Just say what you have to say, don’t pull your punches.”
She shook off Peter’s hand and took a step back, “Go ahead, I’m all ears.”
Adriana hands around the chest, clear cold gaze glanced aside, from that exquisite good-looking face can be seen in her extremely impatient emotions.
Mood, very bad.
“Adriana, how about … talking as you go?”
It seems that from before to now, he really rarely has the opportunity to accompany Adriana for a walk.
