Since he agreed, Adriana couldn’t refuse.
So, a group of six drove to a nearby hotel.
On the way, Raylan and Adriana ride in one car, and the two children ride with Theresa and Peter.
Adriana glared at Raylan, “Why did you agree to have dinner with them?”
“Running away is not the only way to solve problems, do you understand?”
As he drove, he said, “Many times, the only solution is to face it head on. Not to mention you, Adriana, I’ve told you many times, do you want to be with me?”
“Why are we suddenly talking about here?”
Adriana’s eyes flickered slightly, tilting her head to look aside.
Coincidentally, Peter’s car was next to her, and the man there was looking at her.
Two people just looked through the window, a glance of a million years.
“Harlee called me today.”
Said here, Raylan heart some guilt, “I know Ethines park project did not bring you, I’m sorry, I …”
“It’s none of your business. In the future, when Harlee calls you about me, you can just ignore it.”
Adriana truly feels that Harlee has gone too far, interfering in her affairs and calling Raylan.
“Raylan, I don’t want to promise you.”
She looked down, snapping her nails and wrinkling her brow, and said.
“Why?”
Raylan slowed the car down just as the light was red, and he stopped and looked at Adriana, waiting for an answer.
Inexplicably, there is some tension.
“Quite simply, I don’t want to involve you while I’m reduced to a tool myself.”
I had only heard about the business alliance before, but I never thought I would be involved in it now, and this feeling is really very bad.
“Did you say the Soto family?”
He asked rhetorically.
Adriana wrinkled her brow, her heart hid a lot of things, and did not know who to tell.
“Adri, do you still have Peter in your heart?”
Knowingly ask questions.
But for some reason, Raylan just wanted to know about it from Adriana’s mouth.
Tic-tac-toe –
The car behind kept honking its horn and sounding its siren.
He had to start the sedan and drive towards the front.
“I’ll make my own decisions, and I’ll leave after the latest period of things are taken care of. This time, I will protect my children and will not let anyone get hurt.”
The previous bad life has left quite an impression on Adriana, enough to remember for life.
So much suffering, she learned to grow, if in the inability to solve those things, Adriana feel that they have so many years in vain.
Hearing her glance, Raylan laughed.
The good-looking handsome face swirled with smiles, a few evil, a few yuppie, very provocative.
“What are you laughing at?”
“It’s good to see you grow.”
“What growth, but motherhood.”
As the two talked, they arrived at the HSBC Hotel, where Peter and the others were already waiting at the entrance.
The two men parked their car and walked over.
Luis and Helen have entered the hall, while Theresa is holding Peter’s hand at every moment, making a big show of affection on purpose.
Seeing this, Adriana felt a bit solid and even resisted such a dinner party.
“Here, I’ll lend you my arm?”
As the two walked, Raylan said.
Since that was the case, Adriana didn’t see any harm in taking his arm without ceremony, “Thanks.”
“That’s all thanks? There is no sincerity at all.”
“And how would you like to be thanked?”
Adriana asked rhetorically.
Raylan thought about it fervently and said seriously, “Consider giving your body to it.”
“Bullshit!”
The little woman scolded lightly and had walked up to the two Theresa’s heels.
Peter’s dark ink-like eyes stared at Adriana’s hand on Raylan’s arm and felt a sting.
“Yah, Adri, I’m really happy for you to see you and Raylan both getting along so well.”
Theresa tilted her head and showed a simple smile, “Mr. Powell, Adri and I are good sisters, if you dare to bully Adri, don’t blame me for being unkind to you.”
The words spoken so nicely may be believed only by Theresa herself alone.
Peter looks at Adriana, who looks away.
And Raylan just smiled indifferently, “The woman I like, I will certainly spoil in my heart, how can I bully her. Go in.”
Took Adriana and went in first.
Peter and Theresa followed closely behind, Theresa couldn’t help but sigh, “Peter, look at Adri, she’s really happy, so happy for her.”
Half happy and half sad.
If Adriana stays with Raylan, she can be with Peter for a long, happy life.
But Theresa was not convinced, why was Adriana, a woman only, so attractive?
Peter, Raylan, Alvin.
Why does every one of them like her?
I really don’t see what’s so great about her.
Peter remained silent.
Theresa sensed that Peter’s breath was a little off and seemed slightly angry, so she shut up and didn’t say anything.
Dinner, randomly ordered something, in two small children to drive the atmosphere, but not too awkward.
Throughout the dinner, Theresa kept on serving food with Peter, who put down his chopsticks after eating a few bites.
“It’s such a happy day, we can’t get together easily, why don’t we have a drink?”
Theresa greeted the waiter on the side, “Get two bottles of …”
“Don’t take it.”
Raylan immediately interrupted her and said, “We’re driving, no need to drink. Besides, it’s getting late and you guys have to take the kids to the hospital later, so it’s better not to drink.”
Peter’s eyelids lifted slightly and he glanced at Raylan.
His eyes wandered and looked again at Adriana, who happened to be looking at him.
At that moment, the little woman, as if she had been caught doing something wrong, immediately lowered her head.
Half an hour later, the meal was finished.
Theresa took Peter and the two children with her to the hospital.
Adriana got into the car with both Raylan.
Raylan asked, “Where are we going?”
“I don’t know.”
Adriana also did not know where to go, so easy to two children are not around, suddenly feel empty.
“Go to …”
She was just about to say she was going to the bar when Raylan’s cell phone rang.
Raylan pulled out his cell phone and the screen showed an unfamiliar call, “Excuse me, I have to take a call.”
He took his phone and answered the call, “Who is it?”
“Mr. Powell, as the host, it’s already meal time, shouldn’t you arrange for dinner?”
A woman’s voice came from the other side of the phone.
It’s Tiana.
“Okay, I’ll order you take-out later.”
“Don’t eat.”
“So what do you want to eat?”
“Asnana Hotel’s signature dish.”
“OK, then I’ll have someone send you through …”
“The delivery doesn’t even taste good anymore. I want you to take me to the Asnana Hotel now.”
The tone of command is not at all a discussion with Raylan.
That kind of attitude makes Raylan’s brain hurt.
I can’t wait to give her a good thrashing to get over it.
“Tiana, you … beep beep beep …”
Tiana didn’t give Raylan a chance to speak at all and hung up the phone on the spot.
