Adriana is trying to clear up her relationship with the Soto family and wants to get rid of Old Mr. Soto’s constraints.
“Even if you change your name, you still have the blood of the Soto family in your bones. You have been contacted Raylan, and you will meet with yourselves later. I tell you, if you dare to refuse this marriage, you will be responsible for the consequences.”
Old Mr. Soto put down a letter on the table, got up and walked out.
Walked to the door and glared back at Harlee, “Don’t go back yet, just stand here and wait to die.”
Harlee pursed his lips, worrying about Old Mr. Soto on one side and Adriana on the other, but no matter which side it was, he couldn’t let go and couldn’t help but feel nervous.
“Grandpa, I want to stay here with …”
“Accompany what accompany? Want to be a light bulb! Get the hell out of here.”
The old man gave another scolding and Harlee had to follow.
Adriana was so angry that her brain hurt, and she stood in her office, pacing around inside, thinking for a while, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, the office door opened and a familiar figure walked in.
It’s Raylan.
A few days ago, Raylan seems to have lost a lot of weight, the evil and demonic face through the fatigue, the state is very poor.
“Where have you been the last few days and why aren’t you answering your phone?”
Raylan walked in, closed the office door, and walked up to Adriana inquiringly.
Adriana pointed to the couch, “It’s a long story, sit down and take your time.”
The two men sat on the sofa, opposite each other.
She looked at Raylan and said, “I’ve been going south of the river for the last few days.”
“Alone?”
Raylan pulled the neck of the fashionable short casual clothes stand collar, perhaps because the weather is a little hot today, he rolled up the sleeves, so that the past look a little untamed gangster.
But there is no denying that it is really handsome.
“No.”
Adriana kept her head down, not daring to look the other woman in the eye because she didn’t know what to say to Raylan about what happened next.
She got married to Peter without a marriage license, but in the presence of several friends and relatives, she chose to marry him without any objection.
All the friends were invited, but Raylan and Harlee were not invited.
She had concerns about Harlee, but she really had nothing to hide from Raylan, except that she couldn’t open up to Raylan knowing what he had in mind for her.
“By the way, you called me the other night saying something was wrong, then suddenly there was no sound, and I called you many times without answering. What’s going on?”
Raylan changed the subject and asked about other things.
“That day …”
Adriana words a meal, do not know how to say, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look at Raylan, “the other day … I typed wrong, I was going to call Peter.”
It was too difficult for her to say to Raylan that she had called him on purpose to irritate Peter.
“Raylan, I’m with Peter. We went to the town of Gangnam the other day and had a … simple wedding.”
There are things Adriana really doesn’t want to tell Raylan, but at the same time, she doesn’t want Raylan to have expectations of herself.
Especially since the Soto family is now determined to get her married to Raylan, a marriage between the two families.
“Married?”
Raylan’s expression is calm, but he still stumbles a bit when he speaks.
His good-looking eyes looked at Adriana, and his handsome face squeezed out a raw smile, “Really? That’s a real congratulations, I’m happy for you.”
Raylan was at a loss, felt his pocket, pulled out a cigarette and held it into his lips, holding the lighter in one hand.
Although it is a windproof lighter, but it is a vintage kind of lighter with gears, and he failed to fire several times.
Finally laughed to himself, “What the hell, no gas.”
Shunyi threw the lighter into the trash can and could only hold the one unlit cigarette in his hand and play with it.
Not forgetting to say to Adriana: “Why didn’t you inform me when you were married to Peter?”
“I …”
Adriana can feel his sadness, for his question, Adriana dare not say straight, “You do not have an important contract with Brenden, Tiana and Theresa, I know you are busy in recent days, so I did not inform you. This is not back, back to tell you.”
Such an explanation seems barely justifiable.
“Huh.”
The man laughed.
Get up, lift the hem of your casual coat, walk to the floor-to-ceiling window with your arms crossed, and look out the window.
There was silence for a good few minutes without speaking.
He didn’t squeal, and Adriana didn’t know what to say.
After a while, Adriana thought of Harlee’s words and asked, “I heard that Old Mr. Soto came to your house to talk about marriage?”
“Hmm.”
Raylan responded, without much emotion.
“So … what did you say?”
Adriana was curious to know how Raylan answered.
This time Old Mr. Soto acted recklessly, and she was not in Waverly, so naturally she did not know what happened in Waverly.
Now come back just generally want to know some relevant things from Raylan side.
“Your affair with Peter is not known to everyone, but most people know about it. My dad … naturally refused.”
“What about you?”
It doesn’t matter if his dad refuses or doesn’t refuse, what matters is what Raylan’s attitude is, and that’s all that matters.
Her question, Raylan did not answer the first time, silent for a while, Fang got the result, “Yes.”
Did you say yes?
Adriana was a little surprised, not expecting Raylan to actually agree at all.
“What, you promised? So what do we do now?”
She was already married to Peter, and now everything was in front of her.
That’s why Adriana is really more worried about what Raylan really has in mind.
“What to do? Let nature take its course.”
Although Adriana married Peter, Raylan some hurt feelings, but the final ending of how, seems to have long been a foregone conclusion.
“Shun …”
Adriana ran out of things to say, not knowing what to say.
“Raylan, I think you need to make it clear to Old Mr. Soto. You know full well that Old Mr. Soto means to use your the Powells’ power, do you understand?”
Talking to Raylan like this, Adriana did it out of desperation.
How could a man as smart as this not know what was on Old Mr. Soto’s mind?
She let out a long sigh, “You’d better tell the old man what you think and cut him off. I don’t want to involve you.”
The Powells are the only family standing on the sidelines in this tense situation, and Adriana doesn’t want to implicate Raylan because of herself.
Raylan has helped her a lot over the years, and really can’t be reckless in his demands.
“Tell me more.”
Raylan did not want to talk to Adriana about this topic, immediately switched the topic and asked, “What are your plans for the near future? Brenden and Peter are now tit-for-tat, and Peter’s situation is worrying.”
“I don’t know.”
Mentioning Peter, Adriana’s mood followed and sank, “Don’t you know his current physical condition, there’s nothing I can do except stand by and watch.”
