“Adri, I happened to come over to look for you. I couldn’t get through to you on the phone just now, so I asked the secretary department and they said you were still off duty, so I came over to see.”
Adriana: “…”
I really don’t want to see you right now.
She pursed her lips and gritted her teeth in anger, “Brother, big brother, dear big brother, I have something going on right now, can I skip dinner?”
Really don’t want to call him brother though.
But Adriana was really resigned to losing, and completely admitted defeat. Surrender.
“What is it? Since I call me a brother, of course I have to go through fire and water for you, I will go and help you deal with it.”
With a flattering look on his face, he was very ingratiating to Adriana and took great pains to get along with her.
Adriana bristled and was about to say something when something occurred to her.
“By the way, I’ve been a little moody lately and don’t want to watch the kids. Can you go to the hospital and pick up Luis and Helen and then you can watch them for me for a few days?”
Harlee does not live with Old Mr. Soto, although she listens to him.
To avoid Harlee’s one pestering in the days to come, she decided to give him the glorious task.
“Why are Luis and Helen in the hospital?”
He snapped a little nervous, thinking the two children were sick.
“Mrs. Alston missed her two children for a while and had a heart attack and was hospitalized. Luis and Helen have been in the hospital with Mrs. Alston for the last few days, and it would be good for you to go over now and get the two children back.”
“You’re not coming with me?”
He asked.
“I’ve got a little something else going on.”
“What is it?”
Harlee goes after the roots.
Adriana gripped her handbag tightly, furious and speechless.
After holding back for a long time and being seen by Harlee, he immediately said, “Fine, fine, it’s my brother who is talkative, no more questions, no more questions. I’m going to pick up the kids now.”
“Well, good.”
A smile piled up on Adriana’s face, forcing her anger to smile at him.
The two walked together in front of the elevator, Adriana’s eyes lit up and said, “By the way, you go first, it suddenly occurred to me that I have a document still in the company computer.”
“That’s fine, I’ll go pick up Luis and Helen first.”
“Bye, hard work.”
“What are you talking about, it’s all family.”
…
Adriana didn’t want to listen to Harlee’s continued nonsense and turned around to go back to her office.
Immediately sent a text message to Peter, “honey, wait for me for a moment, will be right down.”
After standing in the office for a while, figuring that Harlee should have left, she took the elevator downstairs.
He walked out of the building and looked to his right and left, afraid that Harlee would catch him.
A black Volkswagen honked its horn from a great distance, and she looked over and walked over towards it.
Pulling open the door and getting into the car, Adriana sat with a long sigh of relief.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing Adriana’s tired face, Peter was a little distressed and hugged her and asked, “Is it very tiring to go to work?”
“I’m not tired of going to work, I’m really bored by Harlee.”
“What’s wrong?”
“No, not much.”
Adriana doesn’t know where to begin.
Leaning his head on his shoulder, he asked, “Have you eaten?”
“No.”
“Let’s go, I’ll take you to dinner.”
“How about going back to Linhu Villa? I want to cook for you personally.”
Life is short, Peter just wants to do the best for Adriana in the last time, cook for her, pick her up from work and sleep with her …
What he can do, he does the best he can.
May the rest of my life not fail her.
Although there are only a few twenty days or so.
“Well …”
Adriana thought about it, afraid that Peter would work too hard to cook at home, but then she thought that the food outside was not very hygienic.
Still agreed, “Okay, go home for dinner.”
Hank started the limo and headed towards the lake house.
On the road, the two of them interlocked fingers, she leaned on his shoulder, the man inclined his head to lean on her head.
No one said anything, but that was as good as it got.
For a while, Peter was afraid that the pressure of Adriana tired, leaning on the car seat.
The distance between here and the lake house is a bit far, perhaps because Peter is not in good health now, after walking not much far, Peter fell asleep.
Adriana found him asleep and took a blanket to cover him.
In a short time, arrived at the Linghu Villa.
The car stopped, Hank turned around and was about to speak when Adriana immediately made a ‘shh’ gesture, signaling him not to speak.
Hank was struck by an unconscious gesture from Adriana.
Rather think boss like Adriana is also worth it.
She just stayed with Peter and sat in the car for a long time.
Adriana thought that Peter would wake up after a short sleep, but it turned out that three hours had passed.
He has always been in very good health, but now he says he can’t, Adriana’s heart also seized up.
You know, Peter doesn’t get much sleep in the day.
I actually managed to sleep for three hours in the car today.
Even though it was already seven or eight o’clock, he went to bed a little too early, a side note that his body was already depleted.
Every time she thought about it, Adriana’s heart seized the pain, not knowing how to face Peter, not to mention how to face the situation at hand.
“What time is it?”
Just as Adriana was leaning against his side, thinking about these things, suddenly the man sat up.
“Honey, you’re awake?”
Adriana smiled tenderly, and as soon as she hugged him, she burrowed into his arms and did not speak for a long time.
God knows how worried Peter was in her mind when he slept for too long at an ungodly hour.
The feeling that the love of her heart is gradually leaving her hurts Adriana.
But the powerlessness to change everything is what makes her most helpless.
“Silly girl, what’s wrong?”
“Nothing wrong, I just want to hug you.”
“What time is it, and how long have I been asleep?”
Peter looked at Hank and asked.
Hank looked at the time on his phone and truthfully informed, “Eleven twenty, you slept for three hours.”
Hearing Hank’s words, Peter himself felt some disbelief, he didn’t need to say anything else, and finally understood why Adriana suddenly hugged her and didn’t say anything for half a day.
For them, every moment now is like a life and death parting.
Two people endured the torture.
“Why didn’t you wake me up? You must be starving, let’s go back and eat.”
Peter opened the door and the two got out of the car.
The two came together, still holding each other’s hands, and even the movements looked that skilful.
Watching the two people in front of them stroll into the villa, Hank followed closely behind, watching the backs of the two people felt the pangs of heartache.
Naive ability is limited and powerless to return.
Otherwise, it is certainly willing to bear all the hardships for the boss.
Adriana held Peter’s hand, rubbed her fingers gently on the back of his hand, looked up at the stars in the sky and said, “Suddenly I miss those few days in the small town of Jiangnan, when we watched the sunrise and sunset together, and sat in the courtyard watching the stars together. It was really nice.”
After their new marriage, the two stayed in the small town of Jiangnan for several days, and Adriana felt that every day was so beautiful, so engraved in her heart, that it was hard to forget.
