He asked for Adriana’s opinion. Then added, “I remember you said before that you really wanted to see ‘The Rest of My Life’, and it didn’t happen to be released today, so I bought the tickets.”
The Rest of Your Life?
It is indeed a movie that Adriana likes a lot, a romance, a movie starring her favorite stars.
She was looking forward to it, but now that Raylan has invited her to see the movie, Adriana feels a little resistant.
“That … Raylan, my company has a high-level meeting this afternoon, I’m afraid I can’t today.”
She politely refused.
“What about tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow I …”
“If tomorrow doesn’t work, the day after, is that okay?”
Raylan gives Adriana absolutely no reason to refuse.
In this way, in the face of the man’s enthusiasm, Adriana really can not be brushed off, “tomorrow, tomorrow I try to free up time, okay?”
“Well, I’ll wait for your call.”
“Okay .”
Adriana hung up the phone and sighed, propping her elbows on the car window and resting her head, a little tired.
What should she do in the present situation?
As she walked, Adriana suddenly came to the fifth ring road, just near Thelma’s house.
The car slowed down and Adriana turned the car around and went to a nearby supermarket to buy some things and went to Thelma’s house.
“Yo, isn’t this that Adri girl?”
She walked into the neighborhood and ran into an old lady from the old school district.
Thelma was in the same neighborhood with Thelma, and later the house was demolished and given a resettlement house after the compensation. They then wrenched back, so they are also considered old neighbors.
“Sofie, how’s your health these days?”
Adriana smiled and walked forward, carrying the nutrition in one hand and taking Sofie’s hand in the other, “I haven’t seen you for some years, but you still remember me?”
“You girl, playing a small your mother led you back, you suffer aggression will go to my house, also I watched growing up, how could forget.”
“Haha, Sofie, that’s all you remember.”
Adriana had a flash of light and pointed to a bench, “I haven’t seen you in a while, Sofie, let’s sit there for a while.”
“Good good.”
When people are old, they are idle, and now they have someone to chatter with, so the old man is willing to do so.
The two sat on the bench, Adriana was very familiar with taking Sofie’s hand and lamented, “Yeah, my mom likes to play cards, and every time I come back, I dawdle at your house when she’s not home.”
“Yo, still remembering. Hahahaha …”
“Sofie has been good to me, of course I keep it in my heart. But with so much going on these days, I haven’t been able to come and see you.”
“You young people are busy at work, so of course you can understand.”
“Sofie is so nice.”
“Oh, I’m old, what’s good, as long as you young people are doing well. I saw you on TV a while ago, became a big boss, but really powerful.”
“That’s a friend’s company. Although I say that now I can eat and drink, but I also have regrets, that is, I always want to find my real mother. Alas …”
Adriana said, deliberately lowered her head, revealing a sad look, “Although I have never seen my real mother, but they have the kindness of childbirth in me, I want to meet. It’s just that I can’t find any clues at all.”
“Why don’t you ask me, you girl.”
Sofie patted her hand and said, “Back then, your adoptive mother and I worshipped Buddha at the Eflor temple for peace. That was when we met a woman on the mountain, with injuries and you in her arms, in a very dangerous situation. She slipped the baby to Gui Fan and gave her a few gold bars to raise you well. Also said not to let anyone know she had come, and then the man ran away in a hurry.
To say ah, although Thelma is a money-grubbing master, but the good thing is not too bad nature. Otherwise, she would have taken the gold bar and lost you. She adopted you back and we agreed to claim that you were found on the roadside.
This secret is concealed for decades. Hiss … all this your mother did not tell you?”
Sofie asked with sudden realization.
Adriana had a flash of light and nodded, “Of course I did, but there are no clues, no way to find them. But Sofie, you must not mention this in front of my adoptive mother, or else according to her character, she will probably be sulking for days.”
“Hahahaha, Grandma, I know. Grandma knows.”
Sofie gave a chuckle.
Adriana took the phone and looked at it, “Oh, the company called, I have to go back for something. Grandma, these two nutritional products, you keep these two, you help me to give my foster mother. Just tell her I have to go back to the office on short notice.”
“Eh, make it impossible to make it impossible.”
“Grandma don’t be polite, I’ll go first.” She pursed her lips and made a gesture of silence, “Remember to make sure you don’t tell my foster mother.”
“Okay, Grandma knows.”
“Let’s go.”
Adriana hit the ground running, got in her car and left.
As she walked along, she thought carefully about what Sofie had said, but fell into deep thought.
If what Sofie said is true, she was a woman who was badly injured who handed her over to Thelma and gave her the gold bar.
It can only mean that the person’s identity is not simple, and a good family, and more enemies.
Otherwise it is not so much that one just gave birth to a child not long after being hunted by the enemy.
It’s been more than 20 years since then, the Eflor temple is still there, but the person is not there at all, so how can she check?
After thinking about it, Adriana thought of a different perspective.
She can’t find out who she is now, so she might as well start with Harlee, the boy born to the Soto family’s oldest wife.
With an idea in mind, Adriana immediately called Giovanny and told him the situation.
“It’s been too long, and to avoid mistakes, I need time.”
“One month at the most, I’ll wait for your news. ”
“Yes!”
The other party hung up, and Adriana mulled in her mind that no matter what, all she needed to do now was to stabilize Old Mr. Soto, otherwise it was the most dangerous.
In the afternoon, I went back to the office and worked for a while, and then went to see a few clients and talked about cooperation.
In the evening, I accompanied a client to socialize, drank some wine, and dispersed early.
On the way home, Rene, the secretary, drove the car.
When she arrived home, Adriana made herself a bowl of sobriety soup, took a few sips and lay down on the couch.
Who knows and fell asleep.
I woke up in the night, it was after two o’clock, but found that Vivian had not returned.
Adriana was puzzled and called Vivian, no one answered.
“Where could she be?”
After a few consecutive calls, no one answered, and she stopped calling.
Everything will wait for tomorrow after dawn.
At the same time.
Asnana Hotel.
Vivian, who had been ravaged, lay in bed, listening to the snoring of the man beside her, and she was a little desperate.
In the darkness of the dark night, she looked at the man in front of her with open eyes and clenched pink fists.
For a long time, his hand reached behind his back and felt a dagger prepared in advance from under the mattress.
The lights in the guest room were out, but Waverly was bustling like the city that never sleeps, and the dim shimmering light from outside cast in and fell on the dagger in her hand, glinting with a cold light.
Holding the dagger, Vivian shivered, gulped, gripped the handle with both hands, and said: Edward, since you sincerely do not want to let me feel better, then why not make an end to it today.
