Adriana’s hand holding the glass was slightly hard, pretending to be calm to keep herself from being exposed.
Then he picked up his glass and took a sip of wine, and inclined his head to look aside.
She was kidnapped yesterday and it was Peter who saved her.
To this day Adriana has not yet figured out how to face everything, and has even thought about taking the initiative to find Peter again.
Then today, she suddenly found out the content of the information so that she was immersed in astonishment for a long time can not calm down.
Bang, bang, bang –
Heart beating faster and faster, almost as if it could jump out of the throat, even breathing has become difficult.
That photo, why … why does it look so much like Harlee?
Adriana would love to get to the bottom of things, but the situation is clearly not right now.
Moving too big and overly flashy will expose yourself and more easily reveal the truth of the matter.
At least some things can’t get out just yet.
Huzzah-
The cell phone placed on the desktop rang.
Adriana picked up her phone, looked at the unfamiliar phone number, hesitated for a moment or got up and walked out.
Walking outside the hotel, she answered the phone, “Hello, who is it?”
“Ms. Hale, it’s been a long time.”
There is a mechanical male voice, a voice that only comes out with some kind of special software.
“Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am, you go to the back door of the hotel now and I’ll wait for you here.”
“Joke, I don’t even know who you are, so why should I go over there if you tell me to?”
“What, are you afraid?”
“Oh, don’t come if you’re afraid.”
The person on the other end simply hangs up the phone.
Adriana stood in front of the hotel for a while, her mind recalling what the man had just said, always vaguely feeling that there was also something wrong.
People, there will always be curiosity.
Driven by curiosity, Adriana walked towards the back door of the hotel with doubts in her mind.
Asnana Hotel is a five-star hotel owned by Alston Group, which is very famous in Waverly.
Naturally, Adriana is familiar with the area.
But when she went to the back she was surprised to find that there was no one else at all except the hotel staff who were busy.
Stood for a while, waiting for the mystery man to give her the initiative to contact the phone, but for a long time did not wait for people.
She had no choice but to take the initiative to call the mystery man, but the call went out unanswered.
“Who could it be?”
Adriana said to herself.
Putting away the phone, the moment she raised her eyes she found Peter who was walking towards her.
“How did you get here?”
Peter looked at her with a gentle tone.
“Nothing, just came over for a walk.”
Her fingers stiffened slightly, involuntarily unable to control the thumping heart, where the real shrinkage, like a knife cut, pangs of pain.
His love for her, Adriana saw it in her eyes.
Perhaps the world really can’t find a person who loves her more than Peter.
It is this man who silently did everything for her, but did not want her to know, all the pain alone to bear, even if life and death, are not willing to let her suffer.
Adriana was touched, relieved and heartbroken.
Also … is helpless.
“Just browsing. mr. Alston is something wrong?”
She asked a rhetorical question with a fake calm and expressionless face.
“I heard that you were kidnapped yesterday? Is everything okay?”
He thought Adriana didn’t know anything and asked casually.
“Would I still be standing in front of you if something was wrong.”
Adriana was indifferent and added, “If Mr. Alston is okay, I’ll leave now.”
After saying that, he bypassed Peter and left directly.
Facing him, Adriana really does not have much control, just a few words of conversation, she already can not help but want to jump over and hug tightly the man who makes her god love.
She was worried that if she said a few more words, she would not be able to restrain her thoughts of him and would fling herself at him and hug him and tell him, “Honey, I remember, I remember everything.”
But …
No!
“Wait.”
The man suddenly called out.
She took a step, her head tilted slightly to the side and swept him a glance out of the corner of her eye, “Say.”
Peter hesitated for a moment and stepped in front of her.
Today he is dressed in a white suit, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, short hair three-sevenths, a good-looking haircut set off his cold face more handsome confusion.
But in the past, full of cold air of the man, and now between the eyebrows more than a little brushed off the sadness and sadness, become depressed.
One can’t help but be heartbroken.
“I just … wanted to ask you how Luis and Helen’s two children are doing in school lately.”
The only connection between the two is the two children.
Peter wanted to talk to Adriana a little longer and had to use that as an excuse.
“Well, okay.”
Adriana knows Peter’s heart and knows even better that Giovanny and Aaren are Peter’s people.
They are responsible for taking care of Luis and Helen. Aaren and Giovanny know better than her as a mommy when it comes to school and life.
As Peter’s subordinates, the two would tell Peter everything about the children’s movements, but he had to come and ask her.
Obviously, it was to talk to her for a while longer.
“My mom’s birthday is in two days, she misses the kids, can Luis and Helen come over together to give her a birthday?”
The requesting attitude, without the usual indifference, made Adriana a little uncomfortable with his gentleness.
Adriana tilted her head to look at the greenery aside, not even having the courage to look directly at Peter.
Deliberately avoiding his gaze.
She didn’t say anything.
Peter continued, “After the child’s grandmother’s birthday I will send her and Sloane both to live abroad. If you are at ease, why not send the child abroad and let them take care of it for you?”
All of Adriana’s actions are well known to Peter, and naturally he knows that she is investigating The Alston family.
“I’ll think about it.”
Her expression didn’t change much, she lifted her hand to ruffle her bangs, pinned them behind her ear and asked, “Are you done? I’ll go first when I’m done.”
Adriana’s every move, a scowl is so cold.
Not even a trace of tenderness could be seen in her good-looking shearwater eyes, and Peter was certain that she had not recovered her memory.
A slight jaw, “I’ll wait for your call.”
Without a word, Adriana walked around him and walked away without looking back.
In the sunlight, her pace was hurried until after rounding the corner, she went under a tree, took a deep breath, closed her eyes and hung her head wondering what she was doing.
The woman lowered her head and kept a movement for a long time without changing.
Unbeknownst to her, she was really sore.
Because, today Giovanny sent over the pile of information inside the photos, there are pictures of Old Mr. Alston’s sons.
She was surprised to find a photo of Archie, the oldest member of The Alston family, who looked so similar to Harlee in features.
Especially the eyes, eyebrows and mouth, look carefully, very similar very similar.
One of the photos is Archie side photo, but because the foreground is Brenden and The Alston family old five Raymond, so the appearance of Archie is not very obvious.
Adriana, however, noticed that Archie’s side was strikingly similar to Harlee’s.
At that moment, her brain buzzed and exploded.
