“I know.”
Even if Adriana did not instruct him, he knew in his heart.
At the end of the sentence, Harlee immediately asked again, “Why did you agree to Peter taking the children back to The Alston family, you were not afraid that he would trap the two children and not allow them to return to you?”
“It won’t.”
Adriana replied without thinking.
“Why?”
“No reason needed.”
Peter’s situation was more than clear to her, so how could she not let her see the child?
Anyone in this world could have betrayed her, but not Peter.
“Oh, confidence is good, overconfidence is conceit. On top of Peter’s matter, I’ll just send you two words, ‘Be careful with the boat’ and ‘You can’t be too careful with others’.”
As Adriana’s brother, Harlee certainly wants Adriana to have a good life and doesn’t want to see her suffer.
Adriana didn’t say anything else, and didn’t seem to want to pursue the matter too much.
“Come on, let’s take you to dinner.”
The time is late, tossed the day, the two of them busy in the afternoon until now have not dined.
Finding a hotel, the two ordered some casual dinner.
The atmosphere was somewhat silent as the two dined in silence, not saying much.
Instead, the news is playing on TV …
Lindsay Group Vice President Theresa actually did this kind of thing on her wedding day! Theresa was blatantly cheating on her husband, ignoring Tatum, Theresa was violently beaten by Tatum and disfigured, Theresa was withdrawn from her marriage for the second time, but was disfigured on her wedding day. …
The news broadcast featured several screenshots that showed various headlines, all of which were eye-catching titles from the major search engine rankings.
Adriana took a sip of her wine, scanned her eyes over the news, and frowned.
“She deserved it, if you ask me, Theresa deserved it!”
“Help me find Sandra.”
Instead of answering, Adriana instructs Harlee to help find Sandra.
At the mention of Sandra, it dawned on Harlee, “Right, Sandra set you up, you can’t just sit back and do nothing about it.”
He drew a few paper towels to wipe his mouth, “You eat first, I’ll go call and order.”
Got up, walked aside and made a phone call.
But a minute later he turned back, stood in front of Adriana, and said, “Sandra was taken away by Peter’s men.”
Adriana’s hand holding the goblet stiffened slightly, “Got it.”
Picked up the phone, flipped out Peter’s cell phone number, tapped his finger on the touch screen, but immediately withdrew it and put the phone on the desktop.
“You’re not going to ask for the man back?”
“Why should I dirty my own hands when someone else is doing it.”
If Peter is willing to help her with her enemies, it would be better to let him handle it.
“I just can’t understand how Sandra, who is Theresa’s best sister, could set Theresa up?” Harlee thought and thought and couldn’t understand, and couldn’t help but shake her head with a long sigh.
“Everything has a cause and effect, and not being able to think about it just means you don’t know anything.”
“You mean, you know the inside story?”
Adriana’s words piqued Harlee’s curiosity.
“Dinner!”
She spoke in a cold voice, directly gagging Harlee.
After dinner, Harlee leaves and Adriana walks alone to the river for a walk.
Blowing the night breeze, feeling the coolness of spring, always feel inexplicably melancholy, not high interest.
So many things have happened recently that it looks like everything is ending, but it’s more like the beginning of a conspiracy.
She, on the other hand, has no relationship with Peter or not, she does not yet know.
Archie, what exactly is her relationship with Harlee again?
Walking to a bench, Adriana sat down and looked at the night along the river in Waverly, with neon glittering on both sides of the river, reflected in the jagged water with a little starburst, like a painting of abstraction, very gorgeous.
Suddenly, one person came to sit beside her.
Adriana subconsciously glanced sideways and her face instantly went cold, “What are you doing here?”
Suit Raylan reached out to unbutton his suit, his face slightly ugly, eyes forward, but not afraid to look directly at Adriana.
“I … came to apologize to you.”
Raylan also does not hide, directly indicate his purpose.
“Apologize?”
The woman raised her eyes and looked at the green willow above her head swaying with the wind, the breeze helped to mess up her hair, she reached out and lifted the bangs in front of her forehead, pinned them behind her ears and smiled, “Why?”
Knowingly ask questions.
“I know you had nothing to do with what happened at the wedding today.”
Raylan fist clenched, thumb rubbing the index finger, the subtle action explained his complex inner.
Adriana’s red lips hooked slightly and she smiled.
The smile is bland, but contains a few bitterness.
“You know, I could never figure out why you were the one who betrayed me. Until you sat next to me now and apologized, I was sure that you had no choice but to do so. Although, I don’t know what the reason is. But I don’t blame you.”
With Raylan two people born to die, Raylan once in order to protect her, countless times punished, and even for her fear of life and death.
How could such an upright man betray her?
So, there is only one reason, that is, Raylan was threatened or forced to do so.
The analysis made Raylan embarrassed, he tilted his head, his cold face is full of surprise and amazement, under the eyes of the guilt and blame, can not hide the complex emotions.
“I’m sorry.”
Raylan didn’t know what to say, except to apologize.
“There’s really no need.”
Adriana shook her head, “You’ve helped me a lot before, now we’re even. Of course, you can just tell me if there’s anything you need help with.”
“No, no.”
Raylan leaned over the seat, exhaled deeply, smiled to himself, “This time is what I owe you. adri, in the future what need help, I will go through the fire.”
He didn’t expect that kind of accident to happen at the bar and knew that Adriana must have resented him for this incident.
But it has happened and cannot be reversed.
Sitting by the river, Adriana took off her hat, exposing the gauze wrapped around her head, Raylan looked a bit distressed, “It’s late, I’ll take you back, it’s good to rest early from the injury.”
“Good.”
Adriana was calm.
The blandness, even that a calm and self-possessed face can not see any emotional ups and downs, inexplicably let people feel some coldness.
The more she did, the more nervous Raylan became.
So much so that on the way back from escorting Adriana, she didn’t dare to speak for a long time.
It wasn’t until she arrived at the door of Adriana’s neighborhood and Adriana said thank you that Raylan said, “Adri, I once said that anyone in this world would harm you, and I won’t. I can only say I’m sorry for what happened today, but I will never let you get hurt in any way.”
He was telling Adriana sideways that although he had to commit perjury, he would be there in time if Adriana was in danger.
Adriana unbuckled her seatbelt with a slight stiffness and stared ahead, so at Raylan’s angle it was impossible to see her facial expression.
I only heard her lazily say, “Thank you for driving me back, get some rest early.”
