Upstairs, Vivian and Adriana are sitting in their room, Vivian is pregnant and leaning on the bed, telling Adriana about the events of the recent period.
Adriana listened quietly before asking, “Tell me, do you like Edward or not?”
Vivian and Edward have been entangled for many years now, and she knows that the two of them are in a tangled mess.
“I … I don’t know.”
Vivian pursed her lips and lowered her head, not daring to look at Adriana.
The hesitant and hesitant expression, so Adriana also can not understand, so did not ask further questions.
Just tell her, saying, “You know why I left Edward behind?”
“Why?”
“You look at you and Edward two, from the past entangled to now, grudges and grievances for many years, you also hide for many years. Some things are not hiding with you to avoid, but also need to face head-on.
At Asnana villa, with Peter and me, no one will bully you. And this time is your best chance to spend time with Edward, and you can think carefully about your future situation.”
If Vivian is allowed to avoid Edward all the time, then there will never be a way for the two of them to work it out.
The only way to find a solution to the problem between them is to be open and peaceful with each other.
Another point, Adriana did not tell Vivian, that is, she remembered a saying, ‘can not get always in the stirring’, Edward can not get Vivian has been constantly chasing her, now let the two under the same roof, time is long, Edward tired of it, will let her go.
“Well, I’m all yours, Ms. Hale.”
Vivian trusts Adriana.
Adriana did not disappoint Vivian, she said, “In the future, when you go out, I will send someone to follow you, don’t be afraid.”
Then patted her shoulder and said, “Lie down and rest for a while, you just got off the plane, you need to get some rest now.”
“Well, thanks Ms. Hale.”
“You don’t have to be polite with me.”
She helped Vivian lie down and covered her with thin bedding before she got up and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Downstairs in a small living room, four people were playing mahjong in a frenzy.
Adriana stood in the second floor hallway, tilting her head just enough to see them.
She did not stop a few people from playing mahjong, but instead broke the rules and went to prepare fruit snacks and sent them over.
“Have something to eat.”
Adriana placed the fruit plates on either side and looked at the tiles in their hands with a bewildered look because she didn’t know mahjong.
It was Harlee who smacked her lips, “Adriana, are you going to be a good wife and mother? Your husband is playing mahjong, and you are serving tea?”
“That is, that is. Big brother, you will be blessed in the future.”
Zac chimed in.
Edward, who was looking at the cards, snorted contemptuously, “With that fierce look of hers, how can she become a virtuous wife and mother.”
The words fell, suddenly felt where something wrong, a look up, brush brush brush, a few eyes all shot over.
Edward frowned, Harlee and Adriana, Peter, they are a family, but …
“Zac, we’re brothers, you can’t turn your elbow out.”
Edward landed his last hope on Zac, but heard Zac say, “Well, I’m sorry, but they’re both my ‘bread and butter’ now.”
His boss.
“Get out!”
Edward was speechless and gave him a blank look, exasperated.
Several men played mahjong, and Adriana didn’t bother to stand around and watch, but went to the kitchen and ordered it to prepare lunch.
Because of the large number of people, it was the first time that so many people came to the clean Asnana villa, and the kitchen started to be busy.
At noon, lunch was ready before the few men over there broke up.
Adriana walked over and asked, “Who won?”
Peter smiled slightly towards Adriana, smiling smugly, but in contrast, the guys were frustrated and unhappy.
Peter walked up to Adriana, took Adriana’s hand, and placed a stack of checks in Adriana’s hand, “Adriana, this is what they paid for their meals.”
Adriana looked at the checks in her hand, there were one million a piece, two million a piece, or three million, or even five million, a thick pile, she couldn’t help but smile, “You’re the only one who won?”
“That’s natural.”
Adriana was amused and looked at the pile of checks and laughed: “Don’t worry, you won’t be treated badly, you’ll have enough for every meal.”
Harlee gave Adriana a blank look, “I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat back all that money I lost for the rest of my life.”
Intending to eat that money back, there’s really nothing possible.
“It only means that you are not capable.”
Adriana teased.
Harlee immediately said, “You’re getting a good deal.”
Zac sighed, “Are you as miserable as I am, so easy to get a month’s advance salary, but also doubled backwards.”
On the contrary, Edward looked indifferent and did not dare to squeal when he lost more.
Because once he opens his mouth to speak, he risks being thrown out, and he’s not going to make a fool of himself.
Adriana laughed and looked at Peter, “I didn’t realize you were that good at mahjong too, what else don’t I know?”
“A lot.”
The man smiled faintly, Adriana did not care, only said: “You can not play in the afternoon, you are not well, need to lie in bed and rest.”
Now Peter’s health is the least of Adriana’s worries, and of course he can’t be allowed to play cards with reckless abandon.
After all, it’s the body that counts.
Zac agreed, “Yes, just play for a while, big brother you’re better off resting.”
Edward did not say anything, which is the default.
“Okay, you guys go eat, I’ll go get Vivian.”
Adriana went upstairs and entered the room, Vivian, who had slept for a while, woke up and Adriana asked, “Did you sleep?”
“Hmm.”
“Then get up and eat, lunch is ready.”
Vivian inclined her head in the direction of the door, “With him …?”
In the end, as long as the mention of Edward, Vivian vaguely look forward to, but also very afraid, the kind of complex emotions even she herself are a little elusive.
“Don’t be afraid, there are many more people. As long as I am here, no one will bully you.” Adriana took her hand, “Some things always have to be faced, you can’t hide even if you hide.”
“All right then.”
Now that Adriana has spoken, what else can Vivian say?
Not to mention that everything was already well organized, Vivian felt at ease with Adriana because she was like a real sister who took good care of her.
The two came downstairs and several men were already seated.
When Peter saw Adriana approaching, he got up and waved towards Adriana, “You two do this side.”
One by one, they moved the chairs for the two, extremely gentlemanly.
It is inconceivable that Peter, whose body is already weak to the extreme, still thinks of her in every way.
Adriana’s heart was touched, she smiled heartily and subconsciously looked at Edward, only to see that Edward’s eyes kept gazing at Vivian.
Vivian felt his burning gaze, not daring to look directly at, kept his head down.
