Adriana’s attitude had given Peter the answer he wanted.
His hand holding the chopsticks paused, not speaking.
After the meal, Adriana grabbed the dishes, took them to the kitchen, and washed them.
By the time she walked out of the kitchen, Peter had gone upstairs to the study and it was Hank who appeared in the living room instead.
Hank saw Adriana and walked up to her. Adriana subconsciously looked back to the second floor, somewhat avoiding Peter for fear of being discovered by him.
Leading Hank to the gate, she asked, “Has there been anything unusual since he … returned?”
In fact, many things Adriana has seen, but more than anything, she wants to know from Hank the most real reaction of Peter.
Hank gathered the scarf around his neck and sighed, “Young lady, let you suffer.”
He took a step back and bowed ninety degrees to Adriana, “A thousand words cannot express my respect for you, but I, Hank, put my word here that from today onwards, if you say the word, I will go through fire and water.”
Maybe he didn’t have a good attitude and impression of Adriana before, but this time he truly admired Adriana and was truly impressed with her.
It is only then that you know that the woman your boss is looking at is really good.
Adriana smiled bitterly, “You don’t have to thank me, I’m all for honey only.”
“Yes, I know. But boss he …”
Hank shook his head with a sigh, his face gloomy, “After coming back from there, he has been shutting himself up in his study, eating very little every day.”
If it weren’t for Peter’s poor health and for the sake of his health, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to eat even a tiny bit of food.
Adriana’s eyebrows knitted together, turned around and looked out at the snow flying, the sky was overcast, giving a depressing sense of dreariness.
She sighed in frustration, “It’s definitely not going to work in the long run, Hank, please take the trouble to persuade him.”
“Yes , I know, young lady. On the contrary, you must take good care of your health.”
“Hmm.”
Adriana turned around and went upstairs to the study.
In the study, Peter is busy working.
The more he saw Adriana, the more he felt that she was weak and emaciated, which was heartbreaking.
“Adriana, it just so happens that you have nothing to do today, would you like to accompany me to the hospital?”
“To the hospital, for what?”
“I want to have a full body checkup, and you can’t be left behind. luis and Helen and the others have already done it, you and I are the only ones left.”
A few days ago, he planned for Raylan and Siena to come to Waverly, and he asked Siena to check out Adriana’s body.
It turns out that because Adriana went to Floedan and met with Raylan, he now doesn’t want to see Raylan again, much less Siena.
“Physical examination?”
Adriana was a little flustered and smiled sardonically, even her smile was a little unnatural.
“Do not want it, we still have to go to Los Angeles for the New Year. Want to do a medical checkup later in the day, not in a hurry.”
She pulled a random excuse and declined.
Now that her body is weak, Peter pulls her for a medical checkup, clearly being overly suspicious of her.
Adriana didn’t want to give Peter any chance.
“Luis and the guys are all in Waverly and no one has gone to LA.”
Peter said directly.
“Huh? Not going to LA? Why?”
Adriana’s heart stuttered.
Get up, she already knew in her heart, just did not show it.
Although she is not in Waverly, but Waverly still have Zac, Peter still have Hank beside, want to know the situation, just need to ask a clear.
Walked to Peter’s side, took his hand, pouted a smile, ” honey, you promised me before that you would take me to Los Angeles for New Year’s Eve, after all, Anne is still over there, how come you suddenly changed your mind.”
She stood at the table, Peter felt the coldness of the little woman’s hands, and that original slight coldness was melted away.
Wrapping his arms directly around her waist, he sat her on his lap, “I want to spend New Year’s Eve with you at home, because this is our home.”
He hugged Adriana, looking down at the little woman in his arms, lifting his hand to cover her lips, but his mind suddenly recalled the intimacy between her and Raylan in the Floedan quadrangle that day, and Peter resisted a bit.
Raising his hand, he landed on her dark hair, gently ruffled it, and softly said, “In the future, wherever you want to go, I will accompany you.”
“Really? honey, you’re really nice.”
Adriana hugged his waist, closed her eyes and felt the warmth and scent of his body, it was so familiar and beautiful.
“Zac said you will be healed soon. honey, have you thought about where we will go to play after you are healed? You want to make a plan now, after you are healed, we go to the north and south, where you want to go, to have a go to fulfill, okay?”
“Not good.”
Men intuitively refuse.
Adriana jerked her eyes open and looked at him, somewhat confused as to what Peter meant.
“I don’t want any trip, I just want to be with you, to make up for all that love I missed with you all over again.”
He couldn’t open or close his mouth without those things.
This shows that she and Raylan two people playing games has been believed by him to be true, in his heart deeply rooted, only to stimulate him.
“Adriana, I know it was my bad in the past, so … I’m not in any position to meddle in your affairs. In the future, I will make up for it with all my heart …”
You will no longer be given the opportunity or reason to make mistakes.
The words, he mumbled in his mind, but did not say them.
In the back of Peter’s mind, he took what Raylan said to heart and knew that Adriana was an adult and understandably had needs in that area.
And his incompetence, weakness, let Adriana with him as in widowhood, only to make her helpless to make an irrational choice.
Peter can understand, but that doesn’t mean he can forgive.
Although countless times in the heart tell themselves must not count those, must let go.
But when I really saw Adriana, the memory just seemed to take root in my head and I couldn’t let go.
“Oops, what a mess.”
Adriana pretended not to understand, stood up from his arms, said: “Since we are not going to Los Angeles this year, then pack up, let’s go back to Orchard House, okay? For more than half a year, we have not been able to spend time with our two children. It’s New Year’s Eve, our family must be reunited.”
“Well, okay, listen to Adriana.”
Peter readily agreed.
Meanwhile, Blossomland villa.
Vivian woke up early in the morning, it was already after 9:00 am.
She opened her eyes and swept the bedside, and Edward was no longer beside her.
He always does this, appearing when he sleeps and disappearing when the person wakes up.
Vivian got up, washed up and went downstairs, only to find Edward downstairs, sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.
“Sir, madam has come downstairs, can we dine now?”
When the maid saw Vivian walking down, she went up to Edward and asked.
Edward put down the newspaper, looked up at Vivian on the stairs, got up and walked straight to the dining room and sat down.
