Vivian looked at the red packet handed over by Edward and did not refuse.
Because she knew that Edward was not short of money, the money was only ninety cents to him.
So take the money straight away.
The ward, which was lively just now, became quiet instantly because of their departure.
“Ashtyn, Ashtyn, you little sloth, why don’t you open your eyes and look at Mommy?”
She holds the child and amuses him.
Edward stood aside with a stony face, no one knew what he was thinking about.
And at the same time.
Adriana, who was going home with Peter, was sitting in the car when her phone suddenly rang.
She glanced at her phone’s caller ID, which clearly showed Raylan’s name.
Adriana’s eyebrows knitted together and she glanced at Peter out of the corner of her eye, not even daring to look him in the eye.
After a few seconds of hesitation, she answered it.
“Raylan?”
Placing the phone next to her ear, she asked.
“Where are you now?”
“Just went to see Vivian, on my way back.”
“Are you free tonight to have dinner together?”
“Today?”
“Yes.”
Adriana hesitated and glanced at Peter, only to see him concentrating on his driving, as if he had no reaction to Raylan calling her.
If she hadn’t seen Peter outside the window that day and seen her and Raylan playing around, she would have thought Peter didn’t know anything.
But that’s not true …
“Okay, I’ll see you tonight then.”
Adriana hung up the phone.
Holding the phone, she whispered, ” That … Raylan came to Waverly and asked to have dinner with me tonight.”
She said Raylan was going to have dinner with her …
Instead, you have to bring Peter.
“Go ahead.”
Answer without thinking.
Adriana was a little surprised to get the other side’s consent so quickly, and didn’t even understand what was going on in Peter’s mind.
But …
Something she had to do to get on with it.
The two returned to Asnana villa and in the afternoon, Peter went straight into the study and did not come out for the whole afternoon.
Adriana worked in her bedroom, and when the evening came, she cleaned up, walked outside the study, knocked directly on the door, stood outside and said, “Honey, I’m going out to dinner, do you want to go out with me?”
If she really wanted to invite Peter over with her, she should have stood in front of Peter, not outside the door of the study.
“No, I have some things I need to take care of.”
“That’s fine, I’ll go over there.”
Adriana said hello and left Asnana villa straight away.
Drove to the usual place and met Raylan at a Western restaurant.
Raylan was alone, without the woman named Siena by his side.
Two people sitting near the window, looking out of the window, each face gloomy.
After a good few minutes of doing this, Adriana didn’t say anything, and Raylan didn’t speak either.
“I … really don’t know what to do.”
Adriana took a sip of coffee and sighed while shaking her head, reaching up to support her forehead with a pained expression, “honey knows everything, but acts so calmly that I don’t even know what mood to use to face her.”
Helpless, helpless, pathetic, pitiful.
“So what do you want to do?”
Raylan asked.
Before Floedan returned, he and Adriana two discussed the plan is deliberately in front of Peter to play in order to eliminate the previous Peter’s suspicion of Adriana.
Although the last 15th has been spent, but there are countless 15th behind.
Adriana has no other way to avoid Peter’s suspicion, the only thing she can do now is to do so, only to distract Peter’s attention from her suspicion of what she is really doing.
Perhaps, the next lunar fifteenth, when Adriana leaves, Peter will think that Adriana took the opportunity to go out for a private meeting with Raylan when he was sick.
That kind of put her fears to rest.
But everything is too much for Adriana to bear, too much for her.
Also tortured and tormented is Peter.
“It’s already started, and there’s no turning back, or Peter will definitely suspect you.”
How could he not know the current situation?
Peter was already very suspicious, and it was very difficult to make him suspicious at once. If Adriana gave up in the middle, I’m afraid that in a short time, Peter would definitely know the truth that Adriana was hiding from him.
The consequences would then be unimaginable.
“I know, I know all about it …”
Adriana wrapped one hand around her chest, covered her forehead with one hand, closed her eyes, and sank into the pain struggling and wandering.
For a long time, she put down her hand, picked up her coffee and took a sip.
Raylan looked over, only to see the little woman that a fair and delicate cheeks full of pale and haggard, full of sad face, look heartbreaking.
“What is Peter’s virtue to have a woman who is so in love with him.”
He was envious, picked up his coffee, took a sip of it, snorted a laugh, “There are times when I really envy Peter, envy your love for him, envy that he can have you.”
Raylan rarely gets caught up in love, and even before he met Adriana, he wouldn’t have been interested in any woman at all, but he met Adriana.
Then it was also the appearance of Adriana that changed his thoughts and perceptions of relationships.
It turns out that love is something so beautiful and painfully engraved in your bones.
“Raylan, don’t be silly.”
Adriana laughed, a helpless laugh.
She took a deep breath and looked out at the snow-capped world, “What you see is always beautiful, not knowing how painful it is behind everything. I do hope you can live a good life, find a person you like, simple life, is the best.”
All Adriana wanted in this life was a simple and uneventful life, but now what.
She is living an ordinary life, but not a simple one, every day is anxious, fearful, she really worried that one day Peter found the truth, will give up treatment, will make all the previous efforts lost.
“I was wondering if, in the end, Peter wouldn’t accept you, would you be willing to give me a chance?”
Raylan suddenly asked a question.
His question had been asked a long time ago, but after a long gap of six months, he asked Adriana once again, and Adriana responded calmly.
She shook her head, “You know how I feel about honey, I love him, and a heart can only hold one person. So, Raylan, what I owe you in this life, I may not be able to pay it back, but I will not give my life to you either. If, one day, you need my help, even if it is a life, I will give you.”
Some things really can’t be given.
For example, feelings.
“Heh heh heh …”
Raylan suddenly smiled, a bashful smile, that cold face gives a sunny and affable feeling.
“Gee, I may really only be able to envy Peter in this life, envy him for having you. adri, I won’t give you a hard time anymore.”
The reason for making things difficult for Adriana was that he had a sudden physical condition that he could not control.
But after six months with Siena, his body was under good control, and he would not lose control of many things, and he naturally would not do anything to hurt Adriana.
