With nothing to do after her morning meal with Raylan, Adriana went upstairs to rest in her bedroom.
The person had just laid down when he received a call from Harlee.
Since Harlee and Eliza returned to their home on Preynia Mountain in Floedan six months ago, he has never wanted to return.
“Where is it?”
The call was just answered and Harlee’s voice rang out on that section.
“I …”
Adriana scanned the room, thought for a moment, and said, “I’m abroad on business.”
The reason why I didn’t tell Harlee the truth was because I was worried that he would find out the end.
“Heh, business trip?”
The other side gave a soft chortle, not believing Adriana’s words at all.
“Well, business trips.”
“What, you’re going to keep it from me, your own brother, too, aren’t you?”
“What a mess, I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Adriana’s heart thumped, thinking that Harlee must have heard something, otherwise she wouldn’t have spoken in such a strange tone.
“Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on over there just because I’m not in Waverly. adriana, I’m your brother, and I don’t want you to hide anything from me.”
Harlee’s tone was low and clearly a little upset.
The matter has come to this, then there is nothing to hide.
“Now that you know, why do you come to ask me?”
From before to now, Adriana has kept things from Peter.
Harlee knows that Peter is not well and is healing, but does not know that Adriana feeds on blood day in and day out.
After being questioned by her, the man on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment and then said, “I know what you are, and Jue doesn’t believe you’re having an affair with Raylan. So, shouldn’t you tell me what’s really going on?”
In the end, she is his sister, the closest person in the world.
Harlee was naturally worried.
“What what situation? We’re all adults, men and women having sex, what’s not normal. Besides, I just drank too much that one time, accident, accident.”
For Peter, he is willing to carry the black pot to the end does not matter.
“Accident? Ohhhh, do you think I’m an idiot, or do you think I’ll believe you when you say three words? If you had feelings for Raylan, you wouldn’t have been so thin-skinned towards him in the first place.”
“What does this have to do with being thin-skinned or not? I told you, it’s drunken confusion.”
“So it wasn’t you who slept with Raylan, and you Raylan took advantage of the situation to be the villain?”
Adriana: “…”
A scourge that directly pits Raylan?
“No, Raylan was drunk too. Drunk as hell.”
“Really? You can still sleep with you when you’re drunk as hell? Did you forget that I am a man. Hmm?”
It is absolutely impossible for a man to have a relationship with a woman if he is really drunk to that point.
In that case, it can only mean that there is definitely something wrong with Adriana’s words.
Either, everything she just did was a lie; or she was slighted by Raylan.
But listening to the casual manner in which Adriana now speaks, it is not as if she has been slighted, but is deliberately concealing something.
“Wait for me, I’ll be right there.”
“Huh? Right away?”
Stunned, Adriana sat up with a start, reaching up to rub her hair, “Where are you now?”
“Fryer Group.”
“Fryer Group? You … that you … beep beep beep …”
Before Adriana could finish her sentence, Harlee had already hung up the phone.
She looked at the hung-up phone and stared speechlessly at the ceiling.
What the hell?
Why did you go back to Waverly without saying anything?
She had a vague feeling that Harlee would get Raylan into trouble if she did come over.
She’s always been enough of a problem for Raylan, and this time Adriana doesn’t want to be a problem for Raylan.
Get up and go downstairs.
Raylan is drinking tea in the living room by himself in a leisurely manner.
“Why did you come downstairs?”
Raylan looked at her, “You need more rest right now.”
“It’s too tiring to lie down.”
Walking over to Raylan and sitting down, Raylan poured her a cup of tea and tossed her a blanket by the side, “Blanket hitch, it’s cold.”
The air conditioning was clearly on, but Raylan still took great care of her.
“It’s okay, I’m not that weak anywhere.”
She pursed her lips and smiled.
Hanging his head to gaze at the tea on the low table, white porcelain cups of tea green, smoking curls of smoke, tea fragrance to the nose.
“I … I actually just wanted to tell you that Harlee is coming over later.”
All are smart people, she is just a word, Raylan understand her meaning.
The man’s hand holding the tea slightly, gently blowing the hot air, “What do you want me to say?”
He gently set down his cup and glanced sideways, his questioning eyes falling on hers.
Open-minded, wise, but at the same time undisguised love for Adriana in the eyes.
It is that kind of emotion that makes Adriana feel more and more heavy and depressed.
“I … I don’t know.”
Adriana shook her head, not knowing how to answer.
She couldn’t find a suitable excuse.
If Harlee is not in Waverly, all is well.
But now that Harlee is coming over and confronting her face to face, she’s afraid the truth will come out.
When it comes out, Harlee will not be able to hide anything.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this.”
“Leave it to you? And what are you going to tell him?”
“Don’t worry about it, you don’t have to ask much, to ensure that you help you handle it properly.”
Raylan leaned back on the couch, looking bashful and calm.
“Raylan, I owe you enough, and I don’t want you to be aggravated because of me, let alone get into unnecessary trouble.”
She guessed it.
Raylan will surely say that he hawked her, and then will let Harlee beat her up.
This is the easiest way to solve the problem.
Only all the responsibility is taken by him.
How could Adriana say yes.
“Lice are not afraid to bite.”
His thin lips slightly hooked, like a spring smile.
It is clearly just a bright and simple smile, but the pair of deep, bottomless pupils give the illusion of complexity.
“That’s more than okay.”
Adriana immediately retorted, “Don’t say anything when Harlee comes over later, I naturally know how to answer.”
When she called Harlee just now, she lied and said she was abroad. Harlee didn’t ask, but instead said he was at the Fryer Group and was coming over to see her.
Apparently, Harlee already knew where she was.
“You are always thinking of others, when can you think more for yourself?”
Raylan thinks Adriana is really stupid.
“And you, why not.”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
After sitting in the living room for a while, gossiping about family matters, for almost half an hour or so, the roar of a car sounded outside the villa.
It didn’t take long for Harlee to enter the yard and barge right into the living room.
“Raylan …”
In a white trench coat, Harlee wore a red scarf around her neck, and a little snow fell on her fluffy black hair, making the face darker.
When you think about it, you can understand, after all, the countryside is not more than the establishment, every day in the office, it is inevitable that you will be tanned.
But a little darker but Harlee gives a calm and tough atmosphere, more handsome, a standard type of man.
