Having known Raylan before, their relationship was not very good, but not bad either.
“What Adri says is true.”
Raylan propped his elbows on his knees and said very blandly, “Since you take me as a friend, you should know my character.”
“You …”
Harlee didn’t know what to say.
Because according to Raylan’s character, really will not do anything against Adriana.
In this way, the problem must lie with Adriana.
He let out a very puzzled sigh, “I just can’t figure out what Adriana is hiding from me.”
Intuition tells him that Raylan must understand the situation, but still hides it from him along with Adriana.
Raylan didn’t say anything, seemingly unsure of what to say to Harlee.
After all, Adriana’s affairs have to be kept secret, and he certainly won’t betray Adriana in front of Harlee.
The three men were just at a standstill.
At noon, the villa’s maids prepared lunch before Adriana came downstairs.
The three sat down at the table, but Harlee realized there was no wine.
“Where’s the wine?”
Harlee wrinkled her eyebrows, slightly offended, “I came over on a rare occasion, should I even skimp on a bottle of wine?”
“I quit drinking.”
Raylan knows Adriana can’t drink.
Now Harlee came over, if you take the wine out, I am afraid that Harlee will pull Adriana to drink, if Adriana drink will affect the body, but do not drink, and will attract suspicion.
All things considered, he didn’t take the wine out after all.
“You can’t even see that? It’s almost as if Raylan just opened his mouth and kicked him out.”
Adriana, who was sitting across the table, held her chopsticks and took a chopstick of green vegetables, chewing it carefully while mocking.
“Is that how you undermine your own brother?”
Harlee does not feel the least bit embarrassed, but instead snorts a laugh, “According to your relationship with Raylan, he would only treat me as a friend, how could he reject me. Unless, of course, you have an ulterior motive to get Raylan to cooperate with you and drive me away.”
There is no one sitting in the room who is stupid.
With a little brain analysis and analysis, you can know what is going on.
He put down his chopsticks and propped his elbows on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly as he surveyed Adriana, thoughtfully, “It’s okay if you don’t say, I’ll ask Peter directly.”
Adriana, who was eating rice, frowned lightly, her gaze sank, and slowly raised her eyes, “If you dare to go to A… Peter, I will break off the brother-sister relationship with you.”
As she spoke, her vermillion lips pulled out a curve, “You know my character, absolutely on the mark.”
She didn’t bother to tangle with Harlee over this matter and said directly, “I don’t need you to get involved in my affairs, just mind your own business. If you feel uncomfortable with your current life, I will talk to Grandpa Soto and let them leave anything to you.”
God knows what kind of pain Harlee was suffering while she was in love with Eliza.
“But I’m doing it for your own good!”
“For my own good? Then you know what I want?”
Harlee: “…”
He was speechless in the face of Adriana’s questioning.
Then Adriana added, “I can give myself what I want, and I don’t need anyone else to interfere yet. If you don’t want me to flip, then you can pretend you don’t know about me.”
“Then you …”
“Shut up!”
Adriana’s fair and delicate cheeks were tinged with a bit of anger, “I repeat, if you continue to ramble in front of me, then from today onwards, there is no need to see each other again.”
“Shit!”
Harlee was furious, stood up in a flash, turned around and walked away.
Walked resolutely, did not look back.
It wasn’t until the back disappeared outside the living room that Raylan asked, “That was your brother, caring for you. Isn’t it inappropriate to do that?”
“What about you, you don’t have a good relationship with your brother either, how come you haven’t thought about fitting in?”
In a bad mood, Adriana disliked Raylan unceremoniously.
After the words were said, I suddenly felt that the words were a bit mean, so I apologized, “Sorry, I … shouldn’t have said that. It’s just a little annoying.”
Holding the chopsticks, poking around in the rice, the irritation was unmistakable.
Raylan glanced at the rice in front of her, slowly lowered his eyelids, and said angrily to the maid on the side, “Help me …”
I did not expect to finish a sentence, I saw a figure walk in the living room door.
Who else could that person be if not Harlee?
Harlee walked back, pulled out her chair, and sat across from Adriana again.
Adriana glanced at him and asked in an uncharacteristic manner, “If you left, why did you come back?”
“Then you are my sister, how can I still behave with you in general?”
He snorted lightly, picked up the rice and started wolfing it down, “I didn’t even eat in order to come over to you, you’re really a little heartless.”
Harlee muttered as she ate.
He kept complaining that Adriana didn’t know how to understand him as a brother, didn’t understand his concern and so on.
Blah, blah, blah.
Adriana cried and laughed, but knew that Harlee meant to care for her and was really nice to her, so she didn’t say anything.
After the three of them hastily settled their lunch, Adriana asked, “It’s almost New Year’s Eve, so if we come back now, will we still go at the end of the year?”
“Who will spend New Year’s with you if I go?”
Harlee gave her a blank look, “Now the two kids think you’re abroad too, and you and Peter don’t know what’s going on, so how can I leave you?”
It is clear that the tone of speech is somewhat disgusting, but between the lines is concern for her.
Adriana was very touched in her heart.
She couldn’t stop smiling, “Not bad for my brother, kind of a little conscience. But it’s okay, I’ve gotten used to it over the years. As for you, you and Eliza just got married, you must spend New Year’s together this year.”
For some reason, Adriana really envies the pure and beautiful relationship between Harlee and Eliza.
Before, I thought Harlee was an unorthodox man, but now it seems that it is not bad.
It only means that Eliza has a pretty good eye.
I believe that for the rest of their lives, they will be very happy.
“Wife is important, but you are not important? As far as I know, Vivian is having a baby with Edward now, so she still has time for you there? So, I called your sister-in-law over to spend New Year’s Eve together this year.”
“Are you crazy, didn’t you say that your sister-in-law is pregnant?”
“It’s fine, it’s only been a little over three months, a safe period.”
Harlee raises an eyebrow and smiles, doting on Adriana.
Adriana cried and laughed, shaking her head repeatedly, “I’m fine, I’m fine. Why are you bothering your sister-in-law to come over? I’ll call my sister-in-law, it’s better to ask her not to come over.”
She took out her cell phone and made a gesture to call Eliza.
The phone was snatched away by Harlee before the number could be dialed.
“She’s coming over whether you call or not. Grandpa called me two days ago to spend New Year’s Eve together at THE Soto family.”
Raised an eyebrow towards Adriana with a meaningful look.
No matter what, Harlee is a child who grew up in the Soto family.
This is the first year after I got married to Eliza, so it is understandable that I have to spend New Year’s Eve in the Soto family.
