“Soldiers will come and go.”
Adriana shrugged her shoulders, very open-minded.
In the many years she has known Theresa, her relationship with Theresa has gone from close to broken, and even the latter’s warring of the knives, she has a clear conscience.
Theresa has been given many chances, and if she is still unrepentant, she will really not show any mercy.
“But don’t worry, you’re my Harlee’s sister, even if you don’t want to lay a hand on her, I won’t give that woman the chance to bully you again. If she dares to make a move on you in the future, I promise to make her life worse than death.”
Harlee is still haunted by the memory of what happened to Brenda initially.
Many times in secret complain why they did not protect Adriana properly, otherwise it would not have happened so much.
Hearing Harlee’s words, Adriana smiled but did not say anything.
The bottom of the heart is hard to hide the touch.” It’s better to have a brother. ”
After a moment of silence, she lamented.
“That’s for sure.”
Harlee nodded, looking a bit smug.
After driving for more than half an hour, I arrived at Harlee’s house.
After knowing her identity, Harlee bought a small house on her own. Although not as big as Asnana villa, so luxurious, but three floors of small houses decorated chic, but also considered an elegant residence.
“Come in, play here now for a while, and go to grandpa’s house this afternoon.”
He knows that Adriana and Peter have had a falling out and now Adriana has nowhere to go.
“Good.”
Adriana stood in the courtyard, watching the red plum blossom in the courtyard, in the white snow more charming and demonic, very beautiful.
“Why are you still planting waxberries?”
I can’t see that he Harlee still has the leisure to plant flowers.
“Your sister-in-law likes it, so I planted it.”
“Oh, yeah.”
Adriana walked up to the waxberry tree, raised her hand to depress a branch of waxberry, leaned over and sniffed it, “It smells so good.”
Looking at the flower, it was beautiful, yet it also represented Harlee’s feelings for Eliza, which really made her envious.
When will she and Peter be able to live such a relaxed and comfortable life?
“It’s cold outside, go inside.”
Harlee didn’t sense anything wrong with Adriana, but was still worried about her health.
Adriana gently let go of the waxing plum branch, the branch bounced, and all the snow on it fell and rustled to the ground.
That scene, but somehow beautiful.
Adriana’s lips are slightly hooked, revealing a bitter smile, the bottom of her eyes is unspeakable sadness.
honey, how are you really doing now?
She was not by Peter’s side, but her mind was full of Peter’s figure.
As soon as Harlee said he was vomiting blood, Adriana couldn’t stop her heart from beating wildly, nervous and terrified that he would have an accident.
Following Harlee into the living room, the maid brought over two cups of hot tea, and she and Harlee both sat leisurely on the sofa, gossiping about family matters.
At 4:30 p. m., the two of them simply packed up and left for the Soto family.
“Right, let’s go to the mall first and get something for Grandpa Soto.”
It was hard to go back to the Soto family for once, and Adriana felt the need to do something about Grandpa Soto.
Although he was a subordinate of his mother, but loyalty, treating her like a family member, just that one feeling makes her moved by it, admire.
“Also.”
Harlee couldn’t agree more.
The two went to the mall first and bought two sets of clothes and some nutritional products and went to the Soto family with a big bag.
The Soto family home.
When Adriana entered with Harlee, the yard was busy with servants, perhaps cleaning the yard because it was about to be New Year’s Eve.
“Young master, young lady, you’re back.”
When the maid saw the two enter, she jawed slightly and said, “The old man and the others are inside.”
“Them? Who else?”
Harlee could hear the implication.
“The old man, and … The Alston family third uncle, Archie.”
“Archie?”
Hearing the maid’s words, Adriana and Harlee looked at each other in disbelief.
The previous heavy investigation will know the identity of Archie, he is the biological father of the two.
It’s been more than six months since Ruth disappeared, how come Archie is suddenly coming to the Soto family now?
What is the intention?
“Go inside.”
Adriana shrugged, quite a bit of helplessness, “What should be faced is eventually faced.”
“That’s true, in the end I won’t recognize this ‘dad’ and I’m not afraid to meet with him.”
Harlee and Adriana both entered the hall with their things.
The heating was on in the large hall and it was warm inside.
On the sofa in the Chinese style lobby were Old Mr. Soto, dressed in Tang costume, and Archie, as well as several uncles of the Soto family.
“Grandpa, I’m here with Adri.”
Harlee walked in and swept her eyes over those seated on the couch, finally landing her gaze on Old Mr. Soto, calling out only to Old Mr. Soto.
To others, out of sight.
Adriana, too, is the same.
Don’t think the two men were rude, but there was no one in the large living room who deserved their respect except for Old Mr. Soto.
“Grandpa Soto, I’ve come to see you.”
Adriana carried the stuff in her hand and smiled cheerfully, “Bought you clothes, yo.”
The Soto family was well-off and didn’t lack anything, and Adriana couldn’t think of anything particularly nice to give.
So, as was the custom in the past, I bought two sets of clothes for Grandpa Soto as a token of my filial piety.
“Hahahaha, look at you two, come all the way here, and give me a lousy old man to buy something, a waste, really a waste.”
Old Mr. Soto couldn’t stop smiling.
He stood up, walked around Harlee, took the tote bags from Adriana and put them aside on the couch, “Come on, Adriana, have a seat. It’s snowing outside, is it cold?”
“It’s not cold, it’s fine.”
Adriana sat next to Old Mr. Soto and would smile, “How is Grandpa Soto doing physically?”
“Of course it’s good, the body is just strong.”
He threw back his head and laughed, in a good mood.
“Grandpa! You’re being overly biased haha, Adri mentioned something and I did too, why don’t you see you asking me?”
He was at least a child who grew up with his grandfather, but now he favors Adriana, and although he is somewhat jealous, he is sincerely happy for Adriana.
She is a girl with a hard life, growing up since childhood has experienced too much, while he grew up as a brother in the enjoyment.
In contrast, what Adriana gets now is what she deserves.
“Hmph, you kid is alive and kicking, what do I have to ask? By the way, where’s your daughter-in-law?”
Old Mr. Soto was just asking about Adriana, and now he realized that Eliza hadn’t come along.
“Oops, thought you only remembered Adriana.”
Harlee deliberately sourly said.
“Damn kid, just know how to gaslight me.”
The old man was amused by Harlee, but still kicked him in the leg and questioned, “Did you bully someone Eliza again?”
“Eh, grandpa, what are you talking about, am I that kind of person.”
The three of them were talking and laughing, directly leaving the others behind, causing discomfort in the hearts of some people.
“Hmph, what a lack of upbringing, there are so many of us, you siblings are invisible?”
