Very worried that Edward would refuse her request, nervous even the massage in his hands stopped.
Watching him, quietly waiting for the result.
One second …
Half a minute …
One minute …
Although it was a short passage of time, it was an ordeal for Vivian.
She was full of expectation, delayed waiting for an answer, slightly a few disappointed lowered her eyelids, “Since you can’t …”
“I’ll stay with you and bring Ashtyn.”
Without waiting for Vivian to finish her words, Edward cut her off.
Vivian opened her eyes in some disbelief, “What did you say?”
“I said, go back with you and take Ashtyn with you.”
Edward repeated, moving to lie on his side and looking at Vivian, “What, you don’t want me to join you?”
“Huh? No, no, it’s not a thing.”
The mouth says no, but the flickering eyes have already betrayed Vivian’s heart.
It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but she doesn’t dare to think about it.
Edward is smart enough to know what she is doing back there now.
The day after tomorrow is the anniversary of her mother’s death and she wants to go back to pay her respects to her late mother.
“Okay, let’s eat, I’m hungry.”
Edward sat up, walked around Vivian’s side, got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth.
Although it was noon, he had only returned this morning and hadn’t had time to wash up.
Vivian, sitting on the bed, heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom before she returned to her senses and subconsciously looked in the direction of the bathroom, doubly disbelieving.
Edward … actually wants to go back with her?
That incident has always been in his heart, and in her heart, it is also a permanent pain.
Although she now knew that her mother’s death had nothing to do with Edward, she had a hard time accepting it for a moment.
…
the Powells Villa.
Because Adriana arrived at noon, it was already 10:00 a. m., so she didn’t rush to leave, but dined at Raylan’s house.
“Raylan, you’re a great cook, too.”
At the table, looking at a table of food, Adriana was amazed, “You all cook very well, but I …”
You guys-
A ‘you guys’ made Adriana suddenly think of someone and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
She was talking about Peter and Raylan.
Just the mention of Peter made her worried about Peter’s condition.
Naive now and do not dare to visit Peter, can only sit quietly here, nothing can help.
Raylan sipped the wine in front of him, his eyes squinted at Adriana, and with just one glance he knew what was on her mind.
“With your ability, it’s not easy to go see him?”
Raylan said, “If you want to go, just go, what are you doing?”
“Heh, just go if you want to?”
Adriana laughed.
Picked up the delicate white porcelain bowl on the table, held the chopsticks and took a chopstick of rice into his mouth and chewed slowly.
“How am I going to meet him? I’m afraid Peter hates me now.”
She originally thought that the days of her childhood would be the most tormenting and sad in her life, but did not expect to grow up to make her life more like years and pain.
No one can understand how she feels at this moment, the kind of silent devotion, deep love, but only to let each other drown in misunderstanding and mutual torture.
“Didn’t Zac introduce the latest instruments? If the blood in your body can fuse with the mother parasite, then you can have a showdown with Peter. At that time, all the misunderstandings will be solved.”
“Let’s hope so.”
Adriana didn’t dare to get her hopes up.
She sighed in frustration, lowered her head and ate in silence.
“It’s almost New Year’s Eve, how are you going to spend it this year?”
Raylan digressed.
But after saying that, it turns out that the topic mentioned is even more sad for Adriana.
She shook her head, “I don’t know.”
The little woman put down the dishes and picked up Raylan’s red wine with one hand, wanting to take a sip, only to have it snatched away by Raylan just as it reached her mouth, “You’re weak now, you can’t drink.”
Adriana skimmed, looked at the glass of red wine, sighed, then leaned back in the seat, eyes staring forward, “You know, Peter and I have known each other for many years, even after the child was four years old, it is now more than six years, but the only time we eat New Year’s Eve dinner is surprisingly in prison. ”
That happened last year.
At that time Brenden everywhere against Peter, Brenden and The Alston family old man two hand in hand to send Peter to prison, so in order to go to see him, he appeared in prison as a woman dressed as a man, and then with Alvin, Zac, Edward, and two children to accompany him to spend New Year’s Day.
Now when I recall, everything is so beautiful and desirable.
Adriana was immersed in memories and couldn’t help but smile, “Other people’s lives are simple, even mundane to the point of being boring, and my life? It’s a terrible mess. Even TV shows don’t dare to stage it that way.”
She looked at Raylan and asked, “Got a cigarette, I’d like one.”
“No!”
The man refused outright.
Although he could not feel the kind of sad emotions Adriana was feeling, he really felt for her.
A small woman’s life is already difficult, but also experienced so many things, how can he not heartbroken?
“If … if everything never, let you meet Peter will still happen these things, and do not meet him, life banal and simple. How would you choose?”
Raylan never asks these childish questions, but now really wants to know.
Adriana fell into something, looking straight ahead, her eyes empty and widowed.
After a few seconds, she shook her head.
“No.”
No?
This result was a surprise to Raylan.
He had thought that Adriana’s nature would be to say without thinking, ‘I would choose to meet Peter’.
“I’m not as strong as you think, but I’m just a woman. I just want to live a simple life, even if I earn two thousand a month, even if I remain with my adoptive mother and be reprimanded by him in various ways, I feel that it does not matter, and I will even feel that I just have to work hard to earn money. Look at the life now, it is worse than I could have imagined. Love? Also become complicated, there is no reason I will continue to choose the current life.”
Love is important, and Peter is certainly good.
But the love is too painful.
Raylan wasn’t saying anything.
“There’s a good movie coming out today, want to go see a movie together tonight?”
He asked tentatively.
Naturally, there was no answer from Adriana.
“Even if you dwell on this matter now, you won’t get a solution, so why not indulge yourself and have a good time?”
Raylan never interferes with anyone’s private life, and Adriana is the first person he wants to interfere with.
He just wants Adriana to be happy and have a good life.
“Let’s talk about it tonight. My sister-in-law is coming over today and may not have time tonight.”
“No time to accompany me, you can also accompany your sister-in-law together to see the movie is also good.”
Adriana raised her eyes and looked at Raylan, their eyes met, and for a moment, a light smile tugged at the corners of her lips.
