“It’s okay. When you’re better, we’ll spend every day with our two kids and live the simplest of lives. Okay?”
For Adriana, he would really give up everything.
Experiencing too much, from the everlasting supremacy, to the first time he felt like it, to now he passively endures the silent giving of his lover to him, even if it is life without caring, that kind of love deep in his bones completely let Peter awaken.
He said, “I understand now that all is not important, the most important thing is that you, me and the children, we are together, harmonious and happy, is the best.”
No power, no money, no surprise like seeing Adriana awake at this moment makes him more excited and happy.
He used to feel a sense of accomplishment when he took down tens of billions of cooperation projects, but those feelings of accomplishment were not prominent, or just for a moment, after which they turned into peace.
And now, seeing Adriana awakened, the excitement, the excitement, the satisfaction, the ecstasy, all of which he had not felt in his life.
Peter finally knows what he wants.
“Hmm.”
Adriana’s pale lips pulled out a light smile and did not answer Peter.
Because she doesn’t know what her health is really like, and she doesn’t know how long she can hold out, and how long she can stay with him.
“Adri, before it was my bad, misunderstood you and let you bear a lot alone. So, you must get well quickly, and then … let you bully back properly.”
“Poof …”
Adriana was amused by Peter, “I dare to bully you? Those brothers of yours coming over, one mouthful of spittle, would drown me.”
“They wouldn’t dare, and if anyone dares to object, I will definitely abolish him.”
Peter’s tone was extremely gentle and his hands cupped Adriana’s hands and never let go of them.
As if in fear that as soon as he lets go, Adriana will leave again.
“Sweet … Anne her, how is it going?”
Adriana changed the subject and asked about Anne.
“Not dead, and the child Rene in her womb is unharmed.”
“When did you find out who Anne was?” Adriana asked.
Peter wrinkled his eyebrows and thought about it, and said bluntly, “Just when you thought that Juliana, the food anchor, was Brenden’s real wife, I had already investigated Anne’s identity. Only you are very close to her, for one thing, I am afraid to say will stimulate you, you will not believe; secondly, Anne has not done anything to materially hurt you.”
Yeah, haven’t done any substantial harm.
But it was he who woke up with the benefit of hindsight and knew that the person who really gave him the poison was Anne, only to learn that …
How much she is hated.
“What about the compulsion …?”
Adriana is not stupid, there are some things that if you analyze carefully, you will always guess some situation.
Peter slightly jawed, “Yes, the compulsion is his single-handedly, Brenda’s death, most in Brenden’s calculations, he also used Brenda to take the blame. The truth was not concealed. The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
Not to mention Adriana, even he, a man, was surprised and found it difficult to accept.
After all, the relationship between Anne and Adriana for more than ten years, like brothers and sisters.
In the end, it was a reckoning for her.
Adriana wrinkled her eyebrows and hung her head, did not say anything for a long time, seemed to be immersed in grief and could not extricate herself.
“Honey, why … do things around me have to be so complicated? Who should I trust, and who can I trust?”
She was aggrieved in her heart.
The kind of betrayal that was repeated over and over again hit her brain and made her almost break down in general.
“Silly girl, it’s okay, there’s still me. Me, Harlee, Vivian, none of us will betray you. Besides, the worst things have been experienced, what else can you not experience? You should be happy because you are now able to bear it so well that no one can compare with you. In this way, the rest of your life will be easy because nothing will vilify you anymore and nothing more painful will happen than now. Isn’t that right?”
He doesn’t know how to comfort people, but these words are genuine.
“Yes, what should be experienced, what should not have been experienced has been experienced. What could be more heartbreaking than now?”
Adriana smiled helplessly, “honey, thank you.”
All things make her feel bitter, but only the man in front of her does not leave, making her feel relieved, happy, and delighted.
She knew that the reason Peter had brought someone against Brenden at night was because she had a seizure and angered Peter.
After all, the manipulator of Peter’s poison is Brenden, and after so much torture, Peter can’t stand it and will retaliate.
“I want to know why you didn’t make a move on Brenden before?”
Adriana asked the question that was on her mind.
“As I told you, I initially let Brenden go because my master put in a word that I owed my master a life, which I promised him. Later …”
He then stayed silently with Adriana on the unnamed island, and was rarely even in Waverly himself.
“Then it was after you came back, severe insomnia, Alani appeared, I found a very close personal relationship between Alani and Brenden, wanted to follow the trail, and did not lay hands on Brenden.”
“Alani? A close personal friend of Brenden’s?”
Adriana was even more perplexed, “Why would you let Alani make some kind of memory seal for me if you knew he was close to Brenden?”
Aren’t you afraid that an accident will happen?
“At that time your identity was already exposed as one of Obren’s people. And Alani is also Obren’s people, not to mention Brenden initially approached you, is a long time ago to determine your identity. If Brenden will let Alani harm you, I’m afraid it will not wait until now. Another point, at that time you want to memory seal, is to seal the memory of me. And you, once you left me, was the best outcome for Brenden.”
After he finished, it dawned on Adriana, “So, you didn’t stop it then. Was it true that you wanted me to forget about you, and at the same time, you didn’t want to spook Alani and Brenden?”
“Hmm.”
Peter nodded, “Yes. So now that Brenden is in trouble and Alani is still unharmed, I guess Alani won’t be alarmed now. Only he is in Obren, I am afraid that Obren will not be peaceful.”
At the end of the day, Adriana is Obren’s little young master, and what will happen in the future is anyone’s guess.
Peter also does not know whether Adriana will return to Obren to inherit the position of patriarch, but no matter what, he, will not leave.
“You are too impulsive. I think Alani is also a deep-minded person, I’m afraid it’s not easy to deal with. He has a different mind to Obren, but still can stay in Obren until now, you can imagine how deep he hides. I am afraid that the power cultivated in Obren is not shallow.”
Adriana thought for a moment and sighed again, “But it’s okay, those things don’t really concern me either. I don’t want to ask about it either.”
