Couldn’t bear to see him struggling all the time.
“Got it.”
In the end, Edward agreed to Peter, “Big brother, I’ll trouble you about this. You should know my nature, please do it as soon as possible.”
Every minute of every day is a kind of torture for Vivian, and undoubtedly for Edward as well.
The two were so immersed in the ‘disappearance’ and death of their child that they could not come out of the shadows for a long time.
“Don’t worry.”
Peter took care of everything in order to let Edward have no worries.
Nowadays, there are many things he needs to do.
Need to be there for Adriana, need to take Adriana and the kids out for a walk now and then, and more importantly, need to look into Obren’s affairs.
As for Ruth, her identity is very special, not just as simple as Obren’s young master.
As for what the power behind her is, Peter does not know, but he has to dig deeper to the end.
…
At night, an exhausted Adriana lay in bed and had a long time to sleep.
“Can’t sleep?”
Peter asked.
“Hmm.”
“Some things go with the territory. Vivian will be sad when the child dies, but she’s just as sad when the child ‘can’t be found’. Instead of doing both, it’s better to tell her the truth.”
Peter knew what Adriana was worried about.
“That’s what they say. But Vivian has already lost two children, how can she stand it? I they said that today Vivian went out to look for the children, the whole person is like crazy. It’s really so unfair to hold on to so much hope for the child and turn out to be so cruel.”
Leaning on Peter’s chest, Adriana closed her eyes, her mind was all mixed up, “honey, I really feel so tired.”
Yes it is very tiring.
Since childhood, Adriana has experienced many things, yet none of them felt like they would cause her as much pain as they do now.
“The bitterness is over. The most painful and worst things have happened, what could be worse than now? Don’t think nonsense, everything will be fine.”
He reassured her.
“Hmm.”
Adriana nodded, “By the way, I want … to see Raylan tomorrow.”
That day Raylan helped Peter, heard that seems to be injured, but because of various things delayed, has not been able to visit him.
For Raylan, that’s what Adriana owes a lifetime of favors, and there’s no way to repay it with her life.
“I’m with you.”
Peter thought about it and said directly.
“You …?”
Adriana wrinkled her eyebrows and shook her head again, “You’d better forget it, you’re so busy at home, go take care of things at home.”
She worries that Peter will fight again after he meets Raylan.
Adriana’s thoughts were seen through by Peter, who immediately said, “Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
A definitive attitude.
Adriana hesitated a bit and finally nodded her head in agreement, “Then you must restrain yourself then, don’t fight with Raylan in the hospital then.”
That was the last thing she wanted to see.
“Hmm.”
Peter pursed his lips and rubbed her head, “It’s very late, rest early. Your own and your health is not good, take care of yourself too, understand?”
Because of Vivian’s matter, Adriana’s heart is burdened and stressed every day, and Peter is anxious to see it in his heart.
“I’ll be fine. It’s you who has so many things to deal with. old Mr. Alston died, and now Uncle Five’s family is thinking about The Alston family’s property, and I’m afraid they won’t rest so easily.”
The matter of Ashtyn, her condition, The Alston family, and the search for Ruth all weigh on Peter’s shoulders.
If it weren’t for the fact that Peter’s condition was getting better, Adriana would not have let him do so much alone.
“I told you, it’s enough for me to handle these things alone. You, all you have to do now is to rest early and be good.”
He put his big palm over Adriana’s belly, “There are two more little things tormenting you here.”
“Okay, I’ll sleep then. You go and get busy, no need to stay with me.”
“Waiting for you to fall asleep.”
“You … are fine.”
Adriana wanted to refuse, but was worried that Peter was more stubborn, so she didn’t say anything and hugged him to sleep.
It took a while for the little girl to fall asleep.
Peter then got up, covered her with bedding, turned off the light and went out.
I don’t know, Adriana can fall asleep so quickly there?
She had insomnia before, and although she is now recovering well, it is difficult to sleep once she has something on her mind.
The reason why she pretended to sleep was that she didn’t want Peter to stay with her and delay the time to deal with her business.
He is still in charge of taking care of several companies, and he is very busy and stressed every day.
Adriana would like to help him, but her body is so exhausted.
…
“Ooooooooooo … Ashtyn, where are you?”
Late into the night, like a ghostly cry of the wind blowing in the face, as if a knife cut.
The streets are cold and clear, stores close early, but the billboards are flashing with colorful lights, adding a few eye-catching splendor to the cold winter night.
Vivian was holding an advertising leaflet in her arms and occasionally met people passing by on a battery-operated bicycle, she would rush up to them regardless, “Hello, I lost my child, have you seen this child?”
“Nervous ah, get out of the way, do not want to die ah!”
The battery owner nearly hit Vivian and couldn’t help but curse angrily.
Edward stepped forward and tugged Vivian’s arm, “It’s eleven o’clock, when the hell are you going to get back?”
Edward was heartbroken and inexplicably annoyed when he saw Vivian’s near-obsession with posting a missing person notice.
More is the result of their own incompetence and rushed to anger, feel incompetent, useless, a waste.
Once boasting of his innocence, he thought he could do anything, and now reality has completely woken him up.
“No, I don’t want to go back. I want to find Ashtyn, our son.”
Vivian broke away from his hand, “Edward, can you just let me look for my son? I haven’t seen Ashtyn for days, he must be missing his mother, he’ll cry if he doesn’t see me.”
Because you can come out to find the child, Vivian’s mood is much better, the whole person put the spirit on the matter of finding the child, and do not care to think, just want to collect more clues.
“It’s very late, why don’t you go back and rest, I’m not sleepy. Really, I’m really not sleepy at all.”
Vivian shook her head, at this moment, glanced at a young man on a bicycle, she immediately rushed over and stuffed the search notice into the basket of the bicycle, “My child is missing, if you have seen this child, must remember to contact me, thank you, thank you.”
The bicycle is a young boy, wrapped in a thick down jacket, a suspicious look at Vivian, both feet accelerated, riding the bike faster and faster, seems to think that encountered a psychopath, some fear of fire to escape.
A gust of wind blew the bicycle basket’s search notice to the ground, and the single piece of paper advertising the search notice even tumbled on the ground, then rolled down in front of Vivian’s heels.
