Chapter 231 I'll give you a chance
Adriana made a cup of tea for Mrs. Alston, brought it over and placed it in front of her, "Auntie, have
some water."
"What are you doing here?" Mrs. Alston looked away and quickly dried the tears from her eyes, as if
she didn't want Adriana to see her aggrieved side.
And then, pretending to be serious and cold.
Adriana sat across from her and said in a gentle tone: "Auntie, do you know? In fact, I have been
without a father and mother since I was a child, and I especially long for fatherly and motherly love.
When I was young, I was taken in by my foster mother, but ...... she was not very good-natured and
was very mean to me, but even so, I was looking forward to her treating me like other mothers do to
their own children and giving me a little more warmth. As a result, it didn't."
"That year, my brother had a terminal illness and needed a lot of money to cure it. My adoptive mother
had no money, but saw that I was young and beautiful, so she ruthlessly sent me to sit in a bar. The
stage. I did not go, she beat me, forcing me to go over. It is very coincidental that the bar I stayed for a
few days did not have the courage to do that kind of thing, as a result, one day a person, see my good
looks, asked me if I was interested in surrogacy, the pay is generous.
I needed the money badly, so I agreed.
Then there were twins, the day of delivery was difficult, after Luis was born, Helen never came out and
finally died in the womb.
The men Peter sent over took Luis and left while I was in a coma in the hospital for a day and a night,
and when I woke up the paramedics told me Helen had miraculously survived." Adriana sounded with a
hint of gratitude.
"Since then, I took Helen abroad and wanted to go as far as I could. While taking care of my children, I
started my own business to get to where I am today.
It's just that who would have known that Theresa's fiancé was the baby's father, and by coincidence, it
led to the current situation."
She spread her hands with a helpless face, "I never wanted to take away someone's good, even after
knowing Peter's feelings for me, I repeatedly evaded it. After that, it was Brenden who kept taking
advantage of Helen. I had no idea of Helen's relationship with Peter, so for the sake of my daughter, I
had to play along with him. When Peter went to catch Brenden, I took Helen with me and tried to leave,
changing cars, not even daring to take the bus because I needed an ID card and I didn't want to be
chased by Peter. But even so, he was still found.
The day I left, I felt my child's desperation and sadness, my own feelings for Peter, and his true feelings
for me. So, I am willing to try once. If ...... if in the end, you still can't accept me, I just ask you to let me
take Helen and leave. As long as you are willing to help me block Peter's pursuit, I am willing to never
appear again."
Mrs. Alston listened to Adriana's words and was somewhat moved, looking at her with a puzzled
expression, "Is it true what you say?"
Adriana smiled helplessly, "I love money, but now I'm perfectly capable of earning it, I have my own
company, I can support myself and Helen, no problem at all. Why do I have to marry into The Alston
family when my life has been so bad since I met Peter? But for his sake, I was willing to try and adapt.
Of course, if at the end of the day, it still doesn't fit in, then maybe it's true that we are destined for each
other. But Helen is my lifeblood, no one can snatch it from me. Except, I die!"
Adriana's words, all from the bottom of her heart, are a precautionary shot to Mrs. Alston, telling her
that if she ever had to leave, she would take Helen with her.
Mrs. Alston's brow wrinkled, tugged at her lips, seemed unsure of what to say, and closed her mouth
again.
"I envy you and Peter and Sloane, your family together, happy and happy, unlike me, an orphan, never
get these affection, that's why I envy. I also know that The Alston family is a large and powerful family,
my existence may not bring you any benefits, but I will do my best to create benefits for you The Alston
family." Adriana said seriously.
This, by and large, is the only thing Adriana can do.
From the time she chose to come back with Peter, she intended to come clean with Mrs. Alston and
say everything without being misunderstood by Mrs. Alston.
"Heh, with you? You are too high on yourself."
She found Adriana's remark a bit glib and arrogant.
"Can I, that remains to be seen if you give me that chance, Auntie. Isn't it?" Adriana slowly hung her
head, looked at the floor and sighed, "What I like is a simple, peaceful life. Once you enter a luxurious
family, it's not what I want at all. You should know that some people like money, but it doesn't mean that
everyone likes it. I, on the other hand, am the kind of person who is happy with what I have." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
As a member of The Alston family, Mrs. Alston has been in and out of high society and has seen a lot
of people, and she prides herself on being a good judge of people.
At this moment, from the moment Adriana sat here and opened her heart, she could feel the sincerity in
Adriana's eyes.
In the end, Adriana is Luis and Helen's mother.
She did not want Helen to be stranded, nor did she want Luis to be without his real mother, so, after
much hesitation, she said, "Don't you want to prove your strength? I'll give you a chance."
At her words, Adriana's eyes were tinged with a little hope.
A smile involuntarily surfaced at the corners of his lips, "You said."
"I know Peter has a very difficult project in his hands, as long as you can take that project within a
month, I am willing to accept you and will intercede for you with the old man."
"Project?"
Adriana smiled helplessly, "You're really giving me a hard time, but I'll try."
"But only if ......"
Mrs. Alston, with a stern face, immediately added, but before she could finish her sentence, she heard
Adriana say, "Peter must not be allowed to interfere, right? Don't worry, I can do it. Please ask your
aunt to supervise."
Mrs. Alston's straightforward nature seems to have infected her and finally got her to smile.
Just after she noticed that she couldn't help but laugh, Mrs. Alston immediately curbed her laughter and
looked extremely serious, "No big deal, adults talk, what do you junior interject? "
Giving her a blank look, she got up and walked away.
"Auntie is right, I will keep that in mind." Adriana said immediately.
"That's more like it."
Mrs. Alston waved her hand and walked towards the outside, but no one noticed that her face was a
little more pleasant.
"Phew ......"
Adriana felt that the relationship between the two seemed not as bad as expected, a long sigh of relief,
hands clasped together, frowning and thinking about it, and got upstairs.
Since Mrs. Alston gave her the opportunity to test her, she must not let her down.
Knock Knock-
Went upstairs, knocked on the door and walked in, Peter was working, "How did the talk go?"
Raising her eyes, she gazed at Adriana and asked.
Adriana drops her face, her eyes are heavy with tears, her eyes are red, and she walks up to him in
aggravation, sniffing her nose in a pitiful manner.
"What's going on? What did my mom say about you?"
