Chapter 79

Author: Chronos
Bella posted on her Instagram about building a snowman with her boyfriend; Adriana didn't go to interrupt.

Turning the steering wheel, she arrived at a high-end residential complex in the city center. Chris had gifted her a spacious apartment here—the floor was just right, and through the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, the snow-dusted cypress trees gleamed white.

Soon, Oliver arrived, shoulders dusted with cold.

"Oliver, hope I'm not interrupting your experiments?" Adriana greeted.

    Bianca gripped the paintbrush and glanced at the suffering Grandpa Scott."Cesco, go outside. No peeking."Francesco silently left the room and leaned against the wall, lighting a cigarette. His shoulders sagged, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.After finishing two cigarettes, he had just pulled out a third when a voice called from inside."Francesco, come in."Grandpa Scott held the torn pieces of the drawing paper in his hand and threw them into the trash."I'm going to take a nap. I'm exhausted."Bianca hugged her drawing supplies and walked back to her room.After hearing the door close, Francesco's Adam's apple moved slightly.When he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse."What do they look like?""See for yourself."Grandpa Scott opened his phone gallery.On the screen was a secretly photographed image of the drawing.Bianca was good at drawing, and her skills were impressive. The two babies she had drawn looked adorable.Grandpa Scott sighed in disap

    Francesco glanced at the distracted Adriana and spoke up."Grandpa, let's go back and let them rest.""Alright. We're staying nearby. Adriana, come visit whenever you have time."A trace of disappointment flashed in Grandpa Scott's eyes as he stood and walked outside.Bianca waved at Adriana and Bella."Remember to come find me and play sometime."Adriana walked them to the door and watched as they disappeared into the distance.Something fell from the sky. A chill touched her face. It was snowing again.Inside the departing car, Francesco sat in the back seat, staring aimlessly out the window.Facing the current Adriana, he was completely helpless."Cesco, the houses here are so beautiful."Bianca looked out the window and sighed.This was a villa district, and rows of detached houses passed by outside.Francesco leaned lazily against the leather seat."Mm."Their residence here was less than two kilometers from the Moss family's villa, so they arrived quickly.He got

    They went to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities.In reality, the Moss family had everything they needed at home. They had only suggested going to the mall as an excuse to get away from Francesco.After they finished shopping and returned to the car, Francesco fastened his seat belt and asked, "Where do you live?"Bella gave him the address.As the car left the shopping mall, they unexpectedly saw Grandpa Scott's car waiting outside.Adriana nearly wanted to cry. She no longer needed this much attention or concern.Half an hour later, the Moss family's villa came into view.Bella spoke up."Francesco, my house is right ahead. We'll get out here."Francesco acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued driving until he reached the front gate.Through the rearview mirror, they could see Grandpa Scott's car stopping behind them as well.Mr. Moss came out from inside and walked toward Grandpa Scott first."Mr. Stanley, thank you for taking care of my daughter and

    Chris's pale face appeared on the screen. His eyes were filled with concern."Adriana, Beryl City has been hit the hardest by the snow disaster. Are you okay?""I'm fine. Don't worry. But you don't look well either. Are you sick?""No."He paused before asking, "Are you with Bella's family?"Adriana nodded."Yes. I saw on the news that the highway has been closed. It might be a few days before I can return.""Don't rush back. You have the twins with you, and safety comes first. Wait until the roads are clear before you come back."Chris repeatedly reminded her, and Adriana agreed each time."Let me see Maeve.""Maeve is asleep. Mrs. Moss seems to need me for something. I'll video call you tonight so you can see her. Take care of yourself."Adriana gave a few perfunctory replies before ending the call.If Chris found out she was staying at the Stanley family's house, she would have to spend a long time explaining.Right now, she only wanted to get down the mountain as soon

    "Get some rest. I didn't come to you because I wanted anything from you. I just... I just... Good night, Adriana."Francesco lifted his hand, wanting to touch her head, but fearing she would become angry, he lowered it dejectedly.He only wanted to stay with her for a little while. Even if she mocked him coldly, he would accept it willingly.Adriana stared at the gently closed door.Slowly, her body slid downward until she sat on the floor beside the bed, hugging her knees to her chest.Her harsh words were a blade with sharp edges on both sides. They wounded Francesco, but they also left her covered in blood.She was good at handling complicated experimental data. Yet when it came to complicated emotions, she was completely helpless.From childhood until now, the only healthy love she had ever witnessed was between her parents.But when they left her, she was only eight years old. At that age, she didn't even understand what love was.Later, during the six months she spent be

    "Mine." Francesco appeared at the corner of the hallway, his tall figure standing straight and composed."Bianca, take Bella back to her room to rest."His expression was cold, and his tone carried an authority that left no room for refusal.Bianca immediately grabbed Bella and hurried toward the other side of the hallway.After two doors closed one after another, the corridor fell silent.Only the two of them remained, facing each other with their gazes locked.Adriana took two steps back, retreating into her room.A strong hand pressed against the door, and its owner followed her inside.Adriana's voice turned cold."Get out."Francesco closed the door behind him and gave a faint, humorless smile."This is my house. Who exactly are you asking to leave?"He sounded calm, but his heart was pounding as if it might break free from his chest. After being apart for so long, this was the first time he had been this close to her.No one else was around. There was only the two of

    Heidi hadn't just made soup—she'd also made some chicken tacos for Adriana.Chris, at some point, had taken a seat across from Adriana. He poured some red sauce in a little saucer for her."Edward suddenly had a sharp stomachache, so I rushed him to the hospital."Adriana nodded. "It wasn't serio

    Adriana hesitated, then stole a quick glance at Francesco. His expression remained cold and detached, revealing no trace of emotion."Could we use cooperation as leverage… to make them leave Chris alone?" she asked softly.Francesco tilted his head, not even bothering to hide the faintest smirk of

    Adriana relied purely on survival instinct as she made her way down the mountain. Along the way, two more cars passed, neither slowing down.After more than half an hour, a car suddenly came speeding up from below. In the glow of its headlights, she saw who was inside and nearly screamed in relief.

    Francesco's hand froze as he raised the wine glass to his lips, long fingers brushing idly along the rim. He extended the glass toward Adriana in a mock salute before tipping it back and draining it in one smooth motion."Today, we truly meet, Mrs. Slater."The words were deliberately emphasized—e
