Bella looked at Adriana and let out a sigh."I really envy you. No mother-in-law drama," she said.Adriana gave an awkward smile. Not only did she have conflicts with her mother-in-law, hers were the kind that could cost someone their life."As long as Patrick stands up for you, life's still manageable.""He does protect me, but he indulges his mother far too much. If I weren't worried about my parents stressing out, I would've moved back to my family's house already instead of staying here and putting up with this nonsense."Adriana took her hand and spoke gently."This is your home. If anyone should leave, it's someone else. Since you love Patrick, hold on to him tightly."As for his mother, talk to her when you feel like it. Avoid her when you don't. Let Patrick deal with the trouble in between. If he wants to play the devoted son and grandson, let him do it himself. You just focus on taking care of yourself. You can't get angry while you're pregnant."Every family had its o

Francesco gently released the person in his arms and got out of bed in frustration.He couldn't keep living at the Stanley residence. Sooner or later, something was bound to happen.A lonely man and woman under the same roof, both young and full of passion—and on top of that, he felt an inexplicable desire toward Adriana.Adriana, meanwhile, was jolted awake by hurried footsteps.Bianca burst into the room from outside."Adriana! Adriana, get up! We have to return to Mitaly immediately!"Adriana sat upright at once. "What happened?""Uncle Estev was shot. He's in critical condition. We have to go back right away.""But…"But Francesco still hadn't met with the psychology specialist.Adriana's heart instantly sank to the bottom."Cesco is already waiting in the car," Bianca explained. "He said you can stay in Heatherton City if you don't want to go, but I hope you'll come with me."Standing beside the bed, Bianca looked at Adriana with pleading eyes, pitiful and helpless."

With that, Francesco turned and left the living room.Suzie stomped her foot in fury and cursed under her breath through gritted teeth."What's so special about that bitch Adriana? Why does everyone revolve around her? Mitaly is my territory. I refuse to let her steal all the attention!"…The campsite Luther chose was a grassy field beside a crystal-clear river.As he set up the barbecue grill, he smiled and said, "Adriana, I wonder if I'll be lucky enough to try authentic barbecue from your hometown?""Leave it to me."Adriana checked the ingredients Luther had prepared. There was everything from meat to vegetables, even authentic barbecue seasoning.Watching her skillfully grill the food, Luther teased Francesco."You usually have no interest in activities like this. Did you only come here to freeload food and drinks?""I just don't feel comfortable leaving Bianca alone with you."Bianca asked honestly, "What's there to worry about? Luther's way better than you."At leas

"Get on," Francesco said.Adriana climbed onto his back, resting her chin lightly on his shoulder."Thank you, Francesco."His tone remained cold and detached. "Don't read too much into it. I would've done the same for anyone.""I know," Adriana said softly. "That's why I'm thanking you—for being a good person."Because Francesco was, at his core, a good man—even if he had been hypnotized into hating her, he still couldn't bring himself to truly do anything excessive to her."Don't celebrate too soon," Francesco said in a low, muffled voice. "That snake was highly venomous. You're not out of danger yet."He carried her back to the car and called Luther.Before long, Luther arrived with Bianca.The moment Bianca heard that Adriana had been bitten by a snake, tears immediately welled up in her eyes."Adriana… are you going to die?""Don't worry," Francesco replied lightly. "Troublemakers tend to live long lives."Francesco's words were sharp, but his movements were anything b

Hearing Luther's voice, Adriana looked up."I'm much better. What are you doing here?"Luther explained with a smile, "I was having dinner at the Este residence tonight. When I saw Cesco there, I figured you might be bored alone, so I came to keep you company.""It's fine. I'm watching a movie. You should head back and rest."Luther walked over to the bedside and glanced at her tablet screen from the side."I've got nothing to do at home anyway. What are you watching? Mind if I join you?""A Mitalian movie. I'm using it to study Mitalian.""Oh, I love this movie. I'll watch it with you."His gaze was open and sincere. The words Adriana had been about to refuse quietly died in her throat.She placed the tablet on the table. Luther pulled a chair over for her, and they sat side by side, watching and discussing the plot as the film played.They were so absorbed that neither of them noticed when Francesco arrived.Standing at the door, he watched the two of them sitting together
