Chapter 1162 This Child’s Too Soft-Hearted
Suddenly, someone shouted behind Peter. However, it was not a woman’s voice.
Peter slowly turned around and saw Adrien walking toward him hurriedly.
“Why didn’t you tell me you’re leaving? I could send you off.”
Peter forced a smile, “There’s no need to send me off. After all, you’ll be coming over in a bit. It’s not like we won’t ever see each other again.”
Adrien shook his head in amusentent, “I’ll still have to send you off. Otherwise, I’ll miss you.”
Peter could not help but smile hearing a middle-aged man say he would miss him.
However, his smile was a little bitter.
Jolina’s ticket was already wrinkled from Peter’s grip. Peter looked in the direction the cabs stopped once more, and the final bit of expectation he had dissipated.
Adrien glanced at Peter’s expression and understood the situation.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, “Go home, and don’t worry. I’ll help you get what you want.”
Peter shook his head, “This is different. It’s not something I can have just because I want it.
‘I’ve always gotten whatever I wanted. I never thought winning a woman’s heart would be this difficult,’ he thought.
“Let’s go, second young master. It really is almost boarding time,” the bodyguard beside him said in a panic.
Peter looked and Adrien and suddenly teared up. He looked like a child that had been. wronged.
Then, he said in a low voice, “I’ll be leaving now. Take care, Uncle Adrien.”
“Go on.”
Adrien stared at Peter’s back, unblinking. Moments later, he shook his head in resignation.
