She looked up at him in shock. \"What... is this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David smiled. \"Just a small gift.\" His tone softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After saying those harsh words yesterday, I reflected on how much I must have hurt you. This is my compensation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The café seemed to fall silent around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twenty percent. That was almost everything David owned. And he was giving it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a long moment, Adriana couldn’t speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pushed the document back toward him, her voice trembling with restrained anger. \"I already know how little I’m worth in your eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stood abruptly. \"You don’t need to humiliate me again. If you want me to leave Peter, I will.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Panic flashed across David’s face. He shook his head rapidly. \"No, no, that’s not it. I’m telling the truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tapped the paper anxiously. \"The contract is legal. Everything is valid. I’m not lying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lowered, earnest and hurried. \"My intentions are genuine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana couldn’t help but think of what David had said before... that he would marry Peter off to a supermodel. If that was the case, then why was he changing his stance now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, David himself almost wanted to slap his past self.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why did I oppose this girl so fiercely?’ The more he looked at her, the clearer it became. She was kind, sincere, almost angelic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana was still doubting his words, yet what made David truly anxious was something else entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she refused to accept the contract, then the agreed sum would never reach him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he smiled at her, his tone gentler than before. \"Perhaps my words came out harsh,\" he admitted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But everything I did was to test your love for my son.\" His eyes softened. \"And now I know how deep it is. I won’t interfere anymore.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the supermodel...\" Adriana begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David interuppted briefly before adding, \"As for that supermodel... she’s nothing compared to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana felt her heart tremble. \"But my background...\" she began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David raised his hand lightly. \"I know your background,\" he interrupted calmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You might think it isn’t good, but to me, it’s something I could never even dream of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind flashed back to Aurora’s cold warning, her voice clear and merciless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Make sure you don’t cross Adriana. Otherwise, forget about the Richardson Corporation, and forget about surviving in New York.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He inhaled slowly and looked at Adriana with sincerity. \"I truly apologize for every word I said before,\" he said firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I also apologize for intervening in your relationship.\" His expression turned solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I take everything back. I will never interfere again, and I’ll make sure no one ever tries to separate you and Peter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s heart began to race. She could hear the blood rushing in her ears as she realized that he truly meant every word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warm wave of joy surged through her chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Did Peter convince him?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyes grew moist before she hurriedly looked down, trying to hide the tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Peter sat quietly at a side table, his fingers clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching her shoulders tremble made his chest ache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to rush over, to wipe her tears away himself, but someone moved faster than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David noticed immediately. Panic flickered across his face. ’If Miss Dawn sees this... I’m finished.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, he pulled out a tissue and handed it to Adriana, his voice almost coaxing. \"Don’t cry. Please don’t cry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He leaned forward earnestly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, I’ll support you. I’ll protect you.\" His voice softened further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll pamper you like my own daughter. And if Peter ever dares to mistreat you, I’ll be the first to punish him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Adriana heard, the harder it became to hold back. Tears slipped down despite her efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t know what Peter had said to David, but whatever it was, it had completely changed him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that alone filled her with immense relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, she felt it clearly. ’Maybe this time... we can really be together.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the side, Peter narrowed his eyes slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t believe his father could suddenly become generous enough to give away twenty percent of the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either the contract had a loophole, or someone else had bought the shares and placed them under Adriana’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t need to think long. ’Miss Dawn.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A low chuckle escaped him. For that twenty percent, he and his eldest brother had fought endlessly in the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that it belonged to Adriana, he felt no resentment at all. Even if she never married him, he wouldn’t think of taking back those shares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as Adriana was happy and self-sufficient, that was enough. Her happiness alone made him feel complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the café, Adriana lingered outside for a long while, the evening breeze cool against her flushed skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she pulled out her phone with trembling fingers and sent Peter a message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t want to break up anymore.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Almost instantly, a reply came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you really want to make up,\" Peter wrote, \"come to my private villa at six p.m.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana bit her lip, guilt twisting in her chest as she imagined how much she must have hurt him. Without hesitation, she decided to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And when the clock struck six in the evening, Adriana stood at the gates of Peter’s villa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she arrived, the gates opened smoothly, the guards recognizing her without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana stepped inside the villa grounds, her heart pounding softly in her chest as the familiar path stretched out before her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the villa, a gentle warmth wrapped around her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the kitchen came the quiet sound of cooking, oil sizzling, a knife tapping rhythmically against a cutting board.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana turned the corner and saw Peter standing there, sleeves rolled up, focused and composed, as if nothing in the world could distract him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She walked over slowly and placed the cake she had baked earlier onto the countertop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter glanced at the cake briefly, his expression unreadable, then turned back to what he was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart tightened. \"Are you... really that angry?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silence answered her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana took a hesitant step forward and then another, until she stood right behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wrapped her arms around his waist, her forehead resting lightly against his back. His warmth seeped into her, familiar and comforting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m sorry,\" she whispered. \"I acted impulsively. I shouldn’t have broken up with you like that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her fingers tightened slightly. \"I didn’t think about you at all. I just... decided on my own.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter remained quiet, letting her words fall into the space between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only after a long pause did he speak. \"Do you even know what your mistake was?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana froze. She loosened her hold slightly, her thoughts racing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a moment, she spoke hesitantly. \"I shouldn’t have chosen my family so decisively,\" she said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I shouldn’t have ignored your feelings.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter shook his head slowly. \"That’s not it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned off the stove and finally faced her, his gaze calm but deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can understand why you did that.\" His voice softened. \"To you, I’m just...\" He paused briefly. \"The third boyfriend in your life.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But your family,\" he continued, \"has always been there for you. They’re not something you can just abandon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued in a gentle, steady voice, one that carried neither accusation nor anger, only quiet disappointment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your mistake wasn’t choosing your family,\" he said softly. \"It was believing you had to shoulder everything alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter stepped closer, the faint scent of oil and spices still clinging to his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should’ve talked to me,\" he went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you had, we would’ve found common ground. We could’ve protected your family and still stayed together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes darkened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But you let fear take over. You didn’t even give me a chance before making that decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s shoulders trembled. Regret flooded her chest, heavy and suffocating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was wrong,\" she said hurriedly, her voice breaking. \"I really was wrong. I’ll fix it. I promise.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Peter sighed, a long, restrained breath. \"I expected more from you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart sank. Shame crept up her spine. \"What... what kind of more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked toward her, untying the apron as he moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he stopped in front of her, he lifted his hands and cupped her face, his palms warm against her cool skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I expected you to come back to me,\" he said quietly. \"To tell me everything. To argue. To cling to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His lips curved faintly. \"I even expected you to seduce me and ask me to abandon my entire family for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s breath caught.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would’ve done it,\" Peter continued without hesitation. \"Without a second thought.\" His gaze softened. \"To me, you’re precious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shook his head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This isn’t just attraction. From the moment I saw you, I fell in love... hopelessly, recklessly. Little by little, I fell in love with who you are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice lowered. \"Sometimes I even think I might be obsessed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adriana’s eyes widened, her heart pounding violently.\u003C\u002Fp>",1518,"2026-06-06T04:03:49.636Z",1,"novelbin.me","cc5da16ebe23372c92c3d088430eae586fba5ab2ed181f1482fd8f4efd4a9f03","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-507","born-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-chapter-505",614,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fborn-into-villain-s-family-i-have-a-200-rebate-s-cover.jpg"]
