Never Judge

Chapter 79 - 79

"Come Adri." Ayanna pulled Adrianna to her parents.

"So these are our parents. Emilio and Priscilla Reyes." Ayanna introduced.

​​

Priscilla pulled Adrianna into a hug and apologized to her. "We are so sorry Adrianna. Cedric had to lie to you because of us. Because of a family tradition."

"That's true Adrianna. The Reyes clan has an odd tradition of making it's heirs go through poverty training at the age of fifteen. We only got to see Cedric once a year, and we didn't even get to go to your wedding. We really really regret it." Emilio said, holding his daughter in law's hand.

"Adri, it's not my brother's fault. It's our whole family's fault. It's that stupid tradition. I missed my brother too." Ayanna told Adrianna.

Adrianna didn't say a thing so Ayanna brought her to the next group of people.

"So these are the Laurences. We all grew up together so we call all our friend's parents auntie and uncle, we're all like family already. So you know Ray Laurence, he's Cedric's best friend in the whole world, and these are his parents, Benedicto Laurence and Amy So-Laurence." Ayanna said as she introduced them to Adrianna.

"You are so beautiful Adrianna, no wonder our Cedric is so in love with you." Auntie Amy Laurence told Adrianna.

"Thank you." Adrianna managed to say.

Ayanna then took Adrianna to the next group.

"These are the Sebastians. I'm sure you know Uncle Jose Sebastian, he's the president, if you need anything he's the guy to call, and this is his wife, Aunt Rebecka Torres - Sebastian. She and Uncle Benedicto are cousins. Of course you have met Alexander, Katerina, and Natalia Sebastian." Adrianna said. The siblings all just smiled at Adrianna.

"Ayanna is right, if you need anything Adrianna, don't hesitate to call me. Don't be a stranger, I treat Cedric as if he were my own son. Sometimes I still think he is better than Alexi, he married such a strong woman." Uncle Jose said, praising Cedric and Adrianna.

"Thank you sir. It's an honor to meet you." Adrianna said politely.

"And these are the Abads. Of course you've met Ram and Veronica. These are their parents James Abad and Victoria Brenasconi-Abad, Uncle James is responsible for establishing Lights Entertainment and bringing it into the international scene. If anyone wants to get famous, they ask him." Ayanna said with a wink.

Before the Abads could say anything Nicole dragged Adrianna to meet her family.

"And this is my family! I bet you didn't know that the great and famous Eric Chan is actually my eldest brother! And of course you've met Miguel, everyone calls him the miracle doctor but he really doesn't do any miracles! He also does a lot of free operations that actually costs more since we have to shoulder all of the hospital fees! So that means I need to work harder! My brothers are annoying! Anyway this is my dad Raphael Chan and my mom Lucy Ang-Chan, they are both doctors, or at least were. My dad was a heart surgeon and my mom was a gynecologist, but when dad inherited Saints Hospitals they stopped practicing. Although sometimes when there are really difficult operations or problems mom and dad step in." Nicole said in full volume speaking quite fast.

"You need to excuse my sister, she doesn't know how to control her mouth sometimes." Eric said glaring at Nicole.

"Yes our daughter can be quite childish sometimes. Just as Jose said, if there is anything you need Adrianna, you can talk to us. Cedric is really a lucky guy to have married a woman like you." Raphael Chan said with a smile.

"Thank you Uncle. Nicole is really kind." Adrianna said.

"Adrianna, will you believe my brother now. He asked us all to be here because when he tried to tell you in the past you didn't take him seriously, he thought that with more proof you might actually believe him." Ayanna explained.

"I just don't know Ayanna. You keep saying he is your brother, but I've met your brother. He's nothing like Cedric. And Cedric can't be him. He just can't." Adrianna said, shaking her head.

"Adri, do you want to go back to the villa to talk?" Cedric asked his wife, hugging her from behind.

Adrianna took his hands off her.

"I don't want to talk to you, I don't want to see you. I want to be as far away from you as possible!" Adrianna shouted.

"Adri, please I'm sorry." Cedric begged.

"Either way you're a lying ass! You should've told me when we got married! I never wanted a man like the Reyes Heir. I always wanted to achieve everything on my own. I'm not going back to the villa with you!" Adrianna stomped away.

Cedric chased her again and pulled her towards him.

"Adri, I never interfered with your career. All those companies they chose to work with you because you are an amazing woman. People don't even need to know who I am. I don't like being in the public eye anyway." Cedric explained.

"Cedric I don't know if you're an amazing liar or an amazing conman! At this rate I think you are good at both." Adrianna shouted trying to shake Cedric's hand off.

"Adri, I didn't have a choice. I had to lie. I wasn't allowed to tell you who I was." Cedric told Adrianna.

"You always have a choice. You just chose your family's wealth over being honest with me. I would have still loved you if you told me the truth. I would still have stayed with you if you lost your inheritance. I've been married to you thinking you were poor, of course I would have stayed with you!" Adrianna was furious at Cedric for lying to her for eight years.

Cedric attempted to go after her but Ayanna stopped him.

"I'll take her to my villa and calm her down." Ayanna said, chasing after her sister in law.
