My mother would never cheat

Adrian becomes uneasy when he notices how coldly Alice speaks to him. He pinched his own hands, paused, and decided to tell her the truth about everything. He said, “Okay, I’m going to take you somewhere, Alice, because I want you to trust me.” “Where?” “You will know it when you get there. I have documented everything I have done over the years and to become close to the Collins.” Later on, Alice drove carefully through the snow. Then they arrived in front of an apartment building near Adrian’s School and took the elevator to an apartment on the fourth floor. Except for a bed and a desk, there wasn’t much furniture in that modest house. However, the wooden floor was piled high with various books, and the massive bookshelf was crammed with folders and labeled books. Adrian drew back the sheet that covered the bed, allowing the dust to float in the air. He explained, “This is where I used to live while I was working as a private detective. But I have not been here for quite some time.”
