Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 22

Adriana was soaked through. She wiped the water away from her face with the bath towel, shaking her head, and said, "I’m okay. I know you didn't mean it. It was just too crowded. Achoo”

It was so cold at night on the sea that Adriana kept sneezing. She tightened the bath towel. "Let's go back and get changed."

Then the two of them got off the deck. Theresa led Adriana to a suite on the fifth floor. "Go take a hot bath. I will get some clothes for you."

Theresa left the suite after settling Adriana.

Ten minutes later, a waiter came to Alvin. "Mr. Grant, Ms. Hale just fell into the water, and she sent me to tell you to bring her some clothes. Here is her room card. "

Alvin was drinking with people when he heard Adriana fall into the water. He was worried but wondered, "Isn't she here with her husband?"

"Well...I don't know, sir." The waiter shook his head and left.

Alvin didn't understand why she would ask him for help because he saw that she come with Kenny, her husband.

He felt confused.

"Alvin, what is the matter?"

A lady beside him nudged Alvin and asked.

“Excuse me, but I’ve got something to take care of now." Alvin put his glass down on the table, turned, and walked upstairs.

People who were left behind looked at each other and wondered, "Who is Ms. Hale?”

"I don’t know. Is she Alvin’s girlfriend?"

"Her name is Adriana Hale. I met her a few days ago. She’s quite beautiful, but she’s married."

"My goodness, Alvin fell for a married woman. Unbelievable. "

……

After getting a set of new clothes from the customer service, Alvin went up to the fifth floor.

When he got to the elevator, he saw Peter leaning against the wall beside the elevator, with his arms crossed over his chest, as if he were waiting for someone.

"Peter, why are you here?" Alvin asked.

"Waiting for you."

Peter straightened up, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked up to Alvin. He glanced down at the clothes in Alvin’s hands. A touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"What happened? Is there anything wrong?" Alvin was concerned when seeing the serious look on Peter's face.

"There was a brawl in the game hall on the lower ground, so you better go and take care of it now. After all, this is your place." Peter told him what happened.

"A brawl?" Alvin frowned slightly. "You could have just handled it for me."

Peter looked a bit more severer. "Those people are either rich or privileged. Any bad handling would cause adverse effects on your family business. Or is it more important to bring clothes to a vain woman than to deal with family issues? "

Peter was there when the brawl happened. He called Alvin immediately but couldn’t get through, so he had to go upstairs to find him. Then he was told that Adriana asked Alvin to bring clothes to her room.

He wondered what tricks that woman was going to play.

"Peter, Adriana is not the kind of person you think!" Alvin expostulated with him.

He had known Adriana for years and he knew her very well.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, give me the room card!" Peter took the clothes over directly and spread out his hand for the card.

Alvin felt that it wouldn’t hurt to let Peter bring her the clothes. Besides, a brawl on a cruise ship was no small matter. As the host, he had to deal with it.

"Well, take good care of Adriana for me."

Alvin said to Peter, watching him get on the elevator before leaving.

“Ding.”

The elevator arrived on the fifth floor.

Peter walked out of the elevator with the clothes in his hands and looked at the room number on the card, which showed it was Room 507.

His blue eyes gazed thoughtfully at the door of the room. Peter hesitated for a moment.

He finally opened the door, walked in, and closed the door behind him.

Nobody was in the living room.

Peter stood there and looked around, and then went to the bedroom. In the clean and tidy bedroom, there were only a few scattered clothes on the bed, but no one was there.

Then he heard the sounds of a shower from the bathroom.

Just when Peter was wondering, the bathroom door opened.

Adriana wrapped herself in a bath towel, with long wet hair hanging down, and little drops of water slipped down along her neck and collarbone. Under the dim light, she looked so sexy and gorgeous.

"Peter? Why are you here?"

Adriana stood there in shock. She never expected Peter to show up in her room.

“Why? Are you disappointed because Alvin didn't come?"

His cold eyes peeked at Adriana. She's a beautiful body, and her skin was so smooth and white. There’s a touch of blush on her cheeks.

He had to admit that this woman was beautiful.

But not beautiful inside!

He glanced away, walked in a refined manner to the bed, and sat down. "I think there is something that I need to remind you again."

Adriana stood there and felt very hot even after a cool shower. Her breathing became slightly unstable.

She fanned her face with a hand and tried to cool herself down, but it was useless.

"Peter, please get out!" She went to the bed, leaned over and picked up the remote control of the air conditioner, and turned down the temperature.

The man in front of her didn’t react to her words at all, which irritated her. "This is my room. Who allowed you to come in? Get out! Didn't you hear me?"

Peter slowly stood up, his eyes shooting down at Adriana’s eyes, "You forgot what I said so quickly. Do you think I wouldn’t know? I had warned you to stay away from Alvin, and you just couldn’t help it, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

She couldn't understand what Peter meant.

She did as he said since he told her to stay away from Alvin in the bar.

Where was this hostility coming from?

"Don’t pretend that you don’t understand."

He squinted his eyes and stepped closer to Adriana. Adriana had to step back when he came forward.

But he kept coming, and she kept moving back.

He didn’t stop until she was backed against the wall. He raised his hand against the wall and leaned slightly toward her. "You are the most ungrateful woman I have ever met. If it weren't for Theresa, I would have kicked you out of Waverly."

He was too close that Adriana had to stand tightly against the wall, trying to keep some distance from him.

She stared at Peter with her big eyes. "I... I have promised you that I would stay away from Alvin, and I definitely would keep my words. But today is his birthday, and if I didn't come, he would have wondered why."

To discourage Alvin’s interest in her, she had Kenny pretend to be her husband, and came here together, but she didn’t expect Kenny would run away like a coward.
