Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 25

"Cold... so cold..."

Adriana curled up, but her whole body was so stiff and numb that she moved slowly.

At the sight of her like this, Peter couldn’t help but put his arms around her and wrapped her tightly in a blanket. "You can't die now!"

No matter what, Adriana was the mother of his son, Luis. If she died, it would be a cruel thing for Luis.

Adriana’s mind had gone completely blank, and she leaned into Peter in a subconscious attempt and mumbled, "Cold... I feel horrible..."

Leaning back against the headboard, Peter looked at the woman in his arms. His eyebrows twisted until he saw blood gradually coming back on her face.

As her body got warmer, Adriana felt that the flame in her body was burning more and more fiercely, which had her completely lost her sanity.

She looked at Peter with her hazy eyes and slightly rubbed her head against his chest. "I feel so hot ... kiss me... Kiss me..."

While speaking, she raised her lips to his.

Her hands ran on his body. When her fingertips teased his chest, a tremor ran through his body.

"Adriana, do you know what you are doing?” His face looked dark, and his body tightened.

"Um... it's too hot..."

……

Two hours later.

Adriana opened her eyes and glanced around the room, not recognizing where she was.

It took a while for her to recall that she came here to attend Alvin’s birthday party on a cruise ship.

She turned over on her side, feeling all sore and painful, which made her suck in a deep breath.

However, when she saw a man sleeping beside her, she instantly stiffened and did not dare to move.

"Peter?"

She opened her mouth and moaned silently.

Looking at his face, she was going crazy.

What the hell did she do? She slept with her best friend's fiancé!

Adriana slapped herself on the head and cursed herself.

Seeing him breathing evenly in sleep, Adriana carefully lifted the blanket and tried to slide out.

"Are you trying to run away?"

A tug on her wrist pulled her back into his arms. His face was devoid of feeling.　

Adriana stared at Peter as if she’s seen a demon. "Why... why are you in my bed?"

She tried her best to recall what happened, only remembered that she was pulled out of the water by Peter, and then she went for him...

After that, she couldn't remember anything.

“Are you feeling disappointed that I’m not Alvin?" He clutched her wrist with his hand. "Adriana, to get a man that you want, you would take whatever means.”

After what happened, Peter changed a bit of his judgment of her. But that didn’t mean he trusted her.

And he wouldn’t allow a woman who he had sex with to hook up with Alvin.

Besides, she was Luis's mother!

"I didn't do anything. Don't you say that to me!" Adriana grew grim. "If you keep saying that I will sue you for slander."

"You just had sex with me. That proved everything." Peter raised his eyebrows. “The way you acted on the bed could beat any woman from a nightclub. You must have done it with a lot of guys. That makes me sick."

"Peter, you bastard!"

Adriana was driven crazy by his humiliation.

She slapped him on the cheek. "You made me feel disgusting.”

"Stop it!"

Peter grasped her other wrist of her and stared at her coldly. "Adriana, I warn you, stay away from Theresa and Alvin in the future, otherwise, don't blame me if I did anything."

Throwing her hand away, Peter got up from bed.

Tears of humiliation welled up in her eyes. “You knew what’s wrong with me, but you pulled me out of the tub. Peter, you are scum who took advantage of me."

She covered herself up, and her chest moved as she inhaled and exhaled, feeling extremely sad and angry.

"I just didn’t want you to die in there." He answered without thinking.

“I'd rather die than let you touch me.” She argued.

He stopped and stared at her. They looked at each other angrily.

Then his face put on a cold smile. "I not only touched you but also slept with you. Now let me see if you’d kill yourself."

"You... you..."

Adriana, who had always been eloquent, was speechless at the moment.

"So, you were just kidding?" Peter sneered. "You are such a drama queen." He felt stupid that he had been deceived by this woman.

What she did with all the cutting and ice water was just an attempt to draw his attention.

Yes, she succeeded.

There were two knocks on the door.

"Adriana, are you in there? Open the door. "

The knocking broke the silence between them.

Hearing the familiar voice, her face instantly paled out. She trembled and shot her eyes at Peter.

Peter stood up but was pulled to stop by Adriana. She begged, "Don't open the door!" She shook her head. "I don’t want Theresa to know about this. I’m begging you. "

From the beginning, it was a mistake, and she didn't expect this to happen at all.

She felt sorry for Theresa, and she was not capable of facing her.

"Why would I help you? You betrayed your best friend. Don’t you think she would find out?" Peter got rid of her grasp and walked out.

Seeing him walking for the door, Adriana grabbed a wet towel, wrapped it over herself, ran on barefoot, and clutched his hand. She begged in a low voice, "please don’t."

Peter peered at the woman in front of him coldly. Even her anxious begging would not change his mind.

"Theresa needs to know who you are as soon as better." Without giving in, he threw her hand off.

Adriana rushed to face him, kneeling on her knees, and lowering her head. "Peter, I beg you."

At that moment, she gave up all her dignity, because she didn’t want to ruin the relationship between Theresa and Peter.

"I’m sorry. I didn't expect this to happen." Adriana snuffled, looked up at him with her red eyes, and said sincerely, "Give me some time. I will leave Waverly as soon as possible. I won’t show up in front of you or front of Theresa again, okay? "

She had owed Theresa a lot in the past. Theresa loved Peter so much that she would not allow herself to ruin anything between them.

Peter frowned at her words. A hazy feeling surged up from the bottom of his heart.

There was something he didn’t tell Adriana. He didn't have sex with her, instead, he just solved her needs with his hands, to ease the pain caused by the philter.
