Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 108

Adriana froze, her heart racing, with the embarrassment of being caught in a lie.

The tip of my tongue licked my lips, hesitated for a few seconds before saying: "Something happened to my company, I came back to deal with things. It just so happens that Mr. Alston also had to go on a business trip, so I had to say so to the minister under a different guise, otherwise, he would not have given me leave. As you know, there were conflicts with the minister before, how he ...... would easily grant me leave."

"Oh, so. Okay. Then remember to call me when you come back, I'll come and pick you up oh."

"That was great."

She forced a smile.

Hanging up the phone, Adriana stood in place holding the phone, closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, nervous as hell.

"Lying without changing your face or needing a draft, Adriana, how come I didn't realize you were such a good liar? Or are you just a liar in the first place, huh?"

The man suddenly closed in and stood in front of her, appearing so suddenly.

When she opened her eyes and found Peter standing in front of her, Adriana was so shocked that the phone in her hand almost fell to the floor.

She frowned and said with displeasure, "Peter, what are you doing, you're out of nowhere, do you know that people are scared to death?"

Open your eyes is that cold face, still so annoying.

"That's you being a thief."

The man's hands are inserted in the pockets of his suit pants, a pair of good-looking Danfeng eyes slightly narrowed, the bottom of his eyes released a ghostly light, "You ......"

"What do you mean by being a thief? I just don't want to be misunderstood by Theresa. As I said, Theresa is my best bestie, and I don't support you being together, and that's because you don't deserve it. But I also don't want Theresa to think much about it!"

She was very direct with this statement.

Perhaps it would be accurate to say that she has been very direct in front of Peter.

"Not worthy?"

Peter took a breath, handsome face slightly side, look elsewhere, under the eyes flashed some cold smile, "Then who do you think I match with? You?"

"You're sick!"

Adriana pushed Peter away, not accepting his titillation.

Dropping a sentence, he gave him a hard stare and walked straight away.

However, the person just walked no more than a few steps, then Peter held the wrist and dragged back, "What are you running?"

With a large palm, she was pulled into an embrace, "I haven't asked you why you've been avoiding me lately, give me a proper reason."

For the last month or so, this woman has been avoiding him for various reasons from afar, like avoiding the plague.

But for some reason, every time I see Adriana, I can find her face panic, a pair of beautiful shear water eyes with a look of fear and a trace of weakness.

"Who's hiding from you? Make a fool of yourself."

Adriana struggled, but no matter how hard she struggled, the man did not let go, as if she would not let go until she had an answer today.

"You're doubting me?"

Doubt his intelligence and observational skills?

"I suspect you're a psychopath."

Adriana does not want to be so close to Peter every time, so, deliberately keeps her distance from him, just hoping to keep her innocence, otherwise Theresa misunderstood.

She threw her wrist hard, intending to break away from Peter's hand, but the man's hand is too powerful, like steel and iron bones, deadly confinement, can not shake a cent.

Adriana couldn't struggle away, so she was a little frustrated and looked at him with exasperation, "Peter, you know my relationship with Theresa, but why don't you know to avoid suspicion? Why do you keep appearing in front of me again and again? What are you suspecting about me? I have told you many times, I have no relationship with you, and will never move any thoughts and intrigue on you, so withdraw your unrealistic ideas.

Between Brenden and me, it's our business, not yours. But, this just proves that I have no ill will towards you, even if I am thinking of The Alston family's money, or of someone else's, it has nothing to do with you. Don't you think you're being too lenient?"

Adriana raised her hand and her long, white fingers poked him hard in the chest, "What you should remember is that your fiancée is Theresa, and the person you should protect is Theresa, and because she is your wife, you should keep your distance from all women!"

The two had known each other for a long time, and Adriana had never said anything so blunt.

In fact, all adults, it is impossible not to understand the meaning of her words.

Peter stood still, that a deep as the vast ocean like deep gaze is impenetrable, but also let people do not know what it is thinking.

The two of them looked at each other, and after a while, his thin lips opened slightly and said in a shallow voice: "But I have already had the closest relationship with you, how am I going to keep my distance?"

A phrase that is extremely tender and gentle and unreal.

Adriana's mind went blank for a moment, thinking that the party must have been hallucinating.

The fair and delicate cheeks were tinged with a layer of scarlet, and her eyes flashed, "It was just an accident, and I can forget it, forever. You, on the other hand, can you choose to be good with Theresa, or, don't delay her."

All along, Adriana felt that Peter was not good enough for Theresa.

After all, Theresa is a simple girl. Although it is said that there is no more womb, it does not deny her everything.

On this one matter, Adriana will probably be stuck in endless guilt and self-blame for the rest of her life.

No shame in facing Theresa.

"Forget? How do you think, you hang around in front of me all day, how can I forget?" Peter's eyebrows knitted together, "The woman I slept with is going to marry me Uncle later, how do you think, I can forget?"

"Then I can promise you that I won't marry Brenden, ever!"

Adriana said without thinking, and at the end, added, "If you give me a little more time and allow me to completely disconnect from Brenden, I will disappear in front of all of you."

If it was a question of what was the worst thing she did in her life, it would be to return to Waverly this year.

"Peter, you are a playboy, but Theresa is a simple girl, she loves and cares about you very much. People, how many youthful years can you have in your life, let alone Theresa is a girl. If you love her, then take good care of her, if not, please break completely! Otherwise, you are playing a rascal!"

After saying that, Adriana saw that his gaze was empty and thoughtful, and the force of holding his wrist was a little less, so she took the opportunity to shake off his hand, distanced herself from him, and took a few steps back, "What I promised you, I will definitely do. I also hope that Mr. Alston, do not rely on their own superiority and delay others for the rest of their lives."

That person is her best friend, Theresa.

Adriana dropped the words and turned to leave.

"Would you believe me if, for example, I said that I had never loved Theresa?"

The man's voice was calm and clear, but it fell on Adriana's ears like a bang on the head.
