Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 149

"Theresa, get some rest, I have things to take care of at work."

Once again, he brushed Theresa's hand away and left the villa without looking back.

No matter how the woman behind him shouted, how hysterical, he did not turn back, only the existence of Adriana in his mind, and now only want to go to Adriana.

From the city to the outskirts of the city, he drove as fast as he could, originally a thirty-minute journey, he arrived in just twenty minutes.

At the foot of the hill, just as he was about to take out his cell phone to call Adriana, he noticed a familiar figure appear on the highway.

At that moment, his hanging heart finally fell.

Start the sedan, get to her side, stop the car and run straight over.

"Adriana, he shouted."

Adriana immediately stopped in her tracks and stared blankly at the man who appeared in front of her, inexplicably pungent, with her nose slightly flaring and tears in her eyes.

The sudden surge of emotion should not have been there, but she could not restrain it.

"Where have you been?"

Peter questioned, stepped forward and swept her into his arms, "Do you know that you scared me just now? Why did you hide? I'm the one who's at fault, not you!"

"Peter, you let go of me."

Adriana closed her eyes and tried to keep her emotions steady, feigning an indifferent attitude, "Let go!"

Although the tone of voice has been calm, unperturbed, but Peter from her choked voice from also can determine her emotions.

"This time, don't run away."

He held her tightly and didn't let go, nor did he want to.

Just hold her like this and let the time be just a little bit longer and a little bit longer.

"Peter, are you sick? Isn't it fun to make everyone know about it now? You are Theresa's un......"

"Yes, I'm Theresa's fiancé, but there's nothing between us. I like you, can you stay with me?"

If it was set aside in the past, he would not have confessed to a woman.

But not much has been experienced with Adriana, but he has a crazy urge to confess his love to a woman.

He didn't know what the reason was, but he just wanted to say it to her and wanted her to know.

"Like? Oh, Mr. Alston, your liking is superficial."

Adriana snorted a laugh, holding back the tears from escaping her eyes.

"Is it exciting because I'm Theresa's BFF? Or is it true, as Theresa said, that the family flower is not as good as the wild flower? Are you just looking for excitement?"

Adriana is a woman, has experienced a lot of things, although not really in love, but also not everything does not know.

Every time she sees Peter, that kind of inner fluttering, deer in the headlights, it's like returning to the youthful ignorance of her college days, making her feel good and sour.

How did she not know that it was love?

It's too clear.

But that man is Peter, Theresa's fiancé, her best friend's man.

So, absolutely not about to that one line of defense, that is her last bottom line.

"Between me and you, it's impossible."

She pushed him away, "What's more, what are you getting excited about? You're not the only man I've slept with. I'm not even sure who the father of the baby is, and you're that happy to be a father?"

She raised her eyebrows and laughed heartlessly, but with a touch of sarcasm.

Peter suddenly stunned, listening to her words surprisingly do not know what to say good.

"You ...... you ...... are Brenden's?" His thick eyebrows sword brows knitted up, his face mixed with stormy anger, cloudy.

"Yes or no, it has nothing to do with you. Follow the time to project, it simply can't be yours. So, you don't think nonsense, watch your son is the best."

Adriana still identifies the position and does not want to continue to entangle with him.

Every time she drags her feet, it makes her tired.

She is human, a woman, more fragile inside than anyone else, except that there is a seemingly icy face that makes everyone think she is strong.

"Oh, by the way, you said you liked me?"

Adriana raised her eyebrows, "So ...... would you be okay with me being with Brenden while still being with you?"

Peter's face sank again and remained silent.

Adriana then said: "I forgot to tell you. I never believed in any love, much less men. I, on the other hand, only like money. Now you and Brenden who is the head of The Alston family is not yet certain, how can I easily make a choice? I'm sure I'll follow whoever has the money."

"Brenden did it to you, and you're willing to do it?"

He was on the verge of collapse, his fists clenched in anger, his forehead veins bulging.

"You may not know, I was beaten up as a child, that little injury is nothing to me. When the time comes, with the money, it's real."

A broad smile emerged on her good-looking cheeks, and although it was a little stiff, it must be said that she was able to conceal her emotions extremely well.

Peter would have believed her if he hadn't noticed the slight curl of her hands hanging at her side.

"How much money do you want? How much to pay you before you'll leave Brenden?" he asked.

Hearing Peter's question, Adriana's heart surged with a touch of inexplicable emotion, it was like a dagger stabbed deep into the heart, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

The inexplicable pain made her uncomfortable.

"One billion!"

She looked sideways, not wanting her facial emotions to be caved in by Peter.

So, hands around the chest, pretending to be light-hearted posture, "one billion, my breakup fee with Brenden, but not necessarily with you."

"So, how much do you want before you want to be with me?" He asked again.

Every answer she gave was unacceptable, but in favor of Peter catching it all.

Adriana felt incredulous and a little helpless at the same time.

The only thought was to escape and leave Waverly forever.

Only, that possibility is slim.

A Brenden can not fight, how to fight with Peter.

"Alston Group!"

She was silent for a few seconds and answered.

The words are not amazing.

But in Peter's ears but not much reaction, he looked natural, "Be my woman, Alston Group is naturally yours."

This answer ...... Nothing wrong with that.

"Heh heh heh."

Adriana red lips slightly raised, revealing a row of white teeth, the wind clear, brushing her forehead hair, with a touch of messy beauty.

"As expected of the president, are so good at pie to fill the hunger. But I'm not a child anymore, don't take the set of coaxing children that coax me. It's useless!"

With that, he walked right around him and left.

"Adriana!"

The moment he brushed against him, Peter's hand naturally took her wrist, "Why don't you trust me?"

No one has ever suspected him, either now or before.

He had never cared so much about any woman either, much less thought he would one day like one.
