Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 168

Until Adriana came along and made him change his mind.

Only then did I realize that once love appears, all vows and beliefs are instantly shattered.

"Adri again?"

The tears in Theresa's eyes finally couldn't stop spilling out of her eyes, sliding down her cheeks and dripping to the ground.

She sniffled, pursed her lips, and covered her cheek in pain.

"Peter, she's my best friend, best friend. You can like anyone, why do you have to like her? How do you let me live with myself, have you ever considered my feelings?"

There are times when it really breaks down.

Peter likes anyone, she can accept it, but that person is Adriana.

At first, the necklace was Adriana's, and she went to great lengths to get it from Adriana and succeeded in taking Peter.

So on the day she got engaged to Peter, she begged Adriana to come back to her country just so she could witness her happy moment.

But I didn't think that was the beginning of a nightmare.

If I had known that, why did I let Adriana come back.

Theresa regretted it.

"I'm sorry."

Peter was not good at apologizing, but now, he was full of guilt towards Theresa. "Don't worry, after the annulment, I will find you a better man and give you a good amount of compensation, so that you can be clothed and fed."

It was the only thing that could be done for her.

"No, I don't want any of that, I just want you, just you."

Theresa got up, went to Peter's side and took his hand tightly, "Peter, it's you I love, it's always been you."

Peter stiffened and did not move.

But she could not restrain her excitement. Emotions, hands around Peter's face, came over and kissed him, "Peter, I love you, I want you, give me, give me, OK? Oooh ...... I beg you."

The closer Theresa got, the more annoyed and even a little disgusted Peter became.

For some reason, perhaps because of his relationship with Adriana, he now feels a surge of anger whenever he senses the slightest hint of need from Theresa.

Peter tried his best to restrain his emotions and restrained her hands, saying in a deep voice, "Theresa, stop it, it's in the office."

Theresa looked at the man in front of her in a daze and smiled bitterly, but tears welled up in her eyes, "This is the company?"

She had a sarcastic smile on her lips, "But you never touched me at home either, did you?"

He has not touched her since the engagement, since we met.

Not even a real kiss.

"Theresa ......"

Peter frowned, not knowing how to answer Theresa's words, he even his own apologies to Theresa, but could not make her whole.

"I can make it up to you."

He said.

"Compensation, how do you want to compensate?"

Theresa withdrew her hand and gazed blankly at the man in front of her, with a bitter look in her eyes.

It was quite a bit of a bummer.

"How much do you want, name your price, I can give it all to you."

"But what I need is your love for me, and I don't want money!"

She growled hysterically and acted in a manic manner.

Peter propped his elbows on his knees, crossed his fingers, and bowed his head in thought.

For a long time, he shook his head, "Whatever you want, I can give you. The only thing, feelings, is not controllable."

If you can control it, it is not a feeling.

He also tried and tried his best, but he still couldn't do it, so what could be done?

"Ho-hum ......"

Theresa went limp, leaned back on the couch, looked up at the ceiling, and smiled.

The voice got louder and louder, and finally laughed out loud in a near-madness.

"That's what you men are, devoid of any sense of responsibility. I thought for a while that you were the man I could cling to for life, but why did you do this to me? Why?"

Her delicate and good-looking cheeks kept smiling, and the tears on her cheeks did not stop, as if they were broken beads.

The poignant look is heartbreaking to watch.

Peter can't look at Theresa at this moment, even if he himself did him harm, but it's not too late.

If you really have sex with her and really get married to her, then maybe it's really a disservice to her.

"Theresa, you go back and calm down."

He got up, sighed, paced, and looked back at her again, "Go back, I'll have Hank drop you off."

With that, he walked over to his desk and dialed Hank's number, "Come over here."

A few minutes of silence, the large office, the two silent, silent as if they can hear each other's breathing.

Not long after, the office door knocked and Hank walked in, "Boss, what's the order?"

"Send Theresa back and tell the planning department that she won't be coming over to work later."

Without asking Theresa's permission, he decided directly for Theresa.

Because this is simply not the right place for Theresa to work.

Theresa sniffled, took a tissue to wipe the tears from her cheeks, and took a deep breath to keep her mind at peace.

After some adjustments, she straightened her grooming and said blandly, "No, I'd better go to work. I don't want to delay my work because of my personal matters."

Theresa is not stupid, how can she not know what Peter has in mind?

Once you leave from the company and want to come in, it's hard.

Now Peter's heart goes out to Adriana, but as long as Adriana doesn't say yes, there's still hope for herself.

At least, until she agrees to call off her engagement with Peter, the two are still an unmarried couple.

It's not too late for everything.

"Can you do it?"

Peter has some concerns.

Theresa's lips lifted slightly, pursed her lips and smiled, "Peter, just now ...... I was a little emotional, I'm sorry, it's me who lost my temper. I'll go to work now."

When he finished, he walked around Hank and out of the office.

After the people left, Hank stepped forward and asked, "Boss, what's going on with young lady ......?"

At his words, Peter snapped his eyes up to gaze at him, "Who gave you permission to address her as young lady?"

Hank: "......"

It seems to have always been called that way, it was fine before, why is it not happy now?

"In the future, just call him by his first name. Go down." He had a cool attitude that made Hank simply unreadable.

"Yes."

Hank responded and turned to leave.

While things are brewing here, Adriana's side is not idle either.

After a long day in the office, every day was a day that felt like a year to Adriana. She was afraid to withdraw from the Alston Group without Brenden's order.

In the evening, just after work, Jenkins gave her a call.

"Come over for dinner tonight, right?"

On the phone, Jenkins invited her.

"Can I help you?" The sudden invitation to dinner took Adriana a little by surprise.

"My mom is having a birthday today and my dad is out of Waverly, so it's just us, okay?"

Jenkins knew that Adriana and Thelma had a personality disagreement and didn't want to call Adriana over, but he had no choice but to do so because Thelma kept asking him to call.

"Really? Then say happy birthday for me, I'll have the gift sent over later, I still have work here, so I won't go over."

Adriana didn't want to go to Thelma's birthday.
