Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 176

Throughout the whole process, Peter did not say a word and spared no words.

Perhaps, even he himself was surprised that Adriana's move would actually turn him away ...... up to two hours!

"Daddy, are you bullying Auntie? Why won't she let you in?" Luis asked glamorously with an ignorant look.

"Because Daddy is smoking at the door, you are children and smoking is not good for you."

Peter sought a random reason.

Meanwhile, Helen was extremely curious and asked Adriana the same question.

Adriana, however, did not answer.

Just take that one hair that was ripped off Luis' head and bang it into a plastic bag all the time to save it.

The next day, after dropping Helen off at school, Adriana went to the hospital first and took things to the identification department.

Only after that did they leave with confidence.

Only, not long after she left, someone called Theresa here, "Adriana just took Luis' hair to the hospital for identification, I think, is suspicious of the identity."

Theresa turned pale with fear and immediately said, "No, she must not know."

"Understood."

Hang up the phone.

Theresa dropped into a chair in a daze, and did not come back to her senses for a long time.

It is unimaginable that if Adriana really knew about Luis' real relationship with her, then she and Peter would never have the possibility and chance to be together again.

Alston Group, Legal Dept.

After the busy lunch, it was already time to leave work.

The phone suddenly came a text message, open it, it is Brenden's text message.

[Dine together at noon.]

"What's for dinner at this time of day?"

Adriana frowned in thought, guessing that he was probably looking for her about the matter he discussed with him yesterday at the hospital.

[Good.]

Edited a word and replied to it.

After finishing the task at hand, Adriana got up and walked out of the legal department with her bag.

Who knew that the moment he raised his eyes, he saw two people standing together in the corridor.

Brenden and Hayley?

Adriana jerked back a step and stood in the office doorway, just in time to see the two men moving over there through the reflective glass door.

Intermittent chatter, can only hear Hayley quite happy, but simply can not hear what the two of them are talking about.

However, Hayley can be seen on the reflection on the glass door wrapping her arms around Brenden's neck, giving him a kiss on the cheek, and then running away happily.

Adriana's brow furrowed, wondering when Hayley hooked up with Brenden.

It is clear that the night before yesterday she was still having a good time with other men, how today ......

"Nope."

Adriana's eyes narrowed slightly, suddenly thought of guessing what.

Could it be that the man who appeared in the apartment that day, hanging out with Hayley, was Brenden?

She immediately sent a message to Vivian: [Immediately help me to check the surveillance of my apartment complex to see if there is Brenden's access.

Long, slender fingers leap across the screen and send out a quick edit.

"You're out?"

The message had not been sent for a second when Brenden's voice rang out beside her, scaring Adriana into blushing.

The hand holding the phone couldn't stop trembling and almost didn't fling the phone out.

"You're here?"

Adriana's cheeks could not hide the nervous look.

"What did you do to lose your heart? So flustered?"

Brenden raised his eyebrows, his slightly narrowed eyes surveying her thoughtfully.

"Huh? No, I was messaging with a friend and you came over out of the blue and startled me."

With a forced smile and a raised hand to quickly delete the message sent out, he said, "Let's go, let's eat. Have you thought about where to dine today?"

"What do you want to eat?"

Brenden, who was wearing a black shirt, raised his hand and wrapped his arm around her waist in an extremely natural way, in an ambiguous and intimate position.

Adriana was very uncomfortable with the sudden tenderness and was about to push him away when he wrapped his arms tightly around her, making it impossible for her to struggle.

"Pe......"

Adriana's words were suddenly cut off.

"Peter, what brings you here?"

Looking up at Brenden's gaze, I saw Peter coming out of the elevator, carrying a paper bag in his hand.

The logo of 'Antarts Hotel' is clearly printed on it.

Antarts Hotel is a unique hotel in Waverly, especially for its nutritious meals.

So, he ......

Is it to deliver food?

As she was thinking this, she heard Brenden already asking, "What, coming over to serve food?"

At the sound of his voice, Peter's body stalled and stood stiffly in place.

The eyes incredulously glanced over the two and finally landed on Adriana's body.

Adriana looked at Peter, who was wearing a white shirt and had a long posture, with one hand in his trouser pocket and a paper bag in the other, both sleeves pulled up at the elbow, exuding an invisible charm of maturity.

But at this moment, his slightly wrinkled eyebrows between the flow of its temperament does not match the despondency and faint sadness.

Peter's hand holding the handbag was slightly tightened, and a light smile suddenly appeared on his taut face, "I came back from buying lunch for Theresa, just passing by, and came to let Adriana know that Alvin's grandfather had a big birthday and invited her to go."

Stepping forward, he pulled out an invitation from his pocket, "Here is the invitation."

"Thanks."

Adriana said thank you and took the invitation.

After saying that, the man turned around and walked away.

It was so crisp and clean that Adriana couldn't help but laugh at herself for being so self-serving.

But it's good, since he is willing to buy Theresa lunch, it means that their relationship is gradually recovering.

It is a good sign.

Peter entered the elevator, pressed the button for the top floor, and the moment the elevator closed, his face instantly went cold and chilly.

Ding--

The elevator went straight to the top floor, the doors opened, Peter stepped out and threw the handbag into the trash without looking at it.

Western Restaurant.

Adriana and Brenden ordered their meals.

She asked directly, "Say, what do you want from me today?"

"You said yesterday that you wanted to make our relationship public, and I thought about it, a few days later is Alvin's grandfather's birthday is the best time for us to make it public."

"So, it's about discussing this matter?"

Adriana was talking when her phone vibrated on the ground and she glanced at it, it was a text message from Vivian.

It clearly shows a line: [Investigation monitoring shows that Brenden came on the first night and left the next day].

She glanced at the message, deleted it the first time, and replied with three words, [Got it.

Putting down the phone, she looked at Brenden, a formulaic smile surfacing at the corners of her lips, "So urgent? Then only if you transfer the agreed money to me first."

The relationship with Brenden is just a game.

She hates Brenden, but still manages to play along with him.

Adriana does not know when the skills developed, but now in the face of the enemy can talk and laugh, it is also a way to survive.

"Thirty million? Good."

Brenden held his goblet, swirling the wine in it, his angular lips curved up in a curve, "Since you agreed, you have no room for regret."
