Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 205

Adriana made a joke.

"I'm just huge money to take with me." The man was extremely cooperative.

And then, he suddenly stood up and did not open the safe again.

Adriana's heart went up and down with Peter's actions, like a roller coaster ride, not to mention how exciting it was.

"Better forget it, you look too flashy, I'm afraid to cause public outrage."

"Is that so? That's a compliment on how good-looking I am?"

Adriana couldn't help but laugh, "Narcissistic."

The two joked in a good mood, but each had something in mind.

Peter then sat back down at his desk and went back to his work.

Adriana, on the other hand, looked at the safe with unexpected depth, sensing vaguely that Peter must know something.

But even so, she still had to get the important document that Brenden had explained.

Knock Knock-

A knock on the study door.

"Enter."

Peter responded.

The door opened from outside to inside and a person walked in, holding a delicate European-style porcelain plate with some snacks and coffee on it.

"Peter, knowing you have work to attend to, sent you a little heart."

Theresa wore a sexy purple lace nightgown, as thin as a cicada, her long hair draped over her shoulders and hanging down, raising her hands and feet in a seductive and enchanting way.

But when she twisted her waist and walked in front of Peter, she caught a glimpse of Adriana sitting on the sofa over there.

The smile on his face froze up then.

"Why are you here?"

Theresa's face was grim and displeased.

"You guys talk, I'm going to bed."

She got up with extreme good sense and took the book towards the outside.

"Stand still."

The person just walked a few steps, only to hear Peter lightly chortle, she turned back, "What's wrong?"

Peter raised his eyes, his cold, cold eyes sweeping over Theresa, "I should be asking you that. You, why are you here?"

Torture from the soul.

Theresa's face was embarrassed, blue for a while, white for a while, embarrassed to the extreme.

"Peter, I ...... I ...... just saw you working hard, so I sent you something to refresh your mind."

She looked aggrieved.

Adriana sighed, not wanting to be the trigger between the two of them, and took a step and walked right out.

That back, let Peter feel a 'she is the superfluous outsider' meaning.

It's as if there was no thought of fitting in at all.

Closing the door, Adriana went back to her room to sleep.

In the study, Theresa stood helplessly by, tears streaming down her face, aggrieved to the core, "Peter, why is this happening? The old you, gentle, kind, considerate. But why did you only treat me with indifference after Adriana appeared?"

Speaking, people slowly approach him, hands pulling his arm, sad, "between you and me, is all the love, is gone?"

Peter slanted into the temples of the eyebrows a few imperceptible frown, the corner of the eye glanced at her hand on his arm, the eyes of some resistance.

"Theresa, those are in the past tense. Girl, learn to love yourself. To the media, I have said that it is a family marriage contract between us, the outside world naturally understands that there are no feelings between you and me, so it will not affect your search for a future other half. I believe that with your excellence, you will certainly shine and find the man who really belongs to you and is suitable."

In any case, there are so many years of love with Theresa, she has a kindness to himself.

Peter certainly does not do the ultimate in decisiveness.

On the contrary, his heart treats him as a sister, more like a family member.

"My excellence? Glowing and glowing? Heh, are you treating me like a three-year-old child? If I'm so good, why can't you share a little love with me? Even if it's a handout."

She poked her heart with her long, slender fingers, "You know what? From the moment you appeared in front of me, I decided that you are my future, my partner for life. I will not marry anyone but you!"

"But I only treat you like a sister!"

"Sister? When Adriana didn't show up, why didn't you say you treated me like a sister?"

She growled abruptly, her emotions somewhat out of control.

Peter looked grave and sighed, "I'm sorry, it's my fault. I always thought that my world did not need to have feelings to exist, to you, even if only gratitude can support us to go farther into the future. But Adriana's appearance made it clear to me that I can't do that because I don't love you and can't give you a happy future, even if I marry ...... you are still unfortunate."

"Heh."

Theresa suddenly smiled.

I raised my head, looked at the ceiling, let the tears in my eyes, and then nodded, "Didn't you say that you treat me like a sister? Then, before I get married, you as a brother, you must spoil me well."

After saying that, she turned around and left the study.

The moment she closed the door, the tears in Theresa's eyes stopped abruptly, and all that remained was ruthlessness and coldness.

"Brother? Pretty good."

The words fell, people, quietly left.

Inside the study, Peter walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in an irritable mood, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, took a drag, and exhaled a faint cigarette from his lips.

By the time he was done with all that and returned to his room, Adriana was asleep in bed.

Because the air conditioning was on, the temperature was low and the little woman slept curled up like a kitten.

Peter walked over, pulled back the blanket and gently laid it on top of her.

Then glanced at the sofa over there, and eventually shuffled off and slept on the sofa obediently.

Until Adriana truly accepts him, he does not yet dare to do anything too excessive.

It is easy to change the two of them to get along, Peter cherished this opportunity and wanted to work hard to make himself better and let this woman's cold heart gradually melt.

Then, really accept him.

The following day.

Adriana woke up early, washed up with her two children and went downstairs.

Found Peter already sitting in the living room.

"Good morning, Daddy."

"Daddy, why are you up so early wow."

The two children scattered and ran over, hugging and pampering Peter.

Peter put down his books and put his arms around his two children, "Good morning."

A sideways glance at Adriana, "It's still early, why don't you get more sleep?"

"Not sleepy. They both have to go to school today, so I'll drop them off."

One, the two children are not in the same school, and two, Adriana does not want to sit at the same table with Mrs. Alston, Sloane and Theresa to avoid unnecessary trouble.

"I've already explained to the school that Helen can go straight to Luis' school today and go to and from school with him."

Peter had everything ready to go.

"No need!"

Adriana's face changed slightly and she instantly refused.

But the words fell, but found that the three people over there looked different, seemingly very incomprehensible to her.

She swallowed sheepishly and explained, "Helen is just getting familiar with her classmates at school, and if you take her to another school now, it will take her some time to fit in again. Besides, the two children are still young, and it's easy to have conflicts after spending time together. It's better to go to school separately, so they'll be happier together at night and won't have conflicts."
