Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 144 - Going to a family dinner

Adriana's small face tightened and she shook her head, "I was the one who got lost in thought."

A perfunctory reason was given.

It's not like you can say to Peter that the reason for everything is because of the psychological shadow

left by him after those days of severe torture.

She, it's hard to say.

Not to mention not going over these issues in front of Peter.

"Going off on a tangent? How long have you just come to the company and you have so many

problems, I can't believe your working ability at all!"

He said.

"What do you ...... mean?" Adriana finally couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at him, afraid he

would kick her out.

"Literally."

The man replied coldly.

The attitude towards her was extremely cold, making it difficult for Adriana to recall the madness of the

previous days in the hotel. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mr. Alston, you just said you would give me the opportunity to make amends." She said.

"Okay, that's fine. Tomorrow night there is a dinner party, you accompany me to attend, as long as I can

make the other company satisfied, I will definitely not blame."

"Good."

Adriana agreed without even thinking about it, without even knowing exactly how the entertainment

would be.

"Is there anything else with Mr. Alston? I'll go out if there's nothing."

"Tonight, The Alston family family dinner, you really plan to go?" The man suddenly changed the

subject.

"Yes."

There was a moment of hesitation on Adriana's part as she answered the question.

In fact, she did not want to go, but she had to go because of Brenden's bullying.

"Heh."

The man snickered, "So eager to marry Brenden, I'm curious, what do you like about Brenden?"

"Mr. Alston, if you want to ask personal questions I can't answer them." Adriana was assertive,

unwilling to continue to dwell with him any further on personal issues.

"Is that so? Then you can pack your things and get out now. I, Alston Group, don't need a woman with

an impure heart like you."

He showed favoritism for the public service and threatened all kinds of oppression.

Adriana was furious, but had nowhere to vent her anger.

Glaring angrily at Peter, "Do you need a reason to like someone."

Peter seemed to nod quite agreeably, "That makes sense, go down."

Adriana was a little stunned, never expecting Peter to let her go straight away.

Back in the legal department, Adriana handled the work at hand. With Peter's warning, she was now

more serious and rigorous in her work, not daring to make a single mistake.

At the end of her shift, she packed up her things and left the office, and just as she walked out of the

building, she saw two cars parked in front of the door, standing two handsome and uncommonly

beautiful men.

One Peter, one Brenden!

Adriana, carrying her bag, looked at the two of them and inexplicably had an urge to run away.

"Peter, are you waiting for me."

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded behind her, and Adriana turned around to see that it was Theresa.

Two people's eyes collided, four eyes met, but both instantly moved away.

For a while, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

"Uncle, did you come over to pick up Adri?" Theresa walked up to the two men and gave Brenden a

small smile, not losing her manners.

"For the family dinner today, my dad asked me to bring Adri with me."

With that, Brenden straightened up and walked over to Adriana's side, holding out his hand, "Here, let

me help you carry it."

The bag was carried over from Adriana's hand with unending tenderness and pampering, and she

could not wait to hold her in her heart.

That kind of tenderness was something Theresa had not experienced in Peter.

Suddenly saw this scene, but some jealousy, envy, rather than taste.

"Adri, you're so happy, and Uncle is so good to you." She looked at Adriana and curled her lips into a

smile.

"Mr. Alston has been good to you, too."

Adriana returned perfunctorily.

The stars have moved on and things have changed.

But for a short time, she and Theresa have been strangers, and even if they meet, they can't return to

the friendship that they held as good girlfriends.

Naturally the speech also seems to be that perfunctory and awkward.

Peter's gaze narrowed slightly, watching the two people over there, with a little coldness flowing

between his eyebrows.

"Get in!"

He spoke in a slightly deeper tone and pulled the door open to get directly into the car.

Adriana and Brenden also got into the car one after another, and the two cars drove towards the old

house one after the other.

Inside the car, Adriana sat in the passenger seat, eyeing the vehicle in front of her, could not help but

smile to herself, "so good at acting, it's a pity not to go to be an actor."

"I got to the point where I thought that."

Brenden chimed in.

Adriana's eyebrows knitted and knitted, then stretched, not wanting to talk to Brenden, she leaned back

in the car seat and closed her eyes.

Not a word more.

After more than half an hour, the limousine arrived at The Alston family's old house.

The four of them got out of the car and walked in together.

Just after walking to the atrium, I saw Luis playing in the yard and riding his bike.

This side was giddy after finding a few people coming in, "Ya, daddy, you're back?"

Luis got off the children's bike and ran towards this side with his short legs.

Always gloomy face of Peter's face showed a rare gentle smile, the right hand lifted the suit pants, half

squatted down, opened his arms, "Luis......"

However, the next moment, Luis brushed past him with a gust of wind and ran to Adriana, "Auntie, Luis

misses you so much, do you miss me?"

At this moment, time stands still, everything is fixed, only the breeze is sluggish, permeated with a

chilling feeling.

Adriana stood there stiffly, even as Luis wrapped his arms around her thighs, her gaze did not go to

Luis, but to Peter, who was half-crouched on the ground in front of her, spreading his arms.

He, as if he were a statue, did not move at all.

But that back, but people feel inexplicably deep cold, bitter cold.

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Auntie, Luis misses you so much."

Luis grabbed Adriana's wide-legged pants, tugged them, and looked at her with his little head up, "Did

Auntie buy Luis a present?"

That innocent voice is extremely penetrating and beautiful.

Adriana, however, felt that she was on pins and needles at the moment, embarrassed to the point of no

return.

"Ohhhh, sorry Luis, auntie didn't know you were here and forgot to buy you a present. But auntie

promises to make it up to you, OK?"

She carried everyone's sharp, knife-like eyes, manslaughter in the back, but can only force a smile.

"Yay, yes, yes. Auntie is so nice, hehehehehe."

Luis kissed Adriana hard on the cheek, liking it more than anything.

Wrapping her neck around her, she begged, "Auntie, for a hug."

"Okay, come on, auntie hug."

She leaned over and picked up Luis.

But his gaze went through Luis, looking at a great back over there, and couldn't help but gulp,

inexplicably trepidatious.

Luis is Peter's real son, and now his real father wants to hug him, but he was actually put aside by Luis.

This ......

It stresses her out.

"Peter, you ...... are you okay?Luis is still young, like Adri maybe the two have a destiny."

Theresa's eyes narrowed slightly, and her unreconciled gaze surveyed Adriana with a look of jealousy,

anger, and envy running through her eyes.
