My Sweet Lawyer Wife

He told Theresa one by one.

“What? How … how did this happen?”

Theresa was amazed and looked back at her, “Adriana, is that really true?”

She was going to marry Peter, so she conceived the idea of marrying Brenden. “But Uncle still has Auntie.”

“The hospital says Auntie doesn’t have much time left.” Peter explained.

At that, Theresa immediately looked back at Adriana, “Does this matter have anything to do with you? I heard that Hayley was the one who caused the car accident, isn’t that your sister?”

Therefore, Theresa believes that Auntie’s car accident is directly related to her.

Adriana knows in her heart that not only Theresa thinks so, but I am afraid that many people will think so.

She felt doubly tired and didn’t know how to explain for a while.

“No, it doesn’t matter.”

Adriana denied it outright, but what a pale and feeble explanation.

“No?”

Theresa was deeply puzzled, and her critical eyes surveyed Adriana with a tight frown, “Adri, I really hope you’re not that kind of person.”

She put the thermos bucket in her hand on the table and went to sit down on the sofa, “Come here, I have something to ask you.”

Adriana looked gloomy and glared at Peter with dissatisfaction, cursing him silently in her heart.

Bastard, can’t you just not reveal yourself in front of Theresa?

Do you have to betray her to do that?

He also walked to Theresa’s side, sat down and sighed, “If there’s anything you want to ask, just ask.”

What else can be said after all this?

I had wanted to find a suitable opportunity to explain to Theresa, but now I won’t bother to find the right one.

“When did you and Uncle meet?”

In all the time I’ve known Adriana, I never knew she knew Brenden, and Theresa thought there must be something to it, but she just couldn’t figure out what.

Her question was exactly what Peter wanted to know.

So Adriana vaguely felt a burning gaze on her, and raised her eyes to meet the deep eyes of Peter.

The corners of his mouth pursed lightly, hesitating for a moment, he said, “We actually knew each other a long time ago, but we just didn’t tell you. I didn’t expect Brenden to be Mr. Alston’s Uncle either.”

“Peter said you were planning to marry Uncle, is that true?”

That’s the thing Theresa wants to know.

As we all know, Brenden and Peter are the biggest rivals of The Alston family, who are uncle and nephew, but the two are facing a competition for the heirship of Alston Group.

A success or a failure, it must be one of them.

Theresa doesn’t understand whyAdriana wants to marry Brenden. Or is she thinking about the future position of the seventh wife of The Alston family.

“I …” Adriana didn’t know how to answer.

If Theresa were alone, she might have known what to say, but Peter was there.

If you let slip your intentions, you will reveal them.

“Theresa, everyone has their own choices. I’ve also been single for so many years, and it’s my freedom to choose who I want to be with. I hope … you bless me.”

There is no future with Brenden, nor is there likely to be one.

But now that Helen’s safety is in Brenden’s hands, she doesn’t have any choice.

“Adri, what do you mean?”

A slightly irritated Theresa jerked to her feet, “Are you thinking I’m meddling?”

“I didn’t mean it that way.”

Adriana found that Theresa was not in the right mood and was afraid that continuing to talk would affect the relationship between them, so she made an excuse, “Theresa, there are still some things that need to be dealt with in the legal department, I’ll go to work first.”

She turned around and left the office straight away.

Theresa watched Adriana leave the office, her eyes wavering, as if she was thinking about something.

“Peter, I made soup for you, drink it while it’s hot.”

Opened the thermos bucket and poured a bowl of pigeon soup and handed it to Peter, “Three hours of slow cooking on a low flame, and I don’t know if you like it.”

Since Adriana left, Peter has been sitting at his desk with his head in the sand, seemingly forgetting about Theresa’s presence.

“Thanks.”

A faint thank you, “I’ll talk when I’m done with the task at hand.”

“Okay, work is important.”

Theresa is quite reasonable and behaves particularly virtuous in his presence.

Seeing that his brow was slightly frowned upon, he seemed a bit bored, so he went behind his back and gently massaged her with just the right amount of strength and good technique.

Peter enjoyed it immensely.

“Peter, I’ve been so bored at home alone lately, can you …”

“Because she was at the office, so you wanted to come too?”

Without waiting for Theresa to finish a sentence, Peter knew what Theresa was going to say and questioned her directly.

“No, it’s not. I just think it’s too boring to be alone at home, so I want to go to work and experience in the company.”

If told truthfully, Peter would surely be angry, how could Theresa be so honest and tell the truth.

“You’re not well, so just rest at home.”

Peter did not allow her to come to work, adding, “The most important thing now is to get well.”

Theresa had problems with her uterus and had been unable to have children, and her health bottom was not very good.

“Peter, I’m just too suffocated at home alone. If you don’t let me out, I’ll really suffocate.”

Theresa withdrew her massage hand and went to his side, pulling his arm to pamper him, “I always think uncontrollably at home, I will be depressed after a long time.”

Somehow, every time she felt Adriana was so motivated, it made her feel like she was living like a parasite, settling for the status quo.

There is a vague sense of unease and a sense of security.

Peter is generally understand Theresa’s meaning, today if he does not agree to Theresa’s request, I am afraid that she will not be quiet.

“So what kind of work do you want to do?”

Put down the signature pen in his hand, closed the file and looked up at Theresa, waiting for her answer.

“What kind of work?”

Since it says so, it naturally means that it agrees.

Theresa could not suppress her inner delight, warm smile, beautiful eyes, “Secretary, reception, marketing, management, all can ah.”

Previously she was studying business management and should be able to do many jobs.

“Theresa, you should be well aware of the Alston Group corporate system.”

Peter twirled the black pen in his fingertips and said in a serious tone, “If you really want to work in the company, then everything has to start from the grassroots. Can you take hardship?”

How can a young lady, who is used to being pampered, be able to bear hardship?

He didn’t quite believe it.

“Peter, I can do it, I will.”

Theresa was afraid that Peter would not agree, so she seized the last chance, “I am your fiancée, when playing the role of an example. You can start with the reception.”

As long as she can get into the Alston Group, she’s not asking for much right now.

Now Adriana is at the Alston Group, and although Adriana says she’s with Brenden, Theresa doesn’t really trust her at heart.

A woman’s sixth sense is strong, making her feel vaguely that there has been something fishy between Peter and Adriana.

“No need. If you think about it, just go straight to the planning department and report.”
