Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 155 Sorry, this is life

Brenden, Peter, Theresa, each with their own ideas, each with their own opinions, and she's the real victim, but none of them seem to be looking out for her. "Peter, I need to say it again."

She looked sideways and looked serious, "There is no possibility between me and you, there never will be. Whether you marry Theresa or call off the engagement, that's between you and her, it has nothing to do with me. You like me, that's your business, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't want to know. Besides, there are so many people who like me, so why should I say yes to you."

A speech that left Peter speechless.

Yet her persistence is deeply felt.

"What if the person I met in the beginning was you?" The man asked again.

At this question, Adriana was silent.

What if the person who met her in the beginning was her?

Yes, they did know each other first, but unfortunately, you've got the wrong person.

The person who originally saved him was Adriana, but he found Theresa.

This is life, should be resigned to fate.

"No ifs."

Adriana adjusted her sitting posture, leaned back on the car seat and looked ahead, "Mr. Alston, as the president of Alston Group, would not be so naive as to think that there are pills of regret for sale in the world, right?"

"Adriana, you're a cruel woman."

Peter was slightly angry and slammed his fist on the steering wheel.

In the past, only women were attracted to him, but no woman has ever been so resistant to him, avoiding three, such as the plague.

But Adriana is that woman, and he kept a certain distance, from her eyes to see only hate, distant and indifferent.

"It's not too late to know."

Adriana pointed to her watch, "Time to go."

Peter had no choice but to start the engine and drive away.

Being in the car with Adriana, feeling her scent, the sudden heartbeat, beautiful and yet sad.

Because such a woman, does not belong to him, and he wants to have.

"Luis misses you."

The car drove for a distance, Peter suddenly said.

"The people Luis should be thinking about are you and Theresa."

She corrected.

Since the events of the morning, Adriana's attitude towards him has been nothing but indifference.

Peter has never felt what it's like to be left out by others.

Now here in Adriana deeply experienced, this feeling really bad.

"Haven't you noticed that Luis is particularly fond of you?"

He said.

"Maybe I have a kid's edge and the kids like me."

"I've investigated you before, you've worked as a surrogate for someone, and you've never thought about meeting your child?"

Peter very suddenly changed the subject.

The question took a sudden turn, and Adriana didn't have much to defend or think about.

There was just a moment of silence, remembering five years ago, "Didn't you say it was too much to look back on, why would I bother to remember? I'm just a substitute, a tool to have a child, that child, should not have an irresponsible mother like me. Forget it, it's the best choice."

How could she not miss that child?

Thinking, of course thinking, even thinking like crazy.

But having Helen around is enough, at least, to break her ties.

"I've seen all kinds of women, but you're the only one I've seen who is the most ruthless."

Peter let out a sigh of relief.

"Ruthless?"

Adriana smiled, self-deprecatingly hooked up red lips, "If you have experienced being abandoned by your biological parents, experienced being dragged to sit on the stage, experienced an unbearable childhood, only then do you know what it means to be cruel. A prince like you, who was born with a golden spoon, knows what it means to suffer on earth?"

At least, Adriana thinks that Peter is unlikely to appreciate the pain she once felt, and the unbearable situation.

"How is it that you don't get it?"

Peter slowed down the car and enjoyed the time he had with Adriana talking calmly, which was a small happiness.

"What I have experienced you may not have experienced. An eight-year-old child who has experienced killing, blood and cruelty, witnessed death, and watched his own parents fall in front of him, that's what tears the heart."

These are words that Peter never wants to say to anyone.

Perhaps it is really because Adriana has somehow entered his heart that he is so open with Adriana.

Adriana's eyes dropped slightly, and a little bit of pain flashed under her eyes.

But the pity and pity emotions are fleeting, "these words, you should say to Theresa. Perhaps, she will feel sorry for you, hug you, comfort you. But you tell me, what does it matter to me, I don't care to care." Her fair and tender melon face is always holding a formulaic smile, which seems to make it impossible to see her happiness, anger and sadness.

But that smile is not from the heart, but seems a bit false.

Peter did not speak, there was just a hint of despondency and sadness.

And what a stone-hearted woman.

"I'm curious, what do you care about? Or what do you want most in this world?"

He showed no sign of anger and continued to chat with her calmly.

"What I want is simple, freedom."

All she wants is freedom, too.

Listening to her, Peter's eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought.

She was already all alone, uninhibited, but longed for freedom. What does it mean?

It shows that she has a lot of compulsions and ties.

Limousine arrival at the reserved hotel.

Two people get out of the car.

"Adri?"

Just as she stepped out of the limo, she heard someone behind her calling out to her.

As soon as Adriana turned around, she saw Alvin, dressed in a black and white striped suit.

Not seen for a while, his complexion darkened a few degrees, but looks manly, sexy and mature.

Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he always looks like a gentleman with a svelte appearance, making people feel very close to him.

"Alvin, what a coincidence."

Adriana stood there, looked at the man who came up to her and smiled, "You've changed a lot in the last few days."

"Where has it changed?"

"Getting handsome."

By her a compliment, Alvin blushed slightly, but in foreign countries every day running around being tanned black, wheat skin also do not notice those Xu scarlet blush.

He looked down at her, "You can hug, right?"

The man solicited her opinion in a rather gentlemanly manner.

Adriana, smiling coquettishly and with beautiful eyes, opened her arms, nodded and gave him a ceremonial hug.

Peter on the side saw the two so intimate behavior, his face sank a few points, don't face, don't want to look down for a minute.

This damn woman, smiling like a flower in front of other men, but when facing him is always a cold face.

"Adri, you've lost weight. Is there no one to cook for you and you can't take care of yourself? Let me tell you, I've learned a few new dishes recently, and I'll cook them for you later." "Really? That's great. I've lost my appetite for food lately, so I can improve my diet."

"Okay, then it's a deal."

"Of course it's no problem."

"By the way, Adri, I knew you were coming over and brought you a gift."

With that, he waved to two business elites in suits behind him, who immediately stepped forward and handed Alvin his briefcase.
