Chapter 556 Fair Play

Book:My Sweet Lawyer Wife Published:2024-5-1

Adriana is so smart that his flashing eyes have already betrayed him.
I just don’t understand when Raylan and Peter two actually together, when the relationship is so good?
“OK, then you guys talk, I’ll wander around and see for myself.”
Adriana said indifferently and walked around Raylan towards the front, strolling around various places.
“Is this a plan to go after Adriana publicly?”
After Adriana had walked away, Raylan looked at Peter and asked.
The man stood pensively, his gaze kept falling on the small woman’s body in the distance, without saying a word.
Default is the best answer.
Raylan suddenly sighed, looked back, also looked at Adriana, lamented: “I Raylan so hard to see the woman is actually the mother of your Peter’s children.”
Raised an eyebrow, quite a bit of helplessness.
Not because he dislikes Adriana, but because Adriana is the mother of Peter’s two children and he has fewer opportunities to pursue them.
Peter’s eyes were dark and thoughtful.
Suddenly, he looked at Raylan, “It’s not like you can’t have a fair fight.”
“A fair fight?”
Raylan was quite surprised, his eyebrows knitted together and he looked at him with an extraordinarily strange look.
Never thought Peter would actually say that.
“Seriously?” He didn’t seem too convinced, so he asked a follow-up question.
“Naturally, it’s true.”
Peter took out a cigarette, handed one to Raylan, took out a cigarette himself and lit it, and smoked it silently by himself.
The two men stood by the railing, one hand holding a cigarette, the other idly resting on the railing.
His thin lips gently open, a faint cigarette spurts out between his lips, dazzling the sight, and even not far from the figure also became blurred a few points.
What was said to Raylan was naturally true.
After a few days of deep thought, Peter figured it out.
If her days are numbered, why bother with Adriana when it would be better to give her a chance to find her true love and not be sad when he leaves?
As for the child …
“But Helen and Luis are her children, and you are capable of handling a relationship with two children?”
Peter inexplicably said, instantly making Raylan confused, “What do you mean?”
“Literally.”
“Oh, you’re trying to say that if Adriana were ever to be with me, I’d have to deal with her issues with the kids?”
Raylan gradually understood, but always felt that Peter was a bit weird today.
After thinking about it, he smiled lightly, “As far as I’m concerned, it’s the same whether there are children or not. I do not have so many worldly ideas, if she is really willing to say yes to me, the child is naturally not a problem.”
He said, he smoked a cigarette fiercely, the cigarette starbursts brightly, curling up light smoke to hide the despondent look on his face.
“All that talk is bullshit, as long as you still like Adriana, how will I have a chance?”
Raylan is a loner by nature, but at this moment in front of Peter is a bit presumptuous. “It’s just that I’ve never understood why you weren’t able to protect Adriana five years ago when you were so powerful. or did you not really love her at all at that time?”
Referring to five years ago, Peter’s eyes darkened a little, “Five years ago …”
Slowly hanging his head, looking out through the glass window, overlooking half the city, although the streets are very busy with traffic, but can not fill the empty space in Peter’s heart.
“Incompetence.”
His sudden words, Raylan thought it would lead to his heartfelt words, but did not expect to finally spit out only two words.
Incompetence?
So how could a man of great depth feel incompetent?
For a moment, Raylan didn’t know how to answer the question.
It’s just that the mind keeps wondering what the relationship is between Peter and FE.
If you say he is the head, naturally, it is impossible, after all, his young age does not match the date of the creation of FE.
“All right, I’m out of here. ”
Peter stood for a while and realized that as long as he was here, Adriana was reluctant to come over, intentionally distant, and there was no point in him staying on if he did.
Standing up straight, he threw the cigarette butt into the trash can and turned to walk away.
As he walked away, he said, “My words just now count, give you a fair chance to compete, if you win, I will withdraw.”
He pressed open the elevator and stepped inside.
Raylan stood sideways, facing the direction of the elevator for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
At this time one person tapped him on the shoulder, “What fair chance to compete, what are you competing for?”
Adriana suddenly came up behind him and seemed to hear what Peter had just said.
“No, nothing, work stuff.”
He certainly would not tell it straight in front of Adriana and casually lied.
Raylan raised his eyebrows and smiled, pointing to his newly chosen branch address, “How’s that going? From today onwards, the Powells’ branch will be located in Waverly, so I’ll have to ask you to take care of it in the future.”
“Are you kidding me? I can take care of you? I am from the Soto family, but have no intention of returning to the Soto family.”
Adriana honestly did not intend to meet the Soto family.
“You won’t go, and Old Mr. Soto and Harlee will agree?”
“It’s their business to agree or disagree, not mine.”
“So what are you going to do back there?”
“Let’s take a step, it’s hard to say right now.”
Too many things have happened recently, with twists and turns and storms, she can’t make a good choice, she can only take one step and see what happens.
Adriana’s face is gloomy, as long as the thought of these tricky things feel very helpless, do not know what to do.
“What, you’re not going to run away from this and follow Anne and Vivian to Los Angeles to hide, are you?”
“Well, it does have that idea.”
Adriana nodded and glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, “I’d like to, but you think THE Soto family would give me a chance?”
That’s just delusional.
“Come on, it’s late, let’s buy you dinner.”
Two people left Flyscore Building directly by car, and at this time one person came out from a hidden place, looking at the direction they left, the eyes deepened a few points, invisible more than a few of the color of grief.
This afternoon, Adriana was busy in the company, people have not left the company, suddenly an unexpected guest appeared in the company.
Adriana was already in a sullen mood when Sloane messed up at the office in the morning, but the moment she saw Harlee appear, she became even more upset.
“Something?”
She cold eyes, glanced at the instant to withdraw her gaze, continue to work with their heads down.
“Grandpa asked me to find you, he’s waiting for you at the Asnana Hotel for dinner.”
The man walked in and stood in front of Adriana relaying the words of the old man.
“Sorry, no time.”
Decisive refusal, without delay.
“Adri, I know that what happened to you in recent years has left a lot of shadows on you, and maybe you hate me in your heart, but I’m doing it all for your own good. I …”
Harlee propped her hands on the desktop and leaned down to look at Adriana, who was halfway through her sentence when the little woman suddenly raised her eyes and shot a pair of dark, sharp eyes straight at her, “Are you done?”
She held a black signature pen in her hand and tapped the paper on her desk, “I’m working on my work, I’ll talk about it later.”
The sudden strong pressure on Harlee, let him to the mouth on the words and swallowed back, hesitated a few seconds when really walked to the side of the sofa to sit down.
