Peter is rarely angry with Sloane.
Today he seems to look bland, but the pair of dark ink-like eyes released a cold cold light, people’s backs a chill, the heart scare.
Sloane was chilled by his glare, swallowed and immediately wilted his tone, “I’m just saying. Our mother wants you to marry Theresa early, after all, she is pregnant and her family is not too bad.”
“Roll.”
His thin lips are slightly open and he said only one word.
“Ch, just go, why do I have to roll?”
Sloane skimmed his lips, “Mom, can you control your son properly? All day long, he’s being seduced by Adriana, and he doesn’t know what he’s thinking.”
She huffed, kicked her foot on the desk, grunted, and turned around to leave the office.
“What’s wrong with you kid, how do you talk to your sister? All day long you know how to bully her.”
With that, Mrs. Alston slapped a heavy hand on the table and placed a birth date card in front of him, “I went to see Logan today and discussed with him about your marriage to Theresa, and he expressed his pleasure. This side your grandfather has already agreed, only you are left.”
Peter’s cool eyes skimmed slightly, raised his hand to pick up the copy of the birth date on the table, opened it and looked at it, and threw it directly into the trash.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Mrs. Alston was on fire and immediately picked up the birth date card from the trash can and patted the non-existent dust on it, “This matter has been settled, you have to agree even if you don’t.”
“So what’s the point of you coming over here and telling me again?”
“You …!”
Mrs. Alston pointed at him and trembled with anger, but the next moment, her eyes lit up, releasing starbursts, and she immediately smiled, “You are saying yes? Really?”
Peter wouldn’t have spoken like that if he hadn’t already agreed.
Peter was silent, looking down at the information, not wanting to talk to Mrs. Alston.
“Ai yo yo, you dead boy is considered not hanging on a crooked neck tree. Well, well, well, just promise.”
Mrs. Alston was overjoyed, reached out and patted him on the shoulder and laughed happily, “Hahahaha, I’ll tell your grandfather, he must be very happy. The girl is looking forward to getting married to you, hoping for the stars and the moon, finally. It seems that sometimes you still have to use some of the tricks that are not on the table, quite good.”
“Get out, I want to work.”
Hearing the words of his own matriarch, Peter’s face grew colder and colder.
He never thought that it was his mother who encouraged Theresa to spike his drink that day.
“OK, OK, OK, anything as long as you say yes. You work, you work, I’ll hurry and inform The Lindsay Family and tell your grandfather to prepare for the wedding.”
Mrs. Alston smiled from ear to ear and walked out of the office with a smile on her face, her heart swept away.
For a while, Peter was the only person left in the large office.
It was a mess in my head, and my head was dull and aching, and it was bad.
…
The Alston family joined forces with the Lindsay Group and the news spread.
But it is more than an hour is already well known.
“Peter, are you crazy to marry Theresa! You know full well that child he …”
In the office Zac burst in, disregarding the secretary and was furious.
“Mr. Alston, I’m sorry I couldn’t stop it.”
Peter waved his hand, “Go down first.”
“Yes.”
The secretary responded and walked out of the office and closed the door.
Peter leisurely got up, “Come, accompany me out for a drink.”
He picked up the trench coat on the hanger and put it on his body in a flowing manner, a taciturn posture, as if the big thing that happened that day had nothing to do with him.
“What are you doing?!”
Zac yelled and shoved Peter, “What time is it and you’re still drinking? What’s so great about it? Do you really want to drink yourself to death to feel good?”
He really doesn’t know what’s in Peter’s mind.
“Where’s all the nonsense?”
Peter looked cool, not angry, “Let you drink with me, just go with me.”
The tone is very calm, so Zac’s catharsis as if a punch on cotton, very weak, take him is helpless.
“What’s to drink? What’s good to drink?”
Zac’s fists were clenched in anger, “You think I don’t know what you’re really thinking? You want to marry Theresa, make Adriana hate you, and then a few days later, Adriana will win the lawsuit and it will be all over between you two, right? Because you know your days are numbered, so you don’t want Adriana to have any feelings for you, to make her desperate for you. Isn’t that right?”
What others don’t know Zac knows all.
Everything is as one would expect.
Clang–
Once again, the office door was pushed open.
The two turned around and found Alvin and Edward standing in the doorway, looking at the two of them with unblinking eyes.
“What’s going on?”
Alvin’s eyebrows knitted slightly, an incredulous look of shock.
“Who’s time is running out? Big brother?”
Although Edward is usually not good at talking, but several brothers are deeply attached to each other.
The two of them also got the news that Peter was going to marry Theresa and the two of them, so they rushed over at the first opportunity.
It just so happens that we met in the lobby downstairs.
“What brings you here?”
Peter’s sharp eyes glared hard at Zac, then he smiled at the two, “Why are you free to come over? Zac and I were just about to go for a drink, want to join us?”
Peter, who is usually unperturbed, looked slightly stiff today and could not help but raise his hand to tug at his tie.
Between words and actions there is a heart of weakness.
“Don’t pull away from the subject.”
Alvin walked in and stood in front of Peter, that warm face tinged with a hint of anger, “Was what Zac just said true or not?”
He suddenly remembered the day Adriana suddenly appeared in front of him and asked something about Peter, when he didn’t think much about it.
Now I recall and think about Peter’s demeanor in the recent past, I do think there is something wrong.
Only he was immersed in a whirlwind of emotions and couldn’t help himself and didn’t pay too much attention to Peter’s affairs.
“You said something about me and Theresa getting married?”
Peter straightened his tie, deliberately avoided Alvin’s gaze, and said disdainfully, “Yes, to get married. theresa had a child so easily, naturally she should be responsible for it.”
“Pe…”
Zac was so angry, his brain wanted to tell the truth, but Peter immediately shot a stern look, he immediately silenced.
“The child is yours?”
Among the brothers, Edward is the one who is the best at reading people’s minds.
After all, they are soldiers and are more perceptive in all aspects.
He stepped in front of Peter, his eyes narrowed slightly, “You must be hiding something from us.”
“Really? Tell me, where do you see it from?”
