Chapter 678 Prelude to the Storm

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

Hank has been with Peter for a long time, and Peter knows something about him.
“Because Brenden was involved in the Ethines park project, Old Mr. Alston was pleased and met with Brenden in the afternoon.”
“And then?”
“And then … I heard that the old man already has ideas about handing over the reins to Brenden.”
After Hank finished, he looked up at Peter and said, “Boss, since you know Leonidas is not Brenden’s child at all, why didn’t you just tell Old Mr. Alston?”
Peter understands Hank, but there are times when Hank has no idea what Peter really thinks.
The so-called ‘gentleman’s heart is unpredictable’, said roughly is Peter such people.
His thoughts were always so unexpected that he could not figure them out.
“No rush, it’s not that day yet. Now it’s just the prelude to the storm, take your time and wait.”
“Yes …”
Hank nods his head.
Standing behind him looking at his frail appearance, a heartbreak.
Shaking his head and sighing deeply, he turned and retreated.
There was no telling how long this would last and Hank was worried about Peter’s current physical condition.
Although Peter’s brothers are Edward and a few of them, but the truth is that the longest time with him or Hank.
The two men have long been like brothers.
“Send Jimmy over to see me.”
Before Hank could leave the room, Peter ordered again.
“Okay.”

Adriana stays at the office until the afternoon.
Seeing that it was about time, I drove to the school to pick up my children.
But who knew that when he walked to the entrance of the school, he saw Peter standing over there.
“What brings you here?”
Adriana asked.
Xu because Raylan told her today that Tiana came to Waverly, then the most disadvantageous is Peter.
So, the attitude towards him is less indifferent than before.
“Knowing that you are rather busy, I am going to take the children to the hospital to stay with their grandmother, and I will send them to your house in the evening ….”
Peter looked at Adriana and his thin lips lifted into a smile.
But that smile fell so harsh in Adriana’s eyes.
Not for other reasons, but when Adriana saw him smiling, she noticed the color of his lips and noticed that they were very red.
It shows good health and is very good.
Where is the slightest sign of weakness?
Suddenly, I felt that all my previous concern for Peter was superfluous.
I’m sure you’re a liar, and you can’t change your virtues at any time.
Adriana didn’t say another word.
Last night she thought it over and decided that she was being selfish and that it would be better to let the two children spend some time with Mrs. Alston.
It is said that parents are the first teachers of their children, if their own practices extreme, I think the child will also leave a shadow on the psychological.
“Just pick up the kids on the weekends and spend time with your mom.”
Adriana thought for a moment and said.
The voice was small, not very clear in the noisy crowd, but Peter heard it clearly.
His eyes lit up, and his dull, lifeless eyes were instantly filled with power.
“Thanks.”
“No need to thank me, I just think it’s hard for your mom to take care of two kids.”
Adriana didn’t say it in a good mood.
Peter laughs and doesn’t say anything.
So, it is enough.
“So, as a thank you, can I invite you to dinner?”
Peter asked Adriana for her opinion.
“No need.”
Just the thought of seeing Theresa today, with her big show of affection in front of her and the red, festive wedding invitation, was an eyesore for Adriana.
Where else would you have dinner with him?
“Peter?”
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.
When they both turned around, they saw a woman walking through the crowd, standing next to Peter and wrapping her arms around him.
“Yah, Adri, you’re here too.”
Theresa smiled toward Adriana and said, “I just went to the hospital and mom said Peter came over to pick up Luis and Helen, so I followed.”
In front of Adriana, Theresa shows her love on purpose.
As if the whole world didn’t know that Theresa was about to get married to Peter, she changed her name to Mom early.
Before that, however, Mrs. Alston was also considered Theresa’s godmother, so it’s not wrong to call her ‘mom’.
“Oh.”
Adriana responded.
Because Adriana didn’t really know what to say other than to say yes to her.
“I’ll be fine on my own, you don’t have to come over.”
Peter said with an expressionless face.
Perhaps because of the weakness of the body, the speech is not as sharp as in the past, falling in Adriana’s ears as if Peter was extra gentle to Theresa.
“Since you’re here, I’ll go first.”
She really does not want to be a light bulb here.
“Adri, let’s dine together tonight. I just called with Mr. Powell about the company and just happened to tell her you were at school and he’s already on his way over.”
Theresa took it upon herself to invite Raylan over.
“No need.”
Adriana refused outright.
Peter said, “Eventually you’ll have to eat in the evening, so how about taking the two kids together to a nearby restaurant?”
“Yes, yes, Adri, I would like to join you. By the way, I want you to give me your advice, after all, it’s late and already setting up the wedding site, I want you to help me with your advice, okay?”
Recently, Theresa rarely appears with Peter because of various things happening more often.
Now that their wedding is near, Theresa is deliberately looking for opportunities to show her affection in front of Adriana, which really makes Adriana feel bored.
“Just get a designer for the wedding, Adriana … doesn’t understand.”
When Theresa was away, Peter would only address her as ‘Adriana’, and now that Theresa is there, he addresses her as ‘Adriana’.
So deliberate, in turn, that Adriana found it ironic and ridiculous.
“Yeah, I don’t get it.”
Adriana finished and walked straight away.
Just squeezed out of the crowd, they found a car parked on the side of the road and Raylan stepped out of it.
“Adri?”
From a distance, Raylan also saw Adriana and waved towards her.
“Mommy? Mommy?”
The children were already out of school, and before Adriana had a chance to leave, two children were heard calling out to her from behind.
Adriana sweats a little and laments that she is not going fast enough.
Luis and Helen pounced towards Adriana, took her hand and said, “Mommy, I see Daddy is over there too.”
Helen pointed to Peter and Theresa standing over there and said, “Mommy, Daddy is getting married to Theresa, do you really have no idea?”
Adriana: “…”
Naive children are too precocious and make her feel headache.
“Hey, cutie, out of school? You don’t even bother to see your uncle?”
Raylan arrived just in time to diffuse an awkward conversation.
The two children affectionately called out to their uncle.
Theresa and Peter walked over there, and Theresa spoke again, “Since we’re all gathered together, let’s go straight to the neighborhood and have some dinner. After all, it’s not early.”
Peter didn’t say anything, and Raylan, his eyes surveying Adriana and Peter, nodded and said, “Good.”
