Chapter 726 – Acquiescence

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

Seeing that she was not in a good mood, the man walked up to her and sat across from her.
“Adriana, I know it’s bad timing to talk about Peter in front of you now, but you should really think about the future. A month will pass in the blink of an eye, and then, what will you do?”
Raylan’s heart is only for Adriana, and the person he worries about is also Adriana.
Although now working with Brenden, but that is all the old man’s decision, he can not interfere.
“One can only take one step at a time.”
Adriana reached up and rubbed her temples, a little tired, “The situation is getting more and more complicated, I don’t care about anything but Peter’s body.”
In one sentence, it has shown Adriana’s current thoughts and attitude.
Raylan’s mind wandered back to that day in the plaza along River Road when she and Peter were clinging to each other.
“His days are numbered, so stay with him. As for Old Mr. Soto, I would advise you to stay out of it and let nature take its course. If you go before the old man now and emphasize your relationship with me, you will be the one who will be embarrassed.”
Raylan meant to temporarily acquiesce to the false relationship she had with Raylan to give Old Mr. Soto peace of mind so that he could spend more time with Peter.
After all, his days are numbered and it is better to have more company in the days ahead.
Adriana thinks the way Raylan said is great and can be …
“Raylan, you’ve done so much for me, there’s really no way I can make it up to you. You really don’t have to do this.”
Knowing that the debt could not be repaid, Raylan still kept giving a lot for her in silence.
“I don’t need you to do anything, as long as you’re doing well.”
Raylan shrugged, “Okay, I’ve got some business at the office, so I’ll go back. old Mr. Soto’s side, you’d better not talk.”
When he was leaving, he gave an uneasy admonition.
Adriana had mixed feelings, “Thank you.”
All of the words were combined into a single thank you, and that was the only thing Adriana wanted to say to Raylan.
Walked to the office door and walked him to the elevator.
“Let’s go, remember to buy me dinner later.”
“No problem.”
Adriana waved to him as the elevator slowly closed and went down.
She stood still, her hands clasped together somewhat uneasily, looking down and thinking about what had happened recently, really feeling that instead of resolving all the things, they were entangled and further complicated.
“What’s on your mind?”
Behind them, a voice suddenly rang out.
Startled, she looked at Harlee, who had appeared out of nowhere, and she bristled, “I thought you went back with Old Mr. Soto, why are you still here?”
I don’t think she heard what she said to Raylan just now.
As it turns out, Harlee’s reaction says it all.
He must not have heard it, if he did, it must have exploded by now.
“I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you still haven’t told me where you’ve been until now. How can I comply with you if you don’t give me an explanation?”
He stood by Adriana’s side, “I’ve taken care of everything for you lately, so if you want to take a vacation, you can also rest and relax at home. Grandpa talked to the Powells, Raylan is interested in you and wants to marry you. So that’s what calmed the anger in grandpa’s heart. Otherwise, do you think you can really Rene stand here unharmed?”
Harlee is really good to Adriana and really means it.
Just a lot of times the body can not help himself, he is also helpless.
“Got it. Is there anything else?”
Thinking back on what Raylan just said, I have to say that his decision was the best choice.
In order to have some peace in life, it is better not to go to explain everything to the old man recently.
“You didn’t answer my question.”
Seeing her going back to her office, Harlee stepped directly in front of her, “Don’t hold back.”
Adriana was pestered by Harlee, “I’ve said I’m not in a good mood lately, I’m going out for a walk alone, why don’t you believe me?”
“Really? As far as I know, Peter has also disappeared recently. You two …”
“You suspect that we are together? Yes, Peter and I are together, and not only are we together, we went out on our honeymoon. It’s all said and done, are you satisfied now.”
She deliberately admitted everything in front of Harlee.
Perhaps because of the penetration of Harlee’s ‘conceited’ heart, so after finishing, Harlee laughed, “Okay, just kidding, I believe you, there will be no crossover with Peter.”
Before Adriana and Peter two incompatible scene, he saw in the eyes of the natural or trust.
Adriana cried and laughed as she bypassed Harlee and returned to her office, sitting at her desk and flipping through recent company reports and information, fully engaged in her work.
After a busy time at the office, it was time to leave work.
Harlee insisted on dining with Adriana, and Adriana had no way to refuse, so she agreed.
After lunch, Harlee left and went to other companies.
Adriana returned to the company to continue working.
Buzz–
While working, What’s App received a message.
It’s Peter’s.
Open the message with the phrase above: [Adriana, miss you].
I’ve known Peter for so long, but I’ve never seen Peter say such a sarcastic thing.
She was so happy in her heart that she couldn’t help but show the shyness of a little girl.
[Me too.]
Edited three words and replied to it.
When I put the phone down, I felt it was inappropriate again, so I called Peter.
The number was dialed, and before it rang, the person answered.
“What, did Adriana miss me?”
On the other end of the phone, Peter’s warm voice came through, and through the phone, Adriana could imagine his handsome face swirling with laughter.
“Well, think.”
Adriana leaned back in the executive chair, raised her eyes to the ceiling, swiveled her chair, and sank into a feverish love affair.
That’s a great feeling.
“I’ll pick you up after work tonight?”
“Today? Not appropriate, I guess. I’ll see you tonight.”
“I’ll come and get you.”
The other party repeated and added, “I haven’t even picked you up from work before, I really want to feel it.”
It is clear that the words of affection, but after saying it changed a taste, inexplicably added a few sentimental atmosphere, let people heartache.
“Well, then, I’ll let you know tonight after work.”
“Good. What did you have for lunch?”
“Noon …”
Sitting in the executive chair, Adriana propped her feet on the floor, spun her chair, and when spun around to face the desk, he found Harlee had reappeared.
Adriana’s cheeks went slightly white, with the feeling of having been caught doing something wrong.
She immediately said to Peter on the other side of the phone, “Harlee’s here, I’ll hang up now.”
After saying that, he just hung up the phone.
The smile on his cheeks also disappeared instantly into nothing.
“Harlee, don’t you know how to knock?”
She was really angry.
On the phone.
What would Harlee think if she knew the person on the other side of the phone was Peter? It would certainly be very bad for Peter.
“Who are you talking to on the phone?”
He smiled in the face of Adriana’s anger and sat down at the table to watch her.
