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

“What does that mean? Why does it sound to me like he’s protecting you? We’re not from THE Soto family, so why is he spending a lot of money to give you all the FE’s, what kind of operation is this?”
Harlee thought about it and couldn’t understand why.
And Adriana knew that Harlee was somewhat anxious to find out the result, she still withheld it.
“I don’t know. But after being in contact with Old Mr. Soto in recent times, I found out that he might not be a bad guy. So, in to see.”
“That’s done.”
Despite Harlee’s doubts, Adriana said Old Mr. Soto could be trusted, so maybe he could be trusted.
Otherwise, at this critical moment, Old Mr. Soto would not have been generous enough to assign all of FE’s people to Adriana.
On the way, Adriana received a text from Aaren and the two set off towards their destination.
It was fast and anxious.
But for some reason, Adriana is not as anxious as she was a moment ago.
Because she knew that Peter had already passed and was already by Luis’ side, there must not be any problem with him protecting Luis.
Half an hour later, beside a cruise ship in the East China Sea, Adriana stood on the shore looking at that one cruise ship and couldn’t help but have a wild twitch at the corner of her mouth.
Hopefully she rushed over in a hurry and they people are actually on the cruise now.
Then how could she … get on?
“Where’s Aaren?”
Harlee asked.
“He and Peter are both on the cruise ship now. The cruise ship now has Tatum’s people on board, as well as Brenden and Peter.”
“Shit, who knows what’s going on in there right now? Gotta find a way to get up there, or else Luis will be in danger if Peter isn’t Tatum’s match.”
As Luis’s uncle, Harlee is naturally worried about Luis’s safety.
“Let’s wait and see.”
Adriana sighed and stood by the river blowing the sea breeze, waiting anxiously.
Since Peter was on the cruise ship, he was bound to have a certain degree of certainty.
The child is his own child, and no one would be more worried about the child’s well-being than Peter.
Because it was daytime, there were not many people on the shore.
That one cruise ship wasn’t too far away from them.
At this very moment, bang bang bang –
A few voices came through, very loud, and the sound echoed for a long time before dissipating.
Adriana’s heart jerked up, her eyes widened as she looked at Harlee, and the two subconsciously looked toward the cruise ship.
“Come on, get on board.”
Adriana pointed to a yacht next to her, the one Aaren had gone to charter just after coming over.
The three of them got on the yacht and Giovanny drove the yacht towards the cruise ship over there and drove fast.
The yacht was fast, but Adriana wasn’t afraid, having been on it many times when she was on the unnamed island, and didn’t feel scared.
But in ten minutes, it had arrived next to that one cruise ship.
This moment listening, but there is no sound inside.
Adriana didn’t know what was going on inside and was very worried.
Securing the yacht, Giovanny took out a climbing rope from the yacht and threw it up, and he took the lead and climbed up first.
The situation above was safe, Adriana went up next, and finally Harlee.
Standing on the deck, the top is empty, the large cruise ship is silent, except for the passing sea breeze, the sound of the waves.
“Be careful.”
Adriana admonished, “Split up.”
The three split up, Giovanny went up there alone, and Adriana went right in with Harlee as a team of two.
The cruise ship is huge, with a total of five floors high inside.
There are guest rooms on the upper level, a common activity area on the lower level, and a floor of entertainment facilities in the middle.
Because there were many people on the cruise ship, music was playing inside and many people were shuttling to and from the ship.
So the presence of three people on the cruise ship did not attract attention.
On the contrary, Adriana was a little uneasy, “There are so many people, there is no way to know where they are.”
“It’s only possible to split up.”
Harlee thought it would be great to split up, but there were so many people on the cruise ship that it would only be more trouble if they were scattered and in danger.
“Keep in touch by phone.”
In order to find Luis as soon as possible, Adriana has no choice but to do this.
“Good.”
The two separated and Adriana went directly to the entertainment floor one floor above.
This cruise ship is similar in design to the cruise ship that Alvin had for his birthday when he first returned to Waverly, and although he had not been here, he could also understand the basic furnishings.
When she went upstairs and looked at the waiters passing by, her eyes narrowed slightly and when she saw a waitress wearing a hat passing by, she raised her hand and slashed the waitress with a knife.
Dragged her into an unoccupied room to change her clothes and locked the person in the bathroom.
Stepping out of the room, Adriana surveyed each floor, trying not to miss anything.
However, the person did not go far, suddenly one person wrapped his arm around her waist and brought her inside a room.
Adriana was so frightened that she looked back and realized that the person who had led her into the room was actually Peter.
“How did you … you … you get here?”
The man was wearing a navy blue suit, handsome haircut light can be seen, a few days without seeing, he seems more haggard a few points, but still can not hide that handsome face.
“That’s what I should be asking you.”
Peter said.
“Where’s Luis, have you found Luis yet?”
Leaning in the man’s arms, despite some discomfort, but feel the temperature of his body, the familiar scent of the face, Adriana can not help the heart of a slight twitch cowering.
The man near at hand is the one she has been thinking about day and night.
And now finally appearing in front of her, she really wanted to reach out and brush his face, hug him and give him a kiss.
But she was still sensible enough to control all her emotions.
“LuisRene is unharmed and has asked Aaren to send him back to Orchard House.”
“So soon? Aaren even sent me the address just now.”
“He hasn’t been gone much longer.”
“Oh.”
Adriana answered, her eyes flickering slightly, not daring to look directly at the man’s familiar face, and reached out to push him away, “Then … since Luis is fine, I’ll leave first.”
She didn’t want to get too close to Peter.
“Wait.”
Seeing her about to leave, Peter yanked the little woman’s wrist, “Who did you come with?”
“Giovanny and Harlee.”
“A large part of the cruise ship is Tatum’s people, you stay with me and don’t wander off.”
Peter looked down at the small woman in front of him, the same woman who kept him up at night.
And now that the little woman is right in front of him, Peter really wants to reach out and hug her, feel her temperature, the familiar scent of her body.
But in the end, I don’t dare to be reckless.
“I’m fine. since Luis is not on the cruise ship, I’ll go first.”
“Can’t go.”
“Why?”
“If I’m right, the three of you were already discovered by the other side when you got on the cruise ship, only to invite the king into the jar, you think, Tatum will let you go?”
Impossible.
Adriana didn’t know exactly what had just happened, but her intuition told her that something big must have happened, otherwise Peter wouldn’t have been so nervous.
