Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 21

Adriana worried that Kenny was not good at pretending, so she handed Alvin a beautifully wrapped present and headed inside with Kenny in a hurry. "Alvin, excuse us."

Without waiting for Alvin's response, they rushed indirectly.

As they walked up to the second floor, Kenny was stunned by the sight of the magnificent cruise ship. There was a large ballroom lingering with elegant music on the first floor. Gorgeous men and women in their delicate suits and gowns were dancing to the music on the dance floor.

On the second floor was the dining hall. On the long tables on both sides of the hall, there were various delicious desserts, champagne, and wine, bedecking with beautiful pink roses.

Well-dressed people from the upper classes gathered in dribs and drabs in the hall.

Having never been to a place like this, Kenny went weak in the knees. "Ms. Hale, I... I... I have a stomachache. I need to go to the restroom."

"Okay."

Adriana waved her hand and didn't mind.

She went into the hall by herself, took a sip of a cup of fresh orange juice, and found a place to sit down.

Just as she sat down, her cellphone buzzed.

It was a text message from Kenny. "Ms. Hale, something from home just came up. I have to go. My phone is out of battery, so don't call me."

"Kenny!"

Adriana snapped and dropped the goblet on the table heavily.

What a coward!

She sighed with frustration. All of a sudden, the light in front of her darkened, a shadow casting on the table.

Adriana put her hand down from her forehead, looked up, and saw a slender man standing against the light in front of her.

He was dressed in a sapphire blue suit, which advertised his straight and firm body, holding a glass of wine with his delicate long fingers.

His gorgeous face seemed like it was delicately carved, which framed his dark eyes.

"Adriana, you forgot my warning so quickly. You don’t think I mean it, do you?" The man looked down at Adriana and said in a cold voice.

Adriana stood and stared up at Peter unemotionally. "Peter, you don’t need to worry. I came with my husband."

"Really?”

Peter slightly raised his eyebrows and glanced around. "Where is he?”

"He..." Adriana tilted her lip and lapsed into silence for a second.

Then she prevaricated, "He... he came with me and left after giving Alvin our present.” She looked down at the glass of orange juice on the table and lost all arrogance.

He reached out and pointed to the people in the hall. "Adriana, I warn you. I don’t care if you want to curry favor with any of these guys, just get away from Alvin. He is my friend, not your game! "

My game?

Pressing her lips in a thin line, Adriana clenched her fists on the table and tried hard to stay calm. “Same to you. Theresa is my best friend. She deserves to be loved." She deliberately reminded him.

"Well, mind your own business." Peter snorted contemptuously.

"Peter, you are here.” Theresa came over, put her arms around his arm, and then looked at Adriana. There was a meaningful smile on her face. "Adriana, you are also here."

As Theresa came, Adriana felt a bit awkward and worried that she would misunderstand her.
