Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 36

Peter had to leave though his anger was still burning.

Not until he left did Adriana broke away from Alvin’s hug. With her head down, she showed no gut to face him, “Alvin, thank you…”

“Don’t mention it. That’s what I should do.” He touched her head caringly and added, “Remember to tell me if you are in need.”

“Alvin, thank you for what you’ve done. But…you should know that we can’t be together…” Adriana raised her head to look at him with pure eyes, “We are born to live different lives. Though I have no understanding about the Henderson family, I still know that there used to be an engagement between you and one of the girls from that family. All I hope is that you will develop a pleasing relationship with her.”

Though Alvin was a charming gentleman being nice to her, she was aware that she needed to hold her own bottom line—never should she drive a wedge between Alvin and that girl.

“Adriana, what I said to you just now has all come from the bottom of my heart. I have only met her once many years ago. And I didn’t like her. Instead, I love you. Whatever. I don’t care if there is such an engagement. I would like to marry you. Whatever it takes! Besides, I have a brother, who will shoulder the responsibility to lead the family. So I am totally carefree. If my family disagree with my decision, I am willing to leave the family forever.”

Actually, Alvin hated the atmosphere in his family ever since he was kid. That was why he made himself a common professor and moved out of his family.

All he wanted was a simple life away from his family.

He clenched her wrist hard and confessed to his feelings today.

However, from the perspective of Adriana, it felt like a heavy impact.

It was impossible for her to develop a relationship with Alvin.

Not even a try!

“Alvin, you are getting drunk. Why don’t you go home to sleep? We can have a talk tomorrow. I am tired…I wanna rest…” Adriana broke away from his grip, turned around to enter the bedroom and closed the door.

Meanwhile, Peter had just walked out of the community. Distraught, he started smoking by the road while leaning against a streetlight. His face was soon covered with pale smoke.

However, he couldn’t get Adriana’s face out of his mind.

“Damn it!” he sighted and frowned. Agitation overwhelmed his face.

His peaceful life started to surge up with trouble as soon as Adriana showed up.

What was worse, he could do nothing about it.

Though all ladies appeared repellent to him, he found that Adriana was the exception, whom he had been thinking about during the past four years.

Alvin had been an innocent friend of his, who had never refuted him ever since they knew each other. However, today, Alvin actually argued with him for the sake of Adriana.

Actually, Peter didn’t feel like blaming it on Alvin. Instead, he felt guilty for him.

After all, Alvin had never been in love for all these years. Now he finally got his own dream lover. However, Peter was still entangling with her.

So tricky!

“Peter, I know you will linger around.”

Alvin saw him smoking as soon as he walked out of the community. He smiled and continued, “I am sorry for being so aggressive.”

“It’s okay. That’s what a man should do.” Peter smiled to reply. He shook his head and handed over a cigarette, “That little boy finally grows tough.”

“Peter…”
