Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 49

While watching them arguing, Edward couldn’t help smiling, “Interesting.”

“Hey, shut up!” Peter huffed at him.

Edward shrugged to reply, “Okay, okay, just chill.”

“Adriana, that’s the way you treat your guest?” Peter questioned with a sulky face. Obviously, he was getting embarrassed in front of Edward because of her aggressive words.

“I only pay respect to those guests invited, not unexpected one.”

Adriana actually found it repulsive to face Peter. If it weren’t for the sake of Theresa, she would have driven him out of her apartment.

How dared he play so shameless!

Though displeased, she still maintained her complaint in low voice in case Theresa could capture it in the kitchen.

“Oh, you mean he is unexpected?” Edward noticed something fishy.

He took a glance at both of them, “Peter, that’s not your style.”

Hearing that, Peter responded with a sharp glimpse.

Seeing that, Edward soon shook his head, “Alright, alright…”

The wise choice for him at this moment was to keep silent.

Peter literally took away his cup of coffee while casting a few complacent glances at Adriana.

But Adriana simply replied with a weird smile while staring at him. She seemed to be expecting something.

Peter lifted up the cup and took a sip.

But soon, his serious face went twisted. An awful expression appeared while he fixed his eyes on her out of rage.

But next second, he burst into coughing. Coffee got spilled out of his mouth. His face turned livid at this moment.

“Peter, are you okay?”

When hearing him coughing violently, Theresa hurried over from the kitchen and saw that Peter still kept coughing with his hand pressing against his chest.

She was overwhelmed with worries about him.

She took his hand and asked with great concern, “What happened? You don’t look good.”

Peter put down the cup with one hand pressing against the table. He raised his head to question Adriana, “God damn it! What did you put into the cup?”

He frowned while speaking, burning with anger.

“The cup?” Theresa echoed to ask, “Adriana, what was in the cup?”

“Oh, sorry, there must be some tea with strong bitter taste remaining inside the cup and I forgot rinsing it before filling it with coffee.” Adriana played innocent and smiled awkward, “Mr. Alston, are you okay? I am so sorry I forgot about it. I didn’t mean it. But that was for Edward. Why did you insist on that cup of coffee?” she sighed, but it seemingly sounded like a mockery.

Edward awkwardly smiled when looking at his twisted face. He somehow could tell that Adriana meant it.

“Water! I need water!” while glaring at Adriana, Peter felt like his mouth was overwhelmed with bitterness, which had to be got rid of before arguing with her.

He hated bitterness the most.
