Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 179 Helen boarding uncle's house

"Okay, no problem."

Jenkins responded without hesitation, inclining her head and asking Helen, "Would you like to go to

your uncle's house to play?"

"Yeah, yeah."

Helen likes Jenkins quite a bit, so naturally she doesn't mind.

"Helen be good, from now on you let uncle pick you up from school during the day and I'll pick you up

at night when I'm done."

"Hmm."

Because since childhood, Adriana raised Helen and spent her days running around earning money,

she grew up almost under the care of many people, so she slowly adapted to the situation.

Thinking about it, Adriana still felt guilty.

After dinner, leaving the restaurant, Adriana pulled Jenkins aside.

"Adri, is there something you want to say to me?"

Seeing that she wanted to say something, Jenkins took the initiative and asked.

Adriana sighed, hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, although I don't like Hayley very much, but

she is Thelma's daughter, your sister in the end. So, I sincerely advise you, let her stay away from

Brenden, the farther the better!"

That man is a snake with a very poisonous nature, ferocious and extremely dangerous.

"Okay, I'll do what you want."

Jenkins asked, "Why are you still so close to Brenden? I know, you don't like Brenden. is there some

kind of hidden secret?"

She said several times that Brenden was dangerous.

Jenkins trusts her unconditionally, yet cares for her.

Feeling his concern for herself, Adriana's heart warmed, her red lips raised a sweet smile, "Brother, I

have my own ideas."

"You ......"

"No need to say more, I know you care about me. But I've grown up, understand?"

Adriana brushed his hand away, "I'll be off then, remember to pick up Helen from school tomorrow."

After saying that, without giving Jenkins any chance to speak, he led Helen directly to the car and left.

Looking at the sedan that disappeared into the twilight, Jenkins uneasily walked up to Vivian and

asked, "Vivian, has Adri had anything ...... lately" This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

"What does what have to do with you?"

He didn't finish, Vivian already knew what he was going to say and disliked it, "Just mind Hayley."

"Hey, anyway, we're partners, right, what's your attitude?" Jenkins was a little helpless.

"Then what attitude should I have towards you? At work, you are my boss, but in life, we are still a little

bit away from being friends."

In front of Adriana, Vivian is a well-behaved, smart and competent assistant, but in life, Vivian is the

high-strung girl.

Personality, frank, vaguely icy.

Jenkins was extremely speechless and watched her leave, derisively unable to say a word.

......

The next day was sunny and warm, but a little hot.

Today, Alvin's grandfather's birthday will be celebrated with a banquet at the Green Hotel.

Adriana took the morning off after her busy day.

In the afternoon, went shopping with Brenden at the mall.

The evening is the opportunity to announce their engagement, and it is important to attend in full

costume.

I drove to Signcoms Mall and went straight to the brand counter.

Adriana looked at the wide range of clothes and aroused the desire to shop, as if she hadn't come to

buy clothes properly since her return to China.

"Brenden, I'll shop on my own, no need for company. Just remember to reimburse me, though."

Adriana really didn't want to go in and out with him when it was just a show.

"You're about to get engaged and you're still distant from me now, what will people think?"

Brenden removed his sunglasses, a pair of seductive peach blossom eyes revealed a mercurial smile,

walked up to her and stopped her shoulder, "From today, you will not only adapt to my presence, but

also learn to maintain a basic tacit understanding with me."

"You're overthinking it, I don't have that kind of energy."

Adriana brushed Brenden's hand away and walked into a dress store.

The large brand store, a full three floors, display shelves of dresses are the latest styles of dresses,

models of amazing prices.

"Hello ladies and gentlemen, come in and take a look, these are the latest evening dresses that are

new in today, any of you like can try them on."

The shopper was extremely attentive.

Adriana jowls slightly and looks around the store.

"Madam, there are many more styles on the second and third floors, you can go upstairs to have a

look." The shopper made an inviting gesture.

Adriana is also not pretentious, carrying the bag is about to go upstairs, but suddenly see two people

walking down the stairs.

"Peter, which one looks better, the gown on the first floor just now or this one?"

Theresa, dressed in a blue bustier corseted fishtail evening gown, came down the stairs, her hand on

Peter's arm, smiling like a flower.

She saw them, and Peter saw her.

The two men's eyes collided, Peter's pace was a beat, and his cold eyes sank slightly.

Theresa noticed the difference in him and followed her gaze to see Adriana standing below.

Peter wore a silver gray suit with a pure black collar and a white shirt with a silver bow tied around his

neck.

Under the light of the yellowish light in the stairwell, standing next to Theresa in a charming blue dress,

it was such a good match, a match made in heaven, a good man and a good woman.

"Adriana?"

The first to speak is Theresa, with a light makeup she looks very young and seductive.

But at the moment her look reveals a few moments of vitriol.

"Why are you here?" She questioned.

At the sound of the voice, Adriana returned to her senses.

Deep and complex eyes looked at Theresa, the corners of his lips raised a nice and not too rude light

smile, "Sorry, didn't know you guys were there. I won't bother you guys anymore, I'll leave first."

She turned away, not wanting to have too much interaction with the two of her.

Each mind, each calculation, get together is also a waste of expression, in vain disgust.

"Slow down."

At that moment, Brenden, who was standing aside, came out.

Taking Adriana's waist in one hand, she stood there and said, "Adri, how can I ruin the mood by the

presence of others when I accompanied you to pick out a dress today?"

The words continued with a beat: "Don't forget, we have to announce our engagement to the public

tonight."

The words, although addressed to Adriana, he looked at Peter.

A slight provocative and smug smile emerged from the bottom of his eyes.

"Engaged?"

Spare Peter how to control their emotions, but at this moment also can not suppress the emotions.

Shaking off Theresa's hand, she took three or two steps down the steps and stood in front of Adriana,

looking slightly nervous as she questioned, "You're engaged to Brenden?"

"Yes, the matter was talked about at The Alston family's old house last time, so why should Mr. Alston

be so nervous."

Adriana stepped back a bit, keeping a distance from him.

"Oh my gosh, Adri, you're all getting engaged? That's wonderful."

Upon hearing this, Theresa's ugly look was instantly replaced by one of elation.

She hurriedly came downstairs, walked around Peter, took Adriana's hands, smiling, "I am so happy for

you, so soon to be engaged. You say you ah, actually still hide it from me, so that I misunderstood

you."
