My Sweet Lawyer Wife

Edward squinted at Adriana with an unpredictable look.

His eyes seemed to be able to read her mind.

Adriana was rendered quite uncomfortable She hurried to say to Alvin, “Alvin, why don’t you invite them to my apartment for a talk?”

While speaking, she turned to look at Flora and Edward, “Would you like to join us for dinner?”

Edward looked at Flora, waiting for her answer. While Flora nodded to agree, “Great! I’d love to!”

Then she said to Edward, “Edward, just go with Alvin. I will go with Adriana to the supermarket.”

“Okay.” Edward nodded and laid his hand on Alvin’s shoulder, “Come on, let’s go. I haven’t met Peter for a long time.”

Alvin appeared a bit hesitant while looking at the two ladies. After some consideration, he walked away with Edward.

Adriana felt like being stuffed with mixed feelings when looking at them walking into the apartment building.

“Hey, are you gonna hook up with my man?”

As Adriana turned around, she saw Flora posturing with both arms crossed in front of her chest. At this moment, she was staring at Adriana with sharp eyes, in which there hidden great hostility.

Apparently, she wasn’t an innocent and simple girl at all.

She was literally a proud lady raised in a privilege family.

As Adriana had expected, Flora was good at disguising herself.

“Miss Henderson, I believe you hold bias against me.” Said Adriana in cold voice. Then she added, “Alvin is just a friend of mine. There is nothing between us but friendship. I suggest you drop your hostility against me.”

Adriana was a bit annoyed when noticing that this girl deemed her a rival at the first time they met each other.

“Really?” Flora still appeared suspicious, “but Alvin doesn’t seem to think so.”

“Oh, really? You’d better keep your eyes on your man…” Adriana replied.

Then she shrugged, “Okay, let’s stop. Would you like to get to the apartment or go with me to get some food in the supermarket?”

“Of course I am gonna go with you. As I said to Alvin just now, I won’t simply change my decision.”

Flora soon dropped her hostility against Adriana. At this moment, she naturally walked over to wrap around Adriana’s arms as if they had been friends for years.

Adriana felt a bit awkward for her sudden move, “That’s who you really are, being a social butterfly to anyone else?”

“Of course not!” she refuted and then smiled at Adriana. At this moment, she appeared totally friendly, “I love to stay with people with pretty face. You look pretty. That’s why you get my favor. Come on, let’s be friends.”

Adriana was rendered speechless by her unusual personality.

She had no idea how to communicate with this special girl.

“But I don’t wanna be your friend in case you accuse me of flirting with your man.”

“Let’s make it a fair rivalry. Both you and I have the right to struggle for his love. If you win, I can quit.”

“Miss Henderson, are you making a proposal or simply just to feel me out?”

While talking to this brilliant girl, Adriana had to stay highly alert.

“Oh, you’re right.” Flora stopped and nodded. Then she turned to smile at Adriana, “Okay, I will do my best to get his heart again! If I fail, he will be yours.”

“Come on, I don’t want it.”

Adriana thought that Flora was actually a scheming girl. However, she seemed to be wrong about it.

But that changed her mind a bit. Now Adriana started to love to talk with this outspoken girl.

“Okay, just forget about Alvin. I just return home today. I really fancy a feast. What dishes can you cook?” while speaking, Flora led her into the grocery section in supermarket. Appetite started to crawl up her stomach.

“What if I tell you I don’t cook?”

Flora was surprised, “I thought Alvin has a crush on you just because you are good at cooking. Well, if you don’t know how to cook, I am sure I will win this rivalry!”

Adriana was speechless again.

After getting what they needed, they went back to the apartment.

As they walked out of the elevator, Flora suddenly suggested, “Adriana, may I live with you?”

“What?” Adriana was stunned.

It had been only half an hour since they knew each other. She was getting so confused about this girl.

“You live in the upper floor of Alvin’s apartment. If I move in, I can keep my eyes on both of you. Besides, I can take this opportunity to get closer to Alvin.” Flora blinked her shining eyes, looking adorable and innocent.

“Why don’t you live with Alvin?”

“Come on, a distance is helpful to build a better relationship.”

“Okay, okay.” Adriana compromised, “well, I am gonna move to another house. You can just move in and pay me the rest of the rent.”

“Oh, really?” Flora looked excited. But then she frowned, “No. It will be boring if you leave…”

Speechless, Adriana knocked on the door.

Soon, Theresa walked over to open it.

She hurried to take over the food, “Oh, I didn’t expect you to get so much food. It’s gonna be a feast tonight.”

While speaking, she smiled at Flora, “You must be Flora, right?”

“Hello.” Flora simply fudged it.

As they entered, the apartment was getting a bit crowded.

“Let me help you.” Alvin stood up and walked into the kitchen.

For the following hours, Alvin was cooking while Flora was busy helping him. Adriana wanted to join in but she got nothing else to do. So she left the kitchen while Theresa was still working inside.

Then she got some coffee for both Edward and Peter, “Mr. Henderson, sorry, that’s all I got at home.”

“That’s fine.” Edward nodded.

“Hey, why don’t you get me a cup of coffee?” Peter frowned, displeased.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Adriana glanced at him, “Do it yourself.”

Honestly speaking, she hated this unexpected guest.
