Chapter 522

Peter pried away Esme’s hand that was around him and slammed the wine glass on the bar counter heavily.

“I have something to do. I’m going up.”

“I told you not to be a doctor, but you didn’t listen.”

“Don’t talk about me! What about you? Why did you give up on being a university lecturer and becoming a zoologist? It has been a long time since you came back and accompanied me and our parents!”
