Stop It She's Remarrying by Stellar Strands

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.”

“Sure.” Esme looked at him strangely. Why did she feel like he was thinking of someone else?

Peter walked into his study. He pulled the curtains and made an overseas call.

A gentle woman picked up his call and happily called out, “Brother! You finally called!”

His eyes showed some warmth, which was quite rare. “Did you do anything unhappy lately?”

The person on the other side hesitated and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that I’m a bit busy and tired.”

“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!”
