Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 26

“Mark your words and don’t break your promise again,” he said coldly, shutting the door after he entered the bathroom.

Adriana got up and put on some brand-new clothes that were placed on the desk.

She brushed her hair with her fingers and straightened her clothes to make sure she didn’t look like a mess. Then she walked up to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door, “Tessa, you’re here?”

“Adri, what took you so long to open the door?” Theresa stuck out her head and peeped into the room by the door, “are you all alone?”

“Yeah, I’m alone.”

Adriana smiled and asked, “Where were you? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”

Back when she fell into the water, Theresa was the one who brought her to this room. But after she went out of the bathroom, she hadn’t seen her since.

It was natural for her to have some doubts.

“I…I bumped into someone I know.” It had been hours since the incident happened and it was already 11 o’clock.

Theresa thought what should happen must have happened already.

“By the way, did you see Alvin?” Theresa asks tentatively.

Adriana’s eyes darkened and then she shook her head, “No...I didn’t see him. When can we leave?”

“I’m not sure yet. You should ask Alvin. The ship has left the open sea, so if you're in a hurry you can get back early by boat.”

Theresa frowned confusedly, “You really didn’t see Alvin?”

That was odd. If Adriana never saw Alvin, who gave her the antidote?

Adriana shook her head again.

“Why are we still standing by the door? Let’s talk inside,” Theresa pushed Adriana into the room, “you’re all alone by yourself all this time?”

She acted like she was curious as she asked her.

Adriana nodded and looked a bit restless. She couldn’t help peeking at the bathroom in the bedroom from time to time, afraid that Theresa might find something.

“Tessa, let’s hang out. I saw that some people are having fun out there today,” Adriana couldn’t take the heat anymore and was terrified that Theresa might find out something so she held Theresa’s arm and was about to take her out.

“Wait...”

Theresa struggled out of her hand and frowned as she looked at her, “Why do you look so nervous? Are you hiding something from me? Or someone?”

As she was talking, she had already entered the bedroom. She looked around and didn’t discover anything. Finally, she started walking towards the bathroom.

The suite was simply furnished and she could see everything from one look. So it was obvious that the bathroom was the only place that could hide someone.

Adriana looked quite anxious. Was that person in the bathroom right now?

“Hiding someone from you? No…of course not,” Adriana smiled awkwardly, “Tessa, what are you talking about? There’s only me in this room.”

Facing her bestie’s interrogation, Adriana was almost scared to death and her heart was pounding so loud that it was about to pop out of her throat.

Seeing that she was approaching the bathroom, Adriana walked past her quickly and stopped her right there, “Tessa, stop it. How is it possible that I can hide someone here? You know I don’t even have a boyfriend and I’m still waiting for you to introduce one to me. There are so many people out there today and you should take me down there so that I can meet someone. That’s the real deal.”

Knock knock.

Just as Theresa was about to enter the bathroom and see for herself, somebody knocked on the door again.

“Who’s here?” Adriana looked at Theresa, hoping that could distract her somehow.

“I don’t know either.”
