Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 37

“It’s okay. I just arrived. What do you want for drink?” Theresa raised her head to look at Adriana. However, it suddenly occurred to her that she was having an affair with Peter. At the thought of that, anger started to crawl up her mind.

But still, she forced out a fake smile.

Adriana took a seat opposite her. Then she beckoned a waiter over, “A cup of tea, please.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Replied the waiter.

Adriana put away her bag and rested her hands on table. The air somehow felt a bit awkward.

“Theresa, what are you doing during these days? It had been days since we met last time.” Adriana took the initiative to utter.

“It has been days, huh?” while speaking, Theresa flipped her hair backward casually while stirring the coffee. A trace of disgust flashed across her eyes.

Adriana, what a liar!

‘You must be watching in the closet while I was quarreling with Peter yesterday!’ Theresa thought to herself.

“But we have met the day before yesterday, haven’t we?”

Adriana smiled awkwardly to reply, “I had been abroad for so many years. We should spend more time talking with each other.”

“I’d love to. But you have been busy ever since you returned. It makes no difference from the days when you were working abroad.”

Theresa sighed and continued, “Are you gonna stay or go back to LA in the future?”

If her answer was that she would go back to LA, Theresa would be still willing to view her as a friend. However, if she chose to stay, Theresa would decide to start conspiring against her.

Though she knew that Adriana was actually the one Peter would like to marry at that time, it was still because of Adriana that Theresa had turned infertile—at least that was what she believed.

So from her perspective, her marriage with Peter should be deemed as a return for her suffering.

“Of course I am gonna go back to LA. After living there for all these years, I have been accustomed to the lifestyle in LA. But I won’t leave for the time being. Not yet.”

Now her priority was that she had to finish the case involving Peter as soon as possible. Besides, she must claim justice for that innocent girl and her brother.

While speaking, the waiter brought her a cup of tea.

“Why? What holds you back?” Theresa suddenly sat up straight and fixed her eyes on her. Obviously, she was anxious to know the reason.

Adriana soon noticed her anxiety. But she couldn’t figure out what accounted for it.

However, there was one thing she was sure about—Theresa was keeping something from her.

“Theresa, actually, I am here to tell you something.” Adriana took a sip of tea while speaking seriously.

“What is it all about?”
