Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 6

Adriana found that the voice sounded quite familiar.. She frowned and suddenly realized that it must be the son of Peter, Luis Alston!

“Oh my god!” she couldn’t believe that this four-year-old kid could find his way here.

But at a second thought, she noticed that he was the son of her future boss.

“Just bring him in.” Adriana told the front desk lady.

After hanging up the phone, Adriana dialed the number of Theresa.

However, no one answered.

So she made a call to Vivian to tell her to inform Peter.

“Mommy?”

As soon as Adriana finished her call, the door was pushed open. Then the little boy reached out his head and smiled at her sweetly.

“Ms. Hale, here is the boy.” Said the front desk lady.

“Okay. You may get back to work.”

But then Adriana added, “Hey, wait. Bring me some snack.”

While speaking, she handed the front desk lady a hundred bucks.

“Yes, ma’am.”

Luis was wearing a white shirt coupled with bow tie, black suspender trousers and black shoes. He looked like a little gentleman.

His chubby cute face seemed like a masterpiece of God. His round eyes shone like star while blinking. His smile appeared deadly adorable.

“Mommy, I miss you so much!”

Adriana somehow felt so familiar to him as soon as he saw her at the first sight. From his perspective, she smelt like mommy.

Adriana looked a bit awkward. She stood up to hold him into her arms.

When seeing his chubby face, she couldn’t help pinching it gently.

“Luis, your mommy is Theresa. Not me, okay? You can call me Aunt Adriana if you like. But don’t call me mommy. Or your real mommy will be sad.”

Though she learned that Luis was adopted by Peter, nominally speaking, Theresa was still his mom.

Theresa would be sad if she knew that Luis had been calling Adriana mommy.

Luis wrapped around her neck and kissed her on the face.

He smiled and shook his head, “No, Ms. Lindsay is not my mommy!”

Then he stated seriously, “Ms. Lindsay will have a baby with daddy some day in the future. Then the baby can call her mommy. Not me.”

Adriana was speechless.

But she had to admit that Luis was a brilliant kid.

“Luis, how do you know where I work?”

Adriana brought about another topic.

But Luis smiled and beckoned, “Mommy, give me a kiss. Then I will tell you the answer.”

He actually started bargaining.

Looking at his cute face, Adriana was amused. So she replied with a kiss on his face.

“Thank you, mommy!” he smiled and continued, “I heard it from Uncle Jimmy. So I hailed a taxi to get here. Mommy, I am so clever, right?”

Adriana nodded and echoed, “Yeah, what a clever boy!”

Soon, the front desk lady returned with a bag of snack.

Adriana placed the bag on table. Then she sat on the couch with Luis in her arms, “Luis, which one do you want? Chips? Chocolate or lollipop?”

“Hmm…” he looked around and pointed at chocolate bar, “I want chocolate. Mommy, could you unwrap it for me?”

“Okay.“ Adriana took the chocolate and handed it to him after unwrapping it.

Luis took it over and smiled, “Thank you, mommy.”

He took a bite and started chewing. He raised his brows and nodded, “Wow, it tastes good! Daddy is a liar! He told me chocolate tasted awful!”

He murmured while chewing.

Adriana was confused, “Your daddy doesn’t allow you to have chocolate?”

She knew that some parents might come up with some excuses to stop kids from eating too much sweet food.

But it seemed that it was the first time for Luis to taste chocolate.

“Yeah, daddy never allows me to have chocolate!” Luis complained while gulping down the chocolate.

“Hey, take your time.” Adriana smiled when seeing his lips stained with chocolate. She started to clean his lips with tissue.

“Mommy is the best!” Luis couldn’t help giggling. He looked adorable.

Soon, he finished three chocolate bars.

After a few knocks on the door, Vivian entered, “Ms. Hale, Mr. Alston is here.”

“Bring him in.” Said Adriana while fiddling with Luis’s face, “Luis, your daddy is here.”

“Mommy, you sold me out!” Luis pouted, looking displeased.

“Luis!” Peter walked in and glared at him, “How dare you run away!”

“Why are you here?” Luis glanced at him and pouted to reply.

“You…” Peter was irritated. Meanwhile, he was confused. How came Luis suddenly clung to Adriana.

“Mr. Alston, you should be responsible for this. No offense. As his father, how could you simply let him run away?” Adriana cut in.

Hearing that, Peter frowned and glanced at her coldly, “I know you have saved Luis. And you have got what you deserve as return. But it doesn’t mean that you have the right to judge my family issue.”

Peter felt humiliated whenever being lectured, even if by the one who saved his son.

“Judge your family issue?” Adriana refuted, “Mr. Alston, don’t be mistaken. I don’t mean to judge. But you should keep your eyes on your son. Even a loser will never blame it on a kid.”

Adriana was getting annoyed by his arrogance.

His son suddenly dropped by and disrupted her while she was working. She spent a few hours with his son but only to get blamed as soon as he arrived.

What a cocky guy!
