Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 10

Just a moment ago, all of them had seen Adriana was whispering to Luis after he ran over to her. Thus, Peter assumed that it was Adriana who was instigating Luis to say so.

But Adriana simply responded, “Yeah, Mr. Alston, you are right about it. So could you please learn to discipline your son?”

She let go of Luis’s hand and smiled at this little boy, “Luis, go to your daddy’s.”

Luis looked around them and pouted, looking displeased, “Aunt Adriana, did I do something wrong?”

Theresa walked over to hold his hand, “Luis, come on. Just stay with me.”

“No!” Luis hurried to hide himself behind Adriana with his arms wrapping around her leg, “No! I wanna stay with Aunt Adriana!”

As Peter started getting more and more annoyed, Alvin frowned, “He’s just a kid. Just let him stay with whoever he wants.”

“Yeah, Peter, it’s fine. Adriana is my best friend.” Theresa echoed with an awkward smile.

Obviously, she was speaking for Adriana.

Hearing that, Peter looked at Theresa with gentleness while shaking his head, “Theresa, you are so innocent just like a girl.” While speaking, he glanced at Adriana.

Seeing that, Adriana was rendered annoyed. She couldn’t help gasping for air so as to hold back her anger for the sake of Theresa.

So unreasonable!

“Aunt Adriana, I am hungry…” Luis grabbed her hand to lead her to the seat.

Adriana turned to let out a smile at Alvin to apologize, “Alvin, could you please drive me home after we finish?”

She found it so disgusting when facing Peter.

What a cocky freak!

“Luis, come over here.” Peter beckoned Luis over.

However, Luis shook his head to refuse, “No…I wanna stay with Aunt Adriana…”

While speaking, he buried his head into her arms.

Adriana couldn’t help smiling. She lowered her head and pinched his cute face, “You’re so sweet…”

Luis smiled brightly to reply.

Suddenly, he turned to look at Peter, “Daddy…”

Then he stood up and ran over to Peter. He grabbed Peter’s hand and started pleading, “Daddy, I love to stay with Aunt Adriana. Can you make her my godmother?”

“No!” both Theresa and Peter huffed in unison.

Meanwhile, Theresa seemed to notice the surprised look of Adriana. She explained awkwardly, “Adriana, you are still single. It sounds a bit embarrassing to make you a godmother at this young age…You know, Luis is a kid. He must be kidding.”

“Don’t worry. I know that.” Adriana nodded and smiled.

However, she felt a bit upset.

If she refused to stay away from Luis, Theresa would be upset as well.

But they had been best friends to each other. They should have faith in their friendship.

“No!” Luis huffed while glaring at Peter, “Peter Alston, from now on, you ain’t my daddy! I am staying with Aunt Adriana.”

After that, he turned around to walk to Adriana.

However, before he could take a few more steps forward, Peter grabbed on his collar to lift him up. Then he placed Luis on his lap, “Stop messing around unless…”

Peter suddenly dropped his voice and peeped at Adriana with a displeased look. Then he bent over to whisper, “Stop messing around unless you wanna lose your chance to see her again.”

Actually, if it weren’t because of the fact that Luis had been crying to ask for meeting Adriana again after she left the hospital in the morning, he wouldn’t have taken Luis here for dinner with Adriana.

Before Adriana showed up, Luis had been a sensible kid who had never thrown a tantrum.

Meanwhile, Peter noticed that whenever it came to Adriana, Luis would behave himself as required.

At the thought of that, Peter couldn’t help looking at Adriana. He was surprised to find that Luis actually looked alike her to some degree.

It suddenly occurred to him that the girl four years ago shared the same surname with Adriana.

The truth seemed to be revealed.

As soon as Peter noticed that, he started to have a plan.

Meanwhile, Luis soon shut his mouth when hearing Peter’s words.

But he looked a bit upset.

“Time to take the order.” Alvin uttered to break the ice. He smiled at Adriana, “Lady first.”

“Just make the decision for me. I am fine with any food.” What happened just now had ruined her appetite.

“Aunt Adriana, I love the steak and dessert here…Oh, the lobster also tastes nice.” Though Luis couldn’t sit by her side, he still tried to talk to her.

“What?” Alvin frowned and looked at Adriana, “hey, I remember you also share the same taste with this kid.”

As he just finished, the air seemed to be frozen again.

“Oh, really?” Luis got thrilled when hearing that. He jumped on the ground and rushed over to Adriana, “Aunt Adriana, is that real? You must be my mommy I have been looking for!”

He stared at Adriana expectantly while blinking his shining eyes.

“Luis, stop your nonsense. Adriana is still single.” Alvin hurried to utter.

Hearing that, Luis was rendered upset again. He drawled to reply with disappointment, “Okay…”

Seeing his upset face, Adriana somehow felt a bang of pain deep inside her heart.
