Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 167

"Luis's arrival is a long story."

Peter didn't know how to go about it with Theresa.

But Theresa spoke up, looking at him with red eyes, "It's a surrogate, isn't it? I want to know, who is that woman?"

She trailed off.

"This matter has been kept secret from anyone, even Luis' own mother doesn't know about his existence. So there is even less need for you to know about the man's existence."

Although Peter now knows the person, who it is.

But right now, he doesn't want to tell Theresa.

"Then why did you lie to me in the first place? So what if it's your child, I love you, why would I care so much?"

She placed her hands on the couch and clasped her hands tightly against it, not to mention how angry she was.

"So, what's the point of asking these questions again?"

Peter's cold face was covered with gloom, "Theresa, you should know that I hate it when people investigate me. You, don't be provoking my bottom line."

The man got up, walked to his desk and continued to bury his head in his office.

For her crying pearly, pitiful, but without a trace of heartache.

Theresa felt his coldness and disdain and looked up at the ceiling in despair, letting the tears slide down her cheeks and over her neck, finally soaking her lapel.

"I just care about you too much."

Women are like this, like a person can be humble to the dust, but more often than not in exchange for a man's lack of understanding.

Theresa did not think that Peter would understand her, but simply hoped that Peter would feel the love that she had for him.

But what Theresa doesn't know is that this love, for Peter, is really heavy and burdensome.

"It's office hours, so if you don't have the heart to work properly, then turn around and tell the HR department that you don't have to come over."

She sobbed and choked, crying enough to move people, but Peter didn't care.

Even the tone of voice muzzle is so cold.

She got up, walked up to Peter, snatched the document from his hand in a fit of anger, and said angrily: "Peter, what am I in your heart? You're the one who engaged me, and you're the one who treated me coldly? You were the one who provoked me in the first place! Why do you have to be so selfish? What have I done to you?"

From the time we met until now, her heart for Peter has never changed, loving him to the bone.

But the man simply did not understand her feelings and did not give her a lot of pampering.

Not even, a third as much as Adriana!

How could she not be angry and jealous?

Peter was surprised by her shrewish behavior for a moment.

And then slowly hung his head, closed the signature pen in his hand, held the cup on the table, took a sip of water, and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Sit down."

He didn't want to argue with Theresa. There are some things that arguing won't solve.

Now that there are problems with Theresa, it won't do to just run away.

Theresa stood motionless while he walked up, took her hand, and pulled her to the couch and sat down.

The man sat across from her and saw her crying like a tearful person, so he pulled out some tissues and handed them to her, "Crying and crying won't solve any problems. Tears, sometimes very worthless, women, should love themselves."

He spoke in a calm tone.

Theresa only felt a little bit of his compassion in this moment.

Stopped crying instantly.

"Peter, I like you. I just want to spend a good life with you, I can't ignore the past, I don't even care about anything, as long as you turn around and we spend the rest of our lives well, okay? Don't you think I can't have children? I have now found a suitable uterus, as long as I have a uterus transplant and repair for two years, I can almost get pregnant and have a child. By then, we will have our own children and be just as happy and contented a family, OK?"

With that, she went to Peter's side, took his arm, and gazed at him with deep and loving eyes.

The eyes, interspersed with some humble pleading, seemed to hope that Peter would give them more opportunities between them.

Peter propped his elbows on his knees, raised his eyes and lifted his hair on his forehead, tugging at his tie with some annoyance.

"Theresa, there's something I can talk to you about today."

Before, have not thought about how to say to Theresa, since today has come to this point, some words have to be said.

The seriousness of the look made Theresa's heart give a hint of a bad feeling.

She wondered to herself if she had pushed Peter too hard.

Immediately shook his head, "Peter, I'm tired and I want to go back. I want to go back."

With that, she got up and tried to leave.

Peter took her hand, "Come on, there's something I'm going to spread out and say to you today."

The man's words were full of a commanding tone, and his sullen face made Theresa a little afraid.

She stood there, mute for a few seconds, and eventually sat down across from him.

The restrained hands are nowhere to rub, knead, nervous heart banging straight, not even dare to look Peter in the eye.

"Do you know why I got engaged to you in the first place?"

He said.

This one sentence has sealed Theresa's mind.

She pretended to know nothing and shook her head, "I don't know. But, it must be because you love me."

"Remember the necklace around your neck? Once, you saved me, and I promised you that one day when I found you, I would take you as my wife. But so many years have passed and there are too many variables. You and I, we really don't fit, and even if we got married, it would be a sign of irresponsibility. I will delay you for the rest of your life."

Affection is the foundation of marriage, and a marriage without affection does not last.

As it is now, the two cannot be of one mind at all.

Not to mention that he already has a place in his heart for Adriana and wants to accommodate a Theresa, his love less lovely, can't do it.

"Peter, what are you talking about? I like you, you like me. It will only be better if we get married, that's what makes you responsible. We are already engaged, if we cancel the engagement now, how will you let me meet people in the future? I love you as you are, and I will not marry anyone else but you in this life."

Theresa's determination was firm and her steely gaze was fixed straight on Peter.

That means as if to say again, if you really want to cancel the engagement with me, I will die to you.

That's how she bully Peter a few days ago.

Peter frowned and felt the pressure of listening to her words.

"Theresa, calm down. I told you that the person I like is Adri, even if, she doesn't love me. But I already have her in my heart, and to be with you is to delay you, to be cruel to myself and even more irresponsible to you."

He had tried to keep Adriana away, so as to restore peace to his restless heart.

Before that, he told himself for a time that love was absurd, that those young people who belonged only to the young and the young were not for him.

He, who never deserves to talk about love. The love of a child.

Because, once there is love, it will be a kind of weakness, handle, will delay him.
