Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 172

If there are special circumstances, she will call ahead to inform the teacher.

With Peter's previous experience, Adriana was really worried that Peter would take Helen away again when she wasn't looking.

The morning flew by with full concentration on the work at hand in the office.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon, but Adriana still had two more urgent cases in her hands, so she had to work late at the office.

After being busy for a while, the phone rang.

She didn't even look at the phone and answered it directly, "Who is it?"

"Adri, it's me."

The familiar voice could not be clearer.

Adriana looked up and subconsciously frowned, "Theresa, what is it?"

Last night, Theresa had already called her about what had happened between her and Peter.

She wants to help Theresa, but her heart is not in it.

Peter's heart is not in Theresa's body now and he has no emotion for Theresa, even if he gets married, he will not be happy.

As Peter says, marrying Theresa is a sign of irresponsibility because he doesn't like her.

Married, but also just a heavy shackle, each other will not be happy.

"I'm outside, come out here for a minute, I want to talk to you."

Theresa said.

Adriana looked up, looked sideways, and when she did, she saw Theresa standing in the doorway.

The two looked at each other from a distance, looking at each other with a complicated expression, and she said, "Good."

Hang up the phone, close the file, get up and walk out.

Following Theresa, the two walked to stand at the entrance of the stairway.

This place is unoccupied, not easy to be noticed, there is no fear of being heard if you say anything.

"What's the matter, you tell me."

Walking to the stairway, Adriana initiated the conversation.

From the time they returned home to the present, the two have experienced a lot, and the emotions between them have long been less close than they were at the beginning.

Naturally, there is more rustiness and coldness.

Theresa stood by the steps, her back to Adriana, looking out through the one window at the top of the stairs, and sighed ruefully, "Look at that pair of little birds out there, chirping and chattering, living so happily."

Adriana looked out the window, and sure enough, a pair of birds were playing and chasing each other in mid-air, so happy.

"If you don't put too many strings and shackles on yourself, you'll be just as relaxed and comfortable."

People, the reason why they feel tired, because there are too many pursuits and unsatisfied, immersed in a variety of desires, difficult to meet, naturally feel tired.

Theresa was silent for a moment.

And then, turning around, a pair of eyes containing bitterness looked at her.

Just a few seconds of looking at each other, Adriana will see a layer of dense fog in her eyes, hazy eyes, adding a little sadness and poignancy.

"Am I asking too much? I, Theresa, have only loved Peter all my life, and I would give up everything for him, isn't that right?"

She raised her hand to cover her chest, and as the words fell, tears came out of her eyes.

"It's certainly true that you love someone, but Peter doesn't love you."

Adriana said directly.

"Oh, yeah, Peter doesn't love me."

Theresa suddenly smiled indifferently, the dense breath in her pupils dispersed, replaced by a clear and sarcastic, "So, you want to tell me that he loves you?"

Adriana looked at her blankly and didn't know how to answer Theresa's question.

She spoke straight and perhaps broke Theresa's glassy heart at that moment, but it was for her own good.

"Didn't you tell me you'd give us your blessing? Would support us to be together? Now why are you saying that again. Or is it that from the very beginning back home, you have been using lust as a means to attract Peter's attention?"

Theresa chattered on and on.

Adriana's eyes are full of incredulity, and then the side of the lips raised a curve, hanging head self-deprecating smile, "If you think so, so be it."

With a deep sigh, she didn't even want to say anything to explain.

Raising his eyes, the pair of clear eyes like crystal balls immersed in water contained a hint of indifference and asked, "Is there anything else, if not I'll go to work."

Do not want to continue to tangle with her.

Adriana feels that if she continues to talk to Theresa about Peter, it will only add to the conflict.

Seeing her turn and leave, Theresa grabbed her hand, "Adri, don't you go!"

"I really have something to discuss with you."

Theresa emotional, step in front of her blocked her way, choked: "Sorry, I just emotionally a little excited. But ...... I really love Peter very much, he is my everything, as if life."

Stunned, he shook his head, "I really can't live without him."

Adriana looked down at her clenched hands and felt a little detachment in her heart.

Stepping back, he withdrew his right hand and kept this distance from her, "Theresa, as I said, I don't want to take care of things between you and I can't do anything about it. I'm not Peter, I can't give you what you want, so don't come to me with your affairs in the future."

"No, you can give!!!"

Her tone was suddenly aggravated and her decibel was raised with a roar.

A pair of good-looking eyes stared straight at Adriana and the two stared at each other for a few seconds.

Theresa's agitation gradually eased before she continued, "Peter doesn't want to be with me really because I don't have a uterus and can't give him children, do you know that?"

"How is that possible? Although I quite hate Peter, I think, he is not this kind of person."

A word from the heart.

"You don't believe me?"

Theresa asked rhetorically.

Adriana was silent and did not make any response.

"Okay, you don't believe me do you."

She nodded, then pulled out a recorder from her pants pocket and put it up in front of her, "Listen to it for yourself to know if what I'm saying is true."

The recorder was turned on, played and Theresa's voice came from inside ......

"Peter, why exactly? Aren't things fine between us, why are we suddenly breaking up?"

"Theresa, I'm sorry I tried to be with you and really couldn't do it."

"Ummmmmmmm ...... Why is that? Even if it's a breakup, you have to give me a reasonable reason."

Theresa was crying her heart out.

"Because ...... a woman who cannot bear children is not a complete person.The Alston family, needs heirs, and if I have no descendants, how can I secure my place in The Alston family?"

A familiar voice came from the recorder, a slightly angry low growl, yet it could be heard as Peter.

"But ......Luis isn't your biological child either, is he?"

"It is because Luis is not my biological child that I need my Peter's child even more. Do you understand?"

......

The conversation between the two listened to the words, Adriana two curved eyebrows slightly wrinkled hardly ever stretch.

This is extremely trusting Peter, but at this moment after listening to the recording of the two of them to know that Peter is not as responsible and responsible as he has shown.

"Adri, do you believe me now?"

Theresa wept, raised her hand face, turned to face the window aggrieved wipe tears, "from the moment of engagement with him, I thought I married love, but now I know ...... can not have children after all can not have children, I am not a complete woman, replaced by who will not accept me. Adri, what do you think I should do ah?"
