Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 203

"O Theresa, it's you girl who has a heart."

The two went upstairs together.

The two kids looked at me and me at you, then shrugged their shoulders and continued to eat with their heads down.

A bit of 'a heart to read sage books two ears do not hear outside the window' meaning.

Adriana slowly put down her chopsticks, "Peter, I think it's better for me to leave with Helen. Here, it's not suitable for us."

"Mommy, I don't want to~"

Before she could finish her sentence, Helen and Luis immediately burst into tears.

"Oooh ...... Mommy, don't you go, okay?" Luis put down his chopsticks, slipped out of his chair, walked up to her and hugged her waist, "Mommy, I don't want you to go."

"Mommy, I ...... want to be with my brother."

Helen's eyes were heavy with tears and she spoke pitifully.

Adriana's heart seized up, sandwiched between two children, indescribable heartache.

"If ...... you don't want to see her with Sloane, I'll let them go. Or, we leave."

Peter put down his chopsticks and held her hand, "Girl, with you and Helen, this is the real family. Not to mention me, for so many years, Luis has been without a mommy, the lack of motherly love has made him very cold in nature, and only in front of you is he this lively."

"Yes mommy, will you not leave?Luis misses you so much."

Luis' tears instantly came to his eyes and melted Adriana's heart straight away.

She sat there, in a dilemma, left and right.

In fact, she was trying to put on a show in front of Peter, and she wasn't going to leave because she couldn't get the papers.

But now it's just a show, Luis and Helen are sad like this, she really doesn't know how to continue on the road in the future.

"Okay, okay, good boy, Mommy is with you, with you.

Adriana wrapped her arms around Luis, and Helen ran over to her, her heart aching beyond words as she wrapped her arms around her two children.

Peter's gaze was deep as he gazed at the three mothers and sons, and the gloomy look between his brows could not be brushed away.

"Let's eat first." He said.

At the command, the two children did go back to their seats and continued eating.

Instead, Adriana said, "Your mother and Sloane haven't eaten yet, so I'll bring them some up."

"No need, they ......"

"It's okay."

Without waiting for Peter Hua to speak, Adriana already got up and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, the maids re-prepared some more dishes.

Adriana came upstairs with a tray carrying two dishes and rice.

In fact, she has no intention to stay with Peter, everything is just forced, so, more than want to destroy Peter's current life.

and his relationship with his mother and sister.

Knock Knock-

On the third floor, outside Mrs. Alston's bedroom, she knocked on the door.

"Come in. You little bastard, you still know to care about me? I thought you only had that little goblin in mind."

With Mrs. Alston's permission, Adriana walked in. And Mrs. Alston's words stopped abruptly, staring at him in surprise, "Why you? Get out!"

"Auntie, I know you don't like me. But precisely because you don't like me, there is even less need to be angry with yourself because of me, wouldn't that be unprofitable?"

Adriana put the meal on the bedside table, "Health is the essence of the revolution, auntie better eat something."

"Hypocrisy!"

Theresa takes Mrs. Alston's hand and glances at Adriana, mockingly.

"Theresa is right, I think you're just a weasel giving a chicken a bad name. Go, go, go, serve the food out, I don't want to eat."

Mrs. Alston was lying on the bed, covered with a thin sheet, all but angry.

It was full of hostility towards Adriana.

"I'll put the dishes here. But, auntie, it's better for you to eat some, if you are really hungry, it can be very painful."

After saying that, Adriana turned around and left.

Theresa's eyes flashed with a little cold light and scolded: "Auntie told you to take the food away, didn't you hear? The sight of you makes her sick to her stomach. Do you think she would want to eat what you brought over? Who knows if you've put anything in it."

"That's it. Get your stuff out of here now!" Mrs. Alston scolded.

Adriana's hand hanging at her side tightened and she walked out without looking back.

Bang-la-

The porcelain shattered behind them.

When I looked back, the food spilled on the floor, spilling hot stains all over and soiling the whole house.

Adriana sighed and did not say anything, but instead stepped forward, squatted down, and gathered the glass and the spilled meal on the floor onto the tray with her bare hands.

"Sycophantic, what are you pretending to be? You think that if you act virtuous in front of me, I will accept you? Don't think I don't know your little mind. Just because you're Luis and Helen's mother, you want to become a phoenix. As long as I'm here, you'd better give up that idea."

Mrs. Alston was assertive.

Theresa saw Adriana's pitiful and tolerant look, and the corners of her lips lifted in a smug smile.

"What's going on?"

At that moment, Peter came upstairs at the sound of voices and went to the door to see Adriana squatting on the floor to clean up the garbage.

"Adri, get up, you can let the maids do these things." He was a little distressed by Adriana.

It was so easy to get her to stay on her side, but I didn't expect Mom and Sloane to come over so quickly.

"It's okay, it's packed."

Adriana picked up the last fragment of the plate, who knew that her fingertips unbelievably rubbed on the crumbs of the accompanying porcelain and cut a bloody mark.

"Hiss."

She winced backwards, and it hurt a little.

Lifting his finger, crimson blood had emerged from it.

"Are you okay?"

Peter immediately went over and took her hand, "I have said that these have maids will be fine, you are not listening."

Seeing her finger tip that wound, Peter drew out his pocket handkerchief to wrap it, "Go, follow me down. "

"It's okay, what a fuss, what a big deal."

Adriana couldn't help but see his nervous look.

It is just a small wound, not enough, she is in a poor family, since she has suffered a lot of crime, this small scrape, do not care.

"Hum, you are really good at acting. A little glass crumb can cut your hand, acting really like it. Only Peter the boy will be fooled by you."

Mrs. Alston already has a prejudice against Adriana, so that now when she sees her hurt, she feels that it is pretentious and deliberately put on a show for Peter.

"Yes Adri. what rough work you did not do when you were a child, after washing and sweeping the floor, living like a servant, but I have not seen you so pretentious ah."

Theresa adds to the sarcasm.

"Shut up!"

As her words fell, Peter's sharp eyes shot straight over and nailed Theresa hard.

It was as if a sharp dagger had been stabbed into her chest, and it hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

"Peter, for Adriana, you ...... you actually yelled at me?" Her eyes were red with aggression, and tears instantly came out.

Adriana, somewhat disgusted by the situation, withdrew her hand from Peter's grasp, "I'm really fine."

Crouching down, he picked up the tray, turned around and left.
