Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 11

Somehow, she felt as if she were looking at her own daughter.

It struck her with the idea that Helen bore a resemblance to the child.

More precisely, they looked like two peas in a pod.

All of a sudden, she got up from her seat.

“Adri? Are you alright?”

Noticing her eccentricity, Alvin caught hold of her wrist and asked caringly.

Peter and Theresa also became conscious of her odd behavior, both turning towards her.

“Would you excuse me for a minute? I ... I’ve got a stomachache.”

She bowed slightly and apologetically, “You guys order first. I’ll be right back.”

Leaving the private dining room in a hurry, Adriana went straight to the washbasin in the restroom, where she tried to keep her sanity by splashing some cold water on her face.

The more she thought about it, the more distracted she was.

Could it be that Luis was her child?

Back then in Waverly, she gave birth to a boy, which was supposed to be the same age as Luis now.

Let alone his looks—strikingly similar to Helen's.

She had sensed the resemblance the first time she saw Luis, but she didn't pay much attention then. Now that she thought about it, she felt completely stunned.

“Adri? What's the matter?”

Someone popped up from behind abruptly.

Theresa asked again with concern, “You all right? You know Peter, he ... he’s just like that. Don’t mind him.”

“It's OK.”

Looking at Theresa, Adriana couldn't help but frown and sigh, “What about you?

Are you absolutely positive that Peter is the right one? I know he has a strong family background. But you're supposed to marry someone who loves you, so that he will care for you.”

Based on her observation of Peter in the past two days, she found him a man with many character flaws, who wasn't good enough for Theresa.

Hearing those words, Theresa looked a bit irritated with her pupils constricting, “Why would you say things like that? I think there’s been a misunderstanding ... between you and Peter? What kind of a person do you think he is?”

“Tessa. You deserve someone that treats you so much better. You don't have to rush your decision. Just deliberate on this for some more time, will you? If he’s not worth it, I’m sure there’ll be many other options for you.”

Anyway, Adriana just thought that Theresa was too good for Peter.

She’s such a nice and sweet girl, and a jerk like Peter is definitely no match for her!

“Ha, Peter has been good to me.”

Theresa took her hand and said gravely, “Adri, don't ever say things like that again. Peter and I are engaged, and we are meant to be together.”

Even if he doesn’t love her, she’s bound to be Mrs. Alston.

Since Theresa put it this way, Adriana felt like it was not her place to say anything more, “OK, as long as you’re happy, that's all that matters.”

Everyone has the right to make choices, and she understood perfectly what Theresa meant.

However she was still nervous about the possibility of Luis being the child she gave birth to through a surrogate.

If he really was, it must be kept strictly confidential to Theresa.

She thought to herself.

“Alright then, you’d better go back now. I really need to use the bathroom.”
