Wife is a Lawyer

Chapter 142 - Not even menstruation

A set of temporarily new clothes was placed on the bed.

She didn't pretend to make a show of it, changed her clothes and left straight away.

Returned home and called the minister, Nelson Dean, to take a leave of absence.

A few days later, she received a call from Vivian, and it turned out that everything was fine with Vivian

and there was no doubt.

Coupled with Brenda's state in her home, Adriana's suspicions about her are gradually dispelled.

Brenda is very quiet, never bothered her, will also do her laundry and cooking, is a very diligent girl,

should not ask a question never ask a word.

The quiet days passed quickly, and more than a month gradually passed.

This day, when she ate early in the morning, she felt nauseous, and went straight to the bathroom, a

crazy vomiting.

"Ms. Hale, you ...... aren't pregnant, are you? For the past few days, you've been nauseous and

vomiting."

Brenda asked with concern.

It was this concern that alerted Adriana, like a thunderclap, and scared her out of her wits.

Yes, it seems that she has not had her period until now.

"No, what are you talking about. I ate something cold recently, and my gastroenteritis is coming on."

She pulled a random excuse and left in a hurry.

After working honestly all morning at the public Old Mr. Grant, Adriana was restless, with Brenda's

words echoing in her head and some trepidation.

If that's the case, we're screwed.

"Adriana, there's someone outside looking for you."

Just as Adriana froze, someone came up to her and tapped her on the shoulder, startling her.

"Huh? Oh, good, good."

Adriana nodded, got up and walked out.

Who would be looking for her at this time?

When she walked out of the office, she realized that the person standing outside the office corridor was

Brenden.

"What are you doing here?"

When she saw Brenden, she didn't look good and frowned in question.

Brenden was wearing a black shirt casual pants, shirt sleeves pulled up to the elbow, holding a bouquet

of flowers in his arms, leaning lazily against the railing, but looked elegant gentleman. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

"So angry, who pissed you off?" He walked up and handed her the roses.

Adriana took a step back and distanced herself from Brenden, "It's just an act, why do you have to do

it? There's no one else around."

She may be willing to pretend with Brenden in front of people, but now that there is no one around, she

naturally doesn't have to bother acting with him.

"What are you talking about, Adri, we're going to be married, you're not going to end up like that, are

you?"

His tone is gentle, with some dude's evil unrestrained, as if really dumped by Adriana seems to be, the

aggrieved look makes people can not bear to look at it.

"Brenden, what do you mean? When we first said that it was just a show, you don't take it seriously, do

you?"

Having this thought made Adriana feel very horrible.

"True ......"

"Uncle, what are you doing here?"

Before Brenden could finish a sentence, Hayley suddenly appeared.

At that moment, Adriana frowned, feeling that she had come at a rather bad time, otherwise she could

have heard Brenden's real thoughts.

"Hayley."

Brenden smiled wickedly at Hayley, releasing a hundred thousand volts of electric eyes and teasing the

girl in public.

But Hayley is averse to this.

At once, a small face a burst of scarlet, shy hands out to cover the cheeks, a small daughter's shy

posture, eyes bubbling red heart.

Adriana disdainfully skimmed, really can't look at it, so reached out and took the flowers from Brenden's

arms, "Hayley, Brenden wants to send you flowers, you're here, he just happened to send you."

Shoving the flowers directly into Hayley's arms, "He's just here to see you, you guys talk."

I found an excuse and went straight into the office.

With Brenden, really do not want to stay with him for a minute, thinking about all the things he has done

before, it feels like this kind of people are really sinister and scary outrageous.

Back at work, Adriana is focused on her work.

Bang--

Suddenly a person kicked her hard on the table, scaring Adriana shuddered and immediately looked

up, only to find that the person standing in front of her was Hayley.

"Hayley, what are you doing?"

She growled without a good word.

"Adriana, what do you mean, sincerely? The flowers are for you, and you're shoving them at me just to

make me look bad."

She slammed the flowers on Adriana's desk and yelled, "It's just Uncle proposing to you, what's the big

deal, you really think you're going to marry into The Alston family and that's something?"

"Did Brenden really propose to Adriana?"

"Adriana is also too shameless, is not just someone send her flowers, deliberately show off."

"Plastic flower sisters, ah, I heard that Hayley's mother is Adriana's adoptive mother, how come this

Adriana has no gratitude at all?"

"How can this kind of scum survive in the world? It deserves to go to the eighteenth level of hell."

......

One wave has not yet subsided and another wave has started.

For Adriana, all the people in the entire legal department did not like her.

Inexplicably disliked, Adriana do not know what they have done wrong, but the only thing is clear, that

is to provoke Brenden and Peter, two devils, she wants to live a clean life can not help.

"Who told you that? Don't talk nonsense!"

Adriana thought to herself that she must have given the flowers to Hayley, and Brenden must have had

a bad attitude and made her look bad, which is why Hayley was so angry.

She got up, walked to the corner of the office, and threw the flowers directly into the trash can.

At that moment, a colleague who had gone out to pour tea came in, "Adriana, there is someone outside

looking for you."

"Oh."

Adriana responded and walked out of the office to find Brenden still standing outside.

Then I got a little annoyed, "What do you want to do? The factory on the outskirts of the city is so idle,

and you don't even have a job?"

Brenden shrugged, "In all honesty, is that the attitude I have when I'm busy with business and make

time for you?"

He smiled ploddingly and spoke with some helplessness, as if Adriana was the heartless woman who

had abandoned him.

Adriana can't help a blank stare, "In front of outsiders, I can make a show with you, but now it's just you

and me, and continue to act, don't you think some ...... redundant?!"

"Tsk ...... look at your Scarlett cat nature, it's so hard to get a hold of you." He raised his hand and

pinched her face, and Adriana subconsciously took a step back.

However, before one could pull away from Brenden, Brenden wrapped an arm around her waist,

leaned down close to her ear and whispered, "Don't move, Peter's coming."

As expected, once heard Peter came, Adriana's body stiffened and immediately stood still.

The man's long, bony fingers rubbed gently on her cheek, "The Alston family is having a family dinner

tonight, and Dad said to send you over."

"Tonight?"

Adriana was very resistant inside and did not want to attend the family dinner at all.

That would mean she would have to meet with Brenden, Peter, and Theresa, and that scene is

embarrassing just to think about.
