My dear lawyer

Chapter 384 Do You Mind?



"Mom, I don't want to sleep now. I want to watch TV." Seeing Vivian was going to get him to sleep, Roe pulled her by the sleeve immediately.

Roe knew his mother would leave when he fell asleep, but he loved the feeling when his mother was around.

Vivian saw through Roe's mind and rubbed his little head. She promised, "Don't worry. I will not leave. I will just stay here and accompany you. So have a rest after watching TV. Ok?" "Yes" Roe nodded and let her mom open the TV for him. He finally got happy.

Vivian and John were sitting together on the sofa beside the window.

Once William left, Vivian noticed that he wanted to tell her something.

Once John settled, he asked Vivian immediately, "Vivi, what's the deal that William is talking about? Do you really want to give Roe to him?"

John knew how important Roe was to Vivian. He would never believe in William's words.

Vivian shook her head with a wry smile, "No. It's just a deal. I still get Roe's custody, but I want to give him a chance."

Of course, doing this might put herself in danger of losing Roe.

William was in good financial condition. She knew Roe was attached to her because he was still an innocent child. But what if he changed his mind after getting along with William for a year?

She couldn't imagine how to live without Roe.

"What do you mean?" John was a little confused and asked.

Vivian hesitated for a while and told him William's condition.

John wrinkled. Vivian may not figure it out. However, as a man, he knew well about what William thought.

His real intension was to force Vivian to be with him by taking away Roe.

John would never let William take away Vivian again.

John answered, "Vivian. You're deceived."

"What?" Vivian dazed.

"I mean Willian fooled you. William is competent. His wealth, social position and even profession give him more of a legal advantage to fight with you for Roe's custody, but that doesn't mean he'll win the lawsuit." John hided his thought and looked straight at Vivian. Vivian was moved by his firm look, as she trusted him whole-heartedly. She wrinkled and said, "I know what you mean. A complete family is more important than anything, but..."

"There is no 'but'. I have told you that if you agree, we could get married immediately. I will treat Roe as my own son and make you happy. And William can't take Roe away from you." John interpreted her and answered in a firm tone.

John's mind was in turmoil when saying this. He held his hands tightly and was afraid to hear Vivian's answer.

Finally, John watched Vivian shaking her head slowly, but firmly.

"John, I can't marry you just for the sake of Roe. It's unfair to you and irresponsible to Roe. Besides, you have already helped me a lot with Roe's illness, and I can't owe you anymore. John, I just can't pay back" Vivian bit her lip nervously. The last one she wouldn't want to hurt was John, while the one she felt most sorry about was him.

She tried to make her love John, but she couldn't fool herself. She still thought about William deep in her heart, even though William hurt her so much and she had paid such a price.

John answered impulsively, "Then you can compensate me with the rest of your life. Vivi, you always know what I want."

John held Vivian's shoulders. He hadn't slept for a while last night, but now he felt he was a loser.

Compared with William's provocative act, he cared more about Vivian's attitude.

Vivian struggled and couldn't get rid of John's hands. She wrinkled and said with a sorry look, "John. I'm so sorry."

Seeing Vivian's eyes, full of guilty but no love, John finally calm herself down.

Did he shout at Vivian just now? No, he must lose his mind.

"Sorry, I am just too anxious." John rubbed his face.

He shouldn't force her at this point.

Vivian shook her head. She would feel better if John gave full vent to his anger.

"No. It's my fault."

"Vivi. I don't care what you're worried about. But I will never change my mind. William told you he would take Roe away for a year, but do you think you can really trust him? Besides, even if he loves Roe, what about Angie? Do you want Angie to be Roe's stepmother and treat him badly?" John calmed down and responded.

Although William threatened Vivian with Roe, with the existence of Angie, John still got chance to win Vivian's heart.

Vivian hesitated as expected.

She worried about what John said.

She trusted William and believed he wouldn't hurt Roe. After all, Roe was his son. What about Angie?

Angie hated her and Roe. She tried to frame Roe several times and put him in danger. Did she really want to let William take Roe away and stay with Angie?

"Vivian, just think again. You know clearly the nature of William. I want to take care of both you and Roe. I want to give you a home and wish you could give me this chance." John looked at Vivian again.

Vivian rubbed her eyebrows, her mind was messy.

"Sorry, John. I need time to consider it." She could decide things as she wanted, but she couldn't ignore the safety of Roe, which was the most important thing.

John smiled, knowing Vivian wanted to compromise, got up and nodded, "Ok. I'll wait for your good news. I am ready anytime. I still have things to do today, and I am leaving first. I will come over to see you Roe later." Vivian was absent-minded and nodded.

John didn't care about this, as he needed to prepare the way ahead for her.

He had to convince his parents to accept Vivian.

After saying goodbye to Roe, John grabbed the garbage bag on the table and went out.00000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
