My dear lawyer

Vivian suddenly rushed out and stood between William and John, who were about to fight with their fists raised. Seeing her coming, both men simultaneously took back their fists. "What are you doing?" William said coldly with his eyes dimmed.

"That's what I should ask. Why are you guys fighting here early in the morning?" Vivian, half crying, said in a tearful tone with red eyes.

William grunted and looked askance at John, which seemed to mean that he didn't do it first.

John calmed himself down and lowered his eyes so that others could not see his expression.

But Vivian noticed the bruises on his face, which were seemingly more severe than that of William's.

"John, are you OK?" Vivian's expression changed and stepped forward to grasp John with a worried expression on her face.

William's face turned gloomy instantly. The chill came out from his flesh and a glimmer of malevolence crossed his eyes, like a falcon. William was pretty pissed off by Vivian's care and affection toward John. "Do you care about me?" John shook his head and raised his eyes.

John wondered whether Vivian cared about his health and his feelings.

Vivian and John looked at each other off guard. At that moment, Vivian saw the pain in his eyes.

She saw his fragility, hopelessness, anger, and sadness.

"John..." Vivian could not bear to see him like this and hold on to him. She really regretted leaving John's home impulsively yesterday.

John caught her hand tightlyas if it were the last straw, leaving no margin.

"Vivian, tell me. Do you care for me?" John looked at her with a pair of intimidating eyes, eager to seek an answer.

He did not want to think about why Vivian left last night, what she had done with William, and whether she still loved William dearly in her heart. He just wanted to know whether his long, hard efforts were worth nothing in her heart. Vivian never denied his importance in her life.

So John and William, who had been watching them, heard her answer.

"John, I care about you and I never want to see you hurt, otherwise I will be very sad!" Vivian said solemnly and earnestly.

William's heart fell to the bottom.

He even doubted for a moment whether Vivian's love for him for so long was as pure as she said.

John smiled.

Her answer, though not the one he was most satisfied with and looking forward to, had enabled him to win around in front of William. More importantly, it proved that his decision was worthwhile. James covered his own mouth and stared at this scene with widened eyes. At this moment, he had a lot to complain about in his heart.

"Isn't she his future sister-in-law?"

"Just run away?"

"And William is still watching us without taking any other action?"

"Stupid!"

"John, let's deal with your wound. It's really serious." Vivian held his arm with a worried expression.

John's face was already full of wounds. If he was not recognized at the beginning, maybe Vivian could not guarantee to recognize him this time.

John shook his head, held Vivian's hand tightly, and said gently, "Vivian, let's go home."

Vivian froze with her hand paused.

Go Home?

That was unfamiliar and distant words for her.

She had to think these words over at this critical moment.

With John's expecting eyes, Vivian could hardly say no.

William managed to restrain his anger, but he could no longer contain himself when he heard what John had said.

"Vivian, Roe is waiting for you!" William said coldly.

It was a real headache for Vivian.

These two men nearly drove her crazy!

Stubbornly, John looked at her like a child, with dependence, expectation, and persistence that people could not understand.

Normally, in order to hold his identity and to show his generosity, he would never compete with a child at this time. When it came to Roe, he would let Vivian give priority to Roe and take care of him first. But this time, he wouldn't!

"Vivian..." John held Vivian's hand tightly, which became the most dazzling scene in William's eyes, hurting his heart.

Vivian slightly compressed her lips and turned to William, "William, tell Roe I will see him next time..."

"Humph!"William snorted obscurely and gave her a mocking look.

Vivian blushed with shame instantly.

She was the one who always said she loved Roe, but now she was the one who left Roe behind for the sake of John. Not to mention William, even she was ashamed of herself.

But John was seemingly not like his usual self today.

And she could imagine how John spent the night searching for her, but she stayed with William last night.

Thinking about it, Vivian felt that she was a bitch. She felt sorry about John.

Despite the fact that she didn't love him, John was indeed an important man in her life.

He helped her a lot and accompanied her through tough times. Without him, Roe would not have escaped death again and again, and she wouldn't have been here now, shouting in front of William.

In short, she owed him too much.

Vivian thought it over and made her decision. She looked at John firmly and said solemnly to William, "Sorry, please tell Roe that I have something urgent to do, so I leave first!"

William's face suddenly is covered by dark clouds, and his eyes flashed across John with a dangerous sullen look, "Vivian, are you sure? Are you going to give up the son you love so much just for this man?" His tone gave the feeling that a typhoon full of wind and rain was coming soon.

Vivian struggled to say, "I'm not giving up Roe, I just..."

"Do not quibble! It's hard to believe that a man's word can change your thought about compensating Roe. Vivian, your hypocritical affectation really makes me sick!" William abused her without hesitation and looked straight at Vivian with his sharp eyes, which seemed to discern her inmost thoughts.

Vivian's face turned pale.

John's hold on her hand tightened.

Vivian was wavering, but the strength at her hand hardened her heart.

"I'm sorry!" Vivian left the last word and pulled John forward.

William stood there like a statue without looking back. His face was taut with anger, which made people shudder. It seemed that the weather was about to change, and a storm was approaching. "Vivian, how dare you!" William said coldly through gritted teeth.00
