My dear lawyer

Chapter 383 Stepfather

"William!" Vivian starred at him and hinted him to stop talking.

John was so nice to her that even if they couldn't be together, the last person she wanted to hurt was

him.

William pretended to know nothing and said in a cold sneer, "Isn't it right? What's your opinion, Mr.

He?"

"You…" Vivian was about to get angry.

John held Vivian's hands, his mild face filled with smile and there was no sign of anger, as if what

happened just now was an illusion.

William looked into Vivian's wrist and narrowed his eyes.

John blinked, "William, no one can deny that Roe is indeed you child by blood. However, you should

know that raising a child is much more important than giving life to a child. You can never compare with

his mother in terms of this."

"John, I have never said Vivian means nothing to Roe." William alarmed while narrowing his eyes

unhappily.

John smiled, "Of course. But you always emphasize you're Roe's father in law. Vivian is going to get

married with me and Roe will be our son. Don't you think your behavior is inappropriate? Or do you

think the court will give up a complete family and sentence Roe to you?"

"John…" Vivian turned around to John. She had never seen John behaved like this.

William didn't mean this.

However, what John said was like she was going to grab Roe from William.

And about their marriage…

Vivian turned to look at William.

As expected, his face was darkened.

Suddenly, William glanced at Roe, who looked sad. William raised his mouth slightly and smiled.

William thought, “What John said was nonsense. He simply not resigned to his warning yesterday.

However, his son was on his side.

"John, you're too confident. Even if Vivian marries you, you're just Roe's stepfather. You're not in

charge of Roe's affairs. Besides, I have made a deal with Vivian. If you can marry her, I will definitely

bless you!" William’s voice was arrogant and his eyes were full of confidence and pride.

John looked towards Vivian immediately.

Vivian paled.

Thinking of her commitment with William, she couldn't say anything.

But William was a lawyer. After getting along with him for four years, Vivian knew him better than

anyone else.

She couldn't go to court to get Roe's custody. Besides, she didn't know how much Roe’s illness would

cost. She couldn't rely on John to pay Roe's bill, as it was not fair for him.

Most importantly, she should consider Roe’s feelings.

Thinking of that, Vivian looked towards Roe's bed.

Roe was listening to them quietly, with a pair of dark eyes as William's and half opened his mouth in

sadness. Vivian knew well about her son and could tell from his expression that he was not happy.

Vivian took a deep breath and answered, "I'm sorry, John. I will discuss with William about Roe. And Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

William, I know I can't out argue you over Roe's problem. But don’t intrigue in my own business and we

won't interfere with yours!"

William hummed, smiling sarcastically.

What a stubborn and mean woman!

Vivian was too soft-hearted to accept the slightest kindness from others, and she would treat them with

all her heart.

If William didn't know how Vivian had suffered during these years, he would treat her as a lady of easy

virtue.

"Do you mean I should congratulate you on becoming the hostess in the He Family." William said

unpleasantly.

Hearing William's ironic tone, Vivian was angry.

Was she so nasty in William's heart?

She could not compare with Angie. And now, William even doubted her morality.

Was she the woman who strived for power by unscrupulous means as he thought?

"William, if you come here just to say these words, then you're not welcomed in the room. Roe is going

to take a rest. Please leave." John looked at Vivian's sad face in distress. He threatened William before

Vivian talked.

For an instant William was regretful. He didn't mean this. However, seeing Vivian smiled gratefully for

John, he was too angry to explain this further.

William looked at them coldly and left without turning his head around.

When he walked to the door, he said, "Vivian, I will wait for Roe to be discharged."

Vivian's mood fell into the bottom of the valley.

That meant Roe would leave her and lived with John when he was discharged from the hospital.

Even though they had already made a one-year agreement, Vivian still didn’t want to leave Roe.

Roe only had her and his grandmother.

And she loved Roe so much. It was hard for them to finally be together. Why should they be separated

because of William? Vivian was tangled.

"Mom, why is dad waiting for me to be discharged? Will you abandon me?" Roe said suddenly.

Roe looked at Vivian while wrapping his head with the white quilt adorably. He kept staring at Vivian

aggrievedly with his round eyes, which hided his disturbance deep inside.

Vivian embraced her son in her arms, "No. Remember, Roe. You mean everything to me and I will

never leave you. Mom is afraid that you will abandon me and choose your dad."

"No, I won't. Don't worry, mom. I will not go to visit dad if you don't like him. And I will call him…Uncle

William instead of dad." Roe was anxious. He raised his hands and promised to Vivian.

Although he wanted to live with both his mom and dad, if he must pick one between them, he would still

choose to live with his mom.

His dad was nothing compared to his mom.

Vivian held Roe tightly in her arms. The rim of her eyes gradually went wet.

She was certain that Roe would still choose her after a year.

She was confident.

"Roe. Just remember that mom loves you the most no matter what happens. You will choose to live

with me in the future. Okay?" Vivian kissed him on the face with red eyes.

Roe seemed confused. He wanted to ask what would happen.

However, seeing her mother's expression, he didn't ask anything.

He nodded firmly.

Vivian smiled with satisfaction.

Then, she tucked Roe onto bed.
