My dear lawyer

Chapter 417 Forced Marriage

“In fact, William has an intimate girlfriend, and I also have a fiancée. William did not know the existence

of Roe before. We both live in peace and have our own happiness. It is unnecessary to make a scene

over an earlier incident.” The corner of Vivian’s mouth moved slightly and what she said was half-truth.

Mrs. Lucia frowned. Out of respect, she did not investigate what happened between Vivian and William.

But she didn’t believe what Vivian said.

She knew her son best. How could he break up with his girlfriend for a love affair many years ago, and

beg to be responsible for it?

It was impossible that William did not love Vivian at all.

Mrs. Lucia said, “If this is the case, how come your fiancée not mind the existence of Roe or your

past?”

"We have already negotiated these things, and he likes Roe very much.” She said evasively.

In fact, there was always a vague feeling in her heart that aside from emotional factors, she had little

sense of security, no matter what kind of commitment John, her fiancée, made. She did not know why.

She always felt very insecure with her future husband.

Mrs. Lucia frowned, softened her tone and said, “Vivian, you are too young to know men. How can a

man not mind that his woman having a child with someone else? He would feel uncomfortable even if

he doesn’t show it in front of you.”

“Well...” she wanted to say that she believed John, but with some thoughts in her mind, she failed to

say that.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lucia said, “How about that? If you really care about Joe and don’t want to disappoint

your fiancée, just let Joe stay in my family. Whenever you want to see Joe, just tell us. Neither William

nor the rest people in my family would mind that.

Mrs. Lucia said out resolutely and thought this idea was a good one.

It was difficult to persuade William’s grandfather to accept her idea. But whether he wanted it or not,

Roe was William’s son.

He may not approve of Vivian as William’s wife, but he would certainly accept Roe as William’s son.

Since it was the case, why not satisfying her wish?

Vivian, with her face turned pale, said, “Roe grew up with me, and he would never leave me. If you

want grandchildren, I’m sure you will have a lot in the future.

“I don’t care about future, Roe is the only one now!” Mrs. Lucia said with a straight face.

Vivian shook her head and said emotionally, “I know you love Roe, but William and I cannot give Roe a

complete family. I don’t want Roe to have a stepmother who regards him as a thorn in the eyes. You

are also a woman, so you can understand me, don’t you?”

“Vivian, why can’t we give Roe a complete family? Are you forcing me to marry you by saying these

things to my mother behind my back?”

William’s voice sounded ghastly from behind, which made Vivian startled. She touched the corner of

her eye with her fingertips and wiped away the teardrops furtively.

Mrs. Lucia quietly breathed a sigh of relief when William came over.

But after she felt a little relaxed, a cold voice of her son sounded, “I said I would not give up the custody

of Roe. If you really want it, you can resort to law, rather than looking for sympathy here. Of course, if

you admit that you are trying to force me to marry you, maybe I can think about it.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, William!” Mrs. Lucia stared at her son and said.

She suddenly felt as if she knew the reason why his son had been single.

Speaking in this way would definitely make him single for a lifelong.

Vivian pursed her lips and said with a quiver, “I get it.”

She knew very well what kind of person William was.

How could she believe that such a person would take his mother’s advice?

“Well, I’ll leave with Roe tonight and wait for your court summons.” Vivian looked up at William firmly

and decisively.

William felt very unhappy at that moment, and his hesitation disappeared.

It seemed she would not give up until the last minute.

Did this woman really think she had a chance in life to escape from his clutches?

William squinted at Vivian and said, “Roe must stay here. It doesn’t matter for you to make trouble

without reason, but Roe is in poor health now. I can’t tolerate my son taking risks with you outside.”

“William, don’t forget that the custody of Roe is still in my hands. If you insist on not letting Roe go with

me, I can sue you for illegal detention and kidnapping!” Vivian’s eyes were wide open, and her heart

was pounding.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

William chuckled with a hint of mockery, “Are you talking about the law in front of me?”

Vivian was choked and disgraced herself by talking about laws in front of a lawyer.

“Either you get married with others or go through legal procedure; I will just say that you are always

welcome. But you cannot take Roe out of here today.” William looked at Vivian with a strong sense of

confidence.

His words made Vivian feel ashamed and sentimental.

Facing his absolute strength, she really did not know how to win the battle.

Vivian looked a little embarrassed, but the unwillingness hidden in her heart and the persistence to Roe

forced her to look up at him.

“William, do you have to force me into this position? What did I ever do to you?” Vivian said, with

sorrow in her eyes and her face was pale.

William’s throat moved slightly and he felt regret at that moment, but this kind of feeling flashed away at

once.

When he thought of that aggressive man who wanted to take Vivian away from him, of Angie, and of

this poor woman, he felt awkward and finally became heartless to her.

William sneered and said, “I force you? Aren’t you forcing me? It is your own fault to have born Roe

without my permission. Why should you pretend to be pitiful in front of me?”

Vivian’s face lost its color.

William felt too bad and tried his best to restrain himself from taking Vivian in his arms.

Mrs. Lucia frowned and couldn’t stand it anymore.

She rebuked them in a low voice, “That’s enough. Roe will come downstairs for dinner later. I am

unwilling to interfere with your problems, but I require you to restrain yourselves in front of Roe.”

Vivian turned her head slightly to calm down.

When she turned her head, she saw a little boy, dressed like a noble childe, was standing not far away.

He wore a pair of suspenders and his hair was well-combed as side parting. His face, hidden in the

shadows, was indistinct.

Vivian felt painful when she saw the boy.

“Roe,” she came forward and held the little boy in her arms.

Moving his lips down, Roe leaned dependently on Vivian’s shoulders and rubbed his small face against

her chest. What a pitiful boy.

William wanted to comfort Roe, but he stepped back and moved his eyes away from Roe.

He was afraid that he could not help stepping forward and holding both of them in his arms.

Mrs. Lucia looked at him annoyingly, as if saying, “Look at what you did!”
