My dear lawyer

Chapter 297 Attitude of John’s Mother

Vivian was careful. After making sure that Roe didn’t cough anymore, she sat back. When she read his

guilt on his face, her heart suddenly hurt. She stroked his cheeks and comforted gently, “Roe, you need

to remember that mommy love you the most.” Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Mommy...” Roe muttered. His body was too weak. It was already the limit for him to say so many

words after waking up. His eyelids were drooping.

Of course, Vivian knew he was sleepy. She laid his head on the pillow carefully, pulled up the sheet,

and said, “Roe, you take a rest. I promise I won’t leave. When you wake up, you’ll see mommy.”

“OK.” Roe glanced at Vivian, reluctant to sleep. But he still closed his eyes obediently.

Vivian didn’t leave. She lay on her side to accompany Roe, her smooth hands stroking his scattered

hair. Smelling her, Roe felt cozy and warm and fell asleep gradually.

One week flew. It was time to return home

Concerned about Roe’s health, John even hired one of the doctors who did the operation to go back

with them. If there was an emergency, the doctor would be a great help.

Knowing that, Vivian was moved and more determined to marry John.

However, things didn’t go on so smoothly. John’s parents were opposed to the engagement when they

knew their future daughter-in-law, abandoned by her parents, was not from a decent family with only an

elderly grandmother.

Later, since their son was in his 30s and hated to be pressured to get married, they were afraid that he

was gay. So, as long as the candidate was a lady with a blameless record, they would agree to the

marriage.

However, they heard that the woman from a poor family had a son. So they fiercely opposed the

engagement.

John had a gentle and easy-going personality. But as for his relationship, he was stubborn. His mother

was too annoyed to eat for a few days but surrendered in the end.

“You’re Vivian.”

“Miss Reina, I’m Vivian. I’m glad to meet you.” Vivian looked at the noble and elegant woman and knew

his mother didn’t like her. For the sake of John, she greeted Vivian reluctantly.

Of course, she didn’t like Vivian. Based on her current condition, even an ordinary family wouldn’t

accept the engagement, let alone this high-class one. They cared about dignity more.

But if John insisted, she wouldn’t give up so easily. Otherwise, she was failing him.

Reina flickered over Vivian and looked away. She was indeed a beautiful girl. Unfortunately, she got

married once and had a son. That was unacceptable.

“You know whether I’m glad or not. Nowadays, young girls don’t understand what love is. Only one

false move, their whole life collapses. It won’t be so simple...”

“Mom!” Hearing his mother’s accusation against Vivian, John furrowed slightly with anger and reminded

her emphatically, “It’s the first time Vivi comes to our home. Don’t scare her. She’s your future

daughter-in-law.”

“Alas, I did it for your own good.” Hearing her obedient son’s offensive words, Reina felt annoyed

inwardly and disliked Vivian more.

Before she married John, Vivian had already caused a disagreement between the mother and son.

What if they got married? Probably, she would dominate the family!

Vivian wasn’t a fool. Of course, she understood Reina’s subtext. Her first visit pushed John into a

dilemma, which wasn’t her intention. She gently pulled John, who was about to argue.

Vivian shook her head and suggested him to stop defending. What he was about to say would make

things worse.

John also understood. But he hated to see her suffer a little. He did promise to protect her for all his

life. But now, his parents were opposed to the engagement.

“Miss Reina, it’s indeed my fault. I should have visited you earlier. Our engagement is hasty. We still

need your help.”

Her humble words were somewhat pleasing to the ear. Reina softened her position slightly. As long as

the engagement was postponed, there must be a chance to cancel it. She must try every means.

She would never let this woman become her family member. “Save the chitchat. Alright, I’ll help you.

It’s okay to delay your engagement for a few days, right?”

“No.”

“Yes.”

Of course, “No” came from John. Vivi finally agreed to marry him. He yearned to tell the whole world

right now. He had already shown respect for them by not being engaged in advance.

Vivian didn’t want to ruin John’s relationship with his mother. It wasn’t a big deal to wait for several

more days.

Reina definitely chose Vivian’s answer and said with a false amicable look, “Deal.”

She paused and then said to John suddenly, “Oh, John, by the way, your dad will come home tonight.

Remember to eat at home. You went abroad for about half a month. We thought you wouldn’t come

back.”

Reina only talked to John, excluding Vivian on purpose. It was a deliberate attempt to get her back off.

Her palm was pinched suddenly, and Vivian stared at John blankly and understood his meanings from

his eyes.

Her heart was full of warmth.

“Mom, I can eat at home. But is it appropriate not to invite my fiancée?” John was forcing his mother to

accept her identity.

Reina scowled slightly. But it was her son who offended her. She wasn’t willing to be mad at him. But it

was impossible for her to accept Vivian.

She seemed to recall something suddenly and said with a smile, “John, I forgot it. Your dad won’t go

home tonight. Shall we have dinner another time? We should book a hotel, invite Miss Vivian’s parents,

and have a formal meeting. What do you think?”

“In this case, I won’t eat at home tonight. Vivi, let’s go.” John, of course, knew his mother was still

reluctant to accept the engagement.

However, he had made up his mind: no one could change him.

“John, you are leaving? John...” Reina just watched John leave with Vivian. She was furious, but there

was nothing she could do about it.

Walking out of his home, Vivian couldn’t help asking, “John, is it really a good idea for us to just leave?”
