My dear lawyer

Chapter 412 The First Lost Battle

Vivian came out, but she didn’t go into his car as he had expected. Instead, she walked towards her car

and went into it under William’s serious gaze.

William sneered and got off the car.

She didn’t realize that the door was unlocked after a tall figure sat next to her.

“Get out!” Vivian glared at him.

William sneered, “This is my car, if I remember correctly!”

“Well, I will get out!” Vivian reached her hands for the safe belt as she heard it.

William stopped her immediately.

“William, what do you want?” asked Vivian, trying to push him sway.

William grunted because of pain. Although his voice was hardly audible, Vivian noticed it.

She hit his wound.

The madness in her eyes faded as she turned calm. She gave him a nudge. “Let go of me!”

Seeing her calming down, William loosened his grip.

“Drive!” The word came out of his mouth like he was spitting out ice dregs. It sounded like a command. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vivian bite her lips and started the car.

“William, what the hell are you thinking? If you want a child, there are numerous women who are willing

to do it with you. Why do you want to take Roe away from me? I only want Roe. Can you just take him

as my payment for accompanying you for four years?”

Vivian wept regretfully.

William looked at her pale face, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. But he said none of them.

“Vivian, you can’t get advantages twice with only one payment. Don’t forget the reason you used to get

that five million.” His words pierced her heart like needles.

Vivian gritted, “Do you mean that if I give the five million to you, you won’t try to take Roe’s custody

from me?”

“Impossible!” His word broke her hope. “It’s too late now!”

“You...” Vivian was trying hard to ease her anger. “Well, if you want to do it this way, I don’t mind filing a

lawsuit. I know you are good this. But, William, there will always be someone who is better. You will

have your first failure.”

“Really? I’m looking forward to it. I hope you will get the result you want!” William sneered.

Vivian almost pierced her lower lip when she found her threat so vain.

This man nearly gave her a mental break-down.

“I’ll take Roe with me tonight.” Vivian said.

William laughed and said nothing.

Vivian didn’t know what he was thinking.

He didn’t care or he was just laughing at her silliness?

Before she could figure it out, they arrived at the entrance of the mansion. When the car stopped at the

gate for inspection, William got out, leaving Vivian behind with her madness.

His mother was having lunch when they entered.

Vivian promised to make her lunch in the morning. It seemed that she went back to her words.

The anger on Vivian’s face ebbed slightly.

No matter what happened between her and William, the elders should not be influenced.

“You two went out for a date? That’s what the youngsters should do.” She jested as she looked at

Vivian. Then she fed Roe with a spoon of shelled shrimps.

Vivian diffident and tried to explain, “We weren’t...”

“There’s no need to be shy. I have also gone through this. I can totally understand. Whenever you two

want to go out, you can just tell me. I will take care of Roe.” She didn’t let Vivian finish. But she

sounded really happy.

As if the two were truly dating.

Roe cast a glance at Vivian, thinking of the same thing because of his grandmother.

Roe snickered, a hint of ridicule flashing in his eyes.

Vivian stopped trying to explain when she saw it.

She realized that William’s mother was doing it for Roe.

As she had expected, Roe went for a nap after the lunch.

Then William’s mother summoned her son and Vivian.

One looked aloof while the other was trying hard to hide the displeasure.

William’s mother looked stern, unlike the affable woman she was in the morning.

“I don’t care what problem you two have to fix with quarrel. I only have one requirement: deal with it

outside and don’t let Roe see you two like that. I don’t want my grandson to have any mental illness

when he grows up.” She stared at the two coldly. Clearly she was not satisfied with what happened

today.

She had not expected that the couple would start a quarrel when she started living in this house. She

found it very disrespectful.

She could even imagine how devastated her grandson had been since he was living in such a family.

But he seemed uninfluenced.

What a poor boy he was

Vivian felt guilty, thinking that she ignored Roe’s feelings.

“I’m sorry. I will be more careful then.”

William sneered, “Careful? You are going to start a lawsuit for Roe’s custody. You think you can hide

this from him?”

Vivian’s face paled.

William’s mother raised her eyebrow and looked at Vivian in surprise.

She had not expected that they were still quarreling.

Then she started thinking about other things.

However, when she thought that her grandson had been missing his mom so much, her voice became

slightly mild when she spoke. “Vivian, it’s normal to have quarrels between couples. Why do you want

to start a lawsuit? It’s not good.”

Vivian braced herself and shook her head, “Ma’am, you misunderstood. We are not lovers and it’s not

just a quarrel. Roe’s birth is an accident and his custody will be given to one of us sooner or later. It’s

not good for him if it is delayed. He’s a good boy and he will accept it if I explain it to him.”

“Nonsense!” William’s mother said hotly.

Startled, Vivian was quivering.

“You are irresponsible to your child. You should stop acting things like that since you have given birth to

him. I thought you two were getting along well. Why do you have to think about all this nonsense?

Anyway, you won’t have my consent. No one can take my grandson away from me and my grandson

needs a mother!” William seemed irritated. Then she went upstairs with one hand covering her

forehead.

William walked up to Vivian and said, “Vivian, how capable of you! I haven’t seen my mom being so

angry for so many years.”

Vivian looked up at him, “So what? William, you have to figure out a way. You want me to do nothing

while you are going to marry Angie, who is a total danger to Roe?”

“When did I say that I’m going to marry her?” William argued.
