Chapter 350 Hot Porridge
William reminded himself that Roe was his son and he shouldn't be mad at him.
"Don't you like me, Roe?"
Roe titled his head and answered, "I like dad. But I think mom would be more willing to be with uncle John."
"Just relax. Her willingness doesn't count." William said calmly. It was impossible for Vivian to marry John. Besides, John was very busy these days. And he also got pressure from the He Family and his mother's obstruction. Therefore, we could ignore the possibility of this thing.
Seeing his dad's confident expression, Roe turned his black eyes around. Doesn't dad want to do some bad things? He answered, "Dad, uncle John is a good guy."
"I know. William glanced at Roe and nodded. He knew that John was taking care of Vivian and her son. Therefore, he wouldn't do anything to harm John.
That was returning the favor to Vivian.
"Are you still with that bad aunt?" Roe felt obliged to ask this for his mom.
A flicker of unhappiness passed over William's eyes. He admitted that Angie was bad and vicious. But he felt it wasn't good for Roe to say this. He changed the topic and asked, "Have you started to go to school?" "Yes, I have. But I seldom go to school." Roe was disappointed when talking about school. He liked to play with his friends, however, his body didn't allow him to. He could only stay at home alone.
William knew he had to leave a good impression on Roe if he wanted to please Vivian. Although he was Roe's dad, it still took time to make Roe trust him and like him.
"If you get better, daddy will take you to school and you can play with your friends."
"But what about mom?" Roe wanted to go to school but he could not leave his mother. He was in a dilemma.
William pretended to be calm and answered, "If she wants, we can take you to school together."
Well, better for them to live to together, William thought.
"Well, I cannot decide." Roe said innocently. He couldn't make a decision for his mom.
If Vivian didn't want to lose her child, she must agree his request.
Speak of the devil and he is sure to appear.
Vivian came in with two bowls of porridge. She ignored William and said, "Roe, you can have porridge later."
Seeing his mom's porridges and his father's poker face, Roe answered awkwardly, "Mom, I cannot finish it all. It's too much for me."
"Well, what a pity. I can help you with the rest." Vivian continued to untie the plastic bag.
Roe acted on his own and said, "We can't waste food. Are you hungry, dad?"
William glanced at Vivian, who was pretending to hear nothing. He smiled and answered calmly. "Yes, I am."
In fact, Vivian knew what was the appetite of Roe. He couldn't finish eating all of it. However, he thought of the scene of William's bleeding legs and bought two bowls of porridge unexpectedly.
She couldn't change her mind after paying the money. Hence, she didn't say anything when Roe told her to spare the other porridge to William.
She put the porridge on the table beside the sofa and said, "Help yourselves."
"Mom, it's not convenient for dad to reach." Roe said in a low voice.
Vivian glanced at William's wheelchair and curled her lips unhappily. What a trouble! Although she thought this in her mind, she still helped to push William there.
When Vivian pretended to be unwilling to do this, William ignored her bad attitude and enjoyed her service for granted; he replied casually, "This way, please."
"..." Vivian almost choked. She really wished to push this shameless man out of the window. But she could only comfort herself that she couldn't lift this wheelchair and William's injury was caused by her. Well, she wouldn't haggle over every ounce with him.
After helping William, Vivian didn't say anything but turned around to sit on Roe's bed. She was so gentle and kind when facing her son.
William was angry about this. He looked at his steaming porridge and turned to look at Vivian, who was carefully feeding her son. What a difference!
"Roe, be careful. Is it hot? If it's too hot, mom will help you to cool it down."
"Don't be hurry. There's still a lot left."
"See. There's a grain on your face."
Vivian's eyes were full of maternal love, soft and careful. She blew up every spoon of porridge and tested its temperature herself before feeding it to Roe.
Roe was enjoying her mother's love while looking at his dad with sympathy.
Well, if I had known it would come to this, I would have done things differently. William could only be jealous. But Roe was happy with this. It seemed that Mom loved him the most. After having one third of the porridge, Roe was already full, "Mom, I'm full."
"Okay." Vivian was happy to see Roe finally full.
Sometimes we couldn't act hastily.
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw William's porridge remained untouched. She frowned unhappily as she walked to the table to eat it.
William took her good will for ill intent. She shouldn't make an unnecessary move. He didn't care about what she bought.
Seeing Vivian's eyes, the man who had been holding a sulking breath in his heart didn't know if he was angry or for some other reason. He said sulkily, "The porridge is just too hot."
