My dear lawyer

Roe hugged Vivian's shoulders with a look of grievance on his small face. Mrs. Lucia was distressed by this expression and hurried over to her grandson.

"Roe, your mom and dad are joking, and don't take it to heart. Today I asked the chef to cook a lot of delicious food, come and have a look." Mrs. Lucia reached out her hand and tried to take Roe out of Vivian's arms. Roe dodged to prevent Mrs. Lucia from touching him, which made her feel awkward.

Vivian sniffled and said, "Sorry, he may be under the weather."

Mrs. Lucia sighed and straightened up her back, looking angrily at William.

William felt annoyed, but he couldn't do anything. He felt himself like a bully as he watched Roe and Vivian cuddling together.

With a cold face, William coughed and said, "Well, let's not talk about these things. Roe, stop hugging your mom, and come over for dinner."

William's words made Roe angry. "I don't want to have dinner. I want to go home with mom." Roe poked his head out of his mother's shoulders and said seriously.

Mrs. Lucia was startled when she heard this and said hurriedly, "Roe, this is your home. Isn't it good to live here?"

Roe shook his head and said, "This is not my home. I want to go back to my mom's home."

There were only two of them in that home. Although it was not as big as here, Vivian would not feel sad or cry. She would cook delicious food and tell stories for Roe. Roe liked that kind of life. Mrs. Lucia had no idea at that moment.

She looked at William for help as if saying that Roe should never be allowed to leave here.

William frowned and turned to look at Vivian with superiority, and said, "If you really value Roy's personal safety, you should not take him out of here."

Both Mrs. Lucia and Vivian were shocked by his words.

Personal safety?

Vivian's face turned pale and asked, "William, what do you mean? Is Roe's personal safety threatened? Could it be?"

Angie?

That was her first thought.

William said seriously, "Do you remember what happened in the hospital?"

His question didn't make any sense. How could she forget that in such a short time?

Vivian's face took on a ghastly expression and all the things she had deliberately ignored came to her mind.

"You mean the perpetrator who took Roe from the hospital hasn't been caught yet? But you told me it was all done, didn't you?"

The thought that Roe was still being watched all the time and could be taken away at any moment made Vivian unable to think seriously.

William looked serious and decided to tell her everything.

"The perpetrator was caught, but then got away with the help of his network of relationships. Otherwise, why would I not let Roe stay in the hospital with such good medical conditions but come to such a secluded place?" William said with a sneer. Biting her lips, Vivian thought, was Roe really in danger?

She couldn't figure out how did Roe, the little boy, stood in the way of these people and became a thorn in their eyes?

"William, it is all your fault. Under such a circumstance, you still have confidence to say that Roe is not in any danger with you, don't you? With Angie before and kidnappers then, how can I trust you and let Roe stay by your side?" she complained dejectedly. She felt so scared and exhausted.

William sneered, not taking it seriously.

"At least I can guarantee his safety, even if there is potential danger around him, can you? Vivian, I have many enemies. I don't know how many people know the fact that Roe is my son. Are you sure that you can stop those people from hurting Roe?" William emphasized the word "fact", which made Vivian's face even paler.

That was right. William's occupation had made himself many enemies. Can she really get rid of Roe?

Seeing this, William suddenly smiled and said, "Vivian, you keep saying that you want to get the custody of Roe. What is your real intention? To protect him, or to satisfy your own selfish desires? I doubt it now."

Vivian suddenly opened her eyes wide and replied, "What the hell are you talking about?"

She considered Roe more important than her own life. Therefore, William can doubt anything, except her sincerity to Roe.

William smiled contemptuously and knew Vivian was angry.

Before Vivian spoke out a word, Roe suddenly frowned and said, "Do not make mischief between us. It is in vain. I believe in my mom."

After saying that, Roe looked at William with contempt immediately, as if he was a bad guy who deliberately split them.

"In short, I hope you seriously consider whether this place or your humble house is good for Roe!" William said coldly.

Vivian fell into a dilemma again.

Mrs. Lucia took Vivian by the hand and said earnestly, "Vivian, I know you have a lot of scruples, but why can't you live a good life with William for the sake of Roe? His words might not sound pleasant, but he really cares about you and Roe." Vivian raised her mouth slightly and did not reply.

The reason why William still had affection for Vivian was that Roe was their son. He loved Angie much more than her. Vivian disdained to contend for his love with Angie. Maybe she had already learned that it was futile to do so. Vivian shook her head and said nothing.

Suddenly, the mobile phone rang. Vivian glanced at it, and it was John calling.

When William saw the name on the phone, he did not say a word but can't help shuddering.

Vivian hung up the phone, stood up and said, "Roe can be with you temporarily, but you must ensure that he will not be harmed in any way. Otherwise, I would let you take responsibility for the rest of your life."

William raised his chin and didn't care about what she said.

He wished to have connections with her for the rest of his life.

Vivian helped Roe for dinner. Roe looked at his mom all the time with an unhappy expression. His eyes were filled with reluctance and expectation.

Vivian was upset, too.

"I am sorry, Roe. It's too dangerous outside now. I know you want to be with mom, but right now you have to stay here until mom comes to pick you up. Is that Okay?" Vivian tried to speak softly to Roe. Roe nodded obediently and asked with some grievance, "Mom, will you really come to pick me up?"

Vivian touched his head and replied, "Sure, and it will be soon."

At first, Vivian was scared by what William said.

As the son of William, Roe was very likely to be in danger. So, it was safe for Roe to stay with William. Vivian agreed with it.

But after thinking about it carefully, she felt something wrong.

Roe could have nothing to do with William.0000000☐☐☐☐☐
