Chapter 424 Cool and reserved
"Roe, don't be sad, it's all my fault. Please believe me, I will come over there and pick you up soon. Very soon, mom promised you," said Vivian soothingly. "Really?" said Roe, he still felt a little blue, so he couldn't take any interest in what Vivian said.
Vivian nodded, feeling a little sad, "Has mom ever lied to you?"
That was true, thought Roe.
Although his mother did not have time to accompany him, she would do whatever she promised him.
Roe nodded, and said in a baby voice, "Mom, then you just come over soon."
"Mom promised!" said Vivian.
Suddenly a sneer came from the video screen.
Vivian frowned and looked over, and saw Roe turning around, and then the screen rotated.
Following that, William's face appeared on the screen.
"Dad, can you give me my phone back?" came a little unhappy voice of Roe, but Vivian couldn't see the other end of the phone.
She only heard William say, "Grandma baked cookies and was waiting for you. Come over there. Dad has something to talk to your mom." Vivian's heart leapt, and thought of the subpoena she received this morning.
Therefore, she said to Roe," Roe, be a good boy. Listen to your father, and go to your Grandma. Mom has something to tell your dad."
"Okay. Mom, don't forget what you promised." said Roe loudly towards Vivian when he left.
Roe's words made Vivian's feelings dance.
Although William had a huge manor and a lot of wealth, it seemed that he still couldn't keep Roe's heart, humph!
After watching Roe reluctantly leave, William sat on the sofa fascinatingly and calmly, holding the phone and said, "How was it? Are you in a good mood in the early morning?"
Vivian always felt that she could hear the deep malice in his words.
"Fortunately, I didn't trust you before. Have you made up your mind to compete for Roe with me?" said Vivian to William, her teeth gritted.
William laughed, and pretended that he didn't mean it, "For god's sake, that was a gift that I let my men make for you overnight. Don't you want to cut ties with me as soon as possible, so you could get married? I just gave you what you are asking for!" "Nonsense, you didn't own the court. William, I think you are just a wild ambition man, and you have been setting up for me and waiting to see me walk into it!" Vivian yelled.
William laughed.
He did not deny that he had some thoughts, but to describe it as a wild ambition, it would think too highly of him.
"Anyway, this is what you want, isn't it? I give you the opportunity, so you have the best reason to become the Young Miss of John's family soon. I also wish you early success and get custody of Roe. I'm all for your good," said William sourly.
God knows that he almost lost his temper and sent people to carry her back when the person whom he sent to protect her last night reported to him that John walked her home and did not leave.
He finally calmed down after standing in the cold breeze at night for a long time. He couldn't help clenching his fists and mastered the impulse in his heart. He decided to trust her, trusted her that she was a good and decent woman, so she wouldn't overstep her bounds with John at this time.
However, he was still super pissed off as long as he thought about that.
Vivian frowned, "When did you start to speak so weird and harsh?"
William raised his eyebrows, looked back down at her on the other end of the phone, and said suddenly, "It seemed that you were still a little reserved, knowing not to sleep with others if you are not married yet."
Vivian was a late bloomer. She looked back abruptly, and realized that everything in this room was now in plain view. There were just some women's stuff and her clothes.
John arranged everything well for her. However, compared to living for a while, everything was too tidy, there was nothing messy, so everything could be seen at a glance.
There was obviously no sign of any man staying in this room.
Vivian blushed slightly, and she was very angry, "William, not everyone is like you. Upon seeing a woman, you could not walk. Nasty!"
"Were you complaining that I was nasty? Yet, you still gave birth to my son in secret, and stayed with me for four years? Vivian, you are becoming more and more hypocritical!" William jeered rudely.
Vivian was very angry at his words. Her vision blurred, "It was just because I was young and thoughtless at that time, and I might be blinded to have a crush on you."
"No, you just don't admit you love me." said William coldly.
Vivian felt that if she continued the conversation with him, she would certainly have high blood pressure for anger.
Vivian looked at him with an ungracious manner, "Lawyer William, if you have nothing to do, I suggest you take advantage of the last chance to spend time with your son. In less than a month, it would be hard for you to stay with him every day." Her words revealed that after the trial, Roe must be hers.
William's eyes flashed a little starlight, "Who gave you the courage? Did the Johns agree?"
This was the only card Vivian held, which was nothing but a complete family.
Vivian raised her chin, "Of course, John and I would come to visit his parents today. We have already got their consent, and are planning to get the married certificate soon. After the arrangement about the wedding was done, Lawyer William, you will be very welcome to attend our wedding."
Vivian had to admit that she said it on purpose.
The deep darkness in William's eyes touched Vivian through a layer of screen with the power of it keeping the same. The deep gloomy look made her blood run cold.
Vivian set her mouth in a grim line. She suddenly regretted the words of bravado she just said.
William's face on the phone zoomed suddenly, because he moved closer to the screen.
Vivian subconsciously leaned back, eyes wide open.
"Vivian, tell me that except for marriage this card, have you got any other self-confidence?" said William.
"Number of tools doesn't matter, as long as it's good to use!" Vivian sneered.
William laughed as if there was something funny, but it was particularly mean in her eyes.
Vivian heard him say, "Vivian, I am not a man who doesn't want to get married. If I had a complete family now, wouldn't the so-called confidence in your mouth collapse immediately?"
Vivian's face paled.
She never thought of it.
Or to say that William had never mentioned it. He had absolute self-confidence whenever he faced her. People were usually attracted by his excellent capabilities as a lawyer and overlooked other things about him.
"Did you mean that you...you are going to marry Angie? But, you promised that you would protect Roe. You can't put them in the same room... "At this moment, Vivian had only one thought in her mind. What John said was all true.
The situation he described may be about to appear.
Roe and Angie would be living under the same roof.
Her excessive imagination showed her a picture of all the suffering that Roe may have. Her eyes were suddenly full of power. "William, I will absolutely not let the court give Roe to you!" said Vivian, biting her lips.
