My dear lawyer

Chapter 469 Nothing To Lose

Vivian rubbed Roe’s head. She mumbled, “It will take a while.”

Then she made an embarrassing switch of the conversation. She served Selina with some food, “This

tastes good. Have a try.”

Selina didn’t respond. She got interrupted by the strange look on Vivian’s face.

When they finished dinner, William went to the study for work. Vivian excused herself to show Selina

around.

By the time they stepped in a flourishing garden, Selina spoke out her doubts, “Please let me know

what happened, Vivi. I feel awkward being kept in the darkness. How did you return to William again?”

Vivian pursed her lips. She hesitated a little before explaining.

Vivian always trusted Selina.

“You mean John’s fiancée tried to bully you? You only met her for a few times. How could she have the

thoughts on being vicious to you?” Selina’s eyes dilated with fear.

Then she fumed with indignation, “I thought William would be a good example as a typical playboy.

John turned out to be the same!”

“This might not be his fault. No one knows about his fiancée. Maybe it’s just his parents’ wishful

thinking.” Vivian tried to exculpate for John.

Selina squinted at her, “Why are you so emotional? I thought you don’t like John. You seem to speak

for him now.” This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Are you impressed by his tenderness after all these days?” She tentatively made a spoof.

Vivian replied indisputably, “I think I got moved by him. If someone showed great care to you, you

would feel the same as I did.”

“Do you want to marry him?” Selina learned forward and winked at her ambivalently.

Vivian pushed her away, “I decided already. We supposed to get our certificate that day. We were in

front of the civil affairs department when he was informed of Mrs. Reina’s hospitalization.”

“No way. That was too bad. Then you just went on with William, since you got nothing to lose now?”

Selina made a deep sigh. She felt heartbroken for how tough her good friend had been through.

Vivian rolled her eyes. She seemed to be disorientated as well.

She lowered her head and stretched out for a leaf, “I’m really confused now, Selina. I felt discouraged if

I could get Roe’s custody.”

“Though I had similar feeling before, John kept me company at that time. Now I can’t even imagine

about it by noticing how limited I am. Maybe it’s time to leave Roe to William. I seem to realize the

separation every time I met Roe.” Vivian felt really depressed.

She could already expect how she would react to the judgment.

A flash of warm sunshine came across Vivian’s long hair. It stayed there and cleared the darkness in

her mind.

Selina was too bewildering to comfort her.

She knew exactly how important Roe meant to Vivian.

But William wouldn’t easily compromise either.

Roe was his son after all.

Vivian didn’t have much chance to win the lawsuit, compared to William in all respects.

She heaved a deep sigh. Selina turned towards her, “Haylee popped up unexpectedly. Let me check

who she is, and why is she so ruthless.”

Vivian goggled at Selina, “Don’t meddle with her!”

“Take it easy. I do this for John!” Selina raised her eyebrows.

Vivian turned a steady eye.

Selina stunned a little when she caught Vivian’s look. A quick thought came up to her mind straight

away. She almost choked, “What are you thinking? I don’t have any feeling towards John. As his friend,

I want to help. A vicious girl like Haylee won’t suit him. John is a nice guy. He is really gentle and

caring, not to mention how wealthy he is.”

By hearing that, Vivian theatrically patted her chest, “You really scared me. I thought you had affection

for him. I was wondering whether I should tell Mr. Grace or not.”

“Why do you mention him? I can choose who I like. Grace really doesn’t matter to me.” Selina held her

head up high with a flushed face.

She would never admit her relationship with Grace.

Vivian chucked. She felt better now.

Selina didn’t stay long. Vivian was about to take a break after she left, while William suddenly showed

up.

She stayed at the room where she was before. William arranged the cleanup for her and left everything

unchanged.

“What’s up? I want to have a rest.” Vivian twinkled, with clean clothes in her hand. She was about to

take a shower.

William headed down. He paused on Vivian’s pinky underwear for a second.

Then he looked upon her face, “Do you want Roe’s custody?”

A flash of surprise came across Vivian, “Are you willing to give up?”

“I am not.”

His words dented all the joys that just came up through her mind.

Vivian grumbled with a little disappointment, “Do you enjoy making fun of me?”

“Kind of.” William did think about it for a few seconds. He nodded after.

Vivian lapsed into silence.

He must be crazy!

“If there’s nothing else, I want to take a show. Could you leave for now, Mr. William?” Vivian exclaimed

angrily.

William had a little thought. He stepped forward and tossed her clothes to the bed. Her clothes

randomly placed on the pure white sheet, with a beauty of chaos.

He pressed Vivian to the bed with a straight look, “Marry me and you can stay with Roe for the rest of

your life. You don’t have to worry about anything else either.”

By seeing how serious William was, Vivian almost lost herself in this vague feeling.

Maybe she had already expected this for a long time. She acted rational at this moment and shook off

William’s rhetoric right away.

Vivian stroked his forehead with a little surprise, “You seem to be okay. Why do you talk

nonsense?”
