My dear lawyer novel Chapter 295

“Is it a no? John, I’m sorry. It’s nonsense. Just forget it,” Vivian thought John rejected it and apologized at once.

How could she propose to him after catching him in the crossfire so many times? How brash she was!

“No, no, Vivi, I’m too excited. Did I mishear you? Are you really willing to marry me?” John was so excited about this God-given proposal that words failed him.

“I...” Facing John’s scorching eyes, Vivian was suddenly lost for words.

John had been waiting so long for her, for her proposal. He thought he would wait for a longer time. Unexpectedly, Vivi mentioned it suddenly. How could he not be ecstatic?

John couldn’t let her chicken out anymore. He rushed to her side and stared at her seriously and anxiously. “Vivi, are you really willing to marry me?”

Vivian glanced at John and then looked away. She fiddled with her fingers, took a deep breath, and answered, “Yes, if you want.”

“Of course, I do. Even if it’s a dream, I do,” John replied quickly. Of course, he was desperate to marry her. But he didn’t understand why Vivi would propose to him suddenly.

John suddenly remembered that Vivi said she couldn’t repay his kindness. His heart sank. Although he wanted to marry her, he didn’t want the marriage to be a repaid kindness.

John asked with a bitter smile, “Vivi, tell me the truth. Do you want to marry me because of gratitude?”

“No, I won’t get married because of gratitude.”

Hearing the self-jibe in his words, Vivian suddenly raised her bright eyes and stared at him. “John, I know it’s an abrupt decision. But I think we can get along well, if we get married.”

It’s just because we can get along well? It’s not for love. The excitement in his eyes faded. He didn’t want Vivi to regret the impulsive decision. “Vivi, are you really willing to spend the rest of your life with me?”

Vivian didn’t want to deceive John. She bit her lips, sighed, and said guiltily, “John, I don’t want to lie to you. If we get married, I may not give you my love, but I’ll do my best to run our family.”

Her heart was dead long ago. She might not fall in love with another man. But she hoped that Roe could have a good father and a complete family. It was also her second chance.

Once she got married, there wouldn’t be so much danger. Angie and others wouldn’t regard her as a threat.

John suddenly reached out to cover her tender, small white hands. Vivian was taken aback and looked up at him subconsciously.

“Vivi, I know you won’t be over him so soon, but I can wait. Even if you won’t fall in love with me all your life, I’m willing to protect you and Roe.”

John smiled at her with unwavering, gentle eyes. He knew that already, but he couldn’t resist the temptation to marry her.

His love for her was beyond anything. As long as they got married, she would fall for him in the future, even if she didn’t love him. It was a bland but wonderful dream.

His words astonished Vivian. Tears pricked her eyes. She was really touched by his selfless care and love, but felt pathetic.
