My dear lawyer novel Chapter 298

“I regret not taking you away earlier. Vivi, sorry for the grievance you suffered. I didn’t expect she would say that,” John apologized. He had no idea his mother would be so mean.

Vivian shook her head and said, “Never mind. In fact, her behavior is understandable. It’s a hasty decision. No parent can accept it at one.”

“Vivi, don’t worry. When they get to know you, they will know how wonderful you are,” John said firmly.

Vivian didn’t care. “Take it easy. John, let’s go home first.”

After ten days of recuperation, Roe wasn’t in a semi-coma anymore. If she was away for a long time, he would be extremely anxious.

“Okay. Vivi, I will send you back first. I have some business to deal with in the company. I’ll be home later.” John didn’t tell the truth. He had been traveling home and abroad for more than half a month. The accumulated workload required three days of non-stop working.

“John, go ahead with your work. I can go home alone.” Hearing that, Vivian decided to take a taxi and go home alone.

Sure enough, John wouldn’t allow it. He still sent her home by himself.

Watching his departing car with a frown, Vivian sighed unconsciously. From Reina’s reaction, she knew their engagement was tricky. She only hoped John wouldn’t be in a dilemma in the end.

“Are you reluctant to part from your lover?”

As Vivian heard the familiar voice behind her, her pupils contracted suddenly; her spine stiffened; like a marionette, she turned around mechanically and looked at that man who shouldn’t be here.

It was William.

William threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground and trampled on it. Coldness glimmered in his intense dark eyes. “What? Why are you so afraid of seeing me?”

William was informed on the first day when Vivian and John came back. To be precise, as soon as she got on the flight, he knew their landing time and place. The reason why he showed up now was to see her reaction.

What disappointed him was that she hadn’t been engaged yet. What a pity. He had prepared a “great” gift for them.

Vivian looked into his piercing gaze, clenching her fists at her sides to force herself to calm down. She warned herself inwardly that she had nothing to do with this man and didn’t need to be scared of him.

When she raised her eyes again, Vivian was as calm as usual. She said indifferently, “Mr. William, please mind your words. John is my fiancé now.”

What a “fiancé”! A cold light flashed over his eyes. They were in a short distance. With a few strides, William was in front of her. His sharp frigid eyes were studying the woman who was scared inwardly but pretended to be cool. Who made her so brave?

The answer was obvious.

“Your fiancé?” William leaned forward. His unique, cool smell wafted into her nose.

Vivian’s palms were sweating. They were close enough for Vivian to even see his pores and moving lips clearly. She took a shallow breath and recoiled.

“Sure. Who else could it be?”

“Vivian, you are so bold.” Before she stood still, William hooked her waist swiftly and pulled her into his arms. His voice emitted coldness. “Do I need to remind you? Huh?”

Vivian bumped into his arms, caught off guard. Her snub nose hit the tough wall of flesh. Tears pricked her eyes at once. It hurt so much! But hearing his words, Vivian pushed him away and tried to escape, regardless of the pain.
