My dear lawyer novel Chapter 314

Hearing what Selina said, Vivian couldn’t help glance at John.

Her subconscious went, “They knew it... So John actually knew that she was just lying. “

“Are you zoning out? I am worried about you, Vivian. Answer my question!” Selina had no idea what Vivian was thinking about and kept urging her.

Vivian opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know John already knew everything.

John saw the guilty look in Vivian’s face. He didn’t want her to be embarrassed. Therefore he answered Selina’s question for Vivian, “Selina, let Vivi go home and get some rest first. She went through a lot tonight.”

Selina said, “You are right. Vivi, go home and sleep. I will talk to you tomorrow. “Vivian looked exhausted, so Selina felt it was not good to ask Vivi questions anymore.

On their way home, Vivian tried to explain why she lied, but didn’t know what to say. Besides, whatever she said couldn’t cover up her lies and John might not want to hear her explanation.

As a result, they both kept silence. When they got back to the villa, Roe had already fallen asleep.

Head bowed, looking at her feet, Vivian hesitated and said to John, “Sorry, John. I didn’t to mean to lie to you. I just don’t want you guys to worry about me.”

“I know.” John didn’t get cross and said in a low voice, “But I’d rather you call me first when you are in troubles.

Because she was his fiancée, he wanted her to think of him first, not other man when she was in trouble.

Vivian saw self-mockery and disappointment in John’s eyes, so she immediately explained to him, “It was not what you thought it was. I tried to call you, but I accidently dialed the wrong number.

“Okay, I believe you.” John was slightly startled, and a gentle smile rose from the corner of his mouth. “It’s time to sleep. I will go to the hospital with you tomorrow to have your body checked.”

Vivian wanted to tell him it was not necessary, but she can’t decline him as he looked so worried about her. She nodded.

Then they went to their own rooms separately.

Lying on the bed, turning left and right over and over again, Vivian couldn’t fall asleep. She was thinking about William’s last words, felt depressed and unable to breathe.

She doubted her decision of returning home. It occurred to her that there was no one place in this whole world for her to live peacefully.

The sound Vivian made on the bed made Roe who was in a half-awaken state rolled into her arm and asked her faintly and softly, “Mom, are you back home?”

“Sorry, Roe. Did I wake you up?” Vivian braced Roe in her arms lovingly.

Roe moved his head and took a deep breath. He liked the smell of his mother. The smell was hard to describe. It smelt like sunshine, but also like flower fragrance and sweetness of a cake. He liked all those smells.

He answered Vivian, “No, I am not sleepy now.”

Vivian stroked his little head and smiled gently, “You little pumpkin! It’s 1 a.m. now! How would you not to be sleepy. Let’s sleep. Mommy is right here with you.”

“Mommy, you don’t seem happy here, let’s go back to countryside.” Roe innocently thought that his mother was disturbed because she had to deal with a lot of troubling stuff in the city.

He thought it was better for them to return to the countryside where they can live more freely than in the city. There weren’t many people and issues, and there wasn’t much discipline, either.
