My dear lawyer novel Chapter 321

Hearing that Roe had come back, William was happy. It could be seen from his unwrinkled eyebrows, which he himself did not notice. He had some unutterable affection for this kid. “OK.”

OK? That was all? Roe thought, with his lips curling a little. “My dad does not know how to keep a conversation going. Talking like that will just end a conversation. Well, it will be better if I could start a conversation.”

“Uncle William, do you have something to tell me?”

As a matter of fact, he hoped to say something like “Daddy, are you missing me?”

But he felt embarrassed, so he didn’t do that.

Pausing for a while, William asked in a deep voice, “Are you and your mother OK recently?” not knowing why he asked.

“We are OK.” Roe answered mechanically, not getting William’s implied meaning in his words.

William continued asking: “Did your parents treat you badly?”

“No. They are not living together, but they will probably see each other soon.” Roe responded smirking, not knowing what William was thinking about.

“If they divorced, why would they see each other again soon? Were they serious about their?” William thought after hearing this, with his eyebrows squeezed together.

But he knew that any kid would hope their parents could live together.

“Is your father having an affair?”

He thought that Roe’s mother must be blind to fall in love with such a bad guy, and made her own child suffer with her. Since there were so many good guys outside, why did she just put all her eggs in one basket?

“This is right.” Roe could not help sighing when thinking about it. He particularly wanted to ask the man on the other side of the phone. But after a second thought, he felt it was inappropriate now. He could just wait until the day after tomorrow.

He must seek justice for his mother. If his dad was indeed having an affair, he would take his mother away from his father, without any hesitation.

But mom would engage with Uncle John soon, what should he do? This was a really difficult question.

William thought Roe was in a dilemma as to whether he should make up with his irresponsible father, and said, “A man should shoulder the responsibility of the whole family, and cannot make those who care about them caught in a dilemma due to his selfishness.”

Dad, I was still a kid! Were these words too heavy for me?

Roe suddenly could not utter any word, thinking “Do not make those who care about you be caught in a dilemma? What do you mean? Do you mean that I should not take my mother to see my ‘dad’? What if you know this dad is yourself? Will you feel face slapped?”

“Uncle William, I know that. I hope my father thinks in the same way.”

William felt these words had some implications, so he asked, “Do you need my help?”

As Roe was about to answer, he heard someone knocking on the door. He hastily covered his phone with his little hands, then he heard a slightly worried voice: “Roe, what are you doing inside?”

“Mom, nothing! I will go out soon.” Roe had to raise his voice.

Vivian noticed that there was no anomaly in Roe’s voice, she felt relieved. “OK, remember not to sit for too long.”

“OK, Mom.” Waiting for Vivian’s footsteps to be far away, he dared to put his hands away from the phone. “Uncle William, I cannot talk to you right now. My mom is calling me.”

“OK.” William heard a Woman’s voice. But he could not hear it clearly due to the closed door on the other side of the phone. He had a strange feeling that the woman must be someone he knew.

But he felt that it was impossible. If yes, he should remember her.

“Who could that be?” He thought, eager to know who Roe’s mother was.
