My dear lawyer novel Chapter 385

Vivian leaned on the sofa sluggishly. The broadcaster’s ponderous voice from the TV made her sleepy.

She was not bothered, since her son was too smart to watch those noisy cartoons.

Roe slipped out of the sheets and took a glance at her.

“Mom, are you sleeping?” He whispered.

Vivian’s eyes snapped open. She seemed conscious. “What? Do you want to drink water or you want to go to bathroom?”

Roe shook his head. Then he stretched his arms.

Vivian went over to him readily, held him in her arms, and leaned next to him.

“Mom, are you going to marry John?” Roe asked as he lied on his stomach, his wide-opened eyes overwhelmed with curiosity and questions.

Vivian froze when she heard the question. Vivian found it difficult to answer the question as she looked at his face, which was so similar to that of William.

Roe was just a child, not matter how smart he was. It was hard for him to comprehend the complicated relationships between adults.

In his heart, he merely wanted his parents to be together.

Just like other children’s parents. However, it seemed not likely.

“Roe, a good boy would never eavesdrop. Next time when mommy is talking to him, you should know what to do. Understand?” Vivian feigned anger.

The sound volume of television was turned up and the two were not sitting together. Vivian didn’t know the little kid had such good hearing. He was just as elusive as William.

Roe shook his head. There was a slight shred of contempt in his eyes. He wondered if his mother was trying to change the topic. He considered it obvious.

“Mom, you have not yet answered my question.”

Vivian had no choice but to rub his head. “Don’t you like him?”

Roe pursed his lips, “I didn’t mean that. John is nice to me, but he’s not dad.”

Vivian’s face dimmed slightly, “But your dad is already with Angie. You want to live with her?”

Roe pursed his lips tighter.

He remembered that bad lady.

How could he possibly want to live with that witch?

“Mom, Roe will always be with you. Wherever you go, I’ll follow you.” said the little boy decisively, holding his mother tight.

He used to live a happy life without his dad, except that he could not see his mother quite often. But he was her only child. He believed that she would never abandon him.

If he needed to leave his mother and live with that witch to be with his dad, he’d rather have John in his life.

Holding the boy in her arms, Vivian’s eyes reddened.

She had never regretted giving birth to Roe, and she was always proud of this considerate child.

“Roe, mommy will make it better, so that you can live like other kids.” Vivian swore in a low voice.

In the ward next to theirs, the frowns on William’s forehead revealed his mood.

His voice sounded low. The black pupils in his squinting eyes were giving off a freezing vibe. Joe felt like winter when he looked into William’s eyes.

Joe shivered and then he rubbed his nose. “It was my mistake. I swear that I will arrest Six-ears within 3 days. After that I’ll take my punishment.”

“Since you have it all planned, why do you come here?” William sneered.

He found his fellow very mischievous in normal circumstances, but very unreliable in crucial times.

He was surprised that they still failed to capture Six-ears after so many times. Now they even lost track of him. It seemed that they were devoid of training during these years when he was not with them. Joe’s head became lower.

He could care less about manners in normal times, since they were brothers. When it came to missions and disciplines, there was no room for negotiation.

He knew well of his punishment.

He was here only to inform his boss.

“Boss, we still haven’t found Six-ears. Should we send more men to the hospital, in case of any accident? I am afraid Six-ears will come for you.” He worried that Six-ears would look for William’s weaknesses again, which meant that Six-ears might start with Vivian or Roe.

That would be worse than letting the man kill his boss.

William sneered, and then he spoke, “Not necessary. Find a place that is quiet and hard to trace. Roe and I will move in.”

Of course, that woman was also included.

In that case, they would not be frequently visited by the irrelevant people.

Joe was confused, wondering if his boss was up to something.

“Yes, sir!”

“Keep an eye on Daniel and Eric. Find out the date of the trade. If possible, you can sneak into the place where they will sign the contract. If you fail me again, you will spend another year in the base.” William said with a stern voice.

Joe looked frightened. He felt a punch on his heart when he thought of that terrifying place.

“Yes sir!” He answered loudly. “You have three days. You said it yourself.” William reminded him.

Joe put on a wry smile and saluted, “Yes.”

“Now, get out of here!”

Joe took his exit immediately.

William stood up and rubbed the wound on his shoulder. The thing Six-ears hid almost pierced through his shoulder.

However, as long as he was not dying, he would recover soon.

But he was impressed by Daniel.

He wondered what was so special about Six-ears that Daniel was so eager to protect this man, even when he knew that he would be exposed.

William squinted, reviewing the information about Six-ears in his head. Then he connected it with what happened in the Shen Family.

He tried to find any clue.

Meanwhile, in the house of the Shen Family.

“Brother, have you found any information about the kid Roe?” Daisy asked.

Yesterday she called the police in time when she was instructed to do so. However, except making a statement in the police station, there was no further progress of the case. It was very late in the evening when Daniel picked her. He said that he would help her on the case.

But she still didn’t know anything about that kid after one night.

Daisy felt guilty when thinking of the cute little kid. He suffered from ill health, and now he was kidnapped.

If she had not taken him out for cakes, the little boy might not have been kidnapped.

She felt like it was all her fault.

Daniel raised his eyebrows. He felt helpless about his sister’s self-blame and worried about her.
