Vivian came out, but she didn’t go into his car as he had expected. Instead, she walked towards her car and went into it under William’s serious gaze.
William sneered and got off the car.
She didn’t realize that the door was unlocked after a tall figure sat next to her.
“Get out!” Vivian glared at him.
William sneered, “This is my car, if I remember correctly!”
“Well, I will get out!” Vivian reached her hands for the safe belt as she heard it.
William stopped her immediately.
“William, what do you want?” asked Vivian, trying to push him sway.
William grunted because of pain. Although his voice was hardly audible, Vivian noticed it.
She hit his wound.
The madness in her eyes faded as she turned calm. She gave him a nudge. “Let go of me!”
Seeing her calming down, William loosened his grip.
“Drive!” The word came out of his mouth like he was spitting out ice dregs. It sounded like a command.
Vivian bite her lips and started the car.
“William, what the hell are you thinking? If you want a child, there are numerous women who are willing to do it with you. Why do you want to take Roe away from me? I only want Roe. Can you just take him as my payment for accompanying you for four years?”
Vivian wept regretfully.
William looked at her pale face, countless thoughts flashed through his mind. But he said none of them.
“Vivian, you can’t get advantages twice with only one payment. Don’t forget the reason you used to get that five million.” His words pierced her heart like needles.
Vivian gritted, “Do you mean that if I give the five million to you, you won’t try to take Roe’s custody from me?”
“Impossible!” His word broke her hope. “It’s too late now!”
“You...” Vivian was trying hard to ease her anger. “Well, if you want to do it this way, I don’t mind filing a lawsuit. I know you are good this. But, William, there will always be someone who is better. You will have your first failure.”
“Really? I’m looking forward to it. I hope you will get the result you want!” William sneered.
Vivian almost pierced her lower lip when she found her threat so vain.
This man nearly gave her a mental break-down.
“I’ll take Roe with me tonight.” Vivian said.
William laughed and said nothing.
Vivian didn’t know what he was thinking.
He didn’t care or he was just laughing at her silliness?
Before she could figure it out, they arrived at the entrance of the mansion. When the car stopped at the gate for inspection, William got out, leaving Vivian behind with her madness.
His mother was having lunch when they entered.
Vivian promised to make her lunch in the morning. It seemed that she went back to her words.
The anger on Vivian’s face ebbed slightly.
Vivian felt guilty, thinking that she ignored Roe’s feelings.
“I’m sorry. I will be more careful then.”
William sneered, “Careful? You are going to start a lawsuit for Roe’s custody. You think you can hide this from him?”
Vivian’s face paled.
William’s mother raised her eyebrow and looked at Vivian in surprise.
She had not expected that they were still quarreling.
Then she started thinking about other things.
However, when she thought that her grandson had been missing his mom so much, her voice became slightly mild when she spoke. “Vivian, it’s normal to have quarrels between couples. Why do you want to start a lawsuit? It’s not good.”
Vivian braced herself and shook her head, “Ma’am, you misunderstood. We are not lovers and it’s not just a quarrel. Roe’s birth is an accident and his custody will be given to one of us sooner or later. It’s not good for him if it is delayed. He’s a good boy and he will accept it if I explain it to him.”
“Nonsense!” William’s mother said hotly.
Startled, Vivian was quivering.
“You are irresponsible to your child. You should stop acting things like that since you have given birth to him. I thought you two were getting along well. Why do you have to think about all this nonsense? Anyway, you won’t have my consent. No one can take my grandson away from me and my grandson needs a mother!” William seemed irritated. Then she went upstairs with one hand covering her forehead.
William walked up to Vivian and said, “Vivian, how capable of you! I haven’t seen my mom being so angry for so many years.”
Vivian looked up at him, “So what? William, you have to figure out a way. You want me to do nothing while you are going to marry Angie, who is a total danger to Roe?”
“When did I say that I’m going to marry her?” William argued.
