“In fact, William has an intimate girlfriend, and I also have a fiancée. William did not know the existence of Roe before. We both live in peace and have our own happiness. It is unnecessary to make a scene over an earlier incident.” The corner of Vivian’s mouth moved slightly and what she said was half-truth.
Mrs. Lucia frowned. Out of respect, she did not investigate what happened between Vivian and William.
But she didn’t believe what Vivian said.
She knew her son best. How could he break up with his girlfriend for a love affair many years ago, and beg to be responsible for it?
It was impossible that William did not love Vivian at all.
Mrs. Lucia said, “If this is the case, how come your fiancée not mind the existence of Roe or your past?”
"We have already negotiated these things, and he likes Roe very much.” She said evasively.
In fact, there was always a vague feeling in her heart that aside from emotional factors, she had little sense of security, no matter what kind of commitment John, her fiancée, made. She did not know why.
She always felt very insecure with her future husband.
Mrs. Lucia frowned, softened her tone and said, “Vivian, you are too young to know men. How can a man not mind that his woman having a child with someone else? He would feel uncomfortable even if he doesn’t show it in front of you.”
“Well...” she wanted to say that she believed John, but with some thoughts in her mind, she failed to say that.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lucia said, “How about that? If you really care about Joe and don’t want to disappoint your fiancée, just let Joe stay in my family. Whenever you want to see Joe, just tell us. Neither William nor the rest people in my family would mind that.
Mrs. Lucia said out resolutely and thought this idea was a good one.
It was difficult to persuade William’s grandfather to accept her idea. But whether he wanted it or not, Roe was William’s son.
He may not approve of Vivian as William’s wife, but he would certainly accept Roe as William’s son.
Since it was the case, why not satisfying her wish?
Vivian, with her face turned pale, said, “Roe grew up with me, and he would never leave me. If you want grandchildren, I’m sure you will have a lot in the future.
“I don’t care about future, Roe is the only one now!” Mrs. Lucia said with a straight face.
Vivian shook her head and said emotionally, “I know you love Roe, but William and I cannot give Roe a complete family. I don’t want Roe to have a stepmother who regards him as a thorn in the eyes. You are also a woman, so you can understand me, don’t you?”
“Vivian, why can’t we give Roe a complete family? Are you forcing me to marry you by saying these things to my mother behind my back?”
William’s voice sounded ghastly from behind, which made Vivian startled. She touched the corner of her eye with her fingertips and wiped away the teardrops furtively.
Mrs. Lucia quietly breathed a sigh of relief when William came over.
But after she felt a little relaxed, a cold voice of her son sounded, “I said I would not give up the custody of Roe. If you really want it, you can resort to law, rather than looking for sympathy here. Of course, if you admit that you are trying to force me to marry you, maybe I can think about it.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, William!” Mrs. Lucia stared at her son and said.
She suddenly felt as if she knew the reason why his son had been single.
Speaking in this way would definitely make him single for a lifelong.
Vivian pursed her lips and said with a quiver, “I get it.”
She knew very well what kind of person William was.
