My dear lawyer novel Chapter 423

When Vivian heard that William was the sender, she had already let down most of her doubts and guard.

What's more, the package was just a thin one. She therefore supposed it could not be anything dangerous and guessed that it might be some documents just as the delivery man said. Vivian nodded and signed, and then let the delivery man go.

Vivian got back into the house, and opened the so-called courier box, and her complexion became ghastly pale as soon as she read the contents of the paper in the box.

John just hung up and walked to Vivian.

Noticing her abnormal expression at once, John was confused and said, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong?”

Vivian crossed her eyes at him, handed the file over to him, "Look at this."

“This is..." John took a while to look over the file and frowned, "a subpoena?"

Vivian nodded, she was very angry, “Well, he did keep his promise! How did he even get a subpoena? The courthouse wasn't even open yet at this time. Did he plan this for a long time?"

When she figured it out, she felt her heart was as cold as being poured into a bottle of iced water.

All the flukes that existed in her mind before had all gone now.

Apparently, William had been ready to sue for his parental rights for a long time, and this subpoena was also prepared intentionally. She suddenly realized that the lawsuit had been prepared for her long ago, and she had to face it no matter she decided to leave or stay.

How silly she was to think the one-year Appointment he said before was for her and Roe's good.

He had it all planned out.

"It seemed that William was ready for us, and we'd better take action quickly, too," John frowned and took a deep breath.

"What? What action?" Vivian said in doubts.

"You have less than a month. It seems that we have to get a marriage certificate as soon as possible." John said, pointing at the words on the subpoena.

Vivian became nervous suddenly.

"Vivi, you have no time for hesitation. For Roe's sake, we must get this thing done as soon as possible. So, are you ready?" John said, staring at her eyes.

Vivian took a deep breath. Looking at his hopeful eyes, she really wanted to tell him that she was ready. The words were on her lips, but she couldn’t say anything.

Vivian shook her head, "I'm not sure. There's so much going on in my head right now." Her shoulders were sagging powerlessly.

Even the current situation left her with no choice but to get married, she still didn't want to do so.

There was a voice in her heart telling her that it was a wrong decision, which might be at the expense of him and even lead to other adverse consequences.

For example, for his fiancée.

And for his parents who didn't like her.

"Vivi, tell me what you are thinking right now. What are you worrying about? No matter what it is, leave it to me, leave all your worries to me, and I'll sort them out." John took her in his arms with his eyes looking at her affectionately.

Vivian obeyed, even though there was still uncertainty in her heart, and finally said, "But, John, your parents..."

“Oh, that wouldn't be a problem. Do you know who was the person calling just now?" John smiled, and couldn't wait for Vivian's to reply. "It was my mother. She told me that she had figured it out. She said that pedigree was nothing important in a marriage. What really matters is my happiness and that I love you. So she already agreed. And she asked me to take you home for dinner tonight."

Vivian abruptly lifted herself from his arms, "To...tonight?"

"Yes, tonight!” John repeated, and noticed her face as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and couldn't help smiling, “Don't worry, we are just coming over for dinner. My father is a quiet man with a forceful personality, but he doesn't bother too much about my relationship. And you have nothing to worry about my mother either. She prefers perfumes, pearls, and jewelry. As long as you make her happy, nothing will be a problem. I'll prepare the presents later, and what you need to do is just to put your mind at rest and go with me."

Her hands holding his clothes became tighter, as she still felt a little worried.

"How could Mrs. Reina... How could she suddenly change her mind? Didn't you say that she was against us before?" said Vivian, she couldn’t figure it out.

A trace of doubt between his eyebrows was fleeting.

That was also what he wanted to ask.

However, facing Vivian now, he certainly couldn't say that.
