William disdainfully sat on the couch with his legs crossed, “Oh yeah? Let’s see what will happen next then, Vivian. Show me what you’ve got!”
Hearing that contemptuous tone, Vivian closed the video chat immediately. Did she lose her mind thinking that it would be possible to talk with him rationally?
Aroused by William’s provocation, she dressed up soon.
She needed a lawyer for the court.
Though William was a famous lawyer, she did not think there was nobody else able to go against William in such a developed city.
William looked at the black screen, slightly raised his stylistic eyebrows and smiled slightly after a short pause.
She was still such an unstable woman. Who knew if she was acting weird recently or she was just purely dumb?
He would end this fight soon.
“Did you finish eating, Roe? We should get going for the checkup.” said William.
Roe nodded but stayed silent.
On the way to the hospital, they walked through a road covered with special stones.
Roe’s body started skewing on it with that unstable shin.
William tried to take his hand to help him, but Roe snorted and dodged him immediately.
“Being naughty again?” said William.
“No! I can walk by myself.” Roe answered after a short pause, and then started pacing unstably.
Seeing Roe’s cute head in front, William found it kind of funny.
He caught up Roe after two big steps, and grabbed on his shirt to lift him up.
“No, let me go… let go… dad…” Roe struggled and started screaming.
He did not like this feeling of losing balance suddenly.
William said slowly, “Tell me why you are upset first.”
Roe immediately shut his little mouth then left a straight face to William.
Now that made William the one who felt uncomfortable.
Though Roe was a bit different from other kids, how hard could it be to make a kid happy?
He put Roe down, and squatted in front of him, looking straight into his eyes, “Tell dad, what are you thinking exactly? Don’t lie to me like what you did to grandmother.”
Who knew this little guy would be so good at coaxing out information from his grandmother?
He was acting cute and saying how daddy was bad while he missed mom so much.
It was all Roe’s fault that his mother glared at him for so many times in the morning.
With eyes turning red, Roe pouted, “You are going to marry Angie that witch, right?”
William frowned, “Roe, you can’t talk like this as a kid. No matter how much you hate Angie, you should still keep your manners.”
“It is obvious that you don’t allow me to say it like that because you are going to marry her. Don’t use manner as an excuse. My mom taught me a lot about manners!”
William chuckled out of speechlessness.
Though this little guy looked like him, his clear eyes and his way of acting tough when feeling upset looked exactly like Vivian.
William pulled Roe into his arm and spanked his butt lightly.
