Vivian looked straight at him as a response to his gaze. As if she got courage from her son, she feared no more at all.
“Humph, you are getting a little bolder.” laughed William. He reached out his hand and touched her head as he did to Roe before.
Vivian’s face suddenly went hot.
Roe rushed to the table, and held the vacuum flask on the table and then came back to her, "Mom, Grandma asked aunt to cook this for you. It was very delicious. Try it."
Vivian was smiling, and felt warm in her heart.
The good smell of food filled the whole room immediately after she opened the vacuum flask.
Roe sniffed, and his small mouth moved twice, keeping looking at the soup in Vivian's hands greedily.
No, that was for mom, said Roe to himself in his heart.
Grandma said that his mom was in poor health and needed more nutrition!
The little one’s dark eyes were rolling. He tried not to act so obvious that he actually wanted to drink it, but his small thought was so obvious.
Vivian snorted laughter, “Here, go for it.”
"Mom..." Roe made a slurp, and then looked away. He was determined, "No! Grandma said this is for mom. Roe wants mom to feel better soon, so Roe prefers mom to drink it."
Vivian tilted her head slightly and handed the spoon over, "Uh-huh, could Roe do mom a favor, tasting it first to see if it’s too hot?"
On second thoughts, Roe nodded vigorously and solemnly.
He took a sip of the soup in the spoon she held.
Then he said importantly, “It’s perfect!”
”You little fool” William snorted, and shook his head.
What a silly boy, he thought smilingly.
Vivian glared at him when she heard the words.
William turned around and started to read the documents he had just received, ignoring the silly mother and son.
In the end, Roe drank most of the thick soup in the vacuum flask.
The little fella ate too much and his belly was like a ball now. He lay next to Vivian, telling her how much he had suffered being around William and how much he missed her.
His words made Vivian’s heart warm, while William seemed to be angry.
In the end, William could do nothing but laugh at his son's words. He opened the door and walked away.
Roe stood up straight, and drew a long face, “Mom, do you love Roe no more? Are you going to abandon me?”
Vivian was taken aback, and reached out her hands and held his soft body in her arms, “Roe, sweetie, why do you say that? I love you so much. I would never and ever leave Roe behind!"
“But mom, you did not show up for several days. You promised Roe that you would take Roe away soon.” said Roe, pouting.
Vivian said nothing.
She looked a little lost.
Seeing the expression on her face right now, Roe was worried about her.
Roe stepped forward and took the initiative to hold her arm and said eagerly,”Mom, Roe did not actually be mad at you. I just miss you too much and am so worried that you will abandon me.”
Sitting next to the elevator, John, a gorgeous man, now disregarded the image of himself, leaned against the wall, and standing opposite were a few bodyguards looking at him nervously.
Suddenly, the sound of leather shoes walking on the ground made him look sideways.
He saw a pair of long legs, and the owner of the legs was looking at him impassively.
“William!” John jumped to his feet.
William turned his head and looked at him mockingly, “As the first heir of the Johns, you look like this. John, do I give you too much credit?”
“I enjoy it as long as it’s for Vivi!” said John, his eyes blazing.
William sneered, “Don't blame your stupidity on others. You are not for Vivian, because you just do it for yourself!”
"William, who are you to say this? You are the selfish one who knows nothing but plunder! You think you know love? I love Vivi. I’ll do anything for her no matter how humiliating it could be. I don’t care as long as it was for Vivi. Only someone like you who was two-timing for Vivi and brought her misery could say such words.” John stood straight, and looked at him.
They were of the same height, both handsome and attractive, with different temperaments. They faced each other, and the tensions between them made people around frightened.
James, who held the thought of watching the performance, now changed his careless attitude and looked at John in amusement.
This man had a powerful vibe, which was even comparable to that of William. In time, he would be somebody!
William’s face was calm, and he raised his eyebrows slightly. Seeing his tenacity through John’s eyes, a smile began to snake across William’s face suddenly. “Oh? So you would do anything for Vivian? ” said William, in an impolite tone.
“Of course!” John said the two words powerfully.
William's eyes flashed quickly, and he nodded in satisfaction. "Very well, then there is a problem to be solved now. I would like to see what your strategy is, Mr. John."
His smile was subtle, from which John felt some bad intentions.
