My dear lawyer

Chapter 314 Hanging up That Jerk in Public

Hearing what Selina said, Vivian couldn’t help glance at John.

Her subconscious went, “They knew it... So John actually knew that she was just lying. “

“Are you zoning out? I am worried about you, Vivian. Answer my question!” Selina had no idea what

Vivian was thinking about and kept urging her.

Vivian opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say. She didn’t know John already knew everything. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

John saw the guilty look in Vivian’s face. He didn’t want her to be embarrassed. Therefore he answered

Selina’s question for Vivian, “Selina, let Vivi go home and get some rest first. She went through a lot

tonight.”

Selina said, “You are right. Vivi, go home and sleep. I will talk to you tomorrow. “Vivian looked

exhausted, so Selina felt it was not good to ask Vivi questions anymore.

On their way home, Vivian tried to explain why she lied, but didn’t know what to say. Besides, whatever

she said couldn’t cover up her lies and John might not want to hear her explanation.

As a result, they both kept silence. When they got back to the villa, Roe had already fallen asleep.

Head bowed, looking at her feet, Vivian hesitated and said to John, “Sorry, John. I didn’t to mean to lie

to you. I just don’t want you guys to worry about me.”

“I know.” John didn’t get cross and said in a low voice, “But I’d rather you call me first when you are in

troubles.

Because she was his fiancée, he wanted her to think of him first, not other man when she was in

trouble.

Vivian saw self-mockery and disappointment in John’s eyes, so she immediately explained to him, “It

was not what you thought it was. I tried to call you, but I accidently dialed the wrong number.

“Okay, I believe you.” John was slightly startled, and a gentle smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

“It’s time to sleep. I will go to the hospital with you tomorrow to have your body checked.”

Vivian wanted to tell him it was not necessary, but she can’t decline him as he looked so worried about

her. She nodded.

Then they went to their own rooms separately.

Lying on the bed, turning left and right over and over again, Vivian couldn’t fall asleep. She was

thinking about William’s last words, felt depressed and unable to breathe.

She doubted her decision of returning home. It occurred to her that there was no one place in this

whole world for her to live peacefully.

The sound Vivian made on the bed made Roe who was in a half-awaken state rolled into her arm and

asked her faintly and softly, “Mom, are you back home?”

“Sorry, Roe. Did I wake you up?” Vivian braced Roe in her arms lovingly.

Roe moved his head and took a deep breath. He liked the smell of his mother. The smell was hard to

describe. It smelt like sunshine, but also like flower fragrance and sweetness of a cake. He liked all

those smells.

He answered Vivian, “No, I am not sleepy now.”

Vivian stroked his little head and smiled gently, “You little pumpkin! It’s 1 a.m. now! How would you not

to be sleepy. Let’s sleep. Mommy is right here with you.”

“Mommy, you don’t seem happy here, let’s go back to countryside.” Roe innocently thought that his

mother was disturbed because she had to deal with a lot of troubling stuff in the city.

He thought it was better for them to return to the countryside where they can live more freely than in

the city. There weren’t many people and issues, and there wasn’t much discipline, either.

Vivian didn’t say anything about Roe’s idea. She just patted his back gently and gazed at the dark

night. “Mommy will bring you back after you finish your operation.”

“Aren’t you going to marry Uncle John?” Roe was a bit nervous and said.

Vivian stopped for a minute and asked “Don’t you like me to marry Uncle John?”

Vivian thought Roe would like that. She engaged with John for the sake of Roe and also for herself.

Roe’s chubby hand grabbed Vivian’s scattered hair and curled them with his fingers. Roe uttered

inexplicitly, “No, Uncle John is nice and I like him, but...”

Vivian said, “But what?” Vivian didn’t realize Roe was hiding so many secrets from her. He never told

her about that. He was always an angle baby to her.

Roe bit his pink tender lips. He looked decisive and solemnly said, “But I see that you are unhappy, I

don’t want you to be unhappy.”

Although he had no idea of marriage, he saw that before. It was said that marriage was happy. But he

didn’t saw happiness on Mommy’s face for such a long time.

Sometimes, Mommy zoned out in front of the window. Sometimes Mommy looked distressed. Mommy

must have no idea of that.

Vivian stopped patting Roe a few seconds, but then still put her hand on his back.

He said so gently that she wasn’t sure if it was her overlapping sound, “Mommy isn’t unhappy. I just

feel a bit nervous.”

“Really?” Roe pouted. Why did he feel Mommy was more like persuading him.

Vivian cheered herself up and hugged Roe with her unhurt hand more tightly and said, “Behave well.

Go to sleep”

She dared not to delve into her true will, which was the most unnecessary thing at the moment and

which affected many people.

Roe was still a child. Not getting enough sleep made him sleepy very soon. He yawned and quietly lay

in Vivian’s arms and closed his eyes slowly.

Vivian waited until Roe breathed evenly. Then she opened her starry eyes without a bit of tiredness.

Appreciating the moon outside of the window and looking at her cute little baby in the arms, Vivian’s

mood was soothed.

She just wanted to protect what she had from harm. No one can hurt her child again.

No one!

The next day, before Vivian got up, Eric’s scandal hit the headlines in Jinan city. On the Time’s Square

at downtown of Jinn city, Eric was hung up nakedly with a board reading ‘I am a beast’ on his chest.

And Wanyu entertainment shares hit a record low.

Before the reporters hurried to the Square, a huge crowd of people gathered there. The reporters found

it hard to make way to the center of the crowd. When they got there, they saw elderly women and men

pointing fingers at them, saying,

“Look at today’s young man. How badly he behaved.”

“Right. This is indecent early in the morning.”

“Who is he? Calling himself a beast is just humiliating.”

“Click, click, click,” The reporters pressed the shutters while saying excitedly,” “hurry up. Take a picture

of him. Tell the editor to give us the biggest column. We are going to take the headline.”
