My dear lawyer

Alexander soon left it all behind.

Since Mrs. Lucia noticed that he was William's assistant, she asked kindly.

"We understand how busy William is. We don't want to bother him either. But we were just informed of our grandson's presence lately. It is definitely William's fault that he didn't mention about it." Mrs. Lucia seemed to blame her son on this, but with full approval on the grandson she hadn't met yet.

Alexander didn't suspect her at all. Unlike those pompous rich ladies, William's mom was more polite and easy-going.

So he responded, "You can't reproach William for this, Mrs. Lucia. It was an accident. William didn't realize that he had a son either until a while ago. It was also hard for Vivian to bring up Roe alone."

"Really? So she didn't know Roe was William's son? How could Roe suffer with her? Did she think the Lu Family couldn't afford to raise a child?" Mrs. Lucia pretended to be displeased.

Alexander was stunned. He was worried after realizing what she meant.

He thought they were having a casual conversation rather than being fished by Mrs. Lucia.

Alexander had worked at the law firm for a long time; therefore, it was not surprised for him to figure it out.

For Mrs. Lucia to have a better impression of Vivian, Alexander explained in a hurry, "Vivian is not what you think. She is a nice girl. William was dating Miss. Angie all the time. All Vivian could do was to hide the existence of Roe. She wouldn't reveal it until Roe relapsed." Mrs. Lucia was confounded at the moment. She didn't expect the truth to be like this.

From what Alexander said, William seemed to be a playboy.

He didn't take responsibility for Vivian. When dating with Angie, he didn't learn about the existence of Roe either. Now he could just take Vivian home openly after knowing everything? Obviously William was a downright scumbag!

Women were likely to be impulsive sometimes, but they also knew each other the best. Mrs. Lucia was rational enough to judge William on these things.

William seemed to be irresponsible for either of them.

Noticing Mrs. Lucia's silence, Alexander started to talk again, "You will find out how nice Vivian is after you meet her, Mrs. Lucia. I think William still love her. It is all because of Miss. Angie..." "Well, I was afraid of him ending up alone. Now he turns out to be popular among women." Mrs. Lucia sighed.

Alexander suppressed something in his mind.

Miss. Angie might be the murderer who tried to kill Roe.

In the manor, Vivian woke up in a daze. Someone was talking on the phone. She was familiar with the aloof and gentle tone, but she wondered who was on the other side of the phone. Shortly, that man left with the door clicked.

Vivian struggled a bit, but she was too tired, drowsy and fell asleep again.

When she woke up for the second time, it was almost nine a.m.

She changed her clothes. By the time she went out, Roe was having breakfast on a chair.

"Why did you get up so late?" Roe looked at Vivian curiously.

Vivian thought Roe despised her for being late. So she turned to William with blames in her eyes.

William took a piece of toast and applied peanut butter on it slowly. He didn't notice Vivian's glance towards him.

Vivian's stomach yelped, as her energy was drained out last night. Too exhausted to argue with William at this time, she moved next to Roe with a hand on her belly.

A meal mattered the most for now.

Vivian dressed up casually with a bare face.

Roe was having his breakfast, his eyes fixing on her. After a while, Vivian realized it and tipped her head, "What happened? Is there anything wrong with me?" Why did he look at her all the time?

Roe spoke in hesitation, "Mom, Grandma is coming soon. Do you want to change your clothes?"

"Why do I need to... wait, who is coming?" Vivian goggled.

Roe glanced at William, and turned back to Vivian with an innocent look, "Dad told me that Grandma would arrive this morning. Do you know, Mom?"

She didn't know!

"William!" Vivian growled.

William pretended to pick his ears, and took a squint at Vivian, "Don't worry. It takes two hours for her to get here from the airport. You still have enough time to prepare." He then looked at his watch.

Vivian attempted to be mad and glared at him. At this time, arguing with William was just a waste of time.

Fine, she would hold the grudges for now!

Before leaving, Vivian's eyes betrayed her thought, which made William burst into laughter.

Roe tittered gingerly. He instantly restored his serious expression when William looked over. Roe popped his head, "Mom must be mad at you, Dad."

"Nothing to worry about!" William rubbed his head.

He beamed at the breakfast Vivian not finished.

Vivian was entangled and paced back and forth in the bedroom.

William had already prepared everything. She had a row of cabinets in her room, with latest clothing of different styles. One thing in common was that all these clothes were very expensive. She used to make a detour when passing by the exclusive stores. Now that she got a wardrobe of clothes, she felt unreal and nervous.

What kind of person was Mrs. Lucia?

Did she know about what was going on between William and her?

If Vivian met her and dressed up with expensive clothes, would Mrs. Lucia think that she came here with Roe just for William's money?

Thinking of these, Vivian stood in front of the wardrobe for a long time. She didn't move, with a tangled expression on her face.

The moment William came in, she was in her underwear. She peered at the wardrobe with her long face and blank mind.

"Tut-tut. My mom won't be kinky to see this. You will scare her." William touched her bare waist.

Vivian took the jacket off right after she entered her room. Now she only had a set of white underwear. Vivian was really annoyed when William talked to her. She gave him a ferocious stare.00
