My dear lawyer

Chapter 321 Dad, I Am still Young

Hearing that Roe had come back, William was happy. It could be seen from his unwrinkled eyebrows,

which he himself did not notice. He had some unutterable affection for this kid. “OK.”

OK? That was all? Roe thought, with his lips curling a little. “My dad does not know how to keep a

conversation going. Talking like that will just end a conversation. Well, it will be better if I could start a

conversation.”

“Uncle William, do you have something to tell me?”

As a matter of fact, he hoped to say something like “Daddy, are you missing me?”

But he felt embarrassed, so he didn’t do that.

Pausing for a while, William asked in a deep voice, “Are you and your mother OK recently?” not

knowing why he asked.

“We are OK.” Roe answered mechanically, not getting William’s implied meaning in his words.

William continued asking: “Did your parents treat you badly?”

“No. They are not living together, but they will probably see each other soon.” Roe responded smirking,

not knowing what William was thinking about.

“If they divorced, why would they see each other again soon? Were they serious about their?” William

thought after hearing this, with his eyebrows squeezed together.

But he knew that any kid would hope their parents could live together.

“Is your father having an affair?”

He thought that Roe’s mother must be blind to fall in love with such a bad guy, and made her own child

suffer with her. Since there were so many good guys outside, why did she just put all her eggs in one

basket?

“This is right.” Roe could not help sighing when thinking about it. He particularly wanted to ask the man

on the other side of the phone. But after a second thought, he felt it was inappropriate now. He could

just wait until the day after tomorrow.

He must seek justice for his mother. If his dad was indeed having an affair, he would take his mother

away from his father, without any hesitation.

But mom would engage with Uncle John soon, what should he do? This was a really difficult question.

William thought Roe was in a dilemma as to whether he should make up with his irresponsible father,

and said, “A man should shoulder the responsibility of the whole family, and cannot make those who

care about them caught in a dilemma due to his selfishness.”

Dad, I was still a kid! Were these words too heavy for me?

Roe suddenly could not utter any word, thinking “Do not make those who care about you be caught in a

dilemma? What do you mean? Do you mean that I should not take my mother to see my ‘dad’? What if

you know this dad is yourself? Will you feel face slapped?”

“Uncle William, I know that. I hope my father thinks in the same way.”

William felt these words had some implications, so he asked, “Do you need my help?”

As Roe was about to answer, he heard someone knocking on the door. He hastily covered his phone

with his little hands, then he heard a slightly worried voice: “Roe, what are you doing inside?”

“Mom, nothing! I will go out soon.” Roe had to raise his voice.

Vivian noticed that there was no anomaly in Roe’s voice, she felt relieved. “OK, remember not to sit for

too long.”

“OK, Mom.” Waiting for Vivian’s footsteps to be far away, he dared to put his hands away from the

phone. “Uncle William, I cannot talk to you right now. My mom is calling me.”

“OK.” William heard a Woman’s voice. But he could not hear it clearly due to the closed door on the

other side of the phone. He had a strange feeling that the woman must be someone he knew.

But he felt that it was impossible. If yes, he should remember her.

“Who could that be?” He thought, eager to know who Roe’s mother was.

Roe had already hung up the phone and opened the door, thinking “What a breathtaking phone call! It

would be terrible if dad hears mom.”

“Roe, who are you talking to on the phone?” Vivian put a plate of fruits in Roe’s room when he went to

the bathroom.

Roe pretended not to know who that was, answering: “It was someone who called the wrong number. I

just wanted to go to the bathroom.”

Vivian was not misled by his innocent big eyes, reaching out her hands directly to him and said, “Then

it would be OK for me to have a look at it.”

“Absolutely OK! As you like.” Roe smiled, with his white teeth shown, and gave his phone to Vivian

obediently.

He knew that his mother would see nothing at all, because it was just a cinch for him to delete all the

call records and hide some phone numbers. He definitely inherited it from his father.

Vivian could not find anything doubtful from his phone. But just because of that, she knew it was

suspicious. She took his phone away, pretending that there was nothing at all, and said, “Go and eat

some fruits.”

“Mom, my phone...” Roe said with a pitiful look.

Vivian slightly shrugged her shoulders and said: “It is confiscated.”

She would like to know who just called her son.

“How can I call others if I do not have a phone? What should I do if I feel sad? What should I do if I

encounter something dangerous?” Roe tried to play pathetic and gain her sympathy.

Vivian walked away, without looking back, and said, “I remember the phone I bought for you is not this

one!”

What she bought was a phone for children, which could only be used to call and receive a call. But this

one was much more advanced. It must be Selina who bought it for him.

No wonder he was better with smart phone than she was.

Next time she saw Selina, Vivian must tell her not to buy these things for him.

“Mom, no!” Roe thought that if his dad called again, the connection between him and his dad would be

exposed.

Holding his phone in front of him and waving, Vivian attempted to induce him to say who the caller was, Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“If you tell me who called you just now, I will give it back to you.”

“It was someone who just dialed a wrong numbers...” Roe lowered his head, not daring to look into

Vivian’s eyes, and touched his ears subconsciously.

Seeing this familiar little action, Vivian did not know whether to be angry or happy.

“If it were someone who called a wrong numbers, how come there is no number at all?”

“Well, well...” How did he forget such an important thing? But he could not speak his father’s name out.

His black eyes rolled around, and an idea came to his mind.

“It was aunty. She says that she will accompany us to the hospital tomorrow.”

“Really?” Vivian thought that it was probably Selina. This phone was an important tool for them to keep

in contact.

Roe nodded hastily, “Yeah, Aunt said so.”

He prayed silently in his mind, hoping that his aunt was not silly. Otherwise, his image of a well-

behaved boy in his mother’s mind would be destroyed.

“I get it. I can return this phone to you. But you cannot lie to me next time. Do you understand? That is

not an action by a well-behaved kid.” Vivian educated him.

“Mom, I am sorry.” Roe admitted his fault immediately in a well-behaved manner.

Seeing that he admitted his fault with such a good manner, Vivian touched his small head and said

gently: “Be a good boy. Go to eat some fruits first and put your phone down.”

“OK.” Roe responded in a clear voice, with his two legs running towards the table.
