Chapter 21 I Told You Not to Be A Playboy
"You're my wife. It's nothing."
Michael smiled, and suddenly turned the topic, "You just said I am your husband. I am so glad to hear that."
Catherine gave him a supercilious look.
She did know Michael 's characters and tempers. He was just joking. So she just said, "I am just taking you as a shield."
"Well, you are so straightforward."
Michael got wordless.
"But Michael, you beat Alfred today. He will definitely do something to you. I got you into trouble again."
Catherine turned into a somber look.
Alfred Jones was the son of the boss of Jones Construction Company, Wallance Jones, who was also a big client of their firm. This man was even more narrow-minded than his son.
Now that Michael had beaten his son, Wallance would definitely go after him.
Hearing Catherine explaining all these to him, Michael replied unhappily, "Now I've to deal with his father."
"This kind of things really happen a lot."
"Michael, never mind. I'll handle it." Catherine hesitated for a while and finally said.
She really wanted to thank Michael. After all, he was protecting her.
Most importantly, Michael was still the father of her seven little babies.
She could not see their father being bullied but did nothing.
"Don't worry, it's just a construction company. There's nothing I can't deal with." Michael didn't take her words seriously.
"Michael, they are not what you think..."
"Alright, Catherine. I'll take care of this and just leave it alone."
The conversation was interrupted by Michael. He just started to look for something on his phone while driving and dialed a number. Catherine looked at him confusedly.
A cheerful voice came out of the phone, "My brother, you finally call me! What's the matter? I told you that you can call me for anything." Listening to this, Michael couldn't help smiling but said, "Don't ever say that again! I got a problem here, so I need your help."
"Well, you are such a master even when asking for help."
The man was into a mood but soon asked, "Just tell me what happened."
"That construction company... What's the name again?"
Michael forgot the name. He turned to Catherine. She replied in a low voice, "Jones Construction Company."
"Oh yes, Jones Construction Company. Do something. This damn boss's son is hooking my children's mother."
Michael was shouting.
"Got it, just a construction company. It's all on me. And you said your children? Shit! When on earth did you have children? I told you not to be a playboy. Now you're in trouble." Realizing what he is going to say, Michael hung up in a hurry.
He turned to Catherine, only to find her glaring at him.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
