Chapter 22 Explanation
Seeing that Catherine looked at him, Michael knew that it was bad.
'Damn it, I let the cat out of the bag!'
"Michael, what did that man mean by saying that?" Catherine's cold voice came over, and the coldness of the ice beauty returned to her face.
"Well, he just said that he will help me deal with that construction company."
"You know I'm not talking about this. I'm talking about your being a playboy!" Catherine's expression was cold, and her pretty face was already covered with frost.
She had once dated with the man in front of her, but she did not know she had been deceived.
This was unbearable for her.
"Ahem... that's all in the past. Let's not talk about it."
Michael smiled awkwardly, and then looked ahead. He began to drive the car seriously, wanting to avoid the topic.
Catherine looked at Michael, frowned slightly, and said, "Michael Johnson, I know, I can't meddle in your affairs. However you have to be clear that you are now the father of the seven children, so you must take the responsibility. I hope you can tell me what happened to you."
"Moreover, as the mother of the children, I also have the right and obligation to know what kind of person the father of the children is."
Upon hearing Catherine's words, Michael's brows furrowed slightly. He fell silent.
After a long time, he spoke.
"Well, I will tell you what happened before and now. But I have to say this first. What I am going to say doesn't mean what I am now. I just want to share my life to you."
"I, Michael Johnson, am a responsible father. My children will still be my children. This will not change no matter what."
Hearing this, Catherine silently nodded her head and didn't say anything more. She just waited for Michael to speak.
In the end, Michael told them what he had done in the past, and, of course, he told her his identity as the only legitimate son of the Johnson family. Later, his family failed, and he fell from the clouds to the bottom.
Hearing his words, Catherine's beautiful eyes widened, and her attractive little mouth opened slightly. She couldn't speak for a long time.
After Michael finished speaking, he fell silent.
Hearing this, Catherine remained silent as well.
The two fell into silence again. After an unknown period of time, Catherine opened her mouth and said, "I don't want to fuss about the past. I only know that you are now the father of the children." Upon hearing this, the corners of Michael's mouth curled up.
This woman, after knowing that he was the young master of the wealthiest family in New York, did not deliberately flatter him. While after knowing that his family failed, she did not teased at him either. Now, her attitude towards him was clear when she called him "children's father".
At least she was willing to recognize him.
Michael knew that if he really wanted to pursue Catherine again, it was quite likely that she would accept him.
However, he didn't want to do it on purpose. He just wanted to go along with the flow.
As for whether they could be together or not, it would depend on God's will.
A dozen minutes later, they returned to the apartment.
When they came back, it was still very quiet at home. There was no sound of children crying. Only the babysitter, who had been hired, was busy. "Nancy."
When Catherine returned home, she greeted the middle-aged woman in front of her.
When the woman heard this, a smile instantly appeared on her face. She looked at Michael and Catherine and said, "You're back. I've just finished feeding the children. Don't worry, everything goes well." "Yes, I'll have to trouble you, Nancy." Catherine nodded her head slightly and smiled.
"It's fine. You offer me such a high salary. If I can't do such a thing well, there is no need for me to be here."
"Now that you're back, I'll take my leave first. By the way, remember that Kid Number 2, 4 and 5 haven't changed their diapers yet."
"Okay, I got it, Nancy. Take care."
Catherine nodded slightly with a smile and watched Nancy leave.
