Chapter 5 The Reward
Looking at the children lying on the bed, Michael couldn't help but gently poke the face of one of the children with his fingers. Then he quickly took his fingers back, as if he got shocked by electricity. The main reason was that the child was too young. He was afraid of hurting the child.
It was so tender and cute!
Looking at this, Michael could not help but feel a sense of happiness in his heart. Were they really his own children?
Then.
Michael pulled a hair from each child's head and wrapped them up separately.
"What are you doing?"
Catherine looked at Michael and frowned. She had a rough idea of what was going on.
Michael didn't beat around the bush. He shrugged helplessly and said, "I have to confirm it."
Catherine frowned again when hearing his words, but she didn't say anything this time.
"Is the child hungry?"
Michael came over, pulled a hair from the head of their second child who was held in Catherine's arms, and asked at the same time.
The child cried and cried. Although Catherine held her in her arms and tried to soothe her, that didn't work. The child kept crying.
"She's not hungry. It's not time to feed her yet."
Catherine shook her head and frowned tightly. There was an anxious look in her eyes. No matter how hard she tried to quiet the child in her arms, it just didn't work. "Can I give it a try?"
Michael looked at the child who was held in Catherine's arms, and said with a smile.
"You? Do you... know how to take care of children?"
Catherine looked at Michael, her eyes filled with shock and doubt.
"Don't look down on me. I'm known as the king of children. I'm quite popular among children. Whether it's a few months old or a few years old, it will like me." Michael said with a smile. Saying this, he walked straight over and stretched out his hand. "Give the child to me."
Catherine looked into Michael's eyes. His bright blue eyes were filled with tenderness for the child.
Her heart softened in an instant, and she handed the child over to Michael.
Michael carefully took over the child. He held the child's head, back and shoulders with one arm, and held its butt with the other. Then, he began to shake and soothe the child gently. "Baby, baby, oh, oh, don't cry. Daddy is here."
Michael held the child in his arms and said softly. He looked at the child with tenderness in his eyes.
It was strange that after being comforted by Michael, the child did not cry anymore. She blinked the bright and dark eyes, and the little pink face was full of curiosity. Her little hands were still waving slowly, as if it wanted to catch Michael.
It looked so adorable.
As Michael looked at this adorable child, his heart softened once again.
Seeing this scene in front of her, Catherine's beautiful eyes widened.
She tried to sooth the child for such a long time with failure in the end, but she became so quiet in Michael's arms. Was it their blood ties? There was a connection between them.
The child seemed to be able to recognize Michael, although she was quite young.
"See, I said I could handle this." Michael looked at Catherine with a smile on his face.
"It's really strange. This child doesn't like strangers. She cries when held by the nanny. She only allows me to hold her. Today, I comforted it for a long time but still failed to make it happy. But when she's in you arms, she just quiets down."
Catherine looked at the child and then looked at Michael with a strange expression in her eyes.
"Beep!"
"Congratulations. You've succeeded in soothing the child once. You'll be rewarded with 50,000 dollars! The dollars had been transferred into your bank account through a safe channel, please check it in your bank account!"☐☐
