Chapter 442 Time to Have a Child Even Michael wouldnât be able to notice anything amiss.
Michael inspected Christopher from head to toe before he reluctantly gave in. âCome to the study with me. Weâll continue our conversation from where we left off yesterday.â
When Michael called Christopher to the study the previous day, he gave him a severe reprimanding. As for now, their talk would depend on Christopherâs performance that day. As Christopher had done relatively satisfactorily, Michael would not focus on criticizing him either.
Teresa felt slightly worried upon hearing this, but she did not have the habit of interfering in important issues. Therefore, in spite of her worries, she kept quiet and watched as the two men went up the stairs.
Meanwhile, Christopher followed Michael anxiously.
Upon arriving at the study, Michael asked, âDo you remember our conversation yesterday?â
Christopher immediately responded, âI do.â
Even though Michaelâs scoldings typically went over his head, the reprimanding he had received yesterday was so severe that he couldnât just brush it from his mind.
Luckily enough, Michael didnât make him repeat it and inquired instead, There isnât anyone in Riverdon who is interested in you.
Are you still keeping in touch with the young lady of the Coolidge Family?â
Christopherâs heart rose to his throat, and he hurriedly explained, âDad, after that Coolidge boy offended the Shelton Family, I was scared that she would drag us down the mud with her, so Iâve already ended things with Jane.â
In the short amount of time he had, this was the best excuse he could come up with.
Michael stared at him dubiously. âDidnât Jonathan say that he sent you back because you offended the young lady from the Shelton Family?â
Christopher was rendered wordless.
How could he have forgotten about that? The good thing was that he was still able to save the situation.
âDad, Florence has set her on Jonathan and wants to use me to manipulate him, which is why she said that I offended her...â
1/4 Her 440 Time to by framing things in this way, Christopher successfully Really? Michael furrowed his brow. âSo youâve already broken up with Miss Cool youâre going to graduate soon, itâs about time you start finding a wife.â
As time went by, Michael came to the realization that Christopher was genuinely a lost cause. Christopher was letting him down continuously, but shifting the expectations he had put on him to Jonathan, a child who was a reminder of his previous mistakes, was also a tough choice to make.
This led him to grow the urge to place his hopes on a grandson who was even born yet. Even if Christopher was still single, a fact that lowered the chances of him getting a grandson even further, it would not stop him from focusing on this future grandson of his.
Meanwhile, Christopher was unable to wrap his mind around what Michaelâs question meant, and he mulled over it for a moment before replying, âDad, Jane and I really are over. Also, I donât have any plans for marriage as of now.â
He wasnât completely against it, but the woman he had originally planned to marry no longer held the same weight in his heart.
After all, he just could not stand the fact that Fanny had already been defiled by another man.
âNo plans?â Michael was dissatisfied with his answer. âFind a fitting marriage candidate as soon as possible. If you canât, Iâll do it for you.â
As he spoke, he felt that he was being too stern and continued, âFind someone to get tied down to, then have a child for your Mom to take care of. Sheâs always talking about how bored she is at home.â
As he was used to being firm, he did not leave Christopher with any other options even then.
However, Christopher, who was bewildered at first, had a realization at that moment. In a rare moment of shrewdness, he became aware that his father did not only want him to find a partner, but instead, he wanted him to have a child as soon as possible.
Have a child?
At that thought, Christopher no longer resisted Michael and agreed flatly.
With that, the father and son exited the study, each of them carried away in their own thoughts.
On the other hand, in Northland, Fanny never received a call from Christopher. The longer she waited for him to call her back, the more frustrated and irritated she felt.
Just as she was getting extremely annoyed, Kaydron suddenly called her. Even though she was feeling peeved, she had no choice but to reply.
Chapter 442 Time to Have a Child Upon finding out that he was asking her out to his place again, Fanny finally caved. She only had one motiveâshe was planning to secretly delete the photos before making her way away from Northland.
At first, she had sought Christopher out with the intention of asking him about the current situation in Riverdon. And yet, he did not pick up the phone, nor did he call her even after a long wait on her end.
As midnight struck, although Fanny did not succeed in finding a chance to deceive Kaydron into telling her his password, she learned of his scheme to hurt Angela, and she egged him on in spite of her worries.
In the end, after receiving her encouragement, Kaydron took his men to kidnap Angela the following day. As per their agreement, Fanny was required to introduce him to the people from the Collier Family once he was done.
After she consented, Kaydron gleefully embraced her, and they ended up spending the night. While they were entangled in each otherâs arms, Fannyâs phone rang next to her, but she did not get the opportunity to pick up.
At the same time, Jane was left speechless as she continuously dialed Fannyâs phone. As the phone continued to ring without a response, she began to break out in a cold sweat.
However, as Florence was still eyeing her watchfully, she could only continue calling Fanny, She explained, âFanny really is the person he likes, but I donât know why the call wonât get through...
Florence did not reply, but Harley, next to her, said under her breath, âMaybe sheâs sleeping.â
When she didnât get a response from Florence, Harley proposed softly, âMiss Shelton, why donât we try calling her again tomorrow? We...â
Jane chimed in, âWeâll make sure to bring Fanny to you!â
Florence inclined her head crabbily. âFine, bring her here tomorrow.â
Once Florence and her men took their leave, Jane and Harley finally let out a relieved sigh. As the two exchanged looks, both noticed the anxiety and despair in the otherâs gaze.
While the rest were buried in their worries, Angela was focused on reading her book. As night descended, a quiet settled over their surroundings.
Jonathan stayed by her side as well, and the two were silent except for the occasional turning of the pages.
âItâs bedtime,â he reminded her.
Chapter 442 Time to Have a Child Hearing that, Angela let out a yawn and settled into his arms.
45 Free Coins Jonathan tenderly carried her in his embrace and left the book on a shelf nearby before leading her back to the bedroom.
When the night went by, Angela woke up to the sight of Jonathan gazing at her with affectionate and tender eyes.
Once the two freshened up and finished their breakfast, Jonathan took Angela to Northland Medical University as usual.
After the news about Kaydron and Fannyâs entanglement, Angelaâs personal bodyguards became even more vigilant than usual, and they stayed close to her even after she had bade. farewell to Jonathan.
Oliver, as usual, remained by Angelaâs side.
They never expected anyone to be idiotic enough to start trouble with this level of security, but to their surprise, someone did exactly that.
However, before Angela could even get a look at them, Oliver and the bodyguards had already subdued the suspicious individuals.
