Chapter 1225
I think it's time for me to leave. Mikhail stood and said, "I won't force you then, Natalie."
Natalie nodded.
A smile appeared on his countenance. "I really like Sophia, and I want to meet your other children.
However, I don't have enough time today. Can I... visit you like today next time? As a normal person? I want to meet them and play with them, even if it's just for a little while."
His request prompted her to recall the scene of Sophia playing with him earlier. Sophia seemed to enjoy her time with him, and he appeared to only have affection for her. He didn't at all look like a king earlier.
After thinking about it for a while, she found no reason to reject him. "Sure, you can visit US as an ordinary person. Maybe my children will have bright futures ahead of them, but for now, when they're still young, I hope they don't get too much attention."
Upon receiving Natalie's permission, Mikhail relaxed. Just thinking about meeting Sophia and the other children in the future excites me!
As he stepped toward the exit, he began imagining what his next visit would look like.
Before he left, he said, "Natalie..."
Turning around, Natalie asked, "What's the matter?"
Mikhail hesitated for a moment before shaking his head with a smile. "It's nothing special. I just want to bid you goodbye."
She waved at him. "Goodbye."
Then, he left with Brody.
After walking for a while, Brody heard a very long sigh, turned his head back, and saw his king looking dejected.
Mikhail didn't just want Natalie to bid him goodbye.
What he really wanted was for her to call him "Father." However, when he recalled what she told him, he felt like he didn't deserve to be called as such.
