Chapter 442 Time to Have a Child
Even Michael wouldn’t be able to notice anything amiss.
Michael inspected Christopher from head to toe before he reluctantly gave in. “Come to the study with me. We’ll continue our conversation from where we left off yesterday.”
When Michael called Christopher to the study the previous day, he gave him a severe reprimanding. As for now, their talk would depend on Christopher’s 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, “Do you remember our conversation yesterday?”
Christopher immediately responded, “I do.”
Even though Michael’s scoldings typically went over his head, the reprimanding he had received yesterday was so severe that he couldn’t just brush it from his mind.
Luckily enough, Michael didn’t make him repeat it and inquired instead, There isn’t anyone in Riverdon who is interested in you. Are you still keeping in touch with the young lady of the Coolidge Family?”
Christopher’s heart rose to his throat, and he hurriedly explained, “Dad, after that Coolidge boy offended the Shelton Family, I was scared that she would drag us down the mud with her, so I’ve already ended things with Jane.”
In the short amount of time he had, this was the best excuse he could come up with.
Michael stared at him dubiously. “Didn’t Jonathan say that he sent you back because you offended the young lady from the Shelton Family?”
Christopher was rendered wordless.
How could he have forgotten about that? The good thing was that he was still able to save the situation.
“Dad, Florence has set her
on Jonathan and wants to use me to manipulate him, which
is why she said that I offended her…”

Really? Michael furrowed his brow. “So you’ve already broken up with Miss Cool you’re going to graduate soon, it’s about time you start finding a wife.”
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 Michael’s question
meant, and he mulled over it for a moment before replying, “Dad, Jane and I really are over. Also, I don’t have any plans for marriage as of now.”
He wasn’t 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.
“No plans?” Michael was dissatisfied with his answer. “Find a fitting marriage candidate as soon as possible. If you can’t, I’ll do it for you.”
As he spoke, he felt that he was being too stern and continued, “Find someone to get tied down to, then have a child for your Mom to take care of. She’s always talking about how bored she is at home.”
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 motive–she 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 other’s arms, Fanny’s 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 Fanny’s 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, “Fanny really is the person he likes, but I don’t know why the call won’t get through…
Florence did not reply, but Harley, next to her, said under her breath, “Maybe she’s sleeping.”
When she didn’t get a response from Florence, Harley proposed softly, “Miss Shelton, why don’t we try calling her again tomorrow? We…”
Jane chimed in, “We’ll make sure to bring Fanny to you!”
