"So that makes it our fifth option? Good."
"Katherine and I will come have a look at them when we arrive. She should be able to have a favorite amongst the five and if you find any other properties that beats this one, feel free to inform me." Oliver said to his best buddy, Jack Philips.
"Sure, dude."
"But hey, are you really sure about this?"
Oliver rolled his eyes at him over the phone. Not caring that Jack could not even see him.
"I'm fucking serious, dude. Your decisions are beginning to look like you know it all but trust me, it's not easy as it seems,"
"What do you know about being a family man?" He said rather calmly to his best friend.
"I have a kid, remember? You should take me as your role model and even consult me before making all these decisions."
"So you are making fun of me now?"
"Of course, not. I just don't think you are ready. For someone like you that has always detested the idea of getting married and all, three children is a lot dude!"
"Perfect, so you're suggesting that I should abandon them?"
"Oh no...Stop making me seem like the devil here. Everyone knows you're literally married to your job. The only fun you have outside of your job is going to the club and of course, womanizing. Can you even do without that? Wait? Does Drea know about this? What's going to happen to her?"
"It's not too late to rethink this, dude. You can just let them stay back there, support your baby mama by sending her money from time to time and when you're less busy, you can travel to see them."
"That way, you would still have your life together, oversee the company, and be with as many babes as you want."
"But why are you all thinking so low of me?"
"Low of you?!" Jack bluttered out, feeling confused.
"Yeah I know I don't have a good history but I thought making a decision like this will make you all proud of me? Not that I care about you guy's opinion anyways."
Oliver had always taken everything in life as a competition. To him, it was either you are on the winning side or the losing team and the latter did not appeal to him. Every time people said he couldn't do something or achieve something. He always took it as a challenge to supersede their expectations.
"Proud of you? Of course, I am but I think we need to be realistic here. How would you even cope?"
"Katherine seems to be really innocent. She might have issues with you if you aren't faithful to her. I know you, Ollie. I know what you're capable of. Are you sure you can stick to one woman for life and are you sure you're ready to be a full-time Dad? Kids can be really annoying and demanding. You don't have one but three of them."
"I see that you all really underrate me."
"Don't talk that way. No one is underrating you. You just have to be ready for what you're signing up for."
"You probably wouldn't understand my reason for this but it's fine. This is what I want and I'm going to go for it."
"Cool. You've got my support. I can't wait to meet Katherine and your kids. You are about to keep all of Australia's media busy. You've just broken the heart of a million ladies."
"Yeah, about that. It's been taken care of. No one will know anything unless I'm ready to reveal the truth."
"Makes sense."
"Yeah, I have no problem with it because they would know eventually but I need to respect Katherine's privacy and also that of my children. They are moving to an entirely new place and the least I can do is to provide them with good security."
"Yes, I get you. You've done the right thing."
"I'm really surprised about your decisions but I'm rooting for you and I hope it works out best for you. Let me know if I can be of help in any way."
"Yeah, thanks," Oliver mumbled.
"One more thing," Jack mumbled, before Oliver ended the call.
"You know I love you so much and I would do anything for you but please don't make me a godfather." He said in a rush.
Oliver couldn't help rolling his eyes.
"I heard one's friends are mostly godparents but I promise you that I'm not ready."
"Dude, I'm already useless enough. Why the hell would I make you godfather to those innocent children."
Jack sighed in relief. "Just saying."
"I will reach out to you if I need anything."
Just as Oliver was about to end the call, a knock came through.
"Yes, come in." He had no idea who it could be but he was hoping that it was Katherine or any of the maids coming to inform him of Katherine's presence since it was almost 4 pm and he hadn't seen her or heard from her and the children.
"Here comes the bride."
"And why do I feel you are not happy to see me?" She said as she took slow steps towards him, with her heels clicking against the tiled floor.
"I didn't say so. Maybe because I was hoping it would be someone else at the door."
"Yeah, Magda told me about that. Thank goodness you're putting on clothes today. Can I at least have a hug?"
Beatrice hugged him before he could even decide.
He smiled, returning the hug and they both sealed it with a friendly kiss on the cheek.
