Chapter 107 - 107: This guy is more sincere than Michael Gallagher
This was, after all, a matter of their generation, and he ultimately couldn’t interfere.
“l don’t care much.” After finishing her dumpling, Molly Walker picked up an orange and began to peel it. “If you feel that I have lost face, you can also announce to the public that I am pregnant with another person’s child, which would put us in an equal position.”
“What are you talking about!” Daniel Thompson’s face darkened even further, suddenly realizing something, he asked, “Are you pregnant?!”
She had shown some signs when he tried to arrange a “blind date” for her last time. Could it be that he had forgotten about it and…
Under the scrutiny of everyone present, Molly Walker nodded.
Amanda Leaford was the first to react.
“Oh, you’re pregnant. I guess I’m going to be a grandmother!” Amanda Leaford stood up with joy. This delight also brought immense happiness to Daniel Thompson.
Amanda is right, a new younger generation will join the family, which is ultimately cause for celebration.
Watching their father changed his face quickly, his sons turned their faces away, pretending not to see it.
Only Joshua Thompson focused on the key point.
He looked at Molly Walker skeptically: “Who is the father of the baby?”
If it was Michael Gallagher, he would definitely beat him to death today.
Molly Walker’s hand that was peeling the orange paused for a moment. If they found out that the child was Michael Gallagher’s, they would probably turn the world upside down. She was prepared to severe relations with the Gallagher family anyway. It would be better to avoid causing trouble before the birth of the child.
She opened her mouth, the voice was cold as ice: “It’s not his.”
Damian Thompson took a glance at her but remained silent.
Josuha Thompson widened his eyes after hearing it: “Not his? Then whose it
When he heard it was not Michael Gallagher’s, his anger towards Michael
Gallagher ebbed at once.
So whose child was it?
Molly Walker was also perplexed by this question.
How should she respond to this?
She believed that if she mentioned any man’s name at this moment, she would be forced to marry that person tomorrow.
Because of this, she was at a loss and didn’t know what to say.
Just as she was distressed, a man descended from upstairs, he softly said, “It’s mine.”
Everyone, including Molly Walker, turned to look at the stairs. Jeremy Norman, dressed in a long windbreaker, descended the stairs with charm and elegance.
Only then did everyone remember that there was still an outsider in their house.
Since the day he recognized his relatives, he had been living with them.
Upon hearing him say that the baby was his, angry stares fell onto him all at once.
Feeling the atmosphere, Jeremy Norman hurriedly added, “What I mean is, 1 can be the baby’s father.”
“If Miss Thompson doesn’t want to reveal it, she must have her own difficulties, but a child can’t be without a father. 1… I don’t mind having more children since I like children anyway.”
Everyone: .
They had seen people happy to be a father, but never someone so eager to become one.
Molly Walker laughed awkwardly, her smile stiffening: “Mr. Norman, please don’t joke about such things. This news could tarnish your reputation.”
“l don’t care about reputation.” Jeremy Norman looked at her with complicated feelings. Molly Walker’s pregnancy came as a surprise to him, but he never cared about things like reputation.
As long as she was willing, he had the courage.
After he finished, the room quieted down so much that one would be able to hear a pin drop.
At this moment, Daniel Thompson also started to examine Jeremy Norman. Compared to Michael Gallagher, he felt that Jeremy Norman seemed more responsible.
Especially when it came to fatherhood, whether he was sincere or had other motives, it showed that he could be flexible and adaptable, a man capable of achieving great things!
With this thought in mind, Daniel Thompson started to like him more and more.
The admiration in his eyes made Molly Walker feel uneasy.
Jeremy Norman making such a declaration to willingly become a father was not acceptable to her, even if he truly agreed, she wouldn’t accept. It wasn’t fair to him.
“Mr. Norman, thank you for being willing to sacrifice so much for us, but this is not appropriate… and moreover, I’m not keen on starting a new family with someone else at the moment.” Molly Walker gave a courtesy smile, her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings, rose gently and then fell gently, lightly touching Jeremy Norman’s heart like a feather.
Her words were an outright rejection. Any ordinary person would have given up at this point, but he was no ordinary person.
He came here precisely for her.
“Don’t rush to refuse me just yet,” Jeremy Norman said, looking at her with affectionate eyes. His eyes were like crystal clear lake water, deep and filled with gentle tenderness. “A child can’t be without a father. Whether it’s going for prenatal checkm ups or sending the child to school, the position of a father is crucial and irreplaceable.”
Jeremy Norman’s voice was soft. It resonated like a hammer striking the string that had been hanging in Molly Walker’s heart.
No matter how much she deceived herself, the fact that a child couldn’t be without a father remained.
However, this did not mean she could randomly find a father for her baby. It would be irresponsible to everyone involved.
She had just been hurt in a previous relationship and wasn’t eager to jump into another one so soon.
“May I ask you a question?” Damian Thompson adjusted his glasses, his smiling eyes squinted, and his voice was gentle. “What’s your reason for wanting to be the father of my nephew? Is it to establish a marriage alliance with the Thompson family or do you really like my sister?”
Everyone turned to look at Jeremy Norman, only Molly Walker blushed in embarrassment.
She didn’t expect that Damian Thompson, who was usually mild-mannered, would ask such a pointed question.
How was one supposed to answer that? Neither answer was good.
Damian Thompson smiled like a crafty fox.
Everyone knew that Jeremy Norman’s recent visit to Sunnydale City was to choose a noble family to forge a marital alliance with, and his stay with them was certainly purposeful.
These days, Jeremy Norman had almost declined all his engagements outside.
Apart from going out with Molly Walker, he mostly spent his time in his room working.
He had already made his conclusion in his mind and just wanted to confirm it himself.
Jeremy Norman’s lips curved upwards, and he looked at Molly Walker and smiled. His handsome face elicited feelings of warmth and affection. Under the gaze of everyone present, he confidently admitted, “Yes, I like Miss Thompson.”
“Why?” Joshua Thompson sneered and lifted his chin, “Don’t tell me it was love at first sight.”
Although he found Jeremy Norman pleasing to the eye, one couldn’t treat marriage lightly. In his opinion, Jeremy Norman was a little lacking for his sister.
No matter how handsome, one couldn’t eat good looks.
These days, the number of socialites that used different pretexts to visit their home was more than the entire previous year combined. Thinking carefully, it wasn’t hard to guess who these women were here for.
“I won’t lie to you. I saw Miss Thompson for the first time when I was fifteen years old. At that time, I was being bullied, and she helped me. Since then, I remembered her, but I didn’t manage to find her all these years until I saw her on the news.” Jeremy Norman narrated leisurely, when he mentioned the part about her saving him, an image flashed in Molly Walker’s mind.
It was probably when she was in Junior High School. She saw someone stealing money from a boy, who was reportedly a transfer student from a neighboring school. Although no one dared to cause trouble at school, such things always happened outside of it.
Molly Walker squinted her eyes at Jeremy Norman. His face gradually merged with the one from her memories.
She only intervened to help him a little, she didn’t expect that he would remember her after all these years.
“l like Miss Thompson.” Jeremy Norman smiled sincerely, his handsome brow and eyes sparkling, “If given the opportunity, I’d like to take care of her for the rest of her life.’
Both Daniel Thompson and Amanda Leaford were somewhat moved by his words. Not only them, even Joshua Thompson found himself at a loss for words.
This guy was definitely more sincere than Michael Gallagher!
