Chapter 176: How deep is the love?

Is that how she taught the child?

At this moment, as a man, Michael Gordon was utterly convinced by Ivy Aretha’s open-mindedness. To be able to teach a five-year-old child to be so well-behaved and sensible, she was not an ordinary woman!

Michael looked at her, his eyes slightly moist, finding it hard to imagine the courage it took her to tell these words to Bianca Aretha. Such an open-minded woman was rare in history!

Michael admitted that he was inferior!

How fortunate he was to marry her in this life!

And how fortunate he was to have conceived a child this adorable with her!

"Ivy..." When Michael said these two words, he felt a mixture of emotions, his voice trembling. At this moment, anything he said would be redundant!

"Bianca is right; adult matters have nothing to do with children, and a child doesn’t get to choose their father!" Ivy understood Michael’s inner feelings, as well as the words stuck in his throat. "The past you’ve missed is gone, but I never thought we would meet again and that I would marry you again!"

Maybe this is fate!

Or perhaps it’s destiny!

"Fortunately, we met again, and fortunately, you married me!"

Otherwise, Michael would never have known that he had been so fortunate to have met such a kind and generous woman, who silently gave birth to such a lovely daughter for him!

Michael’s handsome face was covered with a deep color, and his eyelashes were moistened with dewdrops.

"Daddy, don’t be sad!"

Bianca was still just a child. Her small head peered around Michael’s neck, and when her gaze fell upon the glistening, transparent tears in the corner of his eye, she was frightened. Had her own words and actions hurt Michael? She hurriedly kissed his cheek and continuously apologized, "Daddy, baby was wrong, please don’t be sad!"

In the end, Bianca was almost in tears!

"Bianca!"

Just as Michael was about to explain something to the little one, Ivy’s clear voice interrupted him, addressing the tearful Bianca, "You try crying another one!"

"Mommy, did baby do something wrong again?!"

Bianca wanted to cry loudly to stop Michael’s sorrow but was stopped by Ivy’s words. Bianca’s urge to cry subsided, and she ceased making a fuss. Her big, black eyes stared at Ivy, still a little afraid of her.

At any time, doing anything, as long as Ivy called her name loudly, she would quickly behave.

"Baby didn’t do anything wrong; mommy was wrong!"

Ivy looked at the little one, her face full of grievance and restraint, the corners of her eyes tinged with sourness. Today was supposed to be a good day, and the family had finally come together, which should have been a happy event. However, they all seemed to want to cry!

Now that she and Michael were married, and the little girl particularly liked her biological father, it was apparent that they had a good relationship. Ivy could feel Michael wanting to tell Bianca several times that he was her biological father!

But out of respect for Ivy’s words, he hadn’t said anything since she hadn’t given him the nod to do so!

Now that the media was reporting Ivy and Michael’s sudden marriage registration, it was only a matter of time before Bianca was discovered to be their child. The Gordon family’s opinion was unclear, so instead of having someone else force her to find out, it was better to tell her now that her biological father was none other than the Michael Gordon she had always liked!

"Mommy, what did you do wrong?"

Bianca looked at Ivy’s somewhat solemn expression, her eyebrows furrowed with emotions she couldn’t understand. The innocent voice was filled with confusion, "How could mommy do something wrong?"

In Bianca’s world, Ivy was like a god, omnipotent and infallible. Her words were the absolute truth and couldn’t be wrong!

But suddenly one day, her god told her she was wrong. In addition to surprise, she couldn’t believe it.

Michael watched as Ivy struggled to walk towards him and immediately spoke up to stop her, "Don’t move!"

With that, he immediately scooped up Bianca with one hand and supported Ivy with the other, waiting until she was seated on the sofa before sitting down next to her with the child in his arms. Both the young and old kept their eyes fixed on Ivy’s opening and closing mouth.

"Mommy, are you in a lot of pain?"

Bianca noticed that Ivy had difficulty walking and immediately thought of the news report from that day. She knew her mommy must have been in pain, but she had decided not to ask about it when she arrived. Yet, she couldn’t help but speak up.

"Mommy isn’t in pain!"

Ivy laughed softly, shaking her head, and reached out to Bianca. Delicate, fair fingers touched the little girl’s chubby cheek, "Actually, he... he is your biological..." The words ’father’ hadn’t come out when Bianca suddenly remembered something!

"Mommy mommy, there’s something baby hasn’t finished saying, I want to say it now!"

Ivy’s deep, lingering gaze reminded her of something.

"What is it?"

Michael’s face darkened!

He understood that Ivy was about to tell the little one the truth about her biological father, but the child had other thoughts at this moment. Probably only a child would be so unconcerned, not guessing what others wanted to say, and just thinking about their own ideas!

"Daddy and mommy, earlier, baby said that we should discuss the matter of having a child early. Baby thinks it’s necessary for us to have a family meeting!" The little girl spoke very seriously.

Ivy: "..."

She had already given birth five years ago; would it still count as early if she were to give birth again?

Michael: "..."

This baby girl was such a handful, wanting to have a family meeting about having a child early on their wedding night. Mr. Gordon thought this idea went beyond his usual way of thinking.

"Bianca, if we’re going to have a baby, it’s me who’s going to give birth. What kind of family meeting are you going to have with your daddy? Neither of you is giving birth!" Ivy was angry. Giving birth was her business, and one of them was just enjoying the process while the other was watching the show. What right did they have to join a family meeting about having a child?

Michael: "..."" Wife, are you sure you can do it alone?

Bianca: "..."" Mommy, you are too fierce. From now on, having a baby will be your sole responsibility!

"Mommy, our family meeting is not about who’s going to have this child, but..." The little one tilted her head, leaning against Michael’s chest, her neck twisted as she thought for a while before finally saying, "It’s about discussing baby’s position in this family!"
