Chapter 90 Thinking about Having a Child
Francis remained silent. His gaze fixed on some distant point, and he was lost in thought.
"What are you two talking about?" Michael came over, plopping down beside Lester.
Lester smiled and said, "We're talking about younger sisters. How about you, having fun?"
Michael chuckled, "Of course, Mr. Landau, do you have some great news today? You've asked so many chicks to accompany us for drinks. You never used to do that."
Francis cast a glance at him and said, "I asked them to accompany you, don't waste them."
Michael said, "What do you mean 'don't waste them'? I'm still a pure-hearted young man!"
Francis chuckled softly and ignored him.
Lester couldn't resist saying, "Really? You're always clamoring for younger sisters, and now you claim to be pure-hearted. It's hard to believe, isn't it?"
Michael blushed., and he said, "Of course! You think I'm just like you, pretending to be all sanctimonious on the surface but sneaky behind others' backs......"
Michael realized that he said too much and something was wrong halfway through. He quickly covered his mouth.
Lester raised his eyebrow, glancing at Francis from the corner of his eyes.
There was a sly smile playing on Francis's lips, with a hint of menace.
Michael hurriedly tried to put the words back, "So, Mr. Francis, did you quarrel with that Julian? Is that why you came here to relax?"
Francis retorted, "Why? Do I have to have a quarrel to come here and relax?"
Michael scratched his head. He didn't know what to say for a while, "Huh...... That's not true."
Francis indeed acted strangely tonight, although Michael couldn't quite pinpoint what was odd.
Lester intervened and tried to defuse the situation, "You are a pure-hearted virgin. You don't understand the adult's affairs, so don't inquire blindly."
Michael's face turned more blushed, and he glared at Lester, "You're the pure-hearted virgin one! I meant the pure-hearted young man!"
"What's the difference?"
"Of course, the former is physically not good, the latter is not in love, do you understand?"
Lester smiled and shook his head, choosing not to retort further.
Then he suddenly remembered something and semi-playfully asked Francis, "You are also not young, don't you think about having a child?" NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Francis responded dryly, "What do I need a child for?"
This response left Lester momentarily stumped. He contemplated for a while and said, "Your words are not quite right. A child is the continuation of life, a source of hope and connection. Why you think having a child is for something?"
"Connection......" Francis seemed lost in thought, "Isn't it just an impediment?"
"Mr. Francis, how can a child be an impediment? A little one like that, what can he impede you? You see you're married, but you don't have a child. It's not a complete family."
"Don't you feel a little envious when you see someone else's family of three?"
Francis didn't speak. Lester didn't know what Francis was thinking.
Michael pulled Lester's sleeve, saying to his ear, "Mr. Sachs, why is Francis acting so strangely tonight?"
Lester moved the corners of his mouth and didn’t answer Michael.
Lester saw Francis did seem odd tonight.
It wasn't like the result of a quarrel with Julian. Otherwise, he might drink heavily rather than sitting here lost in thought.
He didn't drink all night.
Moreover, when they discussed the topic of having a child, Francis did not seem to be so disgusted. He lost in contemplation, thinking about many things, but it wasn't a dislike for a child.
Lester asked further, "What if Lilian accidentally gets pregnant? What would you do?"
