Chapter 199 Strangle Me Again
Ivy pushed Leo aside and then said, "But raising children is a tremendous undertaking. It's difficult for others to raise just one child, and here I am, having to raise six. Can you imagine the financial and emotional resources it will require? Even their biological father doesn't want to raise them. Are you truly willing?"
"Absolutely." Leo nodded repeatedly.
"Until they turn eighteen?" Ivy inquired.
"I'll take care of them for a lifetime," Leo replied.
"Do you realize how much money that will require?" Ivy's expression showed concern.
"No matter the amount, I will work hard and earn it. I won't let you and the children suffer." Leo assured, patting his chest.
In an instant, Alexander's face turned pale as if he had fallen seriously ill.
"You're truly wonderful. Then let the children recognize you as their godfather," Ivy said, waving her hand toward the six little girls. "Come here. This is Leo, your godfather. He's willing to care for you throughout your lives. If you ever need money, just ask your godfather."
Godfather? Alexander's discontent diminished considerably.
As a godfather? Leo was taken aback. He never thought about assuming such a role.
"Godfather?" The six little girls looked up, wondering what it meant.
"Mommy, what's the difference between a godfather and a father?" Molly asked curiously.
Ivy pondered for a moment. "One is biological, the other is chosen later, but regardless, both are fathers. When they grow old, they deserve the same respect and care."
"I see." the six little girls quickly understood.
One by one, they gathered around Leo.
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
"Godfather!"
The six heartless little girls completely ignored Alexander's dissatisfaction.
Leo happily embraced the children. Being their godfather was enough for him. He felt content being their godfather.
As for everything else, he would take it step by step.
"Ivy!" Alexander's expression was extremely complex. "You're introducing your ex-boyfriend as the godfather in front of me? Where does that leave me?"
"Who are you, anyway?" Ivy's face turned serious as she questioned him.
"I... I'm the children's biological father!" Alexander pointed to himself, but his tone lacked conviction.
"Evidence?" Ivy extended her hand.
Damn it, she wanted more evidence! Alexander's face turned even uglier.
"You have no evidence? Well, I do!" Ivy hastily walked over to the counter and retrieved two paternity test reports. "Here, take a look!"
Leo curiously picked up one of them. "Confirming no biological relationship?" He couldn't believe it. He then looked at the other report and found the same result, bursting into laughter.
"Alexander, your true colors are showing, aren't they? You lied to me, claiming that Ivy's children were yours! How is that possible? You know, these six children are clearly adopted by Ivy. She hasn't even been married, so how could she have given birth?"
Adopted? Alexander's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. It seemed that this situation was also possible!
Alexander immediately asked, "Ivy, are these children really adopted by you?"
Ivy frowned. How come this man jumped to conclusions so easily?
Just because there was news about a human trafficker on TV, he assumed that she kidnapped the children. Leo suggested that the children might be adopted, and suddenly he asked if they were adopted.
It was incredibly infuriating!
"Who are you to come to my house?" Ivy pointed to the door, her gaze sharp. Though she didn't utter the words, everyone knew Ivy was telling Alexander to leave.
"Ivy!" Alexander reached his limit, almost losing his temper but managed to hold back.
"Ivy, I apologize for my past actions. Please forgive me." Alexander gritted his teeth, afraid of accidentally losing his temper.
"Are you sure you're here to apologize? Because it feels like you're here to strangle me." Ivy covered her neck, speaking with a hint of fear. "You came to apologize in the afternoon and nearly choked me to death. And now you're apologizing again. Are you planning to strangle me again?"
