Anna's words surprised Scrooge, some time ago, he was a little careless, now it's okay, make a hair, right? However, for a wealthy man, having an illegitimate child is actually not a big deal. It's just that Scrooge is still staring at the halo of "patriotic model" and "moral model" above his head, and suddenly an illegitimate child appears, which is not good, especially since the United States is still a Puritan country, and the requirements for family ethics have always been stricter than those in Europe. Think about it, when Scrooge was in his last life, US President Clinton just did something he liked with a female intern, and he was tossed and before he was far from making a little hair, and the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi at the same time was to show the whole Italian people that I had a new mistress younger than my granddaughter, and thought that this would increase his support among the Italian people. When French President François Mitterrand was asked about his scandal or any political influence, he actually replied, "This fully shows my charm, and the people will like me more because of it." When Clinton saw it, he probably only drooled with envy.

And as a "moral model" living in the nineteenth-century United States, there should be no such problem as illegitimate children. If it appears, it must be covered up and must not be known to others. For example, Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the United States, had five illegitimate children with a black slave girl. But these illegitimate children, Jefferson absolutely did not recognize, and neither did the Jefferson family. This matter was dug up by Jefferson's political opposition at the time, but in the end, unable to completely get rid of suspicion, Jefferson simply pulled his nephew out, let his nephew come to be a happy father, and admitted to the media that this was his illegitimate child. However, even if it was confirmed that the children were of Jefferson origin, they were not entitled to any of the Jefferson's wealth.

In such a situation, of course, Anna was very worried. As a wealthy man, Scrooge would definitely not marry a woman with no background (river crab) scenery and no identity. Therefore, his children can only be illegitimate children, and illegitimate children have no right to inherit the family property. And this illegitimate child may also have an impact on Scrooge's reputation, so she doesn't know what Scrooge will do with her and her child. Therefore, he is full of unknown fear for himself and his child's future.

"Anna, don't worry, I'll take care of this." Scrooge comforted her. For the Jefferson family, which has a large number of people, such a thing as an illegitimate child is purely superfluous, but for the sparsely populated MacDonald family, any child with the blood of the Macdonald family is extremely precious, even if it is an illegitimate child from an improper background! Like the Jefferson family's direct kicking out of the illegitimate child, it will never happen in the MacDonald family.

Seeing that Anna still looked uneasy, Scrooge said: "Anna, you know, the MacDonald family is different from other families, and what we are most lacking is children with MacDonald blood. At all times, a child with the MacDonald's family blood is priceless. So, you don't need to worry about your child. ”

"Scrooge, but...... Could it be ......" Anna's eyes began to glow. Could it be that Scrooge would have recognized the child and given her a title that she had never thought of before? This picture is so beautiful that Anna doesn't dare to think about it anymore.

However, the ruthless man, with the words that followed, immediately shattered one of her fantasies.

"Anna, I'm just going to wronged you." Scrooge wrapped his arms around her and gently stroked her lower abdomen with his hand.

"I'm fine...... Ah, Mr. MacDonald, what do you say? Anna didn't understand Scrooge's words at first, thinking it was just a general comfort, but she immediately came back to her senses and asked in horror.

"In the future, this child may become the heir to the MacDonalds, but he won't call you Mommy. Anna, I've wronged you. Scrooge replied in a very gentle voice.

Anna understands that the soap bubble that is so beautiful that she can't even think about it has burst, and girls from poor families will inevitably have some Cinderella dreams, but in reality, even if Cinderella meets the prince, she will never become a queen, at most, but become a disgraceful mistress of the prince. Anna already knew this, but who could guarantee that she would never dream?

Anna shook her head, as if trying to sober herself up, and after a while, she whispered, "Mr. MacDonald, are you going to get married?" Will I still be able to see him in the future? ”

"How can I get married now?" "At least for now, there aren't any suitable people to marry, you know that." As for the child, how could you not see him? Well, that's what I thought. Anna, there's news you may not know yet. Carol's wife, Catherine, also happened to be pregnant. I don't think there will be much difference in the timing of your production. So, I'm going to declare that Catherine gave birth to twins. This way, your child will have a legal identity. He would also become the rightful heir to the MacDonald's fortune. As for you, Anna, I can arrange for you to come to our house as a housekeeper. So that you can always watch our children grow up. Anna, what do you think of this? ”

Tears welled up in Anna's eyes, she didn't say anything, what could she say? Although she gave birth to the child, she has no say in this matter. She also knew what would happen if this kind of thing was born in some other rich man: the mistress was still the mistress, and the child might become the servant of the legitimate young master in the future. Seriously, Scrooge's solution couldn't have been more benevolent in this era. What else could she say? So, she just grabbed Scrooge's hand tightly, silently shedding tears.

……

Of course, Scrooge couldn't have said it alone, and he had to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Carol, the child's nominal parents, about it.

In the afternoon, when they returned home, Carol was walking in the garden with Catherine, for Dr. Menger's team told them that pregnant women also needed a certain amount of activity.

"Carol, Catherine, hello." Scrooge walked over to greet them.

"Scrooge, you're back!" Carol replied with a smile on her face.

"Let's go over there and sit down." Pointing to a bench over there, Scrooge said to the Carols, "I have something to discuss with you. ”

Carol and Catherine glanced at each other, then Carol nodded and said, "Okay, let's go talk about it." ”

……

"You're saying Anna is pregnant, and the baby is yours?" Carol said in a low voice.

"Yes." Scrooge replied briefly, Carroll's gaze making him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you sure that kid is of MacDonald blood?" Carol then asked.

Hearing this question, Scrooge immediately understood that Carroll's way of thinking about problems was actually very similar to his, they were all the same, and they were all thinking about the importance of a child with MacDonald family blood. So he replied:

"Of course, how could I not find out about such a thing? You know, where Anna is located, there is access to some of the company's secrets. People like this are under our surveillance all the time. We are in control of her every move. Therefore, this child is in the blood of the MacDonald family, I am absolutely sure of that. ”

"So......" Carol was about to speak, but felt a hard pinch on the waist, and he turned his head to see Catherine glaring at him. So Carol went on to say:

"Well, well, Scrooge, how can you make such a mistake as a Christian?" Carol straightened her face and began to criticize Scrooge, "This is dishonest behavior, it is contrary to the sacred doctrine and the teachings of Jesus Christ, I am really ashamed and sad for you, think about it......" Carol has seen a lot of things in Europe over the years, a young man like Scrooge, if there are no one or two mistresses in Europe, it is simply to make people wonder if there is a problem with his ability in some aspect, so when Scrooge sues him, After making his female secretary's belly bigger, Carol was not too surprised, he had seen a lot of such things in Europe, and even some clients would directly sue him, "The person who gave me the carriage is my illegitimate child" or something like that. His current rebuke was actually just for Catherine to see.

Catherine, a European and an aristocratic woman, has seen more of such a mess than Carroll, in fact, she has only met Anna a few times as soon as she arrives in the United States, and she can basically determine that Anna is Scrooge's mistress. So such a situation was completely within her expectations. In her opinion, Scrooge's little thing was nothing at all. But, the hateful thing is that Carol didn't show any disgust at such a thing. What does this mean? Doesn't that mean Carol doesn't think it's a big deal to have a mistress outside or something? Although, in Europe, this is indeed not a big deal, but in front of the pregnant wife, he expresses the attitude that since a man is rich, it is not a big deal to have a mistress, which is really ...... In any case, it cannot be tolerated!

But Catherine also knew how important a child with MacDonald blood was to the family. Scrooge's solution was the one that best served the family's interests. For the sake of the family, this establishment is in fact impossible to refuse. So, after her husband's "righteous and awe-inspiring" performance was enough, she stopped her husband and said, "Carol, if young people make mistakes, God will forgive them, so don't blame Scrooge." I think Scrooge's solution is a good one, and I have no objection. But I have one request, and that is, Anna, never claim to be the mother of that child. ”
