Chapter 002: Becoming a Father

He does not know what others think about being an unexpected father, and he is also unsure of what thoughts are considered correct. Looking at this daughter dressed in a princess gown, resembling a porcelain doll, he just wants to hold her.

At a quarter past nine, amidst Liu Heming's complex emotions, his legendary wife led a group of people charging over.

Jack nodded and said, "If you can relinquish custody of the children, I believe they will make some concessions regarding the compensation. This matter requires your own consideration; I will not offer any suggestions."

Could you first sign a supplementary agreement, and then initiate the divorce proceedings after Dexter obtains his green card and is no longer subject to investigation by the immigration authorities

He first spoke in Chinese, and then repeated it in English to Sasha and her lawyer

Long hair, black in color, cascades down the back. A lock of it is tied up, playfully swaying at the back of the head. The chubby little face carries a hint of baby fat, and a pair of eyes, dark and bright, are embedded in the child's face like two gemstones

"Jack, marriage can be dissolved, but custody cannot be relinquished. I can also forgo any financial claims they may have," Liu Heming said as he suddenly stood up and faced Jack.

In that case, you will need to frequently travel back and forth between China and the United States each year, which will impose a significant financial burden on you. You must consider this carefully.

No problem, no problem, as long as I can stay and see my daughter, I can agree to anything they ask. Moreover, you tell her to clearly state the value of that ranch in the agreement, and I will return it to her in the future. Liu Heming readily agreed.

"OK, I will not act aggressively; I just want to see the child." Liu Heming nodded.

"Jack, can you be sure that this is my child? Could it be that she had a child with someone else? Because I have no recollection of the past at all," Liu Heming said with a frown.

If there are no children, this is simply a minor issue. However, if it involves children, it becomes a significant matter, one that cannot be resolved merely with money

May I? Liu Heming asked Sasha after stretching his hands a couple of times.

Your wife will provide you with a ranch as the foundation for your life in the United States. However, there are conditions: even without a divorce, you can only see each other once a month, and you must contact her in advance. They also need to assess your living environment there

In fact, he really has nothing to do with it; it is all Jack communicating with them. The pace of speech is very fast, and Liu Anran only clearly heard the figures of four hundred thousand dollars and three hundred fifty thousand dollars, which he speculated were part of a negotiation.

His gaze was also drawn to his legendary wife. Wearing sunglasses that obscured her eyes, he did not recognize the brand of her clothing, but it appeared to be of high quality, and her overall presence was exceptionally powerful

In his heart, there remained a small glimmer of hope, which was whether this daughter-in-law could take off her sunglasses, allowing him to see what she truly looked like. Or perhaps, could they take a selfie, so that he could at least show it off when he returned, as this could be considered a legendary experience after all

I hope that when you see Alex, you do not act impulsively Although it is somewhat awkward, what Sasha said was in Chinese

Sasha and her lawyers were discussing, but Liu Heming could not hear clearly. In fact, even if he could hear clearly, he would not care. Because all his attention was focused on that small figure.

After a brief pause, Liu Heming looked at Sasha and said, "I can divorce you, but you need to help me obtain residency in the United States. I will not interfere with your normal life, but I need to be able to see the child regularly"

I do not know if this is possible," Jack said.

He has not yet started a family, and now suddenly having this child has left him somewhat flustered. He does not know how to make a choice; he only knows that he cannot make a decision impulsively. Otherwise, he might regret it for a lifetime

Jack's complexion was also not good, but he still turned his head to look at Liu Heming, "There has been some situation. At first, they did not clearly explain the detailed information to me, and they also wanted full custody of the child."

"Jack, please wait a moment regarding this matter," Liu Heming said with a frown

Liu Heming furrowed his brows; this economic burden is truly beyond his capacity to bear

Liu Heming nodded slightly, feeling a mix of emotions within. He was very afraid, worried that there might be some conspiracy involved. Yet, there was also a hint of happiness; although he had little memory of her, she was, after all, his legally recognized wife.

The current version of myself is no longer the person who used to waste time, but rather a father who has a child, and I must take on this responsibility.

Given Liu Heming's current proficiency in English, he truly cannot remember the name of the law firm. They arrived on the sixteenth floor, where all the comings and goings were dominated by foreigners. Even some of the women exuded a fierce demeanor, displaying a strong presence.

There is a result. They can do it, but a stable residence period of two years is required, during which the immigration bureau will not continue to investigate. Moreover, during these two years, you must have a normal tax payment record said Jack

Although he does not fully understand these matters, he instinctively knows that once he signs this agreement, he will never see this potential child again.

Dexter, Dexter, Liu Heming. Jack called out a couple of times, and upon seeing that Liu Heming did not respond, he then called out his Chinese name

However, upon seeing Jack carefully examining the agreement handed over by the opposing lawyer, Liu Heming furrowed his brow, feeling a sudden jolt in his heart, realizing that there was something amiss here

His words were not spoken quickly, but Sasha understood them. However, the question raised by Liu Heming was somewhat difficult to handle

The trace of fear in the child's eyes just now has already pierced the softest part of his heart. Even if he cannot find a suitable job here, even if it means doing hard labor, he must stay.

In just about ten minutes, Liu Heming felt a great deal of torment. This time, a group of people had come over, and Liu Heming knew that his child was among them.

Liu Heming crouched down and waved at the little girl who was sizing him up. However, even though she was his own daughter, she did not give him any regard and hid her small body behind Sasha

He imagined for a moment that this wife should not have changed much from the appearance in the photo, but rather added a kind of mature beauty. He was quite doubtful about how he had "married" such a somewhat proud wife back then

Sasha across the way took off her sunglasses, and Liu Heming also saw her true appearance; those blue eyes were truly captivating

In the child's previous four years of life, there were no personal imprints, but he does not wish for the child to similarly lack personal imprints in the future. This is his own child, and regardless of his abilities, he must protect her, watch her grow up, and see her get married

Sasha furrowed her brows and nodded

It was not as often described in novels, where one feels an immediate connection upon seeing their child. However, Liu Heming had already determined in his heart that this was indeed his daughter

Arriving at the law firm in Jack's car, this law firm is indeed quite large. According to Jack, it is the second largest law firm in the western United States, occupying the 15th to 18th floors of this building

"Oh, just give it to them, it doesn't matter," Liu Heming waved his hand. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly reacted, "Wait, what did you say? Child? What child?"

"Please wait a moment, the other party will arrive shortly. Do not respond directly to the questions from their lawyer; I will explain everything to you in detail, and then you can choose how to respond," Jack said as he led him into a moderately sized conference room.

You have a daughter who is four years old. They require full custody of the child, and the condition they offer is three hundred fifty thousand US dollars, with no requirement for you to pay any child support

Sasha whispered a few words to her bodyguard, who then looked at Liu Heming for a moment before taking out his phone to contact someone outside

"It can be confirmed that it is indeed your child. I just suggested whether it would be possible to meet the child, and they agreed. You can consider your options after meeting the child," Jack said as he looked at him after the conversation.

Liu Heming nodded vigorously; his mind was very chaotic, but he had to see this child

There is no mistake; it is indeed a team. Judging by their demeanor, at least four of the people following are lawyers, and the fifth is likely a bodyguard for a wealthy young lady. In any case, Liu Heming feels that as long as his "wife" gives the order, this bodyguard could tear him apart.

Is there a result? Liu Heming turned his head and asked

Jack began communicating with the opposing lawyer again. Liu Heming could not understand what they were saying and did not care to know. The only person he could rely on now was Jack

Are you saying that on that day we not only got married, but also had relations, and now we have a child together? My understanding is correct, isn't it

This issue will become quite complex. Even if you have custody of the child after your divorce, the court will not grant you custody of the child, as the disparity in the impact on the child's future happiness between both parties is too significant.

Now he also understands why so much effort was made to summon him here, it is all for the sake of child custody. Their hope is that he would be fond of wealth and could abandon this child

Sasha McGill merely glanced at him twice after entering. In his perception, he could not tell whether she actually looked at him or not. This was because she was wearing sunglasses, and the aura of her team had already left him in awe. The only silver lining was that it somewhat eased his mind; his wife was indeed serious about divorcing him.

This is the only solution he could think of; if he could obtain a green card, it would be convenient for him to see his child whenever he wanted while being in the United States
