Many children bring happiness, a shameless start

After about two hours of jumping around and playing, Lip returned to the room with Karen, Mandy, and Jessica.

"See, I didn't lie to you!"

They were lying on the bed, with their calves still covered.

"At first, I thought the bed was just a little too small, but I didn't expect it to be this small."

Jessica was the first to complain.

"It's just that now I can't even turn over, let alone four people playing games together!"

"Ah? What game?" asked Lip.

"Lip, have you forgotten that we were cosplaying at the Aman Hotel that day? Jessica played the stewardess, Karen played the nurse, and I played the bunny girl," Mandy explained, blushing.

"Oh, oh, I remember now. But I think it's better not to play that here. The space is too small, and you can't really move around."

Karen continued to complain. "Three people, seven-thirty?"

"Lip, didn't I just make a huge sum of money? Let's buy a house!" Jessica suddenly sat up, looking at Lip. "Because of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis, housing prices are still low! You can definitely buy one now!"

"Yes, how could I forget the subprime mortgage crisis? Jessica, thank you for the reminder!"

Lip sat up too, taking a deep breath and holding Jessica.

Then, he quickly got out of bed, opened his schoolbag, pulled out his notebook, and began searching for housing information near his home.

"Oh, buy it, it's so cheap!" Lip exclaimed.

"What's going on?" Mandy saw Lip's shocked look and came over to the computer.

"The house next door to mine... but it's only $30,000!"

"Lip, is that cheap?" Karen asked.

"In January 2008, I saw a for-sale sign in front of the house that said it cost $10,000."

"Wow, 20% off!" Karen immediately said, noting the house had depreciated by 80%.

"Lip, I think the price of $30,000 is negotiable. Maybe even lower," Jessica suggested.

"That makes sense. I'll ask tomorrow. If we can, we'll try to get it as soon as possible, then our family of four will have our own little nest!" Lip happily hugged the three girls.

"Lip, you're not an adult yet, are you?" Jessica suddenly asked.

"Yes! Jessica, you reminded me again that I cannot buy or sell real estate as a minor."

Lip just realized.

"Well, I'll buy the house, and you'd better send Karen and Mandy to school tomorrow," Jessica said understandingly.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Lip smiled affectionately.

"Lip, we are all family now! It will be my home in the future! Just think of it as my contribution to the family in advance!" Jessica held Lip's hand and rested her head on his shoulder with a sweet smile.

In truth, Lip felt a little conflicted inside.

He could see that these women were doing their best to plan for him and their future, but he was still hiding things from them.

It made him feel pretty shameless.

Mandy noticed the hesitation and inner turmoil on Lip's face and asked, "Lip, do you have something on your mind? Is it hard to talk about?"

"Lip, no matter what it is, you can discuss it with us!" Karen stared at him with her big, cute eyes, looking at him tenderly.

"Dear, we're all family!" Jessica's words touched Lip's heart.

It's said that behind a successful man, there's always an excellent woman.

Sorry, but I have three of them. And there may be more in the future! I'd better get used to it and aim for the best!

"Then I'll tell you the truth: all three of you are pregnant!" Lip said, meeting the expectant eyes of the three girls.

"What?!"

The three girls stared at Lip, dumbfounded.

The loud shout echoed throughout the Gallagher house.

"Lip, are you kidding me?!" Mandy looked incredulous.

"I would never joke about something like this," Lip said, his tone sincere and calm.

"Oh my God! I'm going to be a mother! I'm still happy!" Mandy hugged Jessica with a smile.

"Silly girl, we three sisters are going to be mothers!" Jessica also looked happy.

"Why are you so happy? Why am I a little scared?" Karen looked nervous.

Jessica and Mandy each held one of Karen's hands, saying gently, "Karen, we are with you!"

"Um!" Karen nodded.

"By the way, you're not opposed to having children, are you?" Lip asked weakly.

"Don't reject it!" the three girls said in unison.

Lip was deeply moved!

The three girls were still very young. If they said they loved children from the bottom of their hearts and wanted to have kids at such a young age, Lip wouldn't believe it. But it seemed they really loved him a lot!

"Dong dong dong~" There was a knock on the door.

Lip opened it, and Fiona immediately put her head in.

"What happened?!" Fiona widened her almond eyes, scanning the room.

"Fiona, we're going to be mothers!" Jessica shouted excitedly.

"What? It's just us! Who else is pregnant?"

"We're all pregnant!" the three girls said in unison.

"Oh my God!"

Fiona looked at Lip, her eyes practically murderous!

"Lip!" Fiona yelled impatiently. "What did you promise me?!"

"Fiona, plans can't always keep up with the changes! I now have the money to raise my children!"

"No matter what you say, the Gallagher family's bottom line cannot be breached!" Fiona said firmly.

"What about the $10,000?"

"No!"

"What about $38,500?"

"This…"

"What if it's $100,000?"

"If you really have it, then…"

Fiona hesitated.

"What?"

"Just treat what I just said as nothing!"

"Hey-hey! Thank you for your understanding, sister!"

Lip instantly felt that what he just said was true: many troubles in this world only happen for one reason—not enough money!

Although Fiona curled her lips and poked Lip's head with her finger, her expression had calmed.

Lip looked at everyone in the house with a silly grin.

Ian and Carl exchanged glances, as if to say "brother, you're awesome."

Jimmy gave a thumbs-up.

Debbie was so shocked that she stood there with a confused expression on her face.

Of course, the three beautiful girls were holding Lip with happy, smiling faces.
