Chapter 4 Possibility for me

not possible. When he fnished saying that, he let out a loud laugh and I waited while he had fun at my expense. - Just by looking at the expression on your face, I can already imagine how you intend to have a child without getting involved with any woman – Oliver pointed out and I was sure that he really knew what

was going on in my mind. It was Douglas's turn to stop being funny and bring a serious expression to his face.

and frown in visible displeasure. - Like this? – he asked, probably starting to deduce what was going on. -

That's exactly what you're thinking - I confrmed his thoughts. – I intend to hire a woman to produce my heir

and I hope to count on the help of my lawyer to assist me throughout the process. - What do you have in mind, exactly? – Oliver asked. My friend's attitude now was that of a professional and what he was wanting to know concerned the conditions for which I wanted that agreement, as he would need to draw up a contract.

that would protect me from any future problems. I then explained the conditions that I would like him to add to the contract that would be signed between the parties, where I would be fully assured of my rights as a father and legal guardian of the child that was yet to be created. I also asked that in addition to drafting the

contract, my friends would be responsible for fnding a woman willing to bear my child, but that she accept.

that this would be her only role in this story. After birth, she would hand over the child to me and disappear forever, giving up any right to the child she created within herself. I didn't want the woman to know under any

circumstances that she was signing this contract with me, as she could end up spreading the story, even publishing it in the media, in search of notoriety. I wanted that matter to stay exclusively between us. - To

recap: the woman will donate her eggs and bear the child for nine months, while you will only provide the semen. And even then she will have no rights over the child – Douglas asked, looking incredulous. He was about to explain to him that this was something completely legal under American law, when Oliver did just

that, but in legal terms. - Still, I think it's very unfair – Douglas said. – And in addition to drawing up this contract that only benefts you, Oliver still has to fnd someone who agrees to play this role? - This type of

agreement is increasingly present in modern society, Douglas – Oliver reinforced. "I don't agree with the form.

chosen by our friend, but I can understand the way he is thinking." "I can't expose myself at all," I made that point clear, since Douglas was so bothered. - What do you think, Oliver? "Do you want me to respond as a lawyer or as a friend?" "I await both aspects of the question," I said promptly. Regardless of the opinion of my

friends, I would not be demolished from that idea under any circumstances. It was something that had been maturing in my mind several months ago, but I frst had to solve company issues, leaving everything

organized, because I wanted to have time for my son when he was with me. - Legally, you're not doing.

anything wrong. It is possible to do as you wish – Oliver explained his professional opinion. - And my friend Oliver, what do you say? - I believe this is not the best way to bring a child into your life – he said and seemed.

sincere. – I would like my friend to have a family and for a son to come along just to add to it. I thought about.

Oliver's own situation and it was difcult to contain my expression of pity, since he seemed to be the only one who couldn't understand that his own wife, Martina, was a viper and didn't seem to love the daughter he had

at all. they had, little Eloá. Douglas and I had already tried to alert him to that fact, but he seemed enchanted by his wife, not realizing that she had an attitude in her presence that did not match the person she actually.

was. When she was in front of her husband, Martina spoke with a thin and sweet voice, pretending to love her daughter. But we had already seen her without Oliver around and she was extremely mean, treating her

daughter with real contempt. I didn't want to go through something similar and there was no way I was going.

to put myself at risk like that. In addition to my own experience, I could also follow my friend's. - I really

appreciate you being sincere in your positions – I said. -But you will do what you want and how you want –

Douglas was correct. They had been my friends long enough to know that nothing could sway me from an idea once my mind was made up. - Can I count on your help? - If it's decided, all we can do is help him, then.

– Oliver said as he got up from his chair, pulling me into a "man's" hug. - That's it, my friends – Douglas said.

day. Coming home and having a child, who would be cared for and loved by my aunt, just as she had raised me, would be a wonderful feeling and I was sure it would bring new vigor to my monotonous life. - I'm glad

you're here, Brian – Aunt Melanie greeted me when she saw me enter the living room of the apartment where we lived, in an upscale area of ​New York. - Good night, auntie. I kissed her on the cheek, after dropping the folder on a random armchair, throwing myself onto one of the sofas in a dark green tone that went very well.

that my aunt hadn't had dinner yet, I picked up my briefcase again and hurried towards the stairs that led to the second foor of our triplex. I didn't like it when she chose to postpone her dinner time to wait for me. - I'm

going to take a shower and be right back down. I took a quick shower and was soon back in the living room.

We went together to the dining room, the place where we liked to have our meals, despite it being a table that easily seats twelve people and it being just the two of us. I loved my aunt, because she was always by my side, supporting me at all times, even when she didn't agree with my actions. - Have you told the boys about

your decision? The "boys" were Douglas and Oliver, who she treated as if they were still just two teenagers and not two men in their thirties, as they actually were. - I gathered them together this afternoon to tell them

- Given her questioning expression, I understood that she would like to know more than that. – They both do not agree that this is the best way, but they will help me in this endeavor. I had decided that this was the time

but I did not want to get married in any way. I didn't even want to have a long-term relationship, as I was more than satisfed with only being superfcially involved with the women who caught my interest. My encounters

were limited to sex and I had no intention of changing that, much less involving a child in the equation. I could.
