Chapter 2259: Late Autumn in the Golden City (Part 12)_2

"Then would he betray me and leave me?"

"That depends on if you give him enough love. It's a pretty tough challenge. Of course, even if you give enough, he might be curious about this, which I think you can't allow."

Talya had a strange feeling, envisioning this scenario, she felt anger and sadness, which was very irrational. Reasonably, she should be open-hearted to let her child meet his father, there's nothing shameful in that.

"See, that's what I'm talking about, now you feel the hormone influences more authentically." Pamela shrugged, "It will only get more extreme."

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

A smile finally appeared on Pamela's face. Talya knew this meant some sort of manipulation had succeeded--this damn lunatic was just waiting for her to ask this question.

"If you need to give an answer to a certain question, the best outcome is not to know."

"You mean…"

"You can totally tell your child that you don't know who his father is."

"But how can I not..."

Talya froze, as if she had suddenly thought of something.

"Many at the same time, or different ones in a short span of time," Pamela explained, "so you don't know who is the father and neither do they, nor will the child."

Talya stared at Pamela and said, "You are crazier than I thought."

Then she began to consider the feasibility, and finally had to admit, those lunatics of Gotham were ingenious, this could perfectly solve the problem of the child's paternity.

The child is definitely born to the mother, so who delivers him, that person would be his only mother. But the father is different.

At the exact moment of conception, neither the father nor the mother is visible, let alone the child knowing it. Paternity tests can usually only eliminate some possibilities among multiple options. If you want to find the right answer at once, the probability decreases with the increase in the number of people, and usually not everyone will cooperate.

So, the real owner of the child is only the mother. Neither the child nor the possible father can give an accurate answer.

"But I don't have that many reliable options." Talya frowned, "I can't lower my standards because of this because I indeed need an outstanding heir. At least, he must have the competence to take care of himself, so the genes issue is very important."

"But there are more choices than you think." Pamela started counting her fingers, "Bruce Wayne definitely counts as one, and then there is Clark Kent, and also the equally smart and wealthy Lex Luther. That's three already."

Talya felt a bit dizzy. She massaged her temples and said, "Okay, even if I choose these three, how can I…"

"Just ask."

"Huh?"

"Anyway, you have a shot at succeeding. We don't have to tell them, just gather them together."

"I was asking how I can gather them…"

Pamela forcefully knocked on the table, interrupting Talya, then said grudgingly, "Listen to what you're saying? What do you mean by 'how can I gather them together'? Do you lack confidence in your own attractiveness and charm?"

"You're a woman, and a beautiful one at that, that's enough. I really don't understand why you would assume they wouldn't want to do this. Would it harm them in any way?"

Talya gawked, Pamela had once again shattered her assumptions about the craziness of Gothamites within two minutes.

"But... okay, even though I don't think this thing could restrain me, they should have basic morals, right? Both Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent have girlfriends…"

"Then invite them as well."

"Pff!" Talya spat out a mouthful of juice.

Then she glared at Pamela viciously and said, "This is your aim, right? How could I be naive enough to believe that you didn't have designs on Selina!!"

Pamela responded with a brilliant smile.

Then they sat to the left and right of Bruce Wayne, with Pamela's first words making Talya want to bang her head on the table.

"We're thinking of having a foursome with you and Selina, how about it?"

The more unbearable thing for Talya was that Bruce didn't even act surprised for half a second and said, "Absolutely not."

"Why not?" Pamela asked justifiably.

Bruce snorted coldly, staring at Pamela and said, "You get along so well with Selina, why don't you ask her?"

"She is too hard to deal with."

"So you're leaving the opportunity to be scratched by her to me? You're such a good classmate."

Despite being rejected by Bruce, Pamela did not get discouraged. She dragged Talya out of the market and found Clark and Diana at a plaza near the dock.

Clark knew Pamela, as did Diana. Clark was surprised about Diana's relationship with Pamela, but Diana explained, "He went to the Kent farm for some agricultural market before, and it was thanks to Pamela that it ended up being resolved smoothly. His analysis of the Metropolitan Area's agricultural production and sales in an article persuaded Diana's leader to drop his unrealistic ideas."

They chatted happily. Clark asked Pamela where she came from, to which Pamela fluently answered, "I just came from Bruce's place. I wanted to ask him for a favor, but he wasn't very willing. I was thinking of having you convince him."

"What kind of favor?"

"Actually, Talya and I…"

Then Clark was dumbfounded when Pamela spent three minutes explaining what exactly they planned to do.

He repeated incredulously.

"So the actual situation is, Talya wants to sleep with Bruce, Selina would never agree, you want to sleep with Selina, and Bruce would never agree either, so you two plan to have a foursome with Bruce and Selina?!"

Diana had already begun to facepalm.

"And you came to me because you think I'm also good, intending to let me persuade Bruce, and considering that you, Talya, Selina, and Bruce are all attractive, you want me to join you guys in a fivesome??!!"

Clark felt his mental state under unprecedented assault, he instinctively looked at Diana.

"No, don't bring this up with me, it will overly stir up my homesickness," Diana defenselessly waved her hands.

"Actually," Talya added, "it's a sixsome, Lex is also not bad."

"Seven people," Pamela took over, "I know you have a girlfriend, a hot journalist."
