Xu Mo looked at Rick, Sean and Lori calmly and continued:

"Lori has a child now, but you can't confirm whose it is. I have a suggestion. Since Rick and Lori are husband and wife, Rick will be the child's biological father for the time being. Sean, you can be the child's godfather, or even let Carl recognize you as the godfather." His tone was calm and organized, as if he was methodically explaining a well-thought-out plan.

"What's a sugar daddy?" Sean asked, his brows furrowed slightly, confusion written all over his face. His eyes revealed his curiosity about this unfamiliar term.

"It's similar to godparents here, but different in that there are no religious responsibilities. It's like biological parents without a blood relationship." Xu Mo explained patiently. He looked intently at Sean, trying to make him fully understand the concept.

Hearing this, Rick, Sean, and Lori fell into deep thought. Their eyes flickered with thought, as if they were weighing the pros and cons of this proposal over and over again in their minds.

What Xu Mo said seems pretty good, but will the other two agree?

Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the three people, Xu Mo's eyes flashed with determination and decided to continue to put pressure:

"Rick, Sean, think about what will happen if you don't agree to this proposal. Will you two brothers end up turning against each other and killing each other over who is the father of Lori and the child in her belly?" There was a hint of warning in his tone, as if he was painting a terrible picture of the future.

Hearing Xu Mo's words, Rick, Sean, and Lori were shocked. A trace of fear flashed across their eyes, as if Xu Mo's words had hit the most worrying part of their hearts.

They thought about it carefully and realized that if they did not follow Xu Mo's suggestion, this kind of thing might indeed happen in the end.

Seeing that the three people had already shown some signs of interest, Xu Mo decided to put more pressure on them:

"Sean, Rick, think about it carefully. If you two protect Lori, the baby in Lori's belly, and Carl together, is there a greater chance that they can live safely in this doomsday? Or is there a greater chance that they can live safely in this doomsday if only one of you protects them alone?" His voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be knocking on their hearts.

After hearing Xu Mo's words, Sean and Rick looked at each other. Their eyes met in the air, as if they were conducting a silent communication. Both of them were thinking in their minds.

Sean's thoughts at this moment are:

What Xu Mo said made sense. Putting aside the fact that this child was most likely mine, even if it wasn't, it didn't seem unfair for this child and Carl to call me godfather. And if this child really was mine, with my and Rick's protection, it would indeed be more likely for them to survive safely in this apocalyptic world.

Rick's thoughts were similar to Sean's. He had never intended to attack Sean in the first place. As long as Sean didn't take the initiative to attack him or pose a threat to him, he would definitely not take the initiative to attack Sean. As for the child in Lori's belly, even if there was a high probability that they were not related to him by blood, as long as the child called him "Dad", then he was the child's biological father.

Soon, Rick and Sean also saw the general idea from each other's eyes.

They both turned to look at Xu Mo at the same time, with a hint of determination in their eyes, and said, "I agree with this proposal."

Hearing what the two said, Xu Mo's mouth corners unconsciously rose, revealing a satisfied smile.

At present, the most important problem has been solved. The next step is to give Sean some guidance, and maybe this matter will be over.

Thinking of this, Xu Mo turned to Rick and Lori, his eyes gentle, and said: "Rick, Lori, you two go back first, I have something to talk to Sean about."

Rick and Lori exchanged a glance, their eyes conveying a certain understanding. Then, they nodded slightly and turned to leave the barn.

Soon, Sean and Xu Mo were the only ones left in the barn.

Sean watched Rick and Lori leave, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. He was also thinking about other things.

Xu Mo also came to Sean at this moment, patted his shoulder gently, and said with a smile on his face: "Are you still thinking about Lori?"

Sean stood there, silent. His expression was somewhat serious, as if he was pondering some difficult decision.

Seeing this, Xu Mo continued to speak, trying to further persuade Sean:

"Think about it carefully. Even if you really killed Rick, how would Lori, Carl and the baby in Lori's belly look at you?" He stared at Sean, trying to make him face this cruel question.

"You killed their husband and father. Will they still treat you the same way as before?" There was a hint of questioning in his tone, as if to awaken Sean's reason.

"You know in your heart that this is impossible. If you really do that, Lori, Carl and the baby in her belly will not only not belong to you, but will resent you for the rest of their lives." His voice was low and serious, as if he was stating an unchangeable fact.

"Besides, you and Rick have been good brothers for many years. Can you really bear to attack Rick?" There was a hint of regret in his eyes, as if he was worried about the brotherhood between the two.
