I bet he contemplated whacking Kay, but pulled back when he realized that his beloved Anthony and Mary would find out eventually and never forgive him. And, as we learned at the beginning of III, he entrusted their education to their mother. No doubt a practical consideration on Michael's part (left him free to do Mafia business without having to worry about shielding the kids).
Yes, I think Michael didn't whack Kay just because of their children.
Yet, I can't help but finding rather implausible that Michael would entrust his children's education to Kay in GF III. Not certainly after what Kay had done.
Michael was Sicilian to the core - no matter how hard he tried to achieve the yankee façade. No way a sicilian man would ever forgive his wife after an abortion - let alone entrusting her of his children's education.
So I still think that was one of the sloppy plot's twists in GF III. What do you think about it?
