My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 331

After greeting the two elders, Pedro and Valerie noticed me. A look of surprise fell on their faces when they saw me. They looked at Anthony and asked, "Master Miller, who is this person beside you?" Anthony said with a smile, "This is Arianna. She's a staff member of our company, and she's here with Irvin today."

Pedro and Valerie looked at each other, still looking surprised. "Arianna?" Their eyes fell on me, confused.

"Mr. Moore, this girl looks just like President Lin when she was younger. If it wasn't for the fact that your family has already brought your daughter back, I would have thought that she is your daughter," Charles, who was about the same age as Pedro, teased.

Many people agreed with what he said even though this was met with surprise by the elderly couple. They then looked at Valerie and me carefully.

After a while, he said, "I have to admit that the similarity is uncanny. Her nose is very similar to Pedro's, and she is tall and delicate. If Pedro hadn't already gotten his daughter back, I would have thought her to be your biological daughter."

Everyone laughed hearing this. Pedro glanced at Valerie before focusing his gaze at me. He bunched his eyebrows as he looked on.

After Irvin was done entertaining the guests, he walked in and said with a smile, "I can't believe everyone thinks so. Why don't we let Mr. Moore recognize Arianna as his goddaughter so that we can have more good news today?"

Hearing that, I couldn't mask my surprise. I didn't understand what Irvin was trying to say.

As soon as he said this, someone chided in agreement, "Yeah, this is a good idea. Mr. Moore will have another beautiful girl by his side. How enviable."

Others didn't know of my relationship with the Moore family. Of course, they would think that it's a happy event. However, all it took was one look at the faces of Valerie and Pedro to know that this was not the case, since they knew of the situation well.

After a while, Valerie said with a smile, "We appreciate the kindness. Everyone knows that our daughter, Andrea is a tough girl. But she had suffered for the past few years, and I don't think it'll ever be enough for us to make it up to her. If we take in another goddaughter, I'm afraid she will overthink."

All of a sudden, Irvin and the others, who had originally suggested this, turned pale at her words.

For a moment, they couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

With a faint smile, I felt much more relaxed. I looked at Valerie and Pedro and said, "The two of you love your daughter so much that others are envious of her. It's unfortunate that I don't share the same fate, you all have been too kind."

"What did you say?" Charles beamed, "You don't need to belittle yourself, girl. You were brought here by Irvin, which means that you are someone of value. I only have a son, when I actually also want a daughter. Everyone knows that my wife passed away before her time, so I was not left with one. Fate had brought us together here. If you are willing to accept me as your godfather, the Reid family is where you belong in the future."

I was stunned and for a short moment, even a little confused. Charles was a famous official in Jarold City. He had been an honest executive for all his life. There were not many powerful people who had as much integrity and principle as he did nowadays.

When someone like himself uttered these words to me, I couldn't help but feel flattered.

"Look at her. She's so happy that she's at a loss for words. Charles, look how you intimidate people." Anthony joked. The smile on his face grew wider with pride.
