A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 724

Veronica was also stubborn, and she pushed the money back again.

"No, Mrs. Comte, you have to take this money. Otherwise, I will be uneasy."

"What's there to be uneasy about? Take it as I said. After all, you saved my life before." Winy put on a serious expression and pushed the money to Veronica. "If you insist, I will be angry."

Veronica sighed and pushed the money back, "Mrs. Comte, even if you are angry, I have to return the money to you. If you don't accept it, I will not eat anything today."

Winy saw Veronica's stubbornness and knew that she could not persuade Veronica, so she sighed and put the money away.

"You... Fine. I'll take it. Are you satisfied now?"

A smile reappeared on Veronica's face. She nodded and said, "Sure."

"But I will treat you to this meal today. You are not allowed to refuse me again."

"All right. I'll do as you said," Veronica smiled in agreement.

"By the way, I haven't heard you mention your parents. Are your parents also in Peace City?" Winy asked out of curiosity.

She wondered what kind of parents could raise such a good daughter like Veronica.

Veronica's smile did not change. "I am an orphan raised by my adoptive parents."

When Veronica first heard that she was an orphan, she felt very sad. After such a long time, now she no longer felt that the fact sounded very sad.

Winy changed her expression slightly.

"What? An orphan?"

"Yes." Veronica nodded calmly. "I also recently learned that my parents are my adoptive parents. When I was a child, I grew up in an orphanage and was adopted by my adoptive mother when I was five years old. But all my memories before I was five years old were gone. I heard from my adoptive mother that I was a child abandoned by my biological parents."

Winy felt inexplicably distressed and couldn't help holding Veronica's hand. "Good girl. How could your parents be willing to abandon you? It just so happens that I only have one child. How about ... I take you as my goddaughter. This way, you will have one more mother."

"Thank you, but that doesn't seem appropriate, Mrs. Comte." Veronica looked at Winy in surprise. "I am not the daughter of a famous family. I am not suitable to be your goddaughter. You will be laughed at."

"What's there to laugh about?" Winy held Veronica's hand tightly, and she was reluctant to let go of it. "When I first saw you, I liked you very much. Can you be my goddaughter?"

Veronica didn't feel happy to receive such great hospitality.

She quite liked Winy, but...

"Did you consider your adoptive parents?" Winy added. "How about this? Find a chance and call out your adoptive parents. Let's have a meal together and discuss."

A discussion with her adoptive parents. Seriously?

Veronica quickly waved her hand. "Mrs. Comte, you don't have to go through so much trouble. How about this? Give me two days to think about it. When I have thought it through, I will answer you, okay?"

After hearing Veronica say this, Winy smiled again and nodded in satisfaction, "Okay, then two days. I will call you in two days. When the time comes, you can't go back on your word."

"I know."

...

Veronica was overwhelmed by the sudden offer of Winy to recognize her as a goddaughter.

In the evening, Veronica returned to the residential area where Stella lived.

The sun, which was about to set, shined a golden radiance all over the ground, and the warmth was perfect for people to feel. The two sat side by side against the sunset.

Stella was surprised when she heard Veronica say that Winy wanted to recognize Veronica as a goddaughter. "Are you talking about Winy from the Comte Group? She wants to recognize you as her goddaughter, seriously?"

"Yes," Veronica replied with a distressed expression.

"This is a good thing. Why do you have a bitter face?"
