Selina held Yesseca's hand affectionately. "No 'buts'. From now on, you're Yervant's godmother. When he grows up and finds a wife, you'll have a say as well."
Matthew, who was standing at the side, also chimed in, "I agree with this as well, Yesseca,"
Yesseca's lips trembled.
She didn't think that she was deserving of becoming Yervant's godmother.
After all, Yervant's parents were Selina and Matthew. Both of them came from very influential and powerful families. They were from upper-class society, whereas she was just an ordinary girl.
However, when she saw how earnest and serious Selina eyes were as she looked at her, Yesseca kept her doubts aside.
She nodded heavily. "Okay, Selina. I'll be Yervant's godmother."
Selina lifted up Yervant's little hand. "Come over here, he wants to hold his godmother's hand."
Yesseca reached out her hand.
She wrapped her hand around Yervant's little one.
The baby's hand was small and soft. Yesseca was afraid that she would break it.
Yervant, who was sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes.
The baby hadn't smiled once since it was born, but to everyone's surprise, he actually smiled at Yesseca.
Although it was a brief smile, it was enough to melt Yesseca's heart.
She thought to herself.
Since she had become Yervant's godmother, she had to take good care of Yervant for the rest of her life.
That day, after having dinner at the Perry family villa, Selina spoke to Yesseca.
She said that Mr. Whitlock wanted to see Yesseca.
Yesseca was nervous.
She knew that Mr. Whitlock was a sweet old man, but what did he want to see her for?
Selina smiled and said, "He's just curious about your relationship with Kylin, that's why he wants to see you. No need to panic,"
Yesseca felt that this was way too sudden.
She said, "Selina, this is way too soon. We need more time,"
She and Kylin were dating, but they hadn't been a couple for very long. There was no need to meet his elders so soon.
"The old man lives in the United States all year round. He's not used to life here in Glevania. He came back because I had given birth to my baby. He'll be going back to the United States tomorrow, so he wants to see you before he leaves."
After Selina explained the situation to her, Yesseca knew that she couldn't refuse his request.
So, she agreed.
Mr. Whitlock was staying at the Whitlock family villa, so Yesseca had to go over there to see him.
Matthew drove Yesseca over.
This was because after Kylin had escorted Yesseca over to the Perry family villa, he had to leave. He went over to the Whitlock family villa to discuss some matters.
Matthew and Yesseca chatted on their way over.
Althought Yesseca was extremely nervous, she was still in a good state of mind.
Matthew had his doubts about the things Yesseca said in the hospital the other day.
He didn't have the time to ask her about it then.
But he had time now.
While they waited for the traffic light to turn green at an intersection, Matthew asked cautiously, "Yesseca, on that day when you were hospitalized from that high fever when Selina and I came to see you, why did you ask her that question?"
Yesseca held her breath.
She seemed to be thinking about something.
Matthew looked into her eyes. "Yesseca, you can talk to me if you have any quesitons."
Yesseca looked at Matthew.
After a brief moment, she shook her head. "It's nothing. I was just curious."
"Are you sure?"
