She nodded her head even though he couldn't see her. A Lump had formed in her throat. “I know you are not that kind of person. You don’t have to say that,” she said in between sobs.
If one considered the wealth Roy had accumulated and his powerful family background, he and his wife could hire an amazing nanny. Even if they wanted to live in a fully-equipped nursing home in their old age, that could be arranged within the snap of a finger.
“It's my honor to be your goddaughter, but I’m afraid | am not worth it.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Chelsea was just an ordinary girl. Maybe she showed a bit of talent in writing but that was all about it. It wouldn’t qualify her to become the goddaughter of a big shot Like Roy.
She didn’t even have a complete family, nor had the slightest idea as to who her biological father was.
The Ellis family was so famous and there would be chaos if they made her their goddaughter. She couldn't care less about people gossiping about her. However, she would be hurt if their Lives would be affected by this.
Roy, noticing her hesitancy, went on, “It’s wrong to say you don’t deserve this. You deserve the world. Our family is also very ordinary. You don’t need to stress yourself.” It was as if he had read her mind! He added, “I know | have dropped a big bomb and you might need some time to think straight. You can give it some serious thought and Let me know your answer tomorrow.”
Roy didn’t want to make her feel overwhelmed.
“Okay.” Chelsea hadn’t reeled from her shock yet.
But he was right. She needed time to think.
After ending the call with Roy, Chelsea sat slouched on the sofa, unable to make sense of what had just happened.
Truth be told, she didn’t need to think about it, nor did she need to discuss about it with her family. When Roy said that he wanted Chelsea to be his goddaughter, Chelsea wanted to say yes. Hell, she wanted to scream yes!
Although Chelsea had met Roy only once, she had felt an instant bond. She knew she could trust him and his wife. ninjanovel.com
And most of all, she knew if she became their goddaughter, she would be truly loved. And Love was something that lacked in her life.
Chelsea called her best friend to inform her of the news When Zuri heard it, she was even more excited than Chelsea. She kept screaming on the phone.
“Whoa! You are the best, girl! You went to Norrmalm and got a famous godfather. I’m so proud of you! Let's see if Diane would dare to bully you again in the future. She’d be doomed if she tries it!”
Philip didn’t come close to Roy in terms of power and reputation Chelsea sighed with distress.
Sensing her friend’s mood, Zuri asked with concern, “Why did you sigh like that? Don’t tell me you think you don’t deserve it. Of course, you do! Why do you think Roy and his wife chose you to be their goddaughter? It must be because you are a good young woman. Stop selling yourself short!”
Zuri gritted her teeth and added, “Edmund is such a horrible man. He trampled on you so much that it affected your self-esteem. Listen to me, Chelsea. You are the most gentle and talented girl in the world. You deserve every good thing, including becoming Roy’s goddaughter Don’t let anything or anyone make you believe otherwise, okay?”
Zuri showered praises on her friend. Chelsea was amused. Holding her head up high, she said jokingly, “Yeah, | am the most beautiful and talented woman in the world!”
“That’s what | am talking about! You need to be more confident from now on,” Zuri uttered, snapping her fingers with excitement.
Chelsea used to be the most beautiful and talented girl while they were in college. Her confidence was out of this world. No one could trample on her. But that changed after she became Edmund's wife. Her confidence was reduced to nothing because of him.
“Thank you, Zuri,” Chelsea said softly. Her mood was uplifted now that she heard those words of affirmation “Come on, girl! You don’t have to thank me. Anyway, don’t forget your best friend when you become rich in the future.”
Chelsea crossed her heart and promised.
