Chapter 227

Thu, 6 Mar Chapter 297 Chapter 227 Berenger and Odalyn didn’t hesitate, quickly taking their seats. They had four witnessed the swift change is the men’s expressions, and it had been quite unnerving One moment, Jack. Leo, and Max had been all smiles, and the next, their faces had turned serious Had they said something wrong?-Berenger and Odalyn couldn’t find any mistakes in their words, but the unpredictability of their hosts left them on edge.

Since they couldn’t make sense of it, they decided to ask about it. But just as they were about to speak, Jack’s attitude changed, and they were told to sit.

Berenger and Odalyn couldn’t understand these old men at all, so they just sat immediately–what if they were a second late and Jack’s attitude changed again?

Logan watched the scene unfold with a silent, knowing sympathy. He had been through similar situations before, some even worse than this. He understood the uncertainty Berenger and Odalyn were feeling.

“Hey, please don’t scare Berenger and Odalyn. They’ve always been kind to me, Elysia said, clinging to Jack’s arm with a sweet, coquettish smile.

Jack gazed affectionately at Elysia. “Don’t worry. I’m not that clueless. I can tell who’s good and who’s not, he reassured her, his face filled with warmth and pride.

With everyone now seated, Berenger took a deep breath to steady himself before speaking.

“We’re somewhat aware of what the Rosewood family has done in the past, and we apologize for any trouble it may have caused Elysia. I’m here to offer an apology on behalf of the Rosewood family to everyone,” he said, his voice sincere and earnest.

Jack looked Berenger over, noting his upright demeanor. He was clearly different from the shady characters in the Rosewood clan. “The Rosewood family is one thing and you are another. You don’t have to apologize for what they’ve done. It’s unnecessary,” Jack said, waving his hand dismissively.

Then, with a shift in tone, he added, “Mr. Jackson, I’m guessing you’re not just here to visit some old guys, right?”

“Mr. Lewis, you’re correct. My wife and I have another reason for coming–we want to make Elysia our goddaughter,” Berenger replied, his expression earnest and respectful.

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Jack raised an eyebrow, his gaze sharp. “You’re actually saying you want Elysia as your goddaughter?” he asked, his tone a mix of surprise and curiosity.

“Yes, we feel a connection to Elysia and truly admire her. We sincerely hope you gentlemen will agree,” Berenger stated, his tone respectful and earnest.

Jack’s gaze shifted to Elysia, and then back to Berenger. If Elysia could accept them as family, it would be a good thing. She would have a typical family environment with her “parents“, and he wouldn’t have to worry about her being alone in the world after they were gone.

If she accepted this relationship, she would always have someone to care for her and a place to call home. But it all depended on Elysia’s willingness. If she wasn’t comfortable with it, then it wouldn’t happen.

Turning his focus back to Elysia, Jack saw that she seemed agreeable to the idea. Since Berenger and Odalyn had already brought it up, it seemed likely they had discussed it with Elysia. Making this relationship official appeared to be nearly finalized.

“I have no objections,” Jack said, nodding. Naturally, Leo and Max didn’t have any issues either.

Berenger finally felt a wave of relief wash over him. The tense situation earlier had almost made him think the old 1/3 17:31 Thu, 6 Mar Chapter 997 gentlemen wouldn’t agree. But everything had worked out, and everyone was happy.

Odalyn’s face lit up with a simile, knowing she now had a daughter.

“Elysia, cherish your new family. Jack said with a warm smile.

Got it, Jack, Elysia replied, her eyes shifting to Berenger and Odalyn. She looked at them sincerely and said. “I’m so glad that you’re my godparents from now on.

The words sent a wave of warmth through the couple. Their hearts nearly melted at the sound. Having a daughter–even if it was in this unconventional way–felt incredibly special.

Berenger and Odalyn exchanged delighted glances, but Logan’s face soured. ‘Hey, don’t forger who came up with this whole idea,” he grumbled, folding his arms. “It’s not fair that you’re only acknowledging them. What about me? Am I just invisible how?”

Logan’s expression was so wounded that Elysia’s laughter died instantly. She looked at him earnestly and said softly. “Fine, you’re my brother from now on.”

Her words were like a balm to Logan’s bruised ego. It felt sweeter than any formal title. From that moment on, he was Elysia’s brother, and it was a title he cherished.

Odalyn glanced at Logan, then turned back to Elysia. “I’m sorry, Elysia,” she said, her voice tinged with regret. “I had to leave in such a rush that I didn’t have time to prepare a proper gift for you.”

She slipped off her emerald bracelet and placed it gently in Elysia’s palm. “This isn’t much in terms of value, but it was a birthday gift from my mother. I’ve worn it for years, and now I want you to have it.”

Elysia’s eyes widened as she heard the story behind the bracelet. She tried to give it back. “Odalyn, this is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

“Please, Elysia,” Odalyn insisted, her eyes softening. “It’s a small token of my affection. I’m truly happy to give it to you.”

Elysia hesitated for a moment before accepting the bracelet. “Thank you, Odalyn. I’ll treasure it.”

too.”

Before she could say more, Berenger spoke up. “Elysia, come here. I’ve got something for you Elysia pocketed the bracelet and walked over to Berenger. He pulled a bank card from his wallet and handed it to her. “I wasn’t sure what to get you, so here’s a secondary card with no spending limit. Use it for whatever you need.”

Logan’s eyes widened in surprise. He’d always Wanted that card, but his dad had refused him every time he asked. ‘Is this favoritism? It feels like it. Maybe I’m really the outsider in this family. Yeah, that has to be it,‘ he thought.

Elysia looked at the card, about to refuse, but Ber stopped her. “Elysia, this is from the heart. Please don’t refuse.”

Her hesitation melted away, and she accepted the card, slipping it into her pocket. “Thank you, Berenger.”

Jack and his team watched the scene unfold with satisfaction. They’d made the right choice. With the Jackson family taking care of Elysia, they could finally breathe easy.

Elysia had planned to let Berenger and Odalyn stay at the Arcanum House for a few days, but trouble at the company forced Berenger to rush back. Odalyn was anxious and couldn’t sit still, so they all returned to Shecrity together.

The Arcanum House fell quiet again. Elysia stood in the garden, her gaze fixed on the old tree. Alyce approached from behind, her demeanor respectful. “Boss, I failed you today. Please, let me know how I can make it right.”

Elysia shook her head. “This isn’t your fault, Alyce. Check the information on that taxi. I have a feeling that driver was after me.”
