Chapter 1320: Recognizing a Goddaughter
Why is there such a discrepancy in how I understand him? Is the information incorrect?
Nicole pursed her lips, her mouth tinged with bitterness, "Because the medication he gave me made me lose the baby, so I once thought he probably only hated and despised me. But every time I thought he didn’t love me, every move he made and everything he did to protect me left me dazed and lost, because he would protect me at the most critical times, defying everything to shield me. His feelings towards me... truly leave me in a state of uncertainty."
Stuart Floyd picked up some food with his chopsticks and looked deeply at Nicole, hinting with his words, "Sometimes love doesn’t have to be spoken, Nicole, feel it with your heart. Love that can be expressed verbally isn’t necessarily true love, but every act and protection is heartfelt and genuine. Think about your past and how you interacted with each other, think about the times spent together, and ask yourself, is he really unfeeling towards you? Some people are not good with words, and when you feel with your heart, you’ll find their emotions are actually more sincere and reliable than those who are eloquent."
Celine Sutton picked up some food and placed it in Nicole’s bowl, her face full of compassion and affection, "However, your future mother-in-law is really formidable. Even if you marry into their family, it may not bring happiness, Nicole. A marriage without blessings has a difficult road ahead. No matter how much your man loves you, the tears you’ll shed after marrying cannot be foreseen."
Nicole’s hand holding the chopsticks was very stiff, she laughed lightly and shook her head, "It’s okay, I never thought of marrying into their family. Joshua Floyd... my ex-boyfriend has a fiancée, and whatever was between us is in the past, a love without a future is best left to fade away."
Celine nodded in agreement, smiling at Nicole, "There are so many men in the world, why worry about not finding a good one? If years from now, you’re still unmarried, and you don’t mind, become my daughter-in-law! I took an instant liking to you, feeling we hit it off especially well. Although Joshua may be a bit of a rascal, at least he wouldn’t heartlessly terminate his own child. Joshua is just playful, and you two are classmates, if in the future you marry Joshua, I would be overjoyed."
"Cough cough..." The first to be choked up was Stuart Floyd, quickly dismissing this proposal to his wife, shaking his head repeatedly to Nicole who was also stunned, "Don’t listen to your aunt about such nonsense, she just feels a unique connection with you, wanting to be closer. But becoming close like this isn’t about randomly pairing couples. I feel your ex-boyfriend treated you so well, he wouldn’t truly be unfeeling and insincere, your aunt doesn’t have a daughter, so she wants a daughter as obedient as you."
Nicole smiled faintly, also feeling that Joshua’s parents were particularly easy-going, enjoying interacting with them.
Celine glanced teasingly at her husband, laughed, and said, "I really do want Nicole as my daughter, which is why I want her to marry Joshua. Daughters are wonderful, caring and warm. Unfortunately, I don’t have a daughter, and even the only son I once had is now..."
"Celine, if you like Nicole, recognizing her as a goddaughter also works." Stuart interrupted his wife’s words, using her nickname, and his gaze deepened as it turned towards Nicole.
His profound eyes carried a hint of excitement and anticipation.
Celine looked at Nicole, cautiously and joyfully asked, "Nicole, would you be willing? I don’t have a goddaughter, could you recognize me as your godmother? I’m not trying to take advantage, just feeling a kindred connection with you, wanting to be closer. You don’t have a mother, so if you don’t mind, I’d love to treat you as a daughter from now on..."
Nicole was astounded by the sudden offer from Joshua’s parents to recognize her as their goddaughter, momentarily stunned.
