Chapter 81: Chapter 81

"Mom, what Mrs. Green?" Liora Hughes asked.

Lucy Eaton hadn’t expected the old lady hadn’t told her daughter beforehand that she was Jacob Green’s wife.

"Our Lucy is indeed Jacob Green’s wife, you know Jacob Green, right? That very handsome young entrepreneur."

Liora Hughes was indeed quite surprised, "Really?! I didn’t expect that."

"So if Lucy is willing to be your goddaughter, you won’t be losing out." The old lady said and then turned to ask Lucy Eaton, "Are you willing?"

"If the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister’s wife are willing, I certainly have no objections."

"Since you agreed, we’ll go to the temple to burn incense and end with a simple ceremony at your godmother’s house. Rest assured, my daughter and son-in-law have very good temperaments. Now that you’re secretly married to Mr. Green, when the day comes to meet your in-laws, knowing that your godparents hold such status, they won’t dare to belittle you."

It was at this moment that Lucy Eaton understood the old lady’s intention. Arranging for her to have godparents was to make sure she wouldn’t be underestimated by her in-laws.

"What have I done to deserve such kindness from you, Granny?"

"Don’t say that. As long as you visit this old lady often in the future, I’ll be satisfied."

The car reached the foot of the mountain, and the three of them walked step by step up the stone stairs, all the way to the Grand Saint Temple.

The incense was flourishing, and the stream of pilgrims never stopped.

It was just unexpected to see Lily Green here.

She actually came here alone to burn incense.

Lucy Eaton texted Jacob Green to inquire, only then did she know that Lily Green often came here alone, but as for why she frequently came, it was unclear because she wouldn’t say.

Though she was the sister-in-law, Lucy Eaton could only pretend not to know her.

Naturally, Lily Green didn’t notice her either, burned her incense and prayed, then left.

After Lucy Eaton, the old lady, and Liora Hughes burned incense, they initially thought they would leave right away, but to their surprise, the old lady went to meet the temple’s Abbott.

The two seemed to be old friends.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the Abbott’s gaze fell on Lucy Eaton, and with a smile, he said, "This young lady looks very familiar, it feels like I’ve seen her somewhere before."

Lucy Eaton was absolutely sure she had never been to this Grand Saint Temple, nor had she seen this Abbott elsewhere. Get full chapters from Nove1Fire.net

"You must have seen someone who looks like me. I have no memory of meeting you before."

"Perhaps, with so many people coming and going, there are too many pilgrims."

Lucy Eaton smiled and nodded.

After staying there for another ten minutes, the three of them finally left.

Liora Hughes’s home is in Northriver City. Usually, when she comes to Ningham City, she drives through the highway. If the old lady were willing to live in Northriver, she wouldn’t have to frequently drive on the highway to come over.

It’s just because the old lady isn’t willing to move there and she can’t leave her mother behind, that she’s compelled to make the effort to come over.

So on the way back, they naturally took the highway straight to the Prime Minister’s Mansion in Northriver City.

On the way, Lucy Eaton texted Jacob Green to specifically inform him.

Jacob Green hadn’t responded to the messages.

It wasn’t until the car arrived at the Prime Minister’s Mansion in Northriver City that Lucy Eaton discovered Jacob Green had arrived before them.

At that moment, he was conversing with Prime Minister Jackson Baker.

Seeing them come in, the two both stood up.

When Jackson Baker cast his gaze on Lucy Eaton’s face, he was genuinely a bit amazed. Although his wife said this girl resembles him, today, seeing her, it truly seemed so.

Not only did he gain a bit more affection for this goddaughter he was meeting for the first time.

"Lucy, this is your godfather."

Lucy Eaton wasn’t nervous at all. She calmly called out, "Dad."

Jackson Baker responded, stepped forward to shake her hand, "From now on, we’re family."

Lucy Eaton then introduced to Liora Hughes, "Mom, he’s my husband, Jacob Green."

"Of course, I know him." Liora Hughes looked at Jacob Green, nodding satisfactorily, "It’s truly seeing him prove the stories right, I never imagined such a promising young entrepreneur would become my son-in-law. Lucy, having a husband like him, is truly a blessing."

"Mom, you’re too kind. Having a wife like her is my greatest fortune."

After chatting for a few more words, under the old lady’s urging, they began preparing for the recognition ceremony.

After the ceremony was prepared, Mason Baker, Jackson Baker and Liora Hughes’s son, hadn’t come back yet.

The old lady spoke up, "Don’t wait for him; Lucy is recognizing you two anyway, whether he’s present or not doesn’t matter."

She said it just like that in front of her daughter and son-in-law, and the old lady wasn’t worried in the least that they’d be upset.

She had been for many years, and Jackson Baker and Liora Hughes knew her temperament well and were long accustomed to it.

Just like that, under the old lady and Jacob Green’s witness, Lucy Eaton recognized her godparents.

The ceremony completed, they truly became family.

Afterwards, they had a reunion dinner together, and knowing they were secretly married, Jackson Baker curiously asked, "Whose idea was this?"

"Mine." Lucy Eaton said, "I feel that it’s more carefree this way. For now, the fewer people who know I’m his wife, the better. When the time is right, we’ll make it public."

Jackson Baker couldn’t help but smile, "You’re really a different kind of child. Most people would be eager for others to know their identity, but you didn’t."

"Because there are quite a few adversaries now, and I’m in the dark while they’re in the open, not knowing I’m Jacob Green’s wife means they won’t provoke their nerves for the time being."

Jackson Baker was incredibly bright and understood instantly.

With a husband as outstanding as hers, many girls were bound to come on strong, and once they knew this eligible bachelor was taken, she’d inevitably become a target for them.

Handling it this way was no doubt a wise choice.

After dinner they chatted for nearly two hours before the couple left, while the old lady didn’t depart with them, having been held back by her daughter, hoping she’d stay for a few days before returning.

The old lady agreed seeing she couldn’t refuse.

Because she went to the Grand Saint Temple and the long ride exhausted her, the old lady was feeling a bit drowsy, just about to get up and go to her room to rest, when Mason Baker returned.

Currently, Mason Baker is the Captain of the Criminal Police Division at Northriver City Police Station.

Standing tall at over six feet, he looked very handsome in his police uniform.

But since he was young, he never received a kind glance from his grandmother.

Over time, he learned to disregard his grandmother too.

Seeing his grandmother had arrived, he directly ignored her, only saying to his parents, "I’m back."

"Why so late? Weren’t you asked to come back earlier?" Liora Hughes inquired.

"It’s busy at the station. Is the recognition done?"

"So I guess I have a new sister from now on."

"She’s not exactly a sister," Liora Hughes chuckled, "It’s a real coincidence. Upon careful inquiry, Lucy shares the same birthday with you, born a few hours earlier, so you have to call her sister."

Mason Baker was stunned, "The same birthday as mine?"

"Indeed, isn’t that a coincidence?"

Mason Baker’s tone inevitably turned sour, "Do you guys really lack daughters that much? Recognizing someone this grown, what kind of bond could there be? Clearly because of our family’s status. If you genuinely wish to adopt, why not adopt a daughter from the welfare institute to raise, at least having raised her, she’d grow up with emotions for you. But look, here I am, all grown up, and suddenly out of nowhere, I have an older sister."
