Chapter 532: Chapter 532

,"Can I... touch her?" Titus Zane asks Ava Charles for permission by turning his head.

"Sister Titus, there’s no need to be polite. My little darling is very robust," Ava Charles encourages Titus Zane with a look. Titus Zane tentatively reaches out a finger, lightly touching the pink cheek of the little dumpling. The soft feeling extends all the way to his heart. The little darling stops her apple chewing and looks at Titus Zane, actually waving her little hands and laughing joyfully.

The little dumpling’s sudden unusual behavior startles Titus Zane, who quickly withdraws his finger, "Did I upset her?"

Ava Charles squats next to the stroller, caressing her daughter’s cheek with a tender expression in her eyes, "No, she likes you. My darling only smiles at people she likes. If she doesn’t like someone, she’ll cry when she sees them."

After speaking, she looks up at Logan Ray standing behind the stroller, "Brother Logan, look, the little darling wants Sister Titus to hold her,"

Logan Ray gives a faint smile without a word. Ava Charles turns back to grasp her daughter’s beckoning hand and says softly, "Darling really likes this pretty auntie, doesn’t she? Would it be nice if the pretty auntie became your Godmother..."

Feels somewhat awkward. It’s his first time seeing such an adorable little dumpling, and he just acts on instinct... who would have thought...

Worried that Nathan Moore might be unhappy, since the little dumpling is Logan Ray’s daughter, Titus Zane just turns his head to look over, and the man beside him has already wrapped an arm around his waist and starts to speak.

"Sure, our own baby hasn’t been born yet, let’s make her our Goddaughter," he says, wrapping his arm around Titus Zane and bending down to bring his handsome face closer to the little darling, "Little darling, I’m your Godfather, and this is your Godmother..."

Seeing the little dumpling waving her arms and legs about, Nathan Moore straightens up with Titus Zane in his arms, "In the rush to get out, we didn’t bring any gifts. Darling, do you have something you can give to our Goddaughter as a welcome gift?"

Feels that Nathan Moore’s enthusiasm is too intense, unscientifically so. Just as he’s about to say that he doesn’t have a gift with him, his view darkens as the man opposite raises an arm behind his neck.

"Let’s give this pendant to the little darling. Now that we’ve taken her as our Goddaughter, we should give a welcome gift."

While talking, the jade pendant on Titus Zane’s neck has already been taken off by Nathan Moore and carefully placed around the little darling’s neck, "Darling, this is a gift from your Godfather and Godmother. Take good care of it."

Instinctively, Titus Zane turns his gaze to Logan Ray, who also looks over at that moment. Their eyes meet and Titus Zane finds it quite embarrassing while Logan Ray’s brows furrow slightly, looking sentimental.

The jade pendant was given to Titus Zane by Logan Ray on the day they officially got together; it has significant commemorative value, as Logan Ray personally put it on for Titus Zane and it had never been removed since then...

Now, Nathan Moore has given this token of commitment back, indicating pretty clearly that it wasn’t an unintentional move.

After placing the jade pendant on the little darling, Nathan Moore stands upright and looks at her, the corners of his lips curling up in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad, the little darling looks really cute wearing it." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI~Fire.net

Ava Charles is unaware of the jade pendant’s significance and looks up at Logan Ray, who has been supporting the stroller. Seeing no objection from him, she grabs her daughter’s small hand and, holding her, says, "Little darling, quickly say thank you to your Godfather and Godmother..."

"Alright, you guys keep shopping, I’ll take my darling over there for a look,"

Finding satisfaction in having rid of the bothersome item and returned it to its original owner, Nathan Moore takes a long breath of relief, then reaches up to put a hand on Titus Zane’s shoulder as they walk towards their shopping cart.
