Kennedy Moore scoffed coldly, and said directly, -No, it’s impossible. If you want to have a daughter, you have to get married and ask your wife.
Hearing that, Anthony Collazo got a little angry.
-You say you owe me a favor, and I just want to be her godfather.
-Oh, really? -Kennedy said as if it was nothing, “Well, the favor just mentioned will not be counted.
As he finished his words, he was about to leave, hugging Pepita. Pepita stopped smiling and looked at Kennedy with innocent black eyes.
Poor Anthony couldn’t see how Kennedy’s gaze turned. After Kennedy turned away, he looked at Pepita softly and said softly, -Tontita, you are so close to making a fool of your godfather.
He would not allow his daughter to have such a godfather.
“Uncle Anthony is acceptable. I’m not going to let my daughter have a godfather like that,” he thought.
Kennedy was determined not to let Anthony recognize this goddaughter.
So when Anthony found out that Kennedy’s version wasn’t going to work, he put all his energy into persuading Alice, who was getting very upset for him.
-Anthony… Pepita is not just my daughter. And don’t you think it would be better if Pepita called you Uncle Anthony?
Anthony stood for a moment, cocked his head to one side and asked, -Yes?
-Of course. -Alice smiled and nodded, patting him on the shoulder, “Uncle Anthony is good. Think about it, in this day and age there is a lot of ambiguity about the term godfather. We can’t assume that everyone thinks that way, but what about everyone else, what if some people get the wrong idea? So I think Kennedy is right not to say yes. Anyway, Pepita will always call you uncle when she grows up, it’s just a calling. Anthony was persuaded by Alice that, if he really liked her, he would get along with her.
“It’s true that the name Godfather can be misunderstood. I’ll be an old man by the time Pepita grows up. It doesn’t matter what others say about me, but not Pepita. “he thought deeply.
Anthony thought there would be a misunderstanding and perhaps a rumor. So he dismissed the idea and said with a smile, -Well, then, she calls me Uncle Anthony, don’t worry, Alice, I’ll take care of Pepita!
And that was the end of the matter.
Alice remembered something and asked.
– By the way, did you come back alone this time?
Anthony bristled, -No, of course not.
-Oh? -Alice was curious, -Was there anyone else with you?
Anthony nodded, -Of course there was. My grandfather wanted me to come back with me, saying he was going to Pepita’s party. Why does he want to come back? He’s too old for that.
Alice was silent, having misunderstood that he came back with Lolita Jimenez.
-Alice, what’s wrong?
Alice stared at him and smiled thoughtfully, -Nothing, I was just thinking about Lolita, the one I worked with overseas, how is she?
Lolita’s life was terrible at first, but Alice couldn’t take care of herself, so she had even less time to help Lolita.
Just thinking about her now, Alice still sighs a little.
After all, she had been with Alice for quite some time when she was abroad.
-That woman? -The mention of Lolita made Anthony suddenly look strange, -Hmmm, is she nice? What’s wrong with her?
-Why am I looking at you as if you’re feeling a little vain? -Alice narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Anthony.
She said, -I’m not being vain, she’s fine. I take her out to dinner every day and she’s always full of oil and snot, what’s wrong with that?
Alice was silent.
Alice dropped to her knees at that description.
-No. -Anthony shook his head, with strange eyes. “Lolita wouldn’t dare come back, she’s a runaway and she’s got nothing. She was a runaway and had nothing. She wasn’t good at her job and that’s why she got into such a mess. “he thought.
With Anthony’s financial support, Lolita would tearfully tell him each time, “Anthony, thank you.
-Anthony, thank you. When I make money, I’ll buy you a big meal!
Then, every time Anthony would see her like this, he would reach out and slap her forehead so hard that she would cover her hand in pain and then tease her.
-If you are so moved by this food, if I take you out to eat for a year, will you be so moved that you will give me your life?
Maybe that Lolita was hit by Anthony or what, but despite the pain, she looked at him with tears in her eyes and nodded at his words.
Then, Anthony’s smile froze.
He was only joking, trying to tease her. But the silly woman looked at him and nodded with tears in her eyes, so Anthony froze in place and it took him a moment to react and hit Lolita hard on the head again.
-Are you stupid, a few meals and that’s it? Do you really want to give your life to any man who invites you to lunch in the future? You’re a girl. Do you understand? How can you say yes to such things? You’ll be at a disadvantage, you know?
Lolita’s eyes turned even redder as she looked at him and shook her head, -You don’t understand. You’re the first person who has been so kind to me since I came abroad.
-What are you giving me your life for? I’m just going to take you out to eat, don’t be moved! Besides, you know Alice, I’m just helping you instead of her!
After saying these words, Anthony noticed that the light in Lolita’s eyes seemed to have faded a bit, but he didn’t care and just urged Lolita to eat quickly.
Although Anthony was still taking Lolita out for a big meal afterwards, Anthony’s thoughts had changed a bit. For some reason, he felt satisfied every time he saw Lolita’s eyes light up at the food before he looked down and ate obediently.
