Chapter 999 Adopt Her As My Honorary Daughter

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

Hearing Emily’s words, Azalea was overjoyed. She continued to cry for a while before she stopped crying.
Emily helped her to wipe her tears as Azalea’s eyes were swollen after crying. Emily helped her put the sunglasses on and took her out of the hospital.
Azalea had a high-class apartment in B City when she was famous. Emily sent Azalea back to her apartment and bought some vegetables to cook.
In order to disguise herself, Azalea laid down without even taking a few bites.
Emily felt bad when she saw Azalea behave this. Seeing Azalea lying on the bed with her head covered, she sighed and closed the bedroom door, returning to the living room.
After sitting on the sofa in the living room for a long time, Emily got up and walked around the room several times. She looked dignified and mixed with pain on her face.
Finally, Emily stopped. She sat down again and made up her mind to pick up the phone and dial it.
The phone had connected soon, and Rammos’s voice came from the other end of the phone, “Hello, Ms. Poland!”
“Hello, Mr. Li! I’m calling you to ask for help from you.”
“You’re welcome, Mrs. Yan. You can tell me anything you want, I will do it at all costs if I have the ability!”
“Then I’ll get to the point. I want him to help Azalea return to the entertainment industry as before.”
“Okay, I will tell Mr. Floyd!” Rammos agreed immediately.
“Besides this, I have another request.” Emily hesitated for a moment. “I want him to take Azalea as his honorary daughter!”
“Ah!” Rammos was stunned for a moment. It was not a small matter. To go back to the entertainment industry, they only provide the support of funds. However, to adopt her as a daughter was not decided by Rammos, nor Callum. He must ask for permission from Fandrey and Deborah.
Rammos thought that Emily’s request was not that suitable, so he repeated it again. “Do you want Mr. Floyd to recognize Azalea as his sworn daughter?”
“Yes! Mr. Smith, please tell him that this is the first time in my life that I beg for him! I hope he can help Azalea with the friendship that we had in the past! Thank you!”
“Okay, I will pass on your request!” Rammos knew that he could not make a decision on this matter, so he just handed it over to Callum.
In the bedroom, Azalea heard Emily call and immediately walked from the bed to the door, pressing her ears to listen carefully. When she heard the conversation of recognizing her as a daughter, her face was full of surprise. She returned to the bed immediately and grabbed her phone before she sent a message to Meadow, “Meadow, my aunt just called and asked somebody to recognize me as an honorary daughter. Is this good news?”
Meadow replied instantly, “Of course it’s a piece of good news! It can’t be any better!”
“Meadow, do you know who is my aunt asking for?” Azalea asked again.
“It’s Callum, the current president of the Floyd family!” Meadow did not hide anything from Azalea.
“Ah! He’s from the Floyd family? Isn’t Callum the uncle of William? This… Can my aunt really ask him for help? Will he agree to my aunt’s request?”
“He should,” Meadow replied.
“That’s great! You’re so brilliant!” Azalea was very happy. The status of the Floyd family was extraordinary. If Callum regarded her as his honorary daughter, she would be on the same level as Angel.
Even if she was not comparable to Angel, she would still be looked after by Callum. With Callum’s help, her acting career would definitely go well. Furthermore, if she had a relationship with Callum, William and Valeria would not make things difficult for her anymore. When she thought of these, Azalea realized that it was worth it for her to get the wound on her forehead.
What a blessing in disguise!
Rammos quickly passed on Emily’s request to Callum. Callum frowned and did not speak for a long time after listening to Rammos that Emily wanted him to take Azalea as his sworn daughter.
Rammos knew that he was in a dilemma. In the past, Callum always agreed to Emily’s request without considering it once Rammos told him. Now, it seemed that this matter was not easy to deal with.
Rammos asked tentatively, “Mr. Floyd, is it difficult?”
“It’s not too difficult.” Callum sighed. “I’m just thinking that she treated her daughter coldly. Why does she care a lot about her niece? Is her daughter worse than her niece? What logic is this?”
Rammos speculated, “Maybe… maybe Ms. Poland feels that Angel got a lot of love from many people, and Azalea has always been very difficult, so she wants to help Azalea?”
“Is there anything in the world that can compare with mother’s love?” Callum retorted.
“Well…” Rammos stopped talking, thinking that Emily was also poor in that past. It was not that she didn’t want her daughter, but there was no other way.
Callum was silent for a long time. “It’s not a problem to help Azalea to rise again. I can let the company support her with funds, but the matter of recognizing a daughter has to be considered. Even if I agree, Fandrey and Deborah won’t agree.”
“Yes, I think so. It’s fine if it’s someone else. Azalea is the niece of Emily. If Fandrey and Deborah knew about this, she wouldn’t be able to do it! If she provokes them, she might make a fool of herself!” Rammos knew that Callum would not refuse Emily’s request, so he volunteered to do it.
“Mr. Floyd, let me solve this matter. I’ll find Emily and tell her the pros and cons. For the sake of her life, she should understand your difficulties.”
“Okay, tell her then. If she insists on doing this, we’ll follow her wish!”
In the shopping plaza of the city centre, Valeria went to the western restaurant of the top floor for lunch after choosing the things she wanted.
Hayden had accompanied her all the time. His attitude was extremely good, and he didn’t show any sign of impatience. Those who didn’t know would think that it was the father who was accompanying his daughter shopping.
After sitting down, Valeria began ordering food according to Hayden’s preference. Goose liver, medium-well steak, vegetable salad, fish sauce, seafood soup, and red wine. She looked at the dessert. “Daddy, do you want some dessert?”
“No.” Hayden shook his head, so Valeria didn’t force it either. “Alright, one set of desserts! And a cup of fresh coconut juice!”
After the meal, Abbie called. “Valeria, are we having lunch today?”
“I’m having lunch with my dad in the shopping mall. Where are you?” Valeria retorted.
“Coincidentally, I’m nearby too. Help me order a meal. I’ll be right there!”
After hanging up, Valeria told Hayden, “Okay, here comes another person to have lunch.”
“Why don’t you invite Braelynn over here as well? It’ll be lively.” Hayden suggested.
“This is a good idea, but I’m not sure if Braelynn is free,” Valeria said and called Braelynn. Braelynn’s side was a bit noisy, and he didn’t refuse when Valeria asked for lunch. “Well, I’m waiting for customers nearby. I’m still worrying about where should I eat alone. Nice choice.”
After the call, Valeria ordered two more dishes. Braelynn and Abbie would have medium steaks. Hayden knew very well that Valeria ordered the medium-well steak because of him. It was undeniably that she was really good at taking care of people. He was very satisfied as he got along with her.
