Chapter 610

Marietta hadn’t realized it just now, but Kirk would become like her son–in–law if Caroline became her goddaughter. Then, he would have to call her “mom“.

Marietta was excited just thinking about it. She had to make Caroline her goddaughter, no matter what.

She looked at Kirk with a mischievous smile. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Of course, Kirk knew what Marietta was thinking. He glanced at Caroline and asked, “What do you think, darling?”

Marietta raised an eyebrow in surprise. She couldn’t believe Kirk had just asked someone else for their opinion.

Caroline pursed her lips slightly, feeling hesitant. After looking at Marietta’s expectant gaze, she replied, “O–Okay.”

Marietta immediately smiled at her words. She cheered, “That’s the spirit, Carrie! You’re such a good goddaughter.”

“Thank you, Aunt Mary,” Caroline said.

“Hey, you don’t have to call me that anymore. If you ask me, you should call me ‘mom‘, Right, Kirk?

”

Kirk noticed the calculating glint in Marietta’s gaze and hesitated for a moment. Then, he nodded slightly.

Caroline couldn’t resist Marietta’s teasing and shouted, “All right, Mom!”

“Good!” Marietta was so happy that she handed Caroline a gift.

“I had prepared this gift a long time ago. Now that my wish has come true, this calls for a double

celebration!”

Marietta looked at Kirk meaningfully.

Of course, Kirk knew that the double celebration Marietta referred to was her taking Caroline as

her goddaughter and his marriage to Caroline.

However, Caroline wasn’t aware of that. So she asked curiously, “What do you mean by ‘double“?”

“I mean…” Marietta drawled out.

After appreciating the irritating twitches on Kirk’s face, she said slowly, “Since I have a goddaughter, I also have a son–in–law. Right, Kirk?”

Kirk’s tense nerves relaxed, and he said reluctantly, “Yes, Mom.”

Marietta brightly smiled when she heard what Kirk called her.

While Kirk helped Caroline prepare seasonings in the kitchen, she couldn’t help but ask, “Have you two met before?”

Kirk paused for a moment and said flatly, “No.”

“But I feel like Mom is targetting you on purpose. She isn’t doing it out of malice, and she seems to be doing it to ridicule you. Why-”

Caroline paused, feeling Kirk staring at her. She brushed her hair from her forehead and asked, ” Did I say something wrong?”

“No.” Kirk glanced at Marietta, who was watching TV in the living room.

After a moment’s thought, he said, “I’m going out for a bit.”

“Okay.”

Caroline watched Kirk walked out of the kitchen toward Marietta.

The kitchen’s sound insulation was so good that she couldn’t hear what they were saying. So she simply shook her head with a smile and continued cooking.

In the living room, Kirk sat beside Marietta. “About your daughter…”

Marietta gave him a slight glance. “Don’t worry, you don’t have to explain anything. Since I’ve

made a promise, I won’t go back on my word.

“Besides, I’m not blind. I can see that Caroline is really happy. But …”

She changed the subject, “If Caroline were my actual daughter, I would definitely tell her the truth.

”

Kirk stood up. He mused, “Then, I’d better be thankful for the fact that she isn’t your actual
