Chapter 460 Our Child's Godfather

"No, there is nothing inconvenient. If you still treat me as your friend, then you shouldn't be leaving my

house at this moment!" Jean retorted loudly with an unhappy look.

Moore was really in a bind now. He smiled awkwardly knowing fully well that Zed had already seen this

coming. Now he was faced with the dilemma of whether to stay here or displease Jean. On one hand, Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

now that Jean was pregnant, he thought it would be inconvenient if he stayed here. On the other, Jean

would certainly get angry if he didn't obey her.

He looked at Zed for help, but Zed only gave him a sympathetic smile in return. Finally, Moore looked

down at his shoes and nodded in agreement. "Fine! I'd better agree with you," he said.

Hearing his consent, Jean was happy at once. "Moore, of course you can't leave now. You should stay

here until my child is born. You will be my child's godfather after all!"

"Puff..." When Moore heard Jean say this, he was drinking water. As soon as the word 'godfather' was

uttered, he sprayed the entire table in shock.

"Godfather? Me?"

Moore coughed and looked at Jean in shock. He asked in disbelief as he again pointed towards his

chest. "Are you serious?"

Zed hadn't expected this either, so he looked at Jean in astonishment.

"Certainly I am!" Seeing them both stare at her in shock, Jean cleared her throat and slowly

explained,"You know, I have a few friends only, not to mention my relatives..."

When she said this, she stopped suddenly, as if to restrain her from sobbing out with sadness. There

was a bittersweet beautiful smile on her delicate face, and she looked at them piteously. "Moore, you

know Zed's family background very well. So you must know that there is a big gap in our social status.

I'm used to it, but I can't bear to let my child suffer any slight after birth, let alone be bullied just

because I have no relatives. So Moore, I'm sorry to tell you that you would have to be the baby's

godfather with a great deal of responsibility. You should not only love my child, but also be his or her

strongest support. I won't embarrass you either. If you think recognizing my child will cost you too

much, then I won't say it."

Hearing Jean even say this had Moore compelled to say 'yes'. He also smiled at the peculiar situation

he was in.

Now that she had put it so straightforward, if he didn't say yes, he really couldn't imagine the fate of

their friendship.

But he still had some doubts. 'Why does Jean insist that I be the godfather of her child? Does she

really just want me to protect her child? Or for other reasons?

Besides, is Zed's family really that complicated?' wondered Moore.

Zed stood aside trying to explain, but saw Jean stealthily wink at him.

Although it was not clear what was going on in Jean's mind, Zed closed his mouth to obey his wife out

of loyalty.

"In that case, I have to promise you. But Zed, Jean, I'm afraid I can't do it well. If I fail to do my duty,

please don't blame me," Moore said with a worried face.

To be honest, he had never expected to be the godfather of Jean's child.

After all, he didn't even have a girlfriend. How could he get promoted to a 'godfather' so quickly?

But somehow, Moore felt a sudden surge of excitement and a sense of responsibility.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Moore, I believe you can do it well!" Sensing his anxiety,

Jean immediately flashed him a big smile.

Moore saw Jean trusting him so much that he nodded out of impulse.

Now that Moore had promised them, Zed was worried about Jean getting exhausted from all of this.

"Well, Jean, you must be tired after such an eventful day. Would you like to go upstairs and take a

rest?"

"Yeah, I'm really tired." Jean nodded to Zed and turned to Moore. Moore, I'll go upstairs and rest first.

Make yourself at home."

"Well, I will," said Moore. He watched Jean and Zed lock arms as they walked upstairs.

Somewhere, he knew that there was more to what met the eye when it came to becoming Jean's

baby's godfather. But he still had no idea what exactly Jean was up to when she did that.

But just now, Zed had sent Jean back to their bedroom. "Jean, why did you do this?" Baffled, Zed

asked her the same question that was already nagging Moore downstairs.

"You mean letting our child recognize Moore as his or her godfather?" Sitting on the bed, Jean looked

up at Zed and asked.

"Yeah. What's more to this? How is my family as complicated as you made it out in front of him? Well,

you do have few relatives, but the child is mine. I will never let him come in any harm's way or suffer a

grievance!" Zed solemnly promised.

"To be honest, I don't know much about your family. But I do want our child to recognize Moore as his

godfather. So what I just said was just to get Moore to agree." Jean frankly told this to Zed. "If I didn't

say it, do you think Moore would have agreed to stay here? If he left our house now, would it have been

in vain for me to have him stay here this long?

As his friend, I can't bear to let him suffer the harassment of the Bai family alone. Besides, I'm pregnant

now and not fit to go out often. But if I were to stay at home alone, I would be really depressed. You are

so busy every day that you don't have much time to give me company. If Moore stays here, he can talk

to me and relieve my boredom. Honey, you don't want me to get sick from boredom, do you?"

Jean said and in the end she looked at Zed with a slightly coquettish pout.

"I know why you want to keep Moore at our house." Zed sighed as he heard Jean's complicated line of

reasoning. "But I don't think it's appropriate for you to let our child recognize Moore as the godfather

this early. If Moore recognizes Gary as his father in the future, then our child would be calling Gary

grandpa. But this thing..."

Zed said embarrassingly.

"Zed, you think too much." Jean laughed when she heard the words. "Let's put the matter of whether or

not Moore will forgive Gary aside. Even if he did forgive him, do you think Gary would not be qualified

to be our child's grandpa? After all, Gary is a legendary figure in H City. I don't think there's anything

wrong with it. And don't think too much about it. According to Moore's temperament, he won't let his

grouse go with Gary for the time being. You can be sure of that." Jean comforted him and broadly

smiled.

"No, you don't know about our family and the Bai family," Zed said anxiously at once.

"What did you say? You two families know each other?" Jean was suddenly curious, and then probed

Zed to explain.

"Yes, since I was a little child, our two families have known each other. And the relationship between us

was quite amicable. But then, because of something that happened between us, we fell out of touch."

Zed's shoulders drooped as he looked downcast after mentioning the strife between the families.

Jean frowned when she heard about it, but then she laughed with relief. "Whatever the discord

between the two families, our child only recognizes Moore, not the other people in the Bai family. Don't

worry, are you vehemently objecting to this because you think Moore is not fit to be your child's

godfather?"

Jean couldn't help teasing Zed when she saw that he was frowning anxiously all this time.

"Don't talk nonsense." He interrupted her seriously. "I'm just afraid that when my mother gets to know

about it, she will oppose it with all her passion."

Zed said that, and his forehead wrinkled again.

"So the root of the incompatibility between the two families is your mother, right? Is there any feud

between your mother and the Bai family?" Jean guessed something and asked.

Zed nodded as he heard the remark. "Now that you have guessed this, I will not hide it from you." "My

mother and Gary's second wife Edna had always been at odds. It was because they quarreled every

time they met that they gradually alienated the two families. By now, our two families have basically cut

off contact..."

Zed concluded by shaking his head at this.

'I guess, this is really bothering Zed...' thought Jean.
