Chapter 283 I Want To Be Your Goddaughter 

Lydia’s suggestion was both unexpected and admirable. 

She showed Deborah the utmost respect.

Deborah was slightly moved, even though just a moment ago she was somewhat distressed. In truth, after experiencing such an event, a feeling of reluctance had developed within her. Not to mention, she had guessed that Damien might have feelings for her…. 

And now, because of a single sentence from Lydia, Deborah felt as though she had been reborn. All the shackles that bound her had been released. 

Lydia gave a small laugh. “Which one will you choose? Or perhaps, you need more time to think?” 

After all, the person she selected had suffered because of her son. She had to take full responsibility. 

The Winters family and the Carney family did not oppose what Lydia said. However, they still leaned more towards a marriage allianc I seemed more stable and reassuring. Therefore, the Carney family was subtly hinting at Deborah. 

The spectators felt that Deborah had managed to turn a misfortune into a blessing. 

The small groups also began to speculate, unsure of what Deborah would choose. 

Isabella quietly asked Alexander, “What do you think?” 

Alexander shook his head. “I don’t know.” 

Isabella’s eyes sparkled as she asked, “How about we make a wager? You choose one and I’ll choose one. Whoever guesses correctly gets to ask the other to do something.” 

Haha! I’ve already figured out Deborah’s plan. She’ll choose to be the goddaughter. I’m sure I’ll win! When the time comes, I’ll think about what to make Alexander do. Haha! 

Isabella laughed schemingly in her mind. 

Although Alexander didn’t know what Isabella was planning for him, his ears began to blush in embarrassment first. 

“Okay, then I choose the first option. A marriage alliance,” said Alexander. 

Isabella was instantly overjoyed. “Well then, I’ll give in to you. I’ll choose the second option. Goddaughter!” 

Watching Isabella grinning as if she had just struck a great bargain, Alexander couldn’t help but smile. The group sharing the table also overheard their conversation and promptly joined in the gamble. 

“I’m not sure what Damien would think.” Roland considered his friend’s perspective. 

“He likes…” Elaine was about to suggest the possibility that he might be interested in men, but before she could finish, Roland stopped her. 

“All fun and games aside, don’t make a joke out of his sexuality.” Isabella heard this and tried hard to hold

His unrequited love was so secretive that all his friends were oblivious to it. In fact, it was so obscure that people started to mistake his sermality. It’s indeed unfortunate for Davien. If his friends had known about his feelings, they might have been devising plans to bring the two of them together by not 

Just as she was contemplating. Deborah had already spoken. She wasn’t one to waver in indecision. She had no choice previously, but now that she could choose…. 

“Mdm. Lydia, I…” 

“Deborah!” Damien couldn’t hold back any longer and finally spoke. 

In the past, he had been too hesitant to fight for what he wanted out of respect for his aunt’s kindness. However, the marriage debacle was entirely caused by Oliver himself. If Damien still held back at this point, he would be truly spineless. After a decade of longing, he was ready to take a chance for himself. 

This was his closest opportunity to seize the girl he had been secretly in love with for the past decade. 

Just as Damien was about to speak, he heard Deborah say, “I’ve made up my mind.” 

Her icy tone made Damien pause though he hadn’t even asked the qu

Damien fell silent, seeming even more desolate than when he had just been framed and set up. He appeared utterly dispirited and lost. 

Such a direct conversation wouldn’t lead anyone to suspect anything ambiguous. People were simply curious about what choice Deborah would make. 

Lydia was also curious. She hadn’t expected Deborah to make a decision so quickly. 

“I want to be your goddaughter,” stated Deborah bluntly. 

Immediately after she said that, many people let out incredulous gasps. 

They truly believed that Deborah would choose to marry Damien. After all, they had known each other for many years, and both were compatible in terms of character and abilities. It would be difficult for Deborah to find a better candidate for a marriage alliance. 

The Carney family thought that it was a pity, but they also knew it wasn’t right to force her. 

The small group couldn’t really determine if it was a pity or not. After all, they still believed the two had no feelings for each other. 

Immediately, Isabella was grinning as she looked at Alexander. 

With a smile, Alexander said, “You’ve won. What would you like me to do?” 

Isabella said, “Give me some time to think.”

“Okay” 

Meanwhile, it would not be appropriate to officiate an adoptive relationship so casually. They would need to choose an auspicious date first. 

Once she had taken care of the matters at hand, Lydia farned her attention to the three culprits. 

“Oliver, do you admit your mistake? 

Oliver saw how well his adversaries were treated and was fuming. He stood up. “Admit my mistake? You’re treating Damien as your own son and Deborah as your goddaughter, but you don’t want me! You’re doing just great. huh? You’re blind to the injustices I’ve suffered and you look down on me. I don’t need you anymore. Today, I’m cutting ties with you! Go ahead and be their mother,” 

At this point, Oliver’s father was so startled that he leaped up. “How can you speak about your mother like that? You’re in the wrong. Apologize immediately!” 

“Are you threatening me?” Lydia was once again hurt by her rebellious child’s words, but she managed to keep her emotions hidden. 

Oliver was so fierce that it was

“If you’ve made up your mind. I won’t object,” said Lydia. She was not one to be intimidated. From the moment she learned of Oliver’s downfall, she knew she had to take drastic measures. 

In reality, even up to this point, Lydia still wished to salvage her son. She was willing to sever their relationship and cut off his financial lifeline in the hope that he could grow after experiencing some hardships. For the sake of setting her son on the right path, she was prepared to make such a heart- wrenching decision. 

“You. You…” Oliver hadn’t expected that Lydia would actually agree. He was so upset that his vision started to darken, almost causing him to lose his footing. 

“You’re too ruthless. How could you treat Oliver like this?” asked Ruby, unable to hide her discontent. “Are you really his biological mother?” 

What Ruby said was enough to make the bystanders burst into laughter. 

Surprisingly, everyone was on the same page.
