Chapter 822

Zoe Morgan’s eyes lit up when she heard this.

“That’s right. There’s no time like the present. That’s fine too! I just don’t know if your Sister Melody is willing to have me as her godmother.”

Melody only laughed when she heard it. It was Lucas Morgan’s child’s play, but Zoe Morgan had to cooperate with Lucas so that there wouldn’t be an awkward silence.

In the end, Zoe Morgan and Ander Morgan went to look for the Colin Herbert couple.

The four of them decided to acknowledge Melody as their goddaughter.

When Melody heard this news, she was taking Ruby’s pulse. When she heard that they had already decided, her eyes widened. She did not take Ruby’s pulse for a long time.

Ruby simply retracted her hand and smiled. “The baby and I are both healthy. You don’t have to worry about me. Go do your thing first. We’re about to officially start the god-parents ceremony. Hurry up and prepare.”

“I…-I don’t think I have anything to prepare.”

On the way here, Beverly Herbert said that she only needed to come over for a meal in peace and accompany them to toast the guests. She did not say anything else.

She had originally thought that it was just a meal, but now that she saw everyone so serious, she could not help but feel a little nervous.

Why was he as nervous as if it was a wedding?

It was still Ken Swanson who came over to hold her hand and said, “Don’t be nervous. Everyone who is here today is one of us. It doesn’t matter even if something goes wrong. No one will laugh at you.”

Melody Fox nodded. She secretly laughed at herself for being as nervous as a child despite having lived two lives.

Finally, the time has arrived for the ceremony.

At the front of the banquet, a small stage was built. The stage was covered with a red carpet and four high chairs were placed. The two sides were decorated with beautiful flowers. It was a little similar to the emcee’s stage for the wedding, but it was much more formal and solemn.

The host, David Marrow, walked onto the stage with a microphone and knocked on it with his finger.

“Everyone…”

Everyone’s attention was attracted.

David Marrow still had some talent as a host. The originally boring opening speech felt like a stand-up crosstalk, causing everyone at the banquet to laugh.

In the end, David Marrow became serious and said seriously, “In short, thank you for attending tonight’s banquet. Next, please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Colin Herbert and Mr. and Mrs. Ander Morgan. on stage.”

Soothing classical music was played on the spot.

The four of them walked onto the stage and sat on the four high chairs.

Then, Melody Fox went on stage.

The process was much more solemn and cumbersome than she had imagined.

After the five of them spoke to each other, David Marrow held the microphone and shouted, “Kneel!-“

Melody knelt down and saluted the four of them under David Marrow’s instructions.

After handing over coffee, Melody Fox greeted them one by one. The four people on the chairs immediately revealed gentle smiles.

After the Colin Herbert couple drank from the coffee cups, they handed the coffee cups to the hostess and took a tray covered with a red cloth from the hostess.

The two red cloths were lifted.

On one of the trays was a set of bowls and chopsticks made of solid gold and a heavy gold lock. On the other was a set of small clothes- shoes, socks, hat, and bib.

Looking at the things that baby would use, for some reason, Melody Fox suddenly felt a lump in her throat and tears fell uncontrollably.

Beverly Herbert quickly wiped her tears and smiled. “Good child, don’t cry. From now on, you’ll have parents and two of them! We’ll be your support from now on!”

Melody blushed and nodded vigorously.

Colin Herbert also said, “You can’t use these things for children. Leave them for your children to use. Originally, I said that there was no need to prepare these, but your godmother said that these are traditions and can’t be lacking, so I still prepared them. As long as you don’t mind.”

Melody quickly said, “I don’t mind! I’ll definitely take good care of it!”

It was the Ander Morgan couple’s turn. Because they were in a hurry, they didn’t prepare so many things and only took out a card.

“We didn’t have time to prepare anything, so we brought a card with us. There’s not much money in the card. Consider it a red packet for you. We’ll send you the gift tomorrow.”

“No need, no need. You don’t have to give me anything.”

“That won’t do. Keep it well.”

Zoe Morgan insisted on giving her the card. Melody had no choice but to accept it.

Ander Morgan, who was sitting at the side, opened his mouth. He wanted to say something soft, but he did not know what to say, so he just grinned.

Below the stage, Lucas Morgan laughed when he saw this. He whispered to the people at the same table, “Hey, did you see that? My father’s hands are trembling! I’ve never seen him so nervous.”

The person on the table laughed and looked at Ander. As expected, Ander Morgan was so nervous that his hands were trembling. Then, he laughed again.

On the stage, Melody did not know what the people below were laughing about. She was just embarrassed that she did not prepare gifts for the four of them in advance.

She was also inexperienced. In addition, Beverly Herbert had always said that there was no need to prepare anything. She did not know that they would give gifts. Therefore, she could not take out anything even though they had given her so many things.

However, at that moment, two more etiquette ladies carrying trays walked forward and gestured for her to hand the trays to the two pairs of parents.

Melody thought that the hostess had made a mistake, but when she saw Ken Swanson winking at her from the corner of her eye, she immediately understood that Ken Swanson had prepared this for her in advance.

Melody’s heart warmed. She carried the two trays to Colin Herbert and Ander Morgan respectively.

The two of them lifted the red cloth curiously. Melody Fox also looked over curiously and saw a man’s hat and a pair of women’s shoes on both trays.

This must be a tradition.

Otherwise, with Ken Swanson’s economic level, it was impossible for them to only prepare such things.

Sure enough, she heard someone below the stage say, “I didn’t expect Miss Fox to know these customs so well…”

Melody was relieved. She gave Ken Swanson a grateful look and mouthed, “Thank you.”

Ken Swanson smiled gently, his eyes filled with gentleness.

His emotions were already intertwined with hers. If she was happy, he would be happy too.

Soon, the process of identifying godparents was completed. Melody needed to accompany the two parents to toast at various tables.

When it was Melody’s turn to drink wine, Ken Swanson drank on her behalf. He drank large bottles of red wine, but he acted as if nothing had happened. His face was not red, and his heart was not beating. Clearly, his alcohol tolerance was not bad.

….

There were a lot of people to toast. Then, finally, the toast went to Quentin Parker.

Ken Swanson had just helped Melody finish a glass of wine when he saw Quentin Parker stand up and say, “I wonder if everyone has heard of the saying that one has to drink three glasses in a row to drink on behalf of others.”

Ken Swanson did not say a word and poured himself another cup.

After drinking it in one gulp, he poured a second cup.

Melody gently tugged at Ken Swanson’s sleeve, signaling him not to drink so quickly. However, Ken Swanson did not seem to understand and quickly drank it all.

The three glasses of wine were downed so quickly that even Ken Swanson blushed.

However, Quentin Parker did not intend to let Ken Swanson off just like that. He raised his glass and said, “Mr. Swanson, you’re good at drinking! Let me toast you again!”
