Chapter - 206

Zeke hesitated when he was right in front of Lacey’s place’s doorstep.

He had no idea if Lacey and her family would take Sharon in as part of the family.

Although Zeke was anxious, he brought himself to press the doorbell.

Lacey was the one who answered the door.

She looked at the little girl Zeke held in between his arms and exclaimed, “Huh? Who’s this little girl? She’s such a cutie pie!”

Hannah and Daniel rushed over, attracted by Sharon as well.

Zeke immediately explained, “She’s my best friend’s daughter and my goddaughter! Her name’s Sharon!”

“My best friend has been diagnosed with a chronic disease. He has to spend most of his time in the hospital. Her mother is dead. So I’ve decided to take her in and raise her for the upcoming few years because no one is available to take care of her.”

Lacey’s eyes gleamed and held Sharon in between her arms instead. “Sure! I won’t be lonely anymore in the future!”

“Sharon! I’m your godmother! Feel free to reach out to me, okay?”

Sharon was relatively shy and greeted Lacey timidly. “You smell great, Lacey.”

Sharon snuggled in between Lacey’s arms. “You’re such an adorable little girl! Your father must have had taught you well, huh?”

“Please call me godmother instead. It sounds wrong for you to address me by my name.”

“Godmother,” Sharon greeted Lacey politely as instructed.

Lacey kissed Sharon on the cheek. “You’re such a good girl!”

Hannah was the next one in line. She held Sharon in her arms immediately once it was her turn. “Come here! I’m your god-grandmother, Sharon! Let me have a look at your pretty face!”

“How old are you, Sharon?” asked Hannah.

“I’m four years old, grandma,” replied Sharon.

Hannah’s heart melted the moment she heard how Sharon greeted her. “Good! You’re really an adorable little girl!”

Daniel beckoned Sharon over immediately. “It’s my turn to cuddle you! I’m your god-grandfather, Sharon!”

Hannah refused to hand Sharon over to Daniel. “Look at your beard! I don’t want you to hurt Sharon!”

“Is it?” Daniel caressed his chin and rushed into his bedroom immediately to shave his moustache off before rushing out once again. “Come here! It’s my turn! I won’t accidentally hurt you with my moustache anymore.”

Everyone wanted to spend time with Sharon; they couldn’t get enough of her.

Before long, Sharon got herself familiar with everyone else. She flattered everyone as she greeted them accordingly.

Sharon even danced in front of them. The family of five was having a great time, as they would laugh occasionally.

Hannah stopped Sharon from dancing and held her in between her arms instead because she was afraid Sharon would be exhausted.

“Sharon, tell me! What do you want to eat? I’II make it for you!”

Sharon replied cautiously, “Can I have instant noodles?”

Hannah knitted her eyebrows. “Instant noodles? Sharon, what do you usually eat at home?”

“Instant noodles and plain bread with jams,” replied Sharon.

Hannah’s face turned gloomy all of a sudden. “What’s wrong with her father? Those aren’t meant for children like Sharon!”

“Sharon, I’ll prepare some meat dishes for you today, okay?”

Sharon shook her head immediately. “Grandma, don’t want to have meat! It’s too expensive! All need is some noodles to fill my stomach! Don’t worry! I’m a low maintenance child!”

Hannah’s tears streamed down her cheeks. “Sigh… What sort of life has she been living up until now?”

“Let’s go, Sharon! I’ll buy you some toys! I’ll prepare a lot of dishes for you tonight!”

Daniel was irritated as well. “I have never seen a father like this before! He’s abusing his daughter!”

“If things persist in the future, we’re not returning Sharon to him! We’ll take Sharon in instead!”

Zeke immediately explained the situation, afraid his parents-in-law would get overly worked up, “Dad, mom, calm down! Her father is but an ordinary farmer. Things have been tough on their family’s end. He didn’t mean to abuse Sharon either.”

Daniel dismissed Zeke’s words, “That’s not an excuse! He shouldn’t allow his daughter to go through such a miserable childhood!”

They were still complaining as they made their way out.

Hannah held Sharon in between her arms. She handed Sharon over to Daniel and got him to piggyback her whenever the young girl got tired. They refused to let her walk on her own.

Lacey got up and headed back to her room to make the bed. “I’ll tuck Sharon into bed today. I wonder if she can get used to sleeping with others?”

Zeke could no longer suppress his emotions. He walked towards Lacey and held her from behind.
