Celine felt truly moved. She hadn't expected Nigel and Fiona to want to take her in as their goddaughter. The truth was, she really liked Nigel and Fiona—watching how much they doted on Carly had always made her envious.
Not having a mom or dad had always been the biggest regret of her life.
And now, Nigel and Fiona wanted to fill that void.
Celine began to tear up. "I'd love that! Mr. Hampton, Ms. Jakeman, I'd love to be your daughter!"
Nigel and Fiona exchanged a glance, both overjoyed. Fiona pulled Celine into a hug. "That's wonderful, Celine. From now on, you're our daughter."
Celine nodded. "When I didn't say anything just now, it wasn't because I didn't want to. I just couldn't believe it. I'm really happy to become your daughter, Mr. Hampton, Ms. Jakeman!"
Nigel said, "Celine, you can't call us Mr. Hampton and Ms. Jakeman anymore. You need to change that."
Fiona laughed. "Celine, you should start calling us Mom and Dad."
Celine looked at the two of them, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Dad! Mom!"
"My dear daughter, Celine!"
All three of them laughed.
Nigel said, "Celine, now that you're our daughter, we won't treat you lightly. I plan to throw a grand and formal celebration, invite all the high society families, and publicly announce you're our daughter!"
Fiona nodded. "We're going to tell the whole world that we're your parents!"
Celine wasn't too fond of big parties. "I…"
"Celine, it's settled. Just listen to us."
Upon seeing how firm Nigel and Fiona were, Celine agreed. "Okay."
At that moment, Celine remembered Adam's existence. "What about Adam?"
Nigel's face turned serious. "Adam's still unconscious. He hasn't woken up yet. The Heartstring Venom in his system can only be cured by Anne!"
The Heartstring Venom in Adam's body was extremely troublesome.
