Chapter 124 Chapter

As far as the conversation had gone, Lindey couldn't push any further, no matter what she was thinking. She nodded, saying, "Rea, you're like a daughter to me."

But if she really saw me that way, there was no way she'd be okay with setting me up with Wayne. Then again, maybe it was Wayne's idea-he did confess his feelings to me, after all.

"Alright, maybe we could have a small ceremony when Wayne and Jace have some free time. I could officially become your and Matthew's goddaughter," I suggested, watching Lindey's expression falter for just a split second.

It was clear she wasn't thrilled about making me her goddaughter.

In Kehlmark, godfamilies were basically like extended family, with all the same social rules. If I became Lindey and Matthew's goddaughter, dating one of their sons would be straight-up incest.

But I couldn't just ignore how kind she'd been to me for the past decade, and I wasn't about to let doubt mess that up.

"Okay," Lindey finally agreed.

I drove her back to the Johnston residence, and as we pulled up, we ran right into Jace. He was rocking a baseball cap and a matching jersey-so different from his usual CEO vibe.

He was a total thrill and a complete terror all at once.
