Jelly Bean agreed?

Maddox would be crazy to believe such nonsense. He laughed coldly and said, "You're not qualified to be her godfather. If you want to be a father so badly, give birth to one yourself."

Listening to Maddox's words, Geoffrey was instantly upset.

"You just said you owe me a favor. I only have this one request."

"Oh, really?" Maddox's expression was indifferent as if he was talking about something unimportant, "If that's the case, then let's forget about the favor."

Maddox turned around and walked away with Jelly Bean still giggling in his arms after he finished speaking. The child stopped laughing and looked at her father curiously with her big round eyes. Poor Geoffrey didn't see the change in Maddox's expression after he had turned around; tenderness had replaced his original coldness within a split second. He looked at Jelly Bean and said in a low voice, "Little Dummy, you nearly acknowledged a buffoon as your godfather."

Such a buffoon didn't matter.

Wasn't it enough to call him Uncle Geoffrey? Why did he want to be called Godfather? What a terrible address.

Maddox had made up his mind. He wasn't going to let Geoffrey be Jelly Bean's godfather.

After knowing Maddox wasn't going to change his mind, Geoffrey pulled out all the stops at Minerva. She was a little overwhelmed by his persistence.

"If Maddox is unwilling, then there is nothing I can do. Geoffrey... I'm not the only parent Jelly Bean has. Also, don't you think it'll sound better if Jelly Bean calls you Uncle Geoffrey instead?" Geoffrey was taken aback for a second. He tilted his head and doubted. "You think so?"

"Of course." Minerva smiled as she nodded and patted his shoulder. "Uncle Geoffrey sounds great. Think about it. Nowadays, the title 'godfather' is ambiguous. Although we don't think it's wrong, what about others? What will they think then? What if they misunderstand? So, after giving some thought, I think Maddox is right to refuse. No matter what, Jelly Bean is supposed to address you as an uncle. Besides, it's just a title. If you really like Jelly Bean, you will naturally be able to get along with her."

He had to admit, Minerva had successfully persuaded him.

People might really misunderstand if she called him Godfather. It would take ten or twenty years until she grew up, and Geoffrey would have become an old man then. It didn't matter if people gossiped about him, but not Jelly Bean.
