Margaret smiled at Ashley, but in her heart, she was calculating how to bring this matter up with Pablo

Ashley was now her goddaughter, which naturally made her Pablo’s goddaughter as well.

However, she wasn’t sure of Ashley’s age

After asking carefully, she learned that Ashley was even a year older than Agnes

This meant that even Oliver would have to call her “elder sister.”

That evening. Pablo returned to the residence.

Margaret took the initiative to attend to him, helping him change and wash his face, meticulously taking care of every detail.

Pablo had been neglecting her recently. If she had no business, she wouldn’t come to him, so Pablo waited for her to speak.

After finishing her duties, Margaret personally made coffee and said, “I have something to discuss with you.”

Pablo took a sip of tea and replied indifferently. “Speak.”

Margaret sighed softly, Today, Ashley mentioned that she has no relatives in Argentum. Her grandfather, Finnian, is far away in Zloimond. Since the King has arranged for her to stay at our residence, she suggested recognizing us as her godparents. What do you think?”

Pablo frowned. “Reject it.”

“She hinted at it a couple of days ago, and I didn’t respond. Today, she brought it up directly. It’s hard for me to refuse, especially since her title has already been granted, and she’s the granddaughter of Finnian.” Margaret said, looking troubled.

Pablo replied, “Getting involved in this matter would be a mistake. The King hasn’t given any hints or explicit orders. Knowing my character, he arranged for Ashley to stay at our residence. If we take her as our goddaughter, it would raise suspicions of collusion between the inner palace and the court. I will definitely not get involved in this mess.

Margaret inwardly groaned. She knew Ashley’s goal was to win over Pablo.

Of course, Pablo wouldn’t engage in any private dealings with her, but if it were just a nominal relationship. she didn’t see any harm. Once Ashley entered the palace, there would hardly be any interaction.

Moreover, she had already agreed, and Ashley had knelt and kowtowed, addressing her as “godmother.” What was she to do now?
