Chapter 270
Someone said, “Indeed. And Ms. Jones shares some resemblance in demeanor with Mrs. Xenos. It’s really an extraordinary connection.”
The Xenos family is truly blessed with looks. Mr. Levi Xenos and Ms. Jones look so well–matched.”
“People who won’t know might think they’re a family. The crowd buzzed with chatter.
Ruby watched Levi and Cynthia stand together and thought. They do look like a great match. Besides, with Levi’s character, it’s clear that he has quite a good impression of Ms. Jones since he took the initiative to speak for her.
Ruby and Sam exchanged a glance and then had an idea in their minds. Sam knew what she was thinking. He joked, “Mr. Jones, your daughter is so lovely and beautiful. Does she have a boyfriend? If not, my son Levi is still single.
Sam asked that bluntly, and everyone immediately understood what he meant.
They thought, “Wealthy people are so straightforward and efficient. We can all tell that Mr. and Mrs. Xenos have taken a liking to Cynthia and want her to be their daughter–in–law.”
Justin understood as well, but his face showed an awkward expression. Shirley couldn’t help but say, “Cynthia has already been married, and it’s her second marriage. She’s a married woman now.” Then, in a low voice, she added, “I’m still single, though..
The people around just ignored her, considering her a clown. Ruby and Sam acted as if they hadn’t heard her at all.
Justin glared at Shirley and said, She is married, and I’m sure you both are quite familiar with her husband. It’s Jonathan Bennett from the Bennett family in Betrico.
“Jonathan?” A hint of surprise appeared on Ruby’s face. “Whitney’s younger brother?” Justin nodded. “Yes.”
Ruby’s gaze carried a hint of complexity. “The Bennett family.The Bennett family was not an easy family at all. It was very complicated with deep issues. Ruby’s look at Cynthia showed a touch of sympathy and regret
Sam chuckled and said, “Our Xenos family always seems a step behind the Bennett family.” Ruby chuckled as well.
Then she turned to Cynthia and said, “I’ll just call you Cynthia. Honestly, Sam and I are both fond of you. I thought among my four sons, each with their unique personality, at least one would suit you. But since you’re married, they’re out of luck
Cynthia was surprised when Ruby bluntly said those words without any reservation. Even though Cynthia felt a bit shy, she responded gracefully, “It’s me who’s not fortunate enough to match up with the four gentlemen.”
Ruby looked at Cynthia, admiring her open and confident demeanor. Then she directly suggested, “In that case, how about, you become my goddaughter?”
Cynthia paused for a second. She thought. ‘She’s my idol indeed. Her words are always so surprising Ruby clung to Cynthia’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go.
Seeing Cynthia lost in thought, she was worried that Cynthia might refuse and then started to gently convince her.
Ruby said, “See, we really are destined to meet, aren’t we? You know our eldest and the third sons. When you were young. I even saved you, and my husband held you when you were born Cynthia felt a bit puzzled and complicated.
Ruby was her idol, the guiding light she had believed in for year She was the strength that encouraged Cynthia and helped her escape from despair during difficult times.
All these years, Cynthia had kept Ruby in her heart, always following her news, her speeches at the United Nations, and her efforts to help disadvantaged children worldwide.

Ruby was a magnificent and brilliant woman. Cynthia’s biggest dream in life was to see her idol again, maybe get an autograph or something. Now, she finally met her idol, and within ten minutes, she was asked to become her goddaughter.
Cynthia admitted that everything was happening too suddenly. Even someone as calm as she found it hard to handle. Besides, she did have some concerns. The Xenos family was a noble, powerful and wealthy family.
Cynthia had heard Jonathan mention before that the Xenos family and the Bennett family had some stories. She wondered if being accepted as their goddaughter would affect the two families. Of course, these were minor concerns.
The most important thing was that Cynthia found it unrealistic. Having been a fan of Ruby for eighteen years, she was now suddenly being asked to be Ruby’s goddaughter. She felt a little dizzy as if she was about to float.
Ruby noticed Cynthia’s hesitation and felt a bit disappointed. However, she didn’t give up. Her favor for this child was very strong, coming from deep within her.
A voice inside her heart was saying that she would regret not keeping Cynthia close and seeing her often. Ruby even came up with a crafty idea.
She said, “Cynthia, Sam has given you our family heirloom–that pendant. It has been passed down for several generations. The fortune teller said it’s tied to the Xenos family’s karma and only a Xenos can handle it, so…
Hearing that, Cynthia felt a little speechless, yet amused. Her idol even made up such a superstitious story just to take her as her goddaughter.
Sam evén echoed from the side, “Yeah, when I gave you that pendant, I didn’t know either. So, you can only be our goddaughter and join our Xenos family” Cynthia didn’t know what to say.
Cynthia turned around to glance at Hector and Levi. Both of them reflexively nodded in unison and said, “Indeed!”
Justin was so anxious. He thought, “What the hell is wrong with Cynthia? The Xenos family wants to take her in as their goddaughter. This is huge for her and our Jones family–a real stroke of luck. Why is she still hesitating?”
But Justin knew Cynthia’s character. If she was up for it, she’d agree without a second thought. If not, no one could force hep 10 agree. So, he could only stand aside and feel worried.
Selena stood by watching Ruby chat endlessly with Cynthia, feeling uneasy. She felt that the two of them seemed more like mother and daughter.
Ever since Shirley’s and Cynthia’s identities switched, the bond between her and Cynthia as mother and daughter had faded away. Even though Cynthia still called her Mom, her indifference really got to her.
Besides, Shirley acted as if she owed her all the time, so she felt really exhausted.
After talking for a while, Ruby asked carefully, “Cynthia, are you not willing to be our goddaughter? You know, if you don’t want to, we won’t pressure you.”
Cynthia, who had been silent, suddenly smiled and said, Td love to
