Chapter 383 (2/2)

“Last time, you mentioned to me that you would like me to hold the naming ceremony and be the godfather of your child after they were born, and I promised you.” Crick laughed and said, “Of course, I can’t do it anymore. However, that doesn’t matter. You’ll have Anna as your child’s godmother instead.”

Knight Charles was stunned, then understood the meaning of his monarch, and looked at Anna at once. “Will I?”

Anna was still confused about why her brother had suddenly mentioned this, so she looked at Crick with a blank face.

Crick sighed in his heart and nodded with a smile. Only then did she relax and make the promise.

Alas! My sister’s intelligence is only ten. She’s really not very smart!

Upon seeing his sister’s mediocre performance, Crick was worried. Even with the help of loyal subordinates, as well as consultant Romon Geerteng, his sister was still too weak to support the family business.

With a deep sigh, Crick couldn’t help thinking of her marriage.

His sister wasn’t powerful at all. Relying on her alone, it would be hard to keep the family business alive. Thus, it would better to find a suitable husband for her while Crick was still alive. Then the couple would support each other and pass on the blood of the Keane Family.

However, her husband should be a man with a good personality, but not too aggressive. He couldn’t have a powerful background, either; otherwise, he might take advantage of Crick’s sister and annex the whole Keane Family.

Thinking about it, Crick couldn’t help sighing.

Romon looked at the worried look on Crick’s face and then at Anna, who was somewhat confused. He understood more or less what Crick was thinking, so he said with a smile, “All right, I have one more thing to say. Of course, it’s just for reference.”

The others in the conference room all looked at him, but he wasn’t scared at all. He smiled and said, “I am currently a tutor for Stephen Carter, the fourth son of the Carter Family in the Kingdom of thousands of Springs. This time, I brought him to propose to Miss Anna.”

The others were shocked at that, then they looked at him in a hostile way.

Romon had gone through countless storms in his life, so he didn’t care about their attitudes at all. He laughed and said, “Stephen is only fifteen years old now. To be frank, he’s a bit young and innocent. His relationship with his three older brothers isn’t good, nor is he highly valued by his father. I watched him grow up from a little child, so I can promise that he has good character. You don’t have to worry about him colluding with others to steal the Keane Family’s fortune. He’s kind of talented, so he may be able to make some achievements in the future.”

“Of course, his greatest advantage is that he’s good looking.” Romon looked at Anna with a smile. “Is Miss Anna interested in meeting him?”

Anna blushed immediately and didn’t know what to say.

Crick coughed twice and asked, “Did you bring the Projection Crystal?”

To be honest, Crick was also curious about how handsome Stephen was.

Romon nodded and took out the Projection Crystal to show the image of Stephen through a spell.

There was a beautiful little boy, as quiet as a girl, sitting at his desk and reading quietly. With the slow change of the image in the Projection Crystal, the boy gradually grew up. He learned swordsmanship, archery, and horseback riding, but it could be seen that he wasn’t very good at any of them. He also learned spells, but he wasn’t doing very well there, either. However, his innocence had never changed, nor did his handsomeness. He was indeed a good looking man.

After a while, the image disappeared. Romon put away the Projection Crystal and smiled at the others. He said, “Did you see that? I wasn’t boasting. Stephen is definitely one of the most handsome men in the world.”

Crick smiled and turned to Anna.

Anna’s face flushed, and her head hung down.

Crick immediately understood her and burst into laughter.

“This world prefers good looking men a lot!” He laughed and said, “This young man is handsome, and that’s surely an advantage! As for his personality and other aspects, we can test them later. All of you will help me with that, okay?”

Upon hearing that, the others understood his meaning and immediately burst into laughter. The Baroness Amyveile even went to Anna and congratulated her in a low voice.

Anna’s face turned even redder. She was so shy that she wanted to dig a hole to hide herself in.

The gloomy atmosphere of the meeting room from earlier was gone. Instead, it was full of joy.
