44 Chapter 44: The Godfather

"Let me be Xiao Xiaya's godfather?"

Aaron found it somewhat amusing.

Godfather, similar to the Eastern term of adoptive father, even held guardianship rights. If anything were to happen to Xiao Xiaya's parents, he would, in theory, be responsible for taking care of her.

Furthermore, to put it in a more sinister light, if the Earl were to pass away and Colin were to die, Aaron could take advantage of his guardianship to claim the position of Count of Green Forest directly!

From a legal standpoint, this would make him more legitimate than Sean.

"I don't really mind, but I'm afraid Colin won't agree… Besides, this is just a rumor, it could have been spread intentionally by someone's wife to sow discord…"

Aaron shrugged: "We don't need it, so there's no need to push for it, you understand?"

As he spoke, he pressed his temples.

Just now, his Spirituality surged, as if he sensed a vague scene, but nothing was clear.
