Chapter 105 The Price of Godparenthood
Finished
Sharon had never experienced the kind of intense, heart–wrenching love Becky might’ve had for Xavier, so she couldn’t really understand Becky’s feelings.
If Becky said she didn’t like him anymore, then she didn’t.
Back when James was born, Sharon had wanted to help her best friend find happiness.
But now? Whatever. She respected Becky’s choices.
Brendon nudged Xavier. “What are they whispering about?”
“Why don’t you go eavesdrop?” Xavier said.
Brendon rolled his eyes. “Do I look like that kind of guy?”
“Aren’t you curious?”
“And you’re not?”
Xavier didn’t respond, just kept his eyes on the figure walking ahead.
Brendon fell behind a few steps and peeked into the stroller at James.
“Wow! He’s adorable!”
Last time he hadn’t gotten a proper look, but now he could clearly see–this little guy looked just like Xavier.
A cuter, baby version of Xavier.
“Can I hold him?”
Abigail said, “Mr. Brendon, you can try.”
James was picky about who held him. He didn’t just go to anyone.
Abigail showed Brendon how to hold a baby, and he followed her instructions carefully.
“Wow, this little guy’s so light. I don’t even dare to hold him too tight.”
“Mr. Brendon, be careful. Don’t drop him.”
“Relax, I’m a reliable man.
He shouted toward Xavier, “Xavier, I’m holding your kid! He’s so cute–he actually let me hold him!”
Xavier turned around, gave him a look of mild disdain, then turned back.
Becky and Sharon heard the commotion and looked back.
Sharon scowled. “Who said you could hold my godson?”
Brendon called out, “From now on, I’m his godfather. That means I’ve got the right. James, I’ll give you money later, okay?”
Sharon squealed. “You’re trying to take advantage of me
Brendon blinked “How am I taking advantage of your
Tin James’s godinother, you’re lus godfather—that makes us a pair! I don’t want to be a pair with you! So no, you can’t be his guftather
Brendon’s face twitched. He looked at her like she’d lost it.
“Who said godparents have to be a couple? Sharon, sounds like you’re the one trying to take advantage of me

Sharon let go of Becky and stormed up to him, hands on her hips. “Me! Take advantage of you? Brendon, you’ve got jokes. I’d rather hit on a pig than you
“Great. Go flirt with a pig then–I’ll fetch you one right now.”
Sharon pointed at him. That’s not what I meant! Don’t twist my words! What I meant was, I wouldn’t take advantage of you. I don’t need to!”
Brendon replied, “Oh, please. Typical tsundere talk. Deep down, I bet you’re secretly into me. But listen up–I’m not interested. Don’t get your hopes up. I’m a legend.”
“Legend, my ass! You’re not even worthy of being a paddle on a rowboat!”
Becky quickly scurried over and scooped James out of Brendon’s arms.
“James is still little. Don’t go busting his eardrums.”
Sharon and Brendon glared at each other like they wanted to rip each other apart.
“Don’t you dare mess with my godson!” Sharon snapped.
“Too late. James is already my godson!” Brendon shot back.
Becky meekly cut in, “Did either of you ask me, his actual mom?”
Brendon turned to her. “Becky, come on. With my friendship with Xavier, I’ve got to be James’s godfather. It’s basically a given.
Before Becky could reply, Xavier interjected, “You think being a godfather is something you just declare? Where’s your sincerity? Who said you could be one?”
Brendon’s eyes shifted, and then he lit up.
“Becky, open your phone.”
“What for?”
Just open it. You’ll see.
“I don’t—”
Before she could even finish the word “want, a big hand reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.
Javier smoothly typed in the password, unlocked it, and brought up the payment QR code, then handed it to Brendon.
Brendon scanned it, tapped a few times
“Done. Now does that count as sincere
sincere enough?”
Xavier glanced at the screen. “What, are you tipping a beggar?”
Fine. He had nothing but money.
So Xavier scanned the code too, tapped a few times on the screen.
Brendon smirked and gave Sharon a smug look.
That’s the power of a real godfather”
Sharon huffed.
She couldn’t win when it came to money. Totally unfair
Becky stared at Xavier in dibebel How do you know my phone password”

Then he looked up at her.
You never shield it when n you type it in. I saw it once and remembered it
Becky scowled. “Ever heard of minding your own business?”
“It wasn’t on purpose. I’ve got a good memory. Just happened to catch it once and now it’s
“So you’re bragging about being smart now?”
“No need to brag. It’s just the truth.”
Ugh. This guy was so damn full of himself!
Brendon walked over to Xavier.
