Chapter 847
In the end, Narissa brought the kids out.
Entering a high end dessert shop, they ordered everything on the menu.
She only breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Alexia immersing herself in the taste of the desserts.
"Lexi, I treat you great, don't I?"
"Yup! I love you the most, Godmother!" Alexia did not even look up as she scooped a spoonful of the
dessert and handed it to Narissa. "Have some too!"
"Can you keep the secret for me now?" Narissa finally stated what was on her mind.
"Now? I can." Alexia was a sly child. Now that she was being treated to something delicious, everything
was on the table.
Yet, nobody knew what would happen after the meal.
Narissa was very satisfied to hear this, so she turned and smiled at Irvin.
Before she could say anything, Irvin already knew her thoughts. "Don't think you can bribe me with just
this."
"You rascal. Knowing what's on my mind even without looking at me?" Despite feeling somewhat
defeated, Narissa peered at him. "Say it. What do you want?"
"What I want is very expensive, though," Irvin stated while typing on his tablet.
"That's funny. Do you see this?" Narissa slapped her purse. "I'm loaded. You really think I can't afford
what a child like you wants?"
Irvin kept his tablet away and smiled slyly. "Remember what you said…" he recited in a cheerful tune.
Suddenly, Narissa felt chills on her back as a bad premonition crossed her mind.
Half an hour later, the trio exited the shop with a literal bag of cake in their hands before heading to a
boutique computer mall.
Under Irvin's guide, they headed straight to a computer located in the middle of the hall.
This computer was displayed in a window case and free from the discounted price tags that the other
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcomputers had. The only thing there lay was the gadget and a couple of queue stands sectioning the
area.
"This is it." There was a hint of excitement in Irvin's usually stoic expression. "This is the newest
computer system to come out of Diajan. With a chassis crafted from titanium, the net weight is under
five hundred grams. It houses a four dimensional wireless sensor and boasts insane operating speeds.
It's… almost perfect."
"You sure know a lot." Narissa did not think too deeply into it as kids often liked the newest technology.
However, she hesitated upon seeing the price tag. "It is a bit steep…"
"That's why I said you can never buy me over, Godmother." Irvin acted as if he had predicted this.
"What kind of expression is that?" Narissa felt like she was challenged. "It's not like I'm not willing to
spend the money. It's six million. If I do buy it, how will I explain it to your mommy? It'll give her the
shock of her life."
From Narissa's knowledge of Anastasia's wealth, even though she was already financially independent,
she was not that rich to the extent where she could spend six million on a toy.
Naturally, money was of no issue to Narissa, but she was afraid of it being over Anastasia's usual
consumption, thus leading to her spoiling someone else's child.
"Forget about it, then. I've almost saved up the required amount anyway. I think I'll have a nice long
chat with my godfather when we get back," Irvin purposefully said this while turning around, wanting to
leave.
The moment Narissa heard that he was going to talk to Jamie, she panicked as she grabbed onto the
child's clothes. "You brat. Why are you walking away? It's not like I'm not going to buy it!"
"I'm not forcing you to." Irvin smirked.
"Yes, yes, I'm buying this for you because I want to."
Feeling her heart break, Narissa took out a black card and handed it to the salesperson. "We'll be
taking the computer. Use this card."
"Of course, Miss. Please wait here while we wrap it up for you."
"Thank you, Godmother." Irvin did not forget his manners.
"Your way of thanking me sure is expensive. Remember to ask for your mother's permission before
tinkering with it, you hear me?" Narissa tried to salvage what was left of her dignity.
Yet, Irvin only interrupted her, "You're a scaredy cat, Godmother!"
Just as Narissa lowered her head, Alexia looked up and burped.
Finding this amusing, she reached out and wiped the cream from the corner of Alexia's mouth. "You
brat. You're talking bad about me right after I treated you to some cake. It's not right for you to forget
about gratitude, you know?"
"Nope. Lexi's right. Back at Mesdra, whenever there was a student that had a crush on someone else
in her kindergarten, they would confess no matter what! Even if they succeeded or failed, they still
expressed their feelings. Yet, you don't dare to voice your thoughts out despite being an adult,
Godmother. How shameful!"
Stunned, Narissa froze up upon hearing this.
She was also once an individual that broke the norm to pursue what she wanted. Yet now, she was
less than a child.
Didn't I escape from my family just to find love? Now that I've confirmed my feelings, why am I still tip-
toeing around like this?
At that moment, Narissa, who looked at Irvin with bright eyes, came to a conclusion in her heart.
…
The trio took a cab back to the Whites with Elise sending Jamie out.
Closing the door, Narissa went up to him with a fierce gaze.
Jamie, who knew that something bad was about to go down, was prepared to run. "You don't have to
send me off any further, Elise. Let's chat on WhatsApp later!"
He started to run upon saying that.
"Stop right there, Jamie Keller!" Narissa shouted at him, making him stop.
Although he did not run anymore, he did not turn around either. "What do you want now?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNarissa looked at Elise with an awkward gaze before mustering her courage. Walking up to Jamie, she
hesitated for quite a while before finally squeezing out the words. "Can you turn around?"
She wanted to be a little more gentle, but she could not control herself.
Helplessly, Jamie turned around. "Now that I've turned around, what more orders do you have?"
Although the two had always communicated in such an unserious way, Narissa still hesitated upon
seeing how aloof he was being.
Lowering her head, she could not bring herself to say it as she turned to Elise and her children in the
end, seeking for help.
"You can do it, Godmother!" Alexia shouted.
"Say it!" Mimi raised her arms weakly, cheering her on.
Guessing what was happening, Elise looked at Narissa with an encouraging gaze and nodded, hinting
that she should act on it.
Narissa, who got the support she needed, breathed in deeply and decided to face the issue by facing
Jamie head on. "Did you feel anything from the kiss yesterday?"
"And here I thought something happened." Jamie felt a bit more relaxed now. "Did you kiss me to piss
Jayden off? It's not my first time being used in this way. As friends, I can accept being sacrificed like
this for your future happiness. No more of that, though."
"You really can't tell at all?" Narissa clenched her fists nervously.
"I can. I can tell that Jayden likes you very much. You'll be a happy couple."
"That'll be up to me."
Suddenly, the conversation fell into a dead end again.
"Okay. I was wrong. Is that fine now? No matter what you choose, I will support you." For some reason,
Jamie conceded.
"Do you swear by it?"
"I swear."
"Then, I chose to be your girlfriend."
Huh???
