The female supporting role in Quick Wear fell in love at first sight again
Chapter 126 The Substitute Little Princess 13
Mrs. Whitt glanced at the blond, blue-eyed boy. Edward and Henry had the same blond hair and blue eyes like the sea. If her Henry were alive, he would probably look like this.
Mrs. Whitt looked at Edward with red eyes. "Is your name Edward? You look a lot like Henry. If my Henry were still alive, he would be as old as you."
"Ellie, Edward is the brother I carefully selected for Chris. He's a good boy and will take care of Chris and protect her for me. Ellie, I respect your thoughts. Even if you don't want to acknowledge Edward as your godson, that's fine. As long as you're happy, it's a great honor for me."
Anna sighed and continued, "Ellie, as a mother, I understand your feelings for Henry. The day Chris was kidnapped, my heart ached. Seeing her lying in a pool of blood, dying, I was overwhelmed with regret. I hated myself for not protecting her. If I had a choice, I would rather be the one being hurt."
As a former friend, Anna's words comforted Mrs. Whitt's heart. Unlike others, Anna did not persuade her to move on, but as a mother, she empathized with her feelings.
"Anna, I can accept your proposal. I also like Edward as a child. If he is willing, I can even adopt him. But it depends on his own opinion. I won't force him."
Tao Yao poked Edward's arm and said, "Brother, would you rather have Aunt Ellie be your godmother or be her relative?"
Taoyao did not say that he was her son, as that would be too disrespectful to Mrs. Whitt's dead child. Henry's existence was indelible in Mrs. Whitt's heart, and no one could replace him.
Edward thought about it, then nodded slightly in agreement.
"I would like to be Mrs. Ellie's godson."
For Ellie, having Edward as her godson was already a good thing.
"Good boy, come and see me more often with Chris in the future. Anna, are you in trouble? You didn't come to me today for this, did you? "
She was not a fool. The person Anna came to see was Mrs. Whitt, which meant that she had to rely on her power to achieve a certain goal, but these were not important in her mind. Meeting Anna was already a rare occasion for her.
She has been immersed in sorrow these years. Her husband has long been separated from her, and the only title that is valuable to her is Mrs. Whitt.
Anna lowered her head in shame. When she knew that Ellie was Mrs. Whitt, she felt not only heartache for Ellie but also deep guilt. Ellie had not had a good life in recent years, and as her good friend, she had never come back to accompany her when she was so sad.
"Ellie, I'm here today to dissuade you from adopting a child. Katherine has abused many children in the orphanage over the years. She locked the disobedient children in the attic and denied them food or water. Many children starved to death. But my father is afraid that this matter will be exposed and affect the family's reputation, so he doesn't want Katherine to be punished."
"Ellie, do you know any influential ladies in the circle? I hope to use them to bring Katherine down, so that I can preserve the reputation of the VON family to the minimum extent possible."
Mrs. Whit was shocked after hearing what Anna said. She didn't expect that the kind and amiable Catherine would abuse the child. Thinking about it carefully, she felt that Catherine had set up a trap for her that day.
"Anna, now that you've said that, I remember someone. I met a high-ranking official's wife in the Queen's Club. She's passionate about various charities and is well-received in the circle. Many people follow her footsteps. You can go find her."
"As long as she speaks out against Catherine, no one will dare to adopt a child from her in the future."
Anna was very curious about the lady that Ellie mentioned. Could there really be someone with such a high reputation?
"Ellie, is this lady so famous? Why have I never heard of her?"
Ellie nodded. "Anna, this lady's husband's family is very prestigious and has served several kings. Her eldest son is currently running for election, and her husband is also a well-known high-ranking official."
"You don't come back often, so naturally you don't know. When I first entered the circle, my status was too low to have any contact with these ladies. But Whit's business has been growing bigger and bigger in recent years. People I couldn't meet before are now interacting with me."
"By the way, an invitation just arrived. There's a tea party tomorrow afternoon, organized by this Lady Josephine. I'll take you there and try your luck, Anna. Lady Josephine is quite traditional and doesn't like overly radical remarks."
"When the time comes, you'd better be careful with your words. There's another reason why she's on good terms with me. Her youngest son died at birth, and she feels we share a similar past, so she usually takes good care of me."
Anna listened carefully, then looked at Ellie gratefully.
"Thank you, Ellie."
Mrs. Whitt shook her head nonchalantly, "Anna, don't be polite to me."
Anna chatted with Mrs. Whit for a while, and when it was getting dark, they returned to the hospital.
The next afternoon, Taoyao and Edward were changed into new clothes and followed Anna to the tea party.
The tea party was held in an ancient castle, and the theme of the tea party was retro and nostalgic.
Tao Yao looked at the layers of her skirt. The red cake skirt wrapped her like a dumpling. She wore a small blue hat on her head, round-toed leather shoes, white socks, and her face was painted white with blood-red lips.
Edward's hair was combed up, he wore a black tuxedo, snow-white gloves on his hands, and white socks that reached his calves.
Edward held up Taoyao's skirt as he walked. The skirt was too long and Taoyao could easily be crushed while sitting in a wheelchair.
Tao Yao was shocked by the scene before her. The road in front of her was paved with flowers, jewels and gold were scattered on the ground, the dome was engraved with beautiful and exquisite reliefs, the magnificent hall was filled with famous paintings, various exquisite cakes, and high-heeled glasses were filled with mellow wine.
This place is comparable to a royal palace, and any one of the various ornaments inside can be sold for nine figures at an auction.
The blonde woman was holding a goblet in her hand, standing under the flowing fountain in the distance, with a perfect smile on her face.
Mrs. Whitt covered her face with the fan in her hand and introduced Anna in a low voice.
"That's Josephine, Anna. Standing next to her are the ladies of several large families. Don't speak rashly later. Lady Josephine doesn't like being offended. She prefers people who follow the rules."
Anna looked at the gorgeously dressed women in the distance and nodded secretly, "Okay, I understand."
