CHAPTER 685: CHAPTER 685: ABOUT TO ARRIVE

Evelyn Clayton chuckled lightly, "If the child is willing, why would I disagree?"

Samuel Quinn’s eyes darted around, instinctively saying, "Something feels off, why do I feel like you guys—"

Before Samuel Quinn could finish, Shane Sinclair calmly said, "Sharon, quickly tell Uncle Quinn if you want him to be your godfather. If you’re willing, from now on, Uncle Quinn will be your godfather."

Sharon’s eyes brightened even more, and she exclaimed, "I want that!"

As she spoke, Sharon gazed at Samuel Quinn with her bright eyes, "Uncle Quinn, do you agree?"

Seeing the child’s innocent expression, Samuel Quinn naturally couldn’t say no.

Besides, he already liked Sharon a lot.

But why did Samuel Quinn feel like he was falling into a trap?

Yara Reagan saw Samuel Quinn dazed and cleared her throat, "Brother Quinn, hesitating any longer will break the kid’s heart."

Seeing the light in Sharon’s eyes start to dim, Samuel Quinn quickly added, "I agree, I agree, Sharon, of course, Uncle agrees. Uncle was just thinking about what gift to choose for you."

Sharon’s sweet smile returned, and she motioned for Samuel Quinn to bend down. She gave him a kiss on the cheek and then sweetly said, "Godfather!"

Samuel Quinn’s eyes crinkled with a smile as he quickly agreed.

Then he rummaged through the pockets of his coat and ultimately gave his car keys to Samuel Quinn.

Evelyn Clayton noticed those car keys — a Maybach, worth two million right off the lot — and laughed while crying, "Brother Quinn, that’s a bit too much, no need, take it back."

"What’s wrong? I can’t gift my goddaughter a car?" Samuel Quinn exclaimed, "Don’t worry, I’ll give it to Sharon when she turns eighteen! Along with her coming-of-age ceremony, I’ll send it to the Sinclair Family!"

Sharon didn’t know the value of the car keys, just thought of them as a fun trinket, and took them to study on her own.

Before long, Sharon slumped onto the sofa, drowsy.

Seeing this, Shane Sinclair called the waiting nanny outside to come in and take Sharon back.

Once the nanny left with Sharon, Samuel Quinn finally looked at the people at the table and slowly hummed, "Spill it, why did you put on this show today, is there something you need from me?"

Yara Reagan and Iris Lockwood played dumb, sipping their drinks silently, while Shane Sinclair looked nonchalant, "Who’s trapping you? You got a goddaughter for free, later you’ll have someone to care for you, you’re clearly getting the better deal."

Samuel Quinn narrowed his eyes at Evelyn Clayton, "Is that so, Evelyn?"

Evelyn Clayton cleared her throat and said, "Brother Quinn, since we’re at this point, I won’t hide it from you. I hope you can become Sharon’s real dad."

Samuel Quinn was thoroughly confused now.

He stared blankly at Evelyn Clayton, "Huh? You mean, uhh—"

After much hesitation, Samuel Quinn cautiously asked, "Do you mean you want me to marry you?"

As he spoke, Samuel Quinn murmured, "It’s not that it can’t be done, but would your family approve of me? Previously, when I joked with Aunt Wang about marrying you, she almost hit me. Isn’t this a bit awkward? Maybe I could offer more bride price? How much would be appropriate? And if we get married, should I call Shane Sinclair ’brother’? But I’m older than him..."

"Stop!"

Evelyn Clayton, laughing and crying, stopped Samuel Quinn’s rambling.

"It’s not that I want you to marry me, I want you to pretend with me," Evelyn Clayton’s expression gradually grew more serious, "Sharon’s biological father is about to arrive in Aethelburg."
