It was no wonder Cindy had been so obsessed with him for so many years. Although there were many outstanding men out there, there were too few who could be as excellent as Theo.
Our eyes met and I looked away first.
Seemingly sensing something, Tyler looked at me with a look of relish. "You're fighting again?"
I did not want to answer his question and began changing the subject. "Has Grayson arrived yet?”
Tyler nodded.
I searched everywhere for Grayson and Petra in the hall, while Tyler kept looking at Theo with a deeper meaning in his eyes.
There were not many rules in the Schuman household, nor were there any complicated ceremonies to get one's name recorded in their genealogy. Jeshua was the witness, and he went on stage to say a few words. Later, Carlson and Yvonne led me on stage. Under Jeshua’s witness, I was officially announced as their daughter and my name was written in the genealogy.
"Take this, my good daughter." Yvonne took a box from the mistress of ceremonies. "I've been hoping to have a daughter. Your dad and I bought this when we first got married, hoping to have a daughter and give this to her when she grew up. I can finally give it to you now."
Yvonne’s eyes turned slightly red after saying those words.
Carlson patted her back. "Don’t cry on such a happy occasion."
I took the box and gave them a hug. "From now on, I'll fulfill my duty as your daughter, Mom and Dad."
"Oh, my good girl." Yvonne and Carlson hugged me back.
Later, they introduced me to the guests. Almost all of them looked at me with curious eyes, wanting to know how an ordinary girl like me ended up becoming Carlson and Yvonne's daughter-one who was so greatly valued too.
After talking to one of the guests, I looked at Petra and Grayson who were standing in the distance.
Tyler leaned closer to my ear. "What are you planning t o do?"
I smirked and walked toward Petra and Grayson, saying with a smile, "Welcome, Petra, Grayson!"
