The Killer Queen ( Noella Briony ) novel Chapter 403

The entire Gallagher family was left speechless!

What did Tristan just say? Adopt Millie as a goddaughter?!

Every daughter in the Gallagher household was green with envy! If we're being honest, there was a chance Millie could have joined the Schnabel family even before Randy kicked the bucket. But if Tristan and his wife were planning to adopt her as their goddaughter, well, that changed everything!

Randy was flabbergasted, “Mr. Schnabel, are you sure you’re not pulling our leg?”

“Of course not! Sienna and I have discussed it, and we think Millie is a wonderful girl. She's been a dear friend to our Noella for years. On one hand, we want to thank Millie for her company.”

“On the other hand, we genuinely like the kid. To be honest, I was hoping Millie would become our daughter-in-law! But that's all down to fate, so for now, Millie will be our goddaughter!”

This was the solution Noella and Tristan came up with after much discussion. Adopting a goddaughter wasn’t a big deal for the Schnabels, but for Millie, it was a game-changer! Whether Millie and the Schnabel son were fated to be together was another story, but at least she truly clicked with the Schnabel daughter!

At the very least, this made things official, even if it wasn't on paper. Who knows, maybe Millie really could end up marrying into the Schnabel family. Sienna thought it would also legitimize Millie’s stay at the Schnabel residence. It didn’t bother them, but they had to consider the girl’s reputation!

If word got out that she was living with a man’s family without any talk of marriage, it wouldn’t sound good. Sienna chuckled, “Our boys are thick-skinned, but Millie’s a good kid. We can’t let people gossip about her. From now on, the Schnabel household is Millie’s home, and we welcome our daughter back anytime!”

Millie had only just learned about this herself. Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Noella! She knew that in this world, only Noella would care so much for her thoughts!

Tristan beamed, “If you have no objections, Millie is officially our goddaughter. We’ll hold the adoption ceremony after Noella and Palmer’s engagement!”

Randy was stunned! The Schnabels weren’t just serious; they were also planning an adoption ceremony for Millie? This was commitment!

“Of course, we have no objections! It’s Millie’s good fortune to be favored by Mr. Schnabel and his wife!” Randy’s face was beaming, while the rest of the Gallagher family couldn’t hide their sour expressions!

After announcing this, Tristan and Sienna got up to leave. “We won’t intrude any longer. This is for the youngsters to discuss. Millie, if you ever need anything, just go to Noella and your... brother!”

Despite being alumni and peers, Jasper had skipped grades and was technically younger than Millie. This made Jasper Millie’s little brother!

Millie covered her mouth to hide her giggles, teasingly looking at Jasper, whose face was beet red, “Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to bother my dear Jasper, hehe.”

Jasper felt like dying. It was all Tristan's fault for adopting godchildren willy-nilly!

Randy tried to persuade them to stay longer, but after hearing Tristan needed to check on Sexton, he let them go. After seeing them off, Randy looked at Millie with rare affection!

Christina snidely remarked, “Since when did Millie get to know Ms. Schnabel? And why didn’t she tell us? It’s like we’re not even family.”

Millie raised an eyebrow, “Back when you used to bully me, remember? You almost threw me into a manure pit. Too bad, if you had been the one thrown in, maybe you would’ve met a mentor too.”

The Gallagher household fell silent. The Gallagher children’s constant squabbles were something Randy tacitly allowed as part of a survival-of-the-fittest scheme. Still, bringing it up like this was bound to displease Randy!
