Li Yuan looked in the direction of the sound and immediately revealed a gentle smile.

He asked softly, "Long time no see, Alessa. Where are your parents?"

Aresa pointed into the distance and said in a light tone:

"They went to park the car."

However, Emma's eyes held a hint of wariness as she looked at the suddenly appearing Alessa.

She questioned Li Yuan somewhat angrily:

"who is she?"

"she......"

Li Yuan cannot say that Alessa is his servant.

I was just going to casually mention that she was my goddaughter.

But then he felt something was amiss, so he changed his words and said:

"Emma, ​​she is my goddaughter, her name is Alessa."

Because the term "god-daughter" in a foreign language context...

She could easily be mistaken for "Sugar Baby" or a kept mistress.

It carries strong connotations of money and sexual ambiguity.

Li Yuan didn't want others to think he was a pervert...

Upon hearing Li Yuan's explanation, Emma immediately wore a wronged expression.

She grabbed Li Yuan's leg and whispered sweetly:

"Li Yuan, I also want to be your goddaughter..."

Li Yuan gently tugged at Emma's arm and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Emma, ​​I can be your godfather."

Upon hearing Li Yuan's words, Emma's face immediately lit up with a happy smile.

"But you need to have adoptive parents, I'm not married yet."

Emma's face fell again when she learned that she would have to find a foster family for herself.

She gripped Li Yuan's clothes tightly, showing no intention of letting go.

"Oh! Li Yuan, whose child is this? He's so beautiful."

A familiar exclamation came from afar; it was Christopher and Ross, who had just parked their car.

The couple approached Li Yuan and said:

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time."

Li Yuan smiled and nodded to the couple.

Then, his eyes suddenly lit up and he had an idea.

Li Yuan asked with a light laugh:

"Ross, would you be interested in adopting another daughter?"

Christopher and Roston were caught off guard by Li Yuan's suggestion.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.

Alessa, standing beside them, turned her gaze to Emma.

A strong killing intent flashed in his eyes.

She stated bluntly:

"I don't want another sister; she'll take away my parents' love for me."

Upon hearing this, Ross quickly bent down and hugged Alessa, whispering:

"Alessa, no matter what, Mom will always love you."

Alessa gave a soft "hmm".

However, his gaze remained fixed on Emma.

Feeling that chilling killing intent, so real it seemed almost tangible,

Emma felt a chill run down her spine and hid behind Li Yuan.

She wanted to avoid Alessa's terrifying gaze.

Li Yuan smiled and comforted Alessa:

"Alessa, what you're worried about won't happen."

Christopher and Rose are the most responsible parents I've ever met.

Their love for you will never diminish.

Li Yuan paused, gently stroked Emma's head, and whispered:

"Moreover, this girl's background is also very pitiful."

Before the family of three could speak,

Li Yuan began to explain in a low voice why Emma had become an orphan.

When the couple heard that Emma had almost been sacrificed because her father wanted to advance his social status,

A look of heartache immediately appeared on her face.

Upon seeing this, Emma immediately showed a look of disgust.

She seemed to only want to stay by Li Yuan's side.

She has no interest in being adopted by other families.

Seeing that her parents seemed interested, Alessa quickly pointed at Emma and said:

"But I saw the aura of evil in her."

Emma turned pale with fright, afraid that Li Yuan would also see through the darkness in her heart.

However, Li Yuan didn't pay attention to Emma's expression.

He simply smiled and explained to Alessa:

"So I hope you can help Emma become a good child."

I believe in you, Alessa; your past can serve as a role model for her.

Aresa was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.

Li Yuan's words seemed to have moved her.

Aresa looked at Li Yuan, somewhat at a loss:

"Can...can I really do it?"

"sure!"

Li Yuan's gaze towards Alessa was full of affirmation.

He then went on to praise:

Even in the depths of hell, you still held onto kindness, Alessa, you are the best!

Hearing Li Yuan's praise, the murderous intent in Alessa's eyes completely dissipated.

Instead, there is a deep sense of anticipation.

She turned to look at her parents and said softly:

"What do you guys think? I think I should have a younger sister."

Christopher and Rose looked surprised.

But he still affectionately ruffled Alessa's hair and smiled as he agreed:

"sure."

"I don't!"

Just then, Emma suddenly shouted her refusal.

She looked at Li Yuan with a pitiful expression and pleaded softly:

"Li Yuan, don't send me away, I want to stay with you."

Seeing Emma's tearful eyes, Li Yuan sighed and patiently explained:

"But if you want to be my goddaughter, you need to have parents. Don't you want to be my goddaughter anymore?"

Emma said with a mournful face:

"But I'm afraid I'll never see you again."

Becoming someone else's adopted daughter means she can't stay by Li Yuan's side forever.

And judging from the way that girl named Aresa was talking to Li Yuan...

Their family probably doesn't live in Los Angeles.

At that moment, Ross suddenly smiled and said to Emma:

Emma, ​​you can see Li Yuan anytime.

We've come here with the intention of settling down in Los Angeles.

Li Yuan looked at Ross with some surprise and asked curiously:

"Why did you suddenly decide to move here?"

Ross shrugged and said softly:

"I wanted to get away from where I used to be, and Los Angeles was a good option."

And it's also closer to His Holiness the Bishop.

Li Yuan knew which place Ross was referring to, so he nodded and said:

"That's fine, even though Los Angeles is in chaos too."

After all, those hellish guys are either destroying the world in Los Angeles or New York.

Then he looked at Emma and asked with a smile:

"Are there still any questions?"

Emma opened her mouth, but eventually lowered her head resignedly.

It seems this is the only way.

Aresa came to Emma's side, extended her hand to her, and said:

"Come on, Emma, ​​from now on you're my sister."

Emma glanced at Aresa, who wasn't even as tall as her, and muttered under her breath:

"But I seem to be older than you..."

A mysterious smile immediately appeared on Aresa's face.

He said with certainty:

"Emma, ​​please believe me, I am definitely bigger."

Li Yuan covered his mouth and laughed, then after a moment said to Emma:

"Alessa is telling the truth; she's much older than you."

Emma looked around and realized that the adults seemed to think the same way.

He nodded helplessly and said:

"All right......"

After the adoption was finalized, Li Yuan drove the family of four to a restaurant for dinner.

At the same time, I called Kaplan.

Ask him to help with the arrangements for Christopher and Ross to adopt Emma.

After dinner, Li Yuan took the four of them to his home for a temporary stay.

He then called Aresa to the living room and chatted with her alone.

"Alessa, during this time back to normal life, has there been anything amiss with your soul?"

In response to Li Yuan's question, Aresa frowned slightly.

She pondered for a moment and said softly:

"There's nothing wrong with it. I feel like I'm no different from a normal person."

Li Yuan nodded in relief upon hearing this.

He then took out a backpack and handed it over.

"Here, take this backpack. It contains some medicine that you might need."

And a piece of clothing, with instructions on how to use it included.

Aresa obediently reached out and took the backpack, then put it on her back.

She glanced at Li Yuan and asked in an annoyed tone:

"It's a bit light. You didn't put anything in there, did you?"

Li Yuan laughed loudly and said:

"How could that be! Just reach in and feel it for yourself, and you'll see."

Just then, Megan knocked on the door and walked into the living room.

She held Emma's backpack and said to Li Yuan:

"Um... Li Yuan, you'd better take a look at this girl's bag; there's something strange inside..."
