Chapter 495 Little Jelly Bean Acknowledged Her Godmother

Xylean blushed after being questioned so suddenly by Little Jelly Bean. Before she could even reply, Yandel smirked and replied in a confident tone, “Not my girlfriend but my fiance.” “What is a fiance?” Little Jelly Bean asked Yandel while pouting her lips. Yandel explained in a very simple way, “Fiance is like someone you want to marry and have babies with. Like your parents.” The moment that statement was made, everyone turned to look at Xylean with a warm gaze. Little Jelly Bean nodded seriously and said, “Oh, I know uncle. Then, shouldn’t I call her aunty?” Verian burst out laughing and said, “Jelly Bean, you called her pretty sister a second ago and now you’re calling her aunty? What exactly are you going to call her then?” This little rascal had confused her formalities. However, a child would be oblivious to formalities anyway. Little Jelly Bean stared at Xylean while blinking her huge eyes. She opened her mouth and spoke in a serious tone, “Aunty.” Xylean blushed since this was her first time anyone had called her aunty. She immediately walked over and grabbed onto Little Jelly Bean’s hand while intentionally changing the topic, “Jelly Bean, Monty and I had agreed before that you will be my goddaughter so you can’t call aunty and you have to call me your godmother!” Yannis was in an incredibly good mood as she said while laughing, “Oh you bunch of adults keep making Little Jelly Bean call you guys differently. You guys are confusing poor Little Jelly Bean now. Jelly Bean, call them whatever you like!” Xylean carried Little Jelly Bean from Yandel’s arms and walked toward the couch. She said after sitting down, “Jelly Bean, I have also prepared a gift for you. Why don’t you open it and tell me if you like it or not?” While Little Jelly Bean sat in Xylean’s lap, she opened up the gift box with both hands. Verian had Madam Leah prepare some snacks and tea before sitting down. She said, “Can you guys not buy so many gifts for my child next time? You all will spoil her.” It would be impossible for Yannis not to spoil her since she finally had herself a granddaughter so she said, “No way. Our Little Jelly Bean is a princess now, isn’t she?” Little Jelly Bean replied in a childish tone, “Daddy said, we shouldn’t live extravagantly and be wasteful. I can’t play too much because it will affect my intelligence so I won’t play with toys everyday.” Yannis burst out laughing as she watched the little rascal’s stiff attitude as she said, “Riana, this child is on the right path. You don’t need to worry about her.” After Little Jelly Bean finished opening Xylean’s gift, she noticed the gift was an intricately made doll. Little Jelly Bean hugged the doll then gave Xylean’s cheek a kiss before saying, “Thank you, godmother!” “I’m glad you love it, Jelly Bean.” Yannis teased Little Jelly Bean. “Jelly Bean, so you kissed your godmother because she gave you a doll and even your uncle gets a kiss when he didn’t even give you anything. Why didn’t you kiss your grandma when I gave you a dress?” Little Jelly Bean immediately got out of Xylean’s arms, ran over to Yannis and immediately kissed Yannis’ cheeks! Yannis was incredibly happy as she kissed Little Jelly Bean’s little face back. She then said, “Oh, Jelly Bean, you’re grandma’s beloved.” Verian was worried about Yannis’ weak health since she had just gone through a surgery so she reminded her, “Jelly Bean, your grandma’s body is weak, don’t keep asking your grandma to carry you around all the time.” “Says who. I am more than happy to carry Little Jelly Bean around. When my mood gets better, my health will obviously get better as well.” Yandel obviously could tell his mother’s mood was incredibly well so he told Verian, “Just let mom carry her since it’s rare for mom to be in such a wonderful mood.” Yannis intentionally hinted, “Yeah, not only can I carry Little Jelly Bean but I can even carry the baby in your belly after it's out, on my other arm. I want to also carry Yandel and Xylean’s child around next time, okay? Hence, it’s decided. Till then, don’t you guys judge me for being old and unable to carry your children around.” Verian was worried that Xylean might be embarrassed so she jokingly said, “Mom, I’m worried that even if we’re willing to do that next time, you’d be unwilling to come over. So, don’t you complain about being tired then, okay?” “I won’t ever complain about being tired. I feel several years younger just by being with the children.” Little Jelly Bean pouted her lips, looked up at Xylean and said, “Godmother, are you afraid of earthworms?” “No, what’s up?” “Can you go catch some earthworms with me? I want to fish in the pond at the back.” “Sure.” Xylean accompanied Little Jelly Bean to dig up some earthworms in the courtyard as she brought along her little tools. Verian looked out at the courtyard through the window before saying, “Xylean, are you sure you can get along with Little Jelly Bean?” Yannis sighed before saying, “Initially I felt that Xylean’s temper was bad but after some time, this child turned out to be quite the kind soul. She repeatedly talked about not liking children but just look how happy she’s playing with Little Jelly Bean now.” Yannis eyeballed Yandel and said, “Oh Yandel, you need to work harder, you know. Heaton is the same age as you and look, he’s on his way to his second child now. You, on the other hand, aren't married yet.” Verian diffused the situation by saying, “Mom, you can’t rush these things. If my brother and Xylean one day came to their senses, it won’t take long for them to have a child now, right?” Yannis recalled her initial serious question as she reached out to carefully touch Verian’s stomach while asking, “When is the expected delivery date?” “About 13 days from now but I just somehow feel like in the past two days, this child has been quite excited to pop out of my belly.” “Sigh, it must be your own excitement then. Don’t be too nervous. Until Heaton returns, your brother and I will stay in North City to keep you company. Oh, that’s right, where’s Heaton’s father? Why haven’t we met any of our in-laws even though we’re here for a while now?” “Dad’s on a vacation and he hasn’t returned yet. However, dad said he’ll be returning in a few days since I’d be giving birth soon.” “It seems like our in-laws are in great health. He’s still able to have fun and travel at his age.” “Yeah, dad’s body has always been quite healthy. Mom, you should watch your health too. You’re getting older and the most important thing is your health now.” Yannis patted her hand and said, “I will live a long and healthy life for you guys. I still want to see Little Jelly Bean grow up and get married.” Initially Yannis told her that they would be staying at a hotel tonight but Verian refused so she had Madam Leah arrange three guest rooms for them. Yannis was also worried about Verian since she was pregnant so she stayed in the Fudd family home. Little Jelly Bean led Xylean to her room at night. Since the both of them had formed quite the friendship during the day, Little Jelly Bean wanted to sleep with Xylean at night. Verian could not help herself from laughing as she said, “Jelly Bean, how could you sleep with your godmother when your bed’s so small?” Little Jelly Bean ran over with her own pillow as she said, “I’ll sleep with godmother in her room then!” Verian noticed the little rascal holding onto her tiny pillow with one hand while the other was hugging Xylean’s leg. It seemed like she no longer wanted her own mother now. “So, you don’t want your own mother anymore when you have a godmother?” Little Jelly Bean replied with her sweet tongue, “She doesn’t visit often so I’ll sleep with her for a few days. However, I am able to sleep with Monty everyday and besides, Monty, you have a baby in your belly. Daddy said I am not allowed to sleep with Monty because he’s worried that I might accidentally squish the baby.” Verian stopped teasing her as she patted her little head before asking Xylean, “Are you sure you’re fine with sleeping with her? Little Jelly Bean moves around a lot when she sleeps. She has a habit of stealing your blanket.” “Why wouldn't I be? I have connected well with Little Jelly Bean and I am planning to tell her a story of a mermaid tonight.” Verian instinctively asked, “What about my brother?” Xylean blushed as she stuttered, “Him, why would he want to listen to a bedtime story anyway? He’s not a child! Besides, I’m not even sleeping with him!” Verian was speechless.
