Carl asked calmly, “So what’s your great solution, then?”

The question bounced back at her. Lily dodged it. “I don’t know anything about these things. I can’t think of a good plan. If only someone kind could take Elsie under their name, that’d be ideal…”

She sighed in frustration.

“Yunice… Yunice?

Yunice snapped out of it and saw Victor looking at her.

“Sorry,” she said, apologetic. “I spaced out. Could you repeat the question?”

On the other end of the call, Carl let out a long, thoughtful “Hmm.” Then he asked, “Anyone in mind?”

Lily hesitated, then forced herself to say it. “Carl, you don’t have kids. You’ve never married. No wife to run it by. Couldn’t you let Elsie be registered under your name for a few years?”

“I promise,” she added, “just a few years. Once we get her on her feet, we’ll take her out of your household.”

Carl let out the faintest hint of a mocking smile. “Sorry, but I’ve already acknowledged a goddaughter.”

To his surprise, Lily lit up. “Even better! Once Elsie is part of your family, they’ll be like sisters! I’m sure they’ll get along so well!”

Carl said, “I’ve also got a godson. A brother and sister are already more than enough. They might not want another sibling.”

Lily pressed on. “Then just add Elsie. Young people bond easily. It’ll be fine. Back when Elsie joined the Saunders family, she didn’t know her brothers at all. Now they’re like real family.”

Carl let out a dry laugh. “You know what they say, one monk fetches water, two carry it, three get nothing to drink. I only have so much to give. Two kids is just right. Add one more and I won’t be able to share it fairly.”

Lily’s voice shot up. “You’re really going to split your assets between two godchildren?”

Realizing she’d overreacted, she quickly added, “I didn’t mean it like that. I just think you’re still young, Carl. You might have your own kids someday. Isn’t it a bit rash to make that kind of decision? Raising someone else’s child… it’s not the same.”

She clutched her phone tightly. Her heart ached just thinking about it.

How could Carl give away his inheritance to two children who had no blood relation to him?

He’d rather give it to outsiders than give Elsie a chance?
