CHAPTER 195
~Valerie's POV~
Dad grinned, his teasing tone returning. "Your temper's too hot. I'm afraid Valerie will take after you."
Aunt Tempest gasped in mock offence before her expression softened. "That's why Aira will be a godmother too. Hot and cold. No offence, sweet sis."
"None taken, Tempest," said another voice, cool and serene. Aunt Aira came into view, kneeling beside Mum's chair. "Isn't that right, Vi baby?" she added, pinching my cheek softly.
"Sure," Mum said, smiling down at me.
"And that's why having three godmothers is no big deal. It simply means she's loved," a fourth voice or fifth—I lost count after Mum and dad, hehe—came out loudly as she walked closer.
"Welcome, Ella," Mum greeted sweetly as Aunt Ella moved closer with a baby bump in her stomach.
"You guys finally settled?" Ella laughed, brushing her fiery curls out of her face.
"Well, it was a cute fight," came a rich, deep male voice.
