Grapie opened her eyes widely and tried her best to hold her tears back.
Buzz!
Adeena’s phone vibrated.
After she answered the call, she regretfully came over and looked for the little girl. “I suddenly need to
handle an emergency, so I’m going back now. Grapie, can you give me a goodbye kiss?”
Grapie instantly held her neck. “Miss, I don’t want you to go.”
Her favorite necklace was stolen by Cherry, but she held herself back without crying. But when she
thought about Ms. Deena wanting to leave, her tears just streamed down her cheeks.
“You’re a good girl. Don’t cry. I’ll still come and visit you again.”
“But… but Cherry said I might be adopted today, and I can’t see you again.”
“I’ll come and ask Mama Sherry where your new home is. I can still go and visit you.” Adeena smiled
and said, You’re so obedient and cute. If you keep crying, you’ll become ugly.”
The little girl sniffed and held back her tears.
Adeena touched her head, and she left while she kept looking back.
Right after she left, a married couple who rode on a motorcycle stopped in front of the orphanage.
This couple was about thirty years old. The man looked sincere and honest, while the woman looked
virtuous and graceful. When they walked inside, they were welcomed by the director warmly.
If a child from the orphanage was successfully adopted, this would be a perfect ending for everyone.
The director tried her best to make this work, and the couple indeed wanted to adopt a kid. The
remaining boys in the orphanage were either diagnosed with congenital heart disease or mute and
dumb. After the couple looked around, they finally cast their sights on Grapie.
“Sir, Ma’am, please adopt me.” Cherry bumped Grapie in the shoulder and squeezed her out of the
way. She was the first one to stand out. “I’m Cherry, and I’m going to be four soon. I’m a good girl, and
I’m very obedient. I can sweep the floor, wash clothes, and work. Please take me home with you.”
She opened her eyes and forced herself to drop a few tears.
The sincere and honest man was Candon Harris. He always listened to his wife. He turned around and
asked, Adeline, what do you think about this girl?”
Adeline Porter shook her head gently. “She’s too quick witted and cunning. We won’t be able to control
her.”
She glanced around the bunch of kids.
All the girls were smiling and looking at her with expectations.
Except…
The girl was about three years old. She wore a goose yellow shirt, and her skin looked fair and tender.
The girl lowered her head and tried to reduce her existence.
From this angle, she could see the little girl’s long, thick, curly eyelashes like little hand fans.
“I like this girl.”
Adeline pointed at Grapie. When she saw her husband nodding, she waved her hand. “Girl, come over
here.”
Grapie raised her head and felt hesitant.
“Grapie, hurry over! This lady likes you!” The director urged.
Most of the married couples who had come to adopt kids over the past few years wanted a boy, and it
had been three years since a girl was successfully adopted from the orphanage.
If Grapie was successfully adopted, it could attract many
couples who did not have a kid to come.
As the director of the orphanage, Sherry’s biggest dream was to give every kid a happy and complete
home.
Grapie dared not look at Cherry, and she slowly walked over.
“Your name’s Grapie, right? You’re really pretty. Can you take me on a walk around the orphanage?”
Adeline squatted down and gently asked. The director mentioned that if she wanted to adopt a child,
she could ask the child to take her around the orphanage and cultivate their relationship that way.
