Chapter 1585 – Grace’s Decision II
Xavier stared at his wife in silence for what felt like an eternity, momentarily unable to process the conviction blazing in her eyes.Her words had caught him completely off guard, and before he could gather his thoughts or ask what she meant...“Now, I know.”A radiant smile slowly spread across her face, stretching from ear to ear.It wasn't the smile of someone who had just made an expensive decision, but instead, that of someone who had finally discovered the answer to a question that had lingered deep within her heart for a long time.“I will build a foundation... no...” She paused briefly, then shook her head as though rejecting even her own choice of words. “A sanctuary.”Her eyes sparkled with a brilliance Xavier hadn't seen before. “A sanctuary for children like them.”As she spoke, the heaviness that had weighed upon her only moments ago gradually transformed into determination.“I'll build them the home they never had,” she continued, her voice becoming steadier with every
Chapter 1584 – Grace’s Decision I
*****For reasons the children themselves couldn't explain, Xavier's voice made them feel... safe.It wasn't loud, overbearing, or filled with empty promises.There was no commanding authority behind it, nor the kind of false kindness adults often wore before disappearing from their lives forever.Instead, it carried a warmth that quietly settled over their frightened hearts like a comforting blanket on a freezing night.It reminded them of a father... not the one they had, but the one many of them had secretly imagined whenever they watched happy families walking through the streets.Without realizing it, several children nodded instinctively, while the others answered almost at the same time, their young voices soft yet unusually determined."We will.""We'll listen.""We'll wait."Even the eldest girl lowered her head respectfully.Unlike the younger ones, she had learned not to trust words so easily, yet something about Xavier's calm gaze made it difficult to remain guarded."We'l
Chapter 1583 – The Kids’ Requests
*****Meanwhile, seeing the children looking at her with such innocent hope, Grace felt another sharp ache pierce straight through her heart.It was so painful that she instinctively lowered her gaze for a brief second.Before she even realized it, her eyes had reddened further, the tears she had fought so desperately to suppress threatening to spill over once again.She simply nodded her head, not daring to open her mouth.She knew herself well enough to understand that if she tried speaking at this moment, her voice would crack, and the fragile composure she had painstakingly rebuilt would collapse completely.The children, utterly oblivious to the emotional storm raging inside her, instantly erupted into another wave of excitement the moment they saw her nod.Their faces blossomed with dazzling smiles, and hope returned to their eyes with frightening speed."Big... big sister, will there be tents too?" one child asked excitedly."Beautiful sister... will... will you bring mosquito
Chapter 1582 – Grace’s Promise
*****It wasn't only Little Lola who found it painfully difficult to leave when the time finally came.Grace, who had met these children only that night, felt the same reluctance settling deep inside her heart.It was strange; after all, just a short while ago, they had been complete strangers, yet now every face, every timid smile, and every pair of hopeful eyes had carved themselves into her heart in a way she couldn't explain.She remained rooted to the spot, unable to move as countless emotions churned inside her.There was anger, helplessness, heartbreak, and determination, and they all collided within her until her chest felt unbearably tight.Only when Xavier, sensing exactly what was happening without needing a single word, lightly touched the back of her hand did she finally jolt back to reality.Blinking, Grace realized every child was staring at her, their eyes filled with concern, curiosity, and innocent confusion.One little girl, whose gentle expression looked far too pu
Chapter 1581 – The Kids’ Appreciation
*****Without Grace realizing it, one word after another spilled from her lips, and with every sentence, the emotions she had been desperately suppressing surged closer to the surface.Anger, sorrow, helplessness, and disbelief tangled together within her until even breathing seemed difficult.Meanwhile, Xavier remained silent.He didn't interrupt her, offer any meaningless comfort, or give empty platitudes.Instead, he just stood beside her, watching her with gentle eyes and quietly listening as she poured out every ounce of frustration, grief, confusion, and indignation bottled inside her heart.Grace continued speaking, one question after another leaving her lips, each one heavier than the last.Every time she glanced toward the children laughing happily over the small mountain of stuffed toys, her heart twisted even tighter.Their joy only made their circumstances more heartbreaking.Then suddenly... the children turned toward them.Grace froze right on the spot.Realizing everyon
Chapter 1580 – Grace’s Emotional Outburst
*****After the eldest kid realized the other kids had accepted her correction, she gave a small nod, then lowered her gaze toward the bulging bag of Labubus before looking back at Little Lola.“Little Lola,” she called gently, her tone softening considerably. “Are you... truly certain you brought all of these for us?”Little Lola blinked innocently.“Of course, Big Sister,” she answered without the slightest hesitation, as though the question itself was strange.The older girl, however, remained unconvinced.Her brows knitted together with concern instead of excitement.“But... if you give us this many Labubus...” she asked carefully, “what will you have left to play with yourself?”Little Lola looked puzzled for a brief moment.She tilted her tiny head, her face scrunching adorably as she thought about the question.Then, almost as if someone had finally explained a simple riddle to her, realization dawned across her face.“Oh!”“Little Lola already kept three Labubus at home,” she
