Chapter 1598 – The Excited Kids II
*****The children burst into cheerful giggles; several of the older girls covered their mouths as they laughed, and even a few of the teenage boys couldn’t help but smile.The atmosphere instantly became much warmer.Beside little Lola, Grace laughed softly, and even the elderly woman chuckled until the wrinkles around her eyes deepened.Meanwhile, Little Lola wished the ground would kindly open and adopt her.Seeing dozens of children laughing at her adorable correction, she let out an embarrassed squeak before darting behind Xavier.Only half of her tiny face peeked out from behind his back.Xavier smiled helplessly at this, then reached behind himself and gently rubbed her little head.“There, there.” His voice carried quiet amusement. “Will you answer the young lady's question?”Little Lola hesitated for a moment before slowly peeking out, only to hide again almost immediately.Then she hid once more.It looked as though two tiny armies inside her head were fighting a dramatic ci
Chapter 1597 – The Excited Kids
*****For the first time since coming outside, the children looked at the little girl standing beside Xavier and Grace.She was dressed beautifully.Her clean clothes contrasted sharply against their faded pajamas; her shoes looked brand new, and even her hair had been carefully tied.Seeing this, several children instinctively lowered their eyes; some couldn't stop a flicker of envy from surfacing, and others became noticeably cautious.Meanwhile, several of the younger ones simply stared at her with pure curiosity.Feeling dozens of eyes resting upon her, Little Lola instinctively shrank back a little.Her tiny fingers nervously gripped the edge of her dress.She looked toward Xavier, who instantly smiled reassuringly, while Grace also nodded encouragingly.Seeing this, Little Lola regained her courage.She took a tiny step forward. “The stuffed toys...” she began softly, slowly sweeping her gaze across every child.When her eyes reached the older boys standing quietly in the back,
Chapter 1596 – Contrasting Reactions
*****For exactly one second, not a single child reacted. Then...“This...”More than fifty pairs of eyes flew open simultaneously. Instantly, every trace of sleep vanished so completely that it was almost frightening.Children who had looked moments away from collapsing suddenly stood straighter than soldiers answering roll call.Even the tiny boy who had been snoring while standing abruptly woke up and blinked around in confusion.It was nothing short of miraculous.Witnessing this, Xavier's eyebrows rose, Grace blinked several times, and Little Lola covered her mouth to stop herself from giggling.The transformation was so sudden it almost looked supernatural.Every child stared blankly at the elderly woman, their sleepy minds desperately trying to determine whether they had heard correctly.The elderly woman folded her arms with a playful smile, clearly enjoying every second of this dramatic reversal.The suspense stretched on for a second.Then, unable to take it anymore, one of
Chapter 1595 – The Orphanage Children
*****Before long, the front door creaked open, and in the very next moment, it was as though a dam had burst.Children streamed out one after another, filling the quiet courtyard with soft footsteps and sleepy murmurs.Some infants couldn't have been a year old, toddlers rubbing their tiny fists against heavy eyelids, children of elementary-school age stumbling forward half asleep, and teenagers quietly shepherding the younger ones so they wouldn't trip over one another.There had to be more than fifty of them.Most of the children were still rubbing their eyes, their little faces puffy with sleep.Several of them walked so sluggishly that they looked as though they might curl up on the ground and keep sleeping without the slightest complaint.One little boy had apparently decided opening his eyes was an unnecessary luxury.He continued walking with them firmly shut, placing complete faith in the older girl holding his hand.Another child yawned so dramatically that it looked as thou
Chapter 1593 – The Granny’s Argument
*****“Ma'am,” Xavier said respectfully, “would you be willing to accept this small gift from Little Lola on our behalf and help us surprise the children tomorrow morning?”This time, however, the elderly woman didn't answer immediately.Instead, she quietly studied the three of them.Her gaze settled briefly on Little Lola before moving toward the colorful bags filled with stuffed toys.She remained silent long enough that Xavier unconsciously began wondering if something was wrong.‘Does she... not want to accept them?’ The thought crossed his mind almost immediately.‘Perhaps there was some rule against accepting donations, or perhaps...’Before his thoughts could wander any further, a smile of gratitude that reached all the way to her eyes appeared on the elderly woman’s face.“Thank you, little girl.” Her affectionate gaze rested on Little Lola. “Thank you for thinking about our children.”She then turned toward Xavier and Grace.“And thank you both as well.” Her voice carried un
Chapter 1593 – Grace’s Embarrassment
*****At this moment, the famous ice queen of the business world was nowhere to be seen.Standing there was simply Grace… a compassionate woman whose heart had been thoroughly shaken tonight.“You only did what anyone responsible would have done,” she said sincerely. “If anything, we unknowingly created a situation that looked suspicious. Given everything you've experienced... your reaction was understandable.”Her words carried no trace of blame.Only understanding and respect.Beside them, Little Lola suddenly spoke in her soft, adorable voice.“Uncle, big sister, and Ma'am aren't wrong.” The little girl lowered her tiny head guiltily, nervously twisting her fingers together. “It was Little Lola's idea.”She looked genuinely remorseful.“Uncle and big sister told Little Lola everyone must already be sleeping.” She sniffled softly before continuing. “Little Lola was the one who wanted to leave the presents by the door so the brothers and sisters would wake up and be surprised tomorro
