Chapter 81

The little girl watched the man speak, trying hard to understand his words.

Finally, she got it.

Fearfully, she stood up from the chair, quickly hid under the bed, and crouched in the corner.

“Whoa, what just happened?”

“Eileen! Eileen, sweetie, come out!”

Despite the comforting words from outside, the little girl remained under the bed, refusing to come out.

Eventually, they moved the bed.

With nowhere to hide, the little girl cried for the first time in front of everyone. Her body shook, tears streamed down her face, soaking it entirely.

“Eileen, don’t cry, Eileen don’t cry.” The man hurriedly picked her up, wiping her tears. Seeing her trembling, he was more nervous than she was.

The little girl clung tightly to the man’s sleeve, her fingers turned pale. After a long silence, she let out a hoarse child’s voice, “…no.”

“No to what?”

“…no to going…”

The man fell silent.

Then someone behind him said, “She might be waiting for her mom. The police have found her biological mother, who might be coming to pick her up soon.”

“She won’t come.” The man’s voice suddenly turned cold.

He seemed angry, but quickly regained his composure and spoke tenderly to the little girl in his arms, “I will take care of you like a dad. Or maybe, Eileen, would you like to see a picture of your new brother? I will show you, he’s a cool guy.”

The man took out his wallet from his pocket, in which he kept a family photo of three.

In the photo, a stern man stood on the left, a beautiful woman on the right, and a handsome little boy in the middle.

The man pointed to the people in the photo and introduced them to the little girl, “This is your uncle, your aunt, your brother.”

The little girl looked at the unfamiliar boy in the picture, her small lips tightly bitten, and tears streamed down her face.

She remembered that her dad also had a picture like this, with her dad, her grandpa, her grandma, and herself in the middle.

“Oh, Eileen, sweetheart, my sweet girl.” The man seemed flustered, rushing to comfort her.

The little girl lowered her head, tears streaming down, and she stopped talking.

At this moment, someone picked up a phone call and came over to say, “Sir, Sarah has agreed to take the child back.”

“Why did she suddenly agree?”
