Chapter 141

Olivia tried her best to put on a smile. “That’s fine.”

Connor looked like a different person now. He had changed out of branded clothes and into the clothes that belonged to Martha’s children.

Olivia wondered how many children had worn the same clothes. There were even patches sewn on older patches.

The clothes were thicker, firmer, and also warmer.

Connor didn’t seem to mind, though. He followed behind Olivia like a little puppy.

Sometimes, he would curiously try to chase after cats or pull at the grass by the roadside. Everything here was new to him.
