For a whole month, Adrian kept coming to that orphanage until he finally realized that he was no longer visiting for only one purpose.
He eventually confirmed that Maruschca was not cheating on Grisham or doing anything bad behind his back. She was genuinely caring and thoughtful of the orphans there, which was why she would frequently pay them a visit. Perhaps, the same was starting to happen to him as well - he was slowly growing fond of that place without him realizing it.
Meeting Cassidy was like exploring a new world that Adrian could never find within the walls of his luxurious home. As days passed by, he formed relationships with Asher and the others, hanged out with them in the most casual and fun ways possible, got to know more about these people and the world around him, and live like a normal teenager for once. He never knew he wanted something like this until he just came to realize that he did.
