Chapter 43 - Chapter 42: dozing off

Later that day, Emily and Mia returned home. The moment Mia stepped inside, she couldn't contain her excitement. "Daddy!" she shouted, running towards Ethan for a warm hug.

Ethan's eyes lit up as he welcomed his daughter with open arms. "Hmm, my baby princess is back. Did you have fun?" he asked, smiling.

Mia, still beaming with joy, replied enthusiastically, "Yes, Daddy! Mommy and I had so much fun! You missed it, Daddy!"

Ethan's heart swelled with happiness seeing his daughter's radiant smile. Mia's happiness was a source of immense joy for him, and he cherished these moments.

Once they had settled down, Ethan turned his attention to Emily. "So, Emily, how are the preparations for the the opening of the orphanage going?" he inquired.

Emily, who had been eagerly anticipating this conversation, sat up straight. "Well, it's just going to be a small ceremony scheduled next tomorrow since I already have a hundred kids ready to join us, I don't want to keep them waiting" she began, her eyes filled with determination.

Ethan nodded, interested in hearing more about her plans. "Alright. What are your plans for the kids?" he asked, eager to learn how Emily intended to make a difference in their lives.

Emily leaned forward, her face reflecting her passion for this project. "I've decided to offer computer skills and vocational training alongside their regular school curriculum. This way, they can acquire the skills they need to become independent," she explained.

Ethan listened attentively, impressed by Emily's dedication and vision for the orphanage. As he glanced at her, he noticed that she had dozed off while still discussing with him. Her peaceful slumber brought a smile to his face, as he couldn't help but feel grateful for the care and love she had shown his daughter, he knew she must be very tired for her to dose off while still discussing about the orphanage
