The little figure just huddled on the large sofa, watching them leave.
Like this, they seemed rather pitiful, all alone.
As if about to be abandoned by them.
And yet they remained silent and still there, incredibly well-behaved.
Adrian Zhekova "tsked" and beckoned the little one: "What are you doing just standing there?"
This remark, on the contrary, startled the little one.
Unsure what to make of Adrian Zhekova.
Adrian's heart softened, but he said, "You usually seem quite clever, why are you acting so foolish now?"
"Can we do this without you?" Adrian Zhekova said and waved at the little one again, "Get over here!"
The little one, both astonished and delighted, had his large black eyes suddenly light up.
He hurriedly jumped off the sofa and ran over to Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
Seeing him so happy, Cindy's eyes misted up, and she blinked back the tears that had gathered in her eyes.
In that moment of change in the little one's gaze, Cindy understood everything.
