Mystic Holy See

"have eaten."

Aldridge waved his hand and said, he actually hasn't eaten dinner yet, but he won't choose to eat here. The conditions here in Carula are not very good, so saving a little is a little bit.

"Cut." Carula naturally understood what he meant, pouted her lips in disdain, tapped the table with a spoon, and said loudly, "It's time to eat! All seated!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Aldridge, turned around and walked back to the kitchen, only then did the children's chaotic responses sounded.

A group of little guys let go of Aldrich immediately and dribbled back to their positions. Even though they were still very young, their movements were quick and orderly.

There was only one little girl who did not return to her position, but instead came over and pulled Aldridge's shirt without saying a word, trying her best to look up at him.

She was wearing a grey sackcloth dress, like the other little girls, petite and slender, not as tall as Aldridge's waist, and looked very young, but she was actually one of the only 3 of these children over the age of 12. one of the children.

She has long brown hair that is slightly curly like waves, the hair is dense and smooth, her face is delicate like a doll, her eyes are noble emeralds, very beautiful, but her skin looks very pale, as if malnourished, clutching The hand on the corner of Aldridge's shirt can also illustrate this point.

Aldrich bent over and picked her up, let her sit in his arms, and asked softly, "Did Eve have a good meal today?"

Eve carefully grabbed Aldridge's clothes and nodded forcefully looking at Aldridge's eyes.

"But compared to yesterday, I don't feel heavier." Aldrich lifted her body slightly, and then put his head against her small head and said.

Eve pursed her lips and buried her head in Aldridge's shoulder, as if hiding.

From beginning to end, the child never spoke.

That's right, she can't speak.

It's not that it can't, but it won't.

Karula once took Eve to see a doctor for a check-up. Her vocal cords should be fine, but she seems to have a problem with vocalization and never makes any sound on her own initiative.

Aldridge held her lovingly. The reason why he knew Carula and the Sea Voice Orphanage was entirely from Eve.

About a month ago, on his way home from the gymnasium, he saw an adult woman pointing at a little girl in a fierce tone. There was a woman next to him, and it seemed that the child was not. Carefully stepped on one of the women's shoes, and the woman's companion was persuading her to forget it.

Aldridge didn't care about this at first, but the child stood there without saying a word. The woman pushed the little girl's shoulder while shouting "Speak". As a result, the little girl was too weak. She was pushed and almost fell, but Aldrich happened to pass by and quickly caught her.

"It's almost done."

Aldridge frowned and said to the woman, this woman should be a tourist, and she doesn't look like a local.

"Almost? The shoes I just bought!" The woman was probably really angry, and pointed to her shoes and shouted, "I don't want to do anything. It's not too much to apologize for stepping on me, right?"

This is indeed a reasonable request. Aldridge looked down at the little girl. She seemed a little flustered and scared, but her closed mouth seemed stubborn.

"Ma'am, this child may be a little afraid of life. You don't think it's a big deal. Forgive this child once." Aldridge sighed helplessly and persuaded.

"Yeah, I'm still a child, and they didn't do it on purpose." At this time, the woman's companion also advised.

"Really... Forget it!" The woman shook her hands irritably and turned to leave.

"She's not in a good mood today." There were many people watching, her companion smiled stiffly, explained something, and left quickly.

Aldridge looked at the little girl again. She lowered her head. Aldrich couldn't see her expression, and when he looked around, he couldn't see the child's parents.

"What's your name?"

The child raised his head, his beautiful big eyes were a little red, but he just shook his head and didn't speak.

"Where are your parents?"

She still shook her head.

Aldridge probably guessed that the child might not be able to speak, and he didn't know what to do.

Fortunately, someone came over, it was the chocolate-skinned Carula, and Aldridge was almost misunderstood as a human trafficker. Fortunately, after talking about it, it was all right, and Carula forced Aldridge to be a guest.

The little girl was of course Eve. She and Karula got separated by accident at that time. After going back and forth, Aldrich met new friends.

I heard Karula say that Eve is a very special child, she is not very gregarious, but in fact she likes the companions of the orphanage very much, and they also like her very much.

Carula described Eve in one sentence - being sensible makes people feel distressed.

She never scrambles, and the toys donated by well-meaning people will only be given to her younger brothers and sisters, and she always eats very little. She never causes trouble for Karula, and she always helps with small tasks.

Who doesn't like such a child?

At least Aldridge likes her very much. Since I met her, I have often come to see her, and gradually I have become familiar with other children~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Now, as long as there is nothing to do, Aldridge will come and stroll. a circle.

Maybe Aldridge and Eve have a very wonderful fate. Carula said that Eve likes Aldridge very much, and she has never seen her clinging to others before.

As long as Aldrich came over and the children dispersed, Eve would come to him silently.

Aldridge is used to being lonely, and has absolutely no resistance to children like Eve.

At this time, Karula called a few children to help, set up the plate and spoon, and then began to distribute food, a piece of white bread, a vegetable, and a soup.

It's not rich, but it's nutritious.

This is also what Aldridge admires about Carula. She is careless and careless, but she is really good to children. Even if she is not rich, she should give children white bread instead of black bread, which is not good for the body. .

"Eve, let's go eat, there's no leftovers." Aldridge patted the child in his arms and instructed earnestly, and put her down after seeing her nod.

Eve looked at him, hesitated for a while, then slowly walked to her seat and sat down.

"I really don't know what's so good about you, Eve likes you so much." Carula said casually while taking off her apron.

"Maybe I'm handsome." Aldridge joked.

"Oh, great master of the sea, there is someone here who is talking panic in front of the children." Carula covered her forehead and shouted, and then raised her eyebrows at Aldridge narrowly.

Aldridge didn't want to get to know her in general.

When the children were eating, Carula brought Aldrich a glass of water, and the two sat down on the seats beside them.

After Carula sat down, she said, "Seriously, why don't you adopt Eve."
