Chapter 336: Unexpected Return
“It’s not just that...” I began talking but suddenly the car came to a stop.
“We’ve arrived,” the prince announced.
With such bad timing, we arrived at our destination and the conversation that I was having with the prince had to be put on hold. Prince Leonard got out of the car before extending a hand my way to help me out.
“This place...” I murmured as my eyes widened in shock.
All my worries and the conversation that we shared had absorbed all of my attention and I didn’t recognize where we were headed until we had arrived. My hands flew to cover my mouth as I tried to stifle my cries of shock. My face and then my entire body suddenly felt numb from shock as my mind struggled to come to terms with the fact that I was truly back where it had all started.
“I can’t believe this...” I muttered as I turned to look at the prince while demanding silently for an explanation.
It was true that we didn’t always get what we wanted when we wanted it. Despite all the times I prayed and wished that I could come back here, I knew well enough that it was nothing but a very distant dream. That was precisely why I couldn’t believe that I was now standing on the small path that led up to the orphanage where I grew up.
“Let’s walk from here,” he said as he held my elbow and urged for me to follow him.
“Ok...” I whispered breathlessly as I looked all around me to take in the familiar yet strange surroundings.
