Chapter 133: The Children’s Magnet
But the moment Damon gently patted her back, all the anxious thoughts in Charlotte’s heart began to fade. "You did nothing wrong," he assured her. "On the contrary, I think Miss Nara wants to tell the Elder just how well you did today."
In the end, Damon’s words turned out to be completely true.
Charlotte noticed that not a single harsh word left Nara’s lips while she spoke to the Elder. Instead, she kept repeating, "You won’t believe this, Elder," as though the words were some kind of spell.
Her excitement was almost childlike. At times, she even looked as though she was fighting the urge to bounce on her toes. Charlotte never imagined Nara could act like this since the first time they met here, Nara looked like a strict, calm, and composed young woman.
A little while later, Nara finally ended the call with the Elder and came back toward them, her face glowing with joy.
"Alpha, Luna, would you like to come here every week?" she asked brightly, only to quickly shake her head. "No, no, I know you’re busy. How about just coming whenever you can? Once a month would still be wonderful."
Charlotte blinked in surprise, glancing at Damon before turning her eyes back to Nara. "Why?"
Nara arched her brow. "Why? Isn’t it obvious? Look at them." She pointed eagerly toward the children, who had begun to step out of their hiding places. "Oh, Luna, you’re the very first person who’s ever made them feel this safe!"
Charlotte leaned closer to the glass, watching as a few of the children carefully pulled storybooks from the shelves. One of them even opened the same fairy-tale book she had read earlier.
"They like you," Nara said with a smile. "I just spoke with the Elder about this, and he told me it’s also a wonderful chance for you to find a child you might want to adopt."
