Chapter 23: His Ultimate Vow
"Ms. Kanellis, It’s not much. You know my mom, right? She loves this orphan house and the children so much. I’m doing this to make my mother in heaven feel happy. And don’t worry about me. I still have money to live. Besides, I don’t have to pay anything to continue my studies—" Allynna paused.
She really wanted to continue her words, "—Nor did I have to pay for the house and food. Later, I will live with my future husband in the capital. He is sitting next to me now." But, these words never left her lips.
Allynna’s cheeks felt warm at the thought. She quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of her thoughts about her future husband, Leon. For some unknown reason, she always felt that his presence sometimes made her feel comfortable and warm, but there was also a feeling that this man was too dominant towards her.
...
Seeing that Ms. Kanellis was no longer trying to refuse, Allynna smiled and continued, "Hopefully, this money can be used for the children’s needs... Ms. Kanellis, please accept my good intentions."
She felt better after donating almost all of her parents’ money.
After talking with Ms. Kanellis, she decided to say goodbye. But before she left the room, Leon whispered to her, "Miss Allynna, you wait for me in the car. There’s something I want to talk to, Ms. Kanellis."
Allynna felt surprised to hear his request but didn’t ask further; she just nodded and left the room. Walking down the corridor, she saw no children in the area. She decided to wait for Leon on the bench outside the building.
A few moments later, Allynna heard footsteps approaching her. She looked back and saw Leon walking towards her.
