Chapter 461: Natalie’s Brother
Caryn and James had been in Bayford for a few days since Caryn learned about Serena and Patrik Hunt. She wanted to visit the orphanage—the place where she grew up.
At the same time, James took it as a chance to bring Caryn to his family home in Bayford, where the Harpers truly belonged.
After they got married, he brought her to meet his relatives and officially introduced her as his wife. Caryn had known these people in the past when she was with James. It made her feel a little awkward given the situation, but James assured her not to overthink. All the relatives welcomed her warmly, which helped her feel at ease.
Everyone had accepted all the changed dynamics—how Justin was not James’ real son and the existence of their daughter, Natalie, who was now married to Justin.
James and Caryn arrived at the orphanage where Caryn had grown up. Both of them were led to the office of the in-charge, where an elderly man was sitting behind the desk.
Just as they entered the office, the elderly man fixed his spectacles and smiled at the woman. "Caryn, is that really you?"
He was the man who had been taking care of the orphanage after Patrik Hunt disappeared.
"Yes, Mr. Lark," Caryn replied as she walked slowly while holding James’ arm for support. She had decided to leave the wheelchair behind and walk.
The man smiled at her. "Good to see you after so long." He was visibly happy to see her. He then looked at James. "Mr. Harper, good to see you here finally. Please, have a seat."
The couple settled into the chairs. They talked about the orphanage and then about Patrik Hunt.
"...Even till date, he hasn’t contacted me," Mr. Lark said. "I wonder if he is still alive. He must be just an old man like me now, waiting for his last days. I wish I could see him at least once and know that he has been living well."
