Chapter 341 Ariel

I just brushed Idris off.

Alice hesitated for a moment before asking, “Is Mr. Young the chairman of Young Corporation?”

Idris only hummed in acknowledgment, not really giving a proper answer.

Alice caught the subtle nod and flashed a small, knowing smile, deciding not to pry any further.

“Hey, what’s the occasion? What brings Mr. Young to our humble neck of the woods?” Maxwell’s voice

dripped with sarcasm.

Idris barely glanced at him, his face a mask of indifference, making it clear he was not about to

engage.

Maxwell, getting the hint that Idris was not biting, turned to Alice instead and asked, Where’d you go?”

Alice showed him what she had in her hands and repeated the same thing she had told me.

Maxwell eyed Idris with a raised eyebrow, starting to say, “Mr. Young, with your family’s empire being

so vast…”

He cut himself off, realizing maybe it was not the best comment to make.

The kids were just waking up from their naps.

Eagerly, Maxwell grabbed Alice to help hand out the Christmas presents they had brought for the kids.

Watching them, I turned to Idris and offered, “Care to help out?”

He nodded, whipped out his phone for a quick call, and before we knew it, a van pulled up.

Director Williams and her mother had wrapped up their chat and came outside to greet the newcomers

with warmth and friendliness. Idris, true to form, kept his cool and responded with a nod.

Charles had driven the car in, and after he parked, he walked up to Director Williams with a friendly

nod. “Hey, Director Williams, I’m with Young Corporation. Mr. Young sent over some essentials for the

kids. Could you have someone help unload them in a bit?”

Director Williams was quick to thank him and got some of the orphanage’s teachers to help with the

unloading.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Idris watching as they took big boxes off the car. I could not tell

what was inside, so I asked him, “What’s all this stuff?”

“Just some necessities. Charles took care of the shopping,” Idris answered, his voice casual.

“It’s mostly warm clothes and school supplies, along with a bit of sports gear,” Zoe added, her eyes

drifting towards Maxwell and Alice, who were getting ready to hand out presents to the kids nearby.

That was just like Idris, always thinking practically, and with Charles in charge, it made sense.

Chapter 341 Anel

I refrained from prying any further. Maxwell knew Director Williams well, so he had gone all out, getting

presents for every single kid in the place, probably the stuff they had been dreaming of.

Maxwell and Alice were now the center of attention, with a swarm of kids, both big and small, buzzing

around them, all excited and chatty.

I spotted a skinny little girl of maybe four or five years old off to the side, clutching a grubby stuffed

bunny. She could not make her way through the crowd, so she just stood there, hugging her bunny and

watching with hopeful eyes.

I noticed her from a distance and made my way over. The little girl caught sight of me coming closer

and shyly backed away a bit. I stopped, not too close, and flashed her a warm smile. ” Hey there,” I

greeted, offering a friendly wave.

She blinked at me a couple of times, not saying a word. At least she did not retreat any further. She just

stood there, eyeing me cautiously as if trying to figure me out.

I kept the smile on my face and glanced at the well–loved rabbit she clutched. “That’s a really cute

bunny you’ve got there,” I told her.

She hugged the bunny a little tighter at my words but stayed quiet.

When she did not respond, I chuckled softly and fished out some candy from my pocket. “Do

like sweets?” I asked, holding them out to her.

She bit her lip, her eyes lighting up for a moment. Then she gave a slight shake of her head and

whispered, “No eat.”

Her voice was sweet, with a unique lilt that made her words sound extra gentle. Encouraged by her

speaking up, I grinned and said, “I’m Yvette. What’s your name? Can you share it with me?

After a brief hesitation, she finally shared, “Ariel Lopez.”

Her name made me raise an eyebrow in surprise, but I kept the smile on. “Well, Ariel, now that we

know each other’s names, we’re friends, right?”

She gave a hesitant nod, her beautiful eyes still guarded.

Suddenly, a blue Spiderman backpack appeared next to me. I turned to see Idris holding it out. I

blinked in surprise and looked at him. He just gave a nonchalant shrug and said, “She might need it.”

Idris was never one for many words.

I took the backpack, eyeing the superhero design. Although I could not help but wonder about Idris’s

choice, I pondered whether he really thought Ariel would be into Spiderman.

What was going through his head?

“Hi,” Ariel’s soft voice interrupted my thoughts, a little less timid now.

I glanced at her and gave a soft smile, a thrill of surprise fluttering in my chest. She was actually

starting a conversation with me. She pointed at the backpack in my hands, her eyes wide with hope.

“Can we trade? I’ll give you my bunny.”
