ログインJoshua’s POV
I just helped put the rest of the food boxes in the truck when Mrs. Sienna called to me from behind.“Joshua.”I turned around.“Yes, ma’am?”“Come with me for a moment.”I let out a bit of breath. I was really very tired, but when I saw the look on Mrs. Sienna's face I nodded at last.“Okay.”I went after her into the base. We strolled down a hall packed with kids’ art, with soSienna's POV I grinned a bit. "Cause I've got lots of help from you, ma'am."Mrs. Sienna laughed quietly. "Then pay me back by being a nice person."I lifted my head. ͏"Is it really that simple?""That simple."I did not reply right away. Her talk seemed easy, yet it made my heart feel more tight, because if being a nice person was that easy I did not know if I still deserved to call myself one.I had told a falsehood to her I had taken cash from her and from the start, I had come to her due to a scheme made by Wilona"Joshua.""Yes?""If you ever get an issue one day, don’t make choices on your own."I looked at her. "Why do you say that?""Because at times, when folks are in need, they pick a bad way."I stopped. For an odd reason, those words seemed like they were said right to me.Mrs. Sienna contin
Joshua’s POV I just helped put the rest of the food boxes in the truck when Mrs. Sienna called to me from behind.“Joshua.”I turned around.“Yes, ma’am?”“Come with me for a moment.”I let out a bit of breath. I was really very tired, but when I saw the look on Mrs. Sienna's face I nodded at last.“Okay.”I went after her into the base. We strolled down a hall packed with kids’ art, with some pictures shown on the walls next to easy words like “Thanks Mommy Sienna”.For a reason, seeing them made my feet slow down. Mrs. Sienna then opened a tiny room.“Come in.”I went in after her. The room was plain, with a work table, some shelves of books and neat photos of kids at the f͏oundation.I stood by the door while Mrs. Sienna opened a desk draw. She then took out an envelope and gave it to me.“Here.”
Sienna's POV I turned toward him. "Why?"“There are many places that can provide food and shelter. But here, the children truly seem to feel cared for.”I smiled faintly. “That’s what I want.”I looked at the children.“They don’t only need a place to sleep. They also need someone who makes them feel valued.”The doctor smiled. “I think they’re lucky to have you.”I shook my head. “I’m the lucky one to have them.”Not long afterward, one of the children ran toward me. “Mommy!”I immediately crouched down.“What is it?”“Is everything finished?”I nodded. “Almost.”“When it’s finished, can we eat?”I laughed. “Of course.”“I’m hungry.”“Then wait a little longer.”I gently stroked his hair. “We’ll eat together later.”He nodded before running away. I stood up again and looked at the clock on the wall.Time passed so quickly. I looked around the room, which was beginning to grow quieter.The doc
Sienna's POV Since early morning, several doctors and nurses from the hospital had already arrived, bringing medical equipment for the examinations. This was the scheduled routine health check for the children at the foundation, so I stood near the registration table, making sure every child's name had been recorded.“Children, the doctors are going to examine you today, okay?”Several of the children immediately looked curious. One of them tilted his head before asking a question.“What are the doctors going to check, Miss?”I smiled at them. “Different things, such as your height, weight, eyes, ears, and overall health.”“Are we getting injections too?”The question immediately made several children glance at one another. I let out a soft laugh before answering them.“Some of you might need an injection.”Several faces instantly became tense. I raised both hands to reassure them.“But don’t be afraid. The doctors are kind.”The examinat
Liam's POV “Because I want to learn.”I smiled faintly.“To learn how to be a better husband.”Sienna fell silent. A few seconds later, she took my hand, which was resting near the gear shift, and I looked down at our hands.“You don’t have to be perfect.”I turned to her.“All I need is Liam.” I could not say anything. I simply tightened my grip around her hand.If only she knew how much guilt I had been hiding all this time. If only she knew what had happened that night.I immediately pushed the thought away. I did not want to ruin this morning.I wanted to keep a smile on her face. At least for today.“Okay.”Sienna looked at me.“Okay, what?”“I’ll keep being Liam.”She let out a soft laugh.“Good.”I smiled at her. By the time we arrived at Noah Light Foundation, the children immediately greeted Sienna with excitement.I smiled as I watched her. Whenever she was surrounded by children, Sienna’s expre
Liam's POV That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. I had even deliberately set my alarm before the sun had fully risen. After making sure Sienna was still asleep, I went downstairs to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast.I did not know when the last time was that I had done something like this. Maybe it had been far too long.I arranged eggs, toast, fruit, and a warm cup of tea on the table. It was simple, but I hoped it would be enough to make her morning a little more pleasant.A few moments later, I heard the sound of footsteps. I turned around and saw Sienna standing in the doorway with her hair still slightly messy.Her eyes immediately widened when she saw the dining table. “You made all of this?”I smiled at her. “Good morning.”She walked closer. “Why are you already awake?”“I just felt like waking up early.”Sienna looked at the food on the table. “You didn’t have to go through all this trouble.”I pulled out her chair
Liam's POV I remained rigid. Not a single part of me desired to embrace or console her like I once did. Instead I experienced a sense of disconnection as though she belonged to a past existence I had moved on from. Emily clutched the cuff of my shirt with her hand a
Sienna's POV The lounge had a serene atmosphere. The rain outside had eased, pattering softly against the window. The scent of damp soil blended with the cozy ambiance of the room, generating a feeling that oddly compelled me to weep not out of sorrow.Simply as it seemed so wh
Sienna's POV We had just completed packing all the food into the picnic bag when the wind unexpectedly gusted colder than it had been. I glanced up at the heavens ominous clouds loomed directly over the park, racing by as if drawing a curtain."Seems like it’s going to rain," I
Sienna's POV A nervous chuckle washed over me. "No, Noah. Mommy told him a little." “About our Lego house?" “Yes, that too. Has it been reported by Mommy that Daddy produces loud snoring sounds at night? I'm curious to know.”Liam's gaze lit up with excitement. "What did
