Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 386 Little Moon.

Shortly after. Nathael donned the white shirt and then layered on the bomber jacket from Maggie.

Glancing at him, Maggie felt a bit distracted.

The jacket seemed a tad oversized on him, but perhaps his height allowed him to carry it well. It didn't give off the impression of a child wearing adult clothing, and instead looked like he was wearing borrowed attire "You look great, Maggie remarked involuntarily. She wished his hair wouldn't cover his face, which she found incredibly handsome.

But Maggie didn't push the matter. She understood that being overly good-looking in the orphanage might not be ideal.

While the teachers and director favored neat and attractive children, constant attention due to looks could lead to trouble. Over time, even the fondness from authority figures might dwindle due to their reluctance to handle issues arising from the children's good looks.

So Maggie thought it wise to tone it down a bit, although his excessively fair complexion still stood out. "What's your name?" Maggie inquired once more..

This time. Nathael stayed silent, seemingly reluctant to disclose his nto this newfound acquaintance. The Harrises were in turmoil, and they hadn't found the person who wanted him dead, so he couldn't reveal his identity.

With no response, Maggie didn't press further. She grinned and suggested, "I'll call you Little Mute." Nathael remained silent. Maggie turned to the window and murmured, "I don't know my own name, but everyone callsLittle Moon, and I quite like it." Maggie didn't mention that the teacher initially named her Casey Adam, saying that the person who brought her here had left an item with Adam' written on it, so they assumed it was her last name.

But Maggie disliked the name. She vehemently protested, shedding tears and throwing tantrums, yet the teacher persisted in using it..

Nevertheless, Maggie found it unpleasant and refused to respond whenever someone called out 'Casey Adam, even if it meant punishment or withheld meals. She remained stubborn.

Finally, due to exhaustion, hunger, and fever, the teacher relented and asked her preferred name.

Maggie didn't know what to choose. After gazing at the moon for a while, she settled on 'Moon.

The teacher chuckled. "Nobody is named Moon. Anyway, the couple who visited you today liked you a lot. I mentioned this, and they named you Maggie. Do you like it?" Maggie recalled Ronald and Olivia, who seemed nice and treated her kindly. However, they checked out other children too, and they seemed to treat the others kindly as well.

She heard her teacher say that they planned to adopt a girl, but they might prefer someone younger.

But she understood that the ngiven by the Camerons might be the best option for her at the moment.

Maggie closed the worn-out dictionary. Despite considering various names, she stubbornly refused to be the one who cup with it.

Glancing at her, Nathael quietly echoed her nin his mind.

Maggie didn't care much. The orphanage was filled with people with all sorts of names, and no one paid much attention to them.

"The floor is chilly, but there are plenty of books in the storage room. You can stack them against the wall and sleep on them. It'll be much warmer." Maggie rose to her feet and started selecting books from the shelves and cabinets.

Numerous old books were bundled up in the storage room, and Maggie struggled to carry two bundles at once Witnessing her struggle, Nathael extended his hand to help, hoisting himself up to lend assistance.

After about ten minutes of exertion, they managed to rearrange dozens of book Creating a makeshift bed.

"It seems a bit shaky; it might tip over," Maggie remarked with a furrowed brow.

Noticing this, Nathacl fetched a short caband positioned it nearby. The makeshift bed was then firmly wedged between the caband the wall, offering both protection from the wind and avoiding direct contact with the floor.

"You're a genious!" Maggie couldn't help but express her admiration. Her eyes, clear and bright, showed her appreciation as she looked at him.

Nathael paused, not quite comprehending what was so smart about moving a cabinet, but nevertheless, he felt pleased by the compliment.

Maggie spread a thinner blanket over the books and planned to leave a thicker one for Nathael to cover himself.

"I didn't manage to find any pillows, so you'll have to make do,' Maggie σ lamented slightly. She felt it was a shto have have someone as good-looking as Little Mute settle for less. But she had no other option.

Even though Maggie was young, she couldn't shake the feeling that m someone like Little Mute should be NO living in a grand palace, enjoying a life of luxury instead of being in this dull storage room and cold comer But who could understand the ways of the world? Maggie gave him a piece of chocolate and half a box of cookies, then went to knock on the window and ask. her friend for shot water.

Perhaps one of the best things about the orphanage was the endless supply of hot water.

Unlike the other children who always drank hot water directly, Maggie always insisted on letting the not e water oboran no matter how cold it was. In saspects, she stood out from the rest with her meticulousness and refinement. You can use the water in the basin to freshen up for a bit, and you can drink from the cup. I have to head back." Maggie stayed with him a while longer. The two sat on the makeshift bed, leaning against the cold wall while peering out through the top of the low cabinet.

Outside the window, darkness enveloped everything, with only the moon hanging high in the night sky, gleaming like a gemstone.

Nathael remained silent. As Maggie prepared to leave, he finally called out to her. "If anyone bothers you, cand tell me." Maggie was taken aback for a moment, then she turned around to face him with a broad smile. "Got it, Little Mute. Get well soon.
