But I ignored him.

Marjorie paused for a few seconds, uncertainly asking, "Was Mr. Hinton the chairman of the Hinton Group?"

Walter didn't respond, he just gave a faint grunt of acknowledgement.

Seeing Walter nod, Marjorie gave a slight smile and didn't ask any further.

"Oh, what a day, what brought Mr. Hinton to this small place?" A sour voice sounded, it was Alexander.

Seeing him, Walter showed no expression, just glanced indifferently, completely ignoring his intentions.

Seeing that Walter had no intention of dealing with him, Alexander didn't continue to cause trouble either. He looked at Marjorie and asked, "Where have you been?"

After showing him what she had in her hand, Marjorie repeated to him. what she had told me.

Alexander looked at Walter, raising an eyebrow, "Mr. Hinton, your family business is quite large..."

Perhaps feeling that his words were inappropriate, he stopped speaking halfway through. Coincidentally, at this moment, the children had finished their nap and all got up. Alexander pulled Marjorie to bring the Christmas gifts to the children that they had strived for.

Upon seeing this, I looked at Walter and asked,

He nodded, pulled out his phone and made a call. After a short while, an Alfa van drove in.

The old dean and mother had finished their chat and had come out.

Seeing that some more people had arrived, she still greeted them kindly as usual, and Walter still responded with his usual indifferent expression.

The car was driven by Odin. After parking the car, he got out and approached the old dean, saying, "I'm from the Hinton Group. These are some living supplies that Mr. Hinton brought for the children. Could you arrange for someone to help unload them later?"

The old dean quickly expressed his gratitude and arranged for the other teachers in the welfare home to help with the unloading.

I glanced sideways at Walter as he unloaded large boxes from the car, unsure of what they were. Curious, I asked, "What did you buy?"

Walter's expression was indifferent, "Household items, Odin purchased them."

"Mostly winter clothes and school supplies, and some sports

equipment," Olivia spoke, her gaze still on Alexander and Marjorie in the distance, preparing to give gifts to the children.

True, that was just the way Walter was. If he was to give someone a gift, it would certainly be something practical, especially since Odin was the one handling it.

I didn't ask further. Alexander was familiar with the old dean, so he basically prepared gifts for every child in the courtyard, many of which were probably what the children had always wanted.

So he and Marjorie were surrounded by a group of children, big and

small, chattering away nappity

Caught a glimpse of a thin girl not far away, who looked to be about four or five years old. She was holding a dirty rabbit in her arms, probably because she couldn't squeeze past the other children, so she stood a bit far away, watching with eager eyes.

Seeing this, I walked over. The little girl saw me approaching her and timidly stepped back a few steps. I looked at her with a faint smile, didn't get too close, and extended my hand, saying, "Hello." The little girl didn't speak as she blinked at me a few times, but she didn't back away either. She just stood there, seemingly sizing me up.

I smiled faintly, looking at the dirty rabbit in her arms and said, "Your rabbit is very cute."

Upon hearing my words, she tightened her grip on the rabbit she was holding, yet remained silent.

Seeing her not speaking, I smiled and pulled out a handful of candies from my pocket, asking, "Do you eat candy?"

She pursed her lips, a hint of anticipation in her dark eyes, but she still shook her head slightly. This time, she uttered two words, "Not eating."

The little girl's voice had an accent, sounding very soft and sweet. Seeing her speak, I couldn't help but laugh, saying, "My name is Tabatha Conner, what's your name, can you tell me?"

She still pursed her lips, but fortunately, she did say her own name, "Jodie."

Hearing this name, I subconsciously furrowed my brows, but still smiled and said, "Now that we know each other's names, can we consider ourselves friends?"

The little girl nodded, a bit awkward, but in her beautiful eyes, there was still a face full of caution.

A blue Ultraman backpack had appeared beside me. I glanced sideways and saw that it was Walter who had brought it over. I was taken aback. Seeing me looking at him, Walter glanced at the little girl and said lightly. "She might need it.".

This person spoke very little.

Taking the backpack, I looked at the Ultraman pattern and couldn't help but criticize Walter's way of thinking. Which little girl would like Ultraman?

What was he thinking?

"Sister," the timid voice of the little girl rang out as I was about to complain about Walter.

I looked at her, smiling faintly, surprised and delighted in my heart. She actually took the initiative to talk to me. I saw her pointing at the backpack in my hand, her little face full of anticipation, "Can I exchange with you? With a bunny."
