Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 225

“What’s wrong?” Yvonne scooted closer, her round eyes full of curiosity and quiet concern.

She slid from her own seat to the one next to Anna’s right beside the new boy, Hudson. Big eyes fixed on him, she watched carefully, as if trying to read his mood.

Hudson looked nervous. He kept his head down, quietly fingering the round little tomato in his pocket. He didn’t say a word.

Yvonne leaned her arms on the desk and spoke in a soft, cottony voice. She was unusually sensitive to people’s emotions. Even though Hudson hadn’t said a single word to her, she could tell–he didn’t dislike her.

She thought back to her own first day of school. She had been too shy to talk to anyone, too. But the kids in her class had been kind, and little by little, she had made friends.

Hudson reminded her of herself.

So Yvonne didn’t feel snubbed at all. Resting her chin in her hand, she blinked her clear, bright eyes and asked sweetly, “Are your family running late too?”

She slipped into a big–sister tone, her voice gentle and reassuring. “Don’t worry. They’ll come pick us up soon.”

Hudson lifted his eyes slowly, looking at her with a strange expression.

Of course she could say that–she was from a wealthy family. Even if her parents didn’t come, someone would. A chauffeur, a maid, a butler. Someone.

But Hudson only had his brother. Gabriel had dropped him off that morning and left right away–he was always busy. Hudson looked down again and murmured, barely audible, “My brother’s not coming… He doesn’t know.”

So no one was coming for him. And even though he knew it, he still sat here waiting.

No one knew what was going through his little head, but the way he stared at the floor, hunched over and silent, he looked heartbreakingly small.

Yvonne paused for a moment. Then she looked toward the two teachers chatting by the classroom door.

“Miss!” she called, standing up and raising her hand like the perfect student.

Her voice drew both teachers‘ attention–and Hudson’s, too. He looked up, blinking, confused.
