Abandoned Super Cutie Adopted by Billionaire Clan

Chapter 228

Once the teacher confirmed the man was indeed a parent from their class, she let him in.

Hudson stood up, clutching his folded jacket close to his chest, ready to go home.

Gabriel walked over and naturally picked up his school bag, then bent down to scoop the boy into his arms–his posture smooth and practiced, like he’d done it a hundred times.

At that moment, Hudson finally mustered the courage he’d been summoning all day. Face flushed and a little shy, he gave Yvonne a tiny wave.

It was a moment he’d rehearsed over and over in his head before the end of school

“I… I’m heading out now. Thank you,” he said, voice soft but brave.

Even Gabriel looked a little surprised. His brows lifted slightly as he followed Hudson’s gaze to the little girl he was talking

to.

Compared to Hudson, Yvonne was calm and casual. After all, she was popular–every day someone waved goodbye to her.

She raised her chubby hand and waved with a bright, sweet voice. “See you tomorrow, Hudson!”

Hudson immediately ducked his head, cheeks pink. Still, he turned to Gabriel and whispered, “Gabriel, she brought me home today when you didn’t come. She let me ride in her car and even gave me lunch…”

Gabriel shifted his gaze back to Yvonne.

She looked healthy and well–loved, with rosy cheeks and a naturally gentle presence–an effortlessly likable child.

Yvonne, meanwhile, was staring back at him with wide, curious eyes. It was her first time seeing someone with white hair in real life.

At three years old, she found it magical. Her mind instantly went to her favorite fairy tales.

If a white–haired prince rode in on a white horse… he’d probably look like this.

Noticing her awestruck gaze, Gabriel’s smile deepened slightly.

He lowered his eyes, and in a blink, those clear, innocent eyes gained a sudden spark–like a kitten reaching out with one soft paw to tap someone’s heart.
