Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 772:

A child dashed by too quickly and bumped into Milly’s leg, stumbling slightly before hurriedly apologizing, “Sorry, Miss.”

“It’s alright,” Milly smiled, brushing off the incident. “Just be careful and slow down on the road.” She couldn’t resist ruffling the child’s hair, her eyes softening as she looked at his innocent face.

The child, still looking up at her, suddenly blurted, “Miss, you’re so pretty.”

The pure honesty in the child’s words made Milly’s heart swell. She smiled, feeling a warmth she hadn’t realized she needed. “And you’re very cute.”

The little boy grinned, his face lighting up. “Miss, you’re the prettiest and kindest lady I’ve ever seen. I wish my sister could be as gentle as you.” He nuzzled her palm.

Before Milly could respond, a sharp voice called out from behind them. “You little rascal, what are you up to? Get back here now!”

The boy froze, his face dropping with fear. He turned and bolted, calling over his shoulder, “Miss, I have to go!”

Milly watched the child disappear into the distance, her smile lingering for a moment. But then, her expression faltered, a shadow crossing her face as something heavy weighed on her thoughts.
