Chapter 658

Eliza's heart ached at the sight. She reached out and gently patted his head. "Not right now, sweetie."

"And later on?"

"Later... I'm not sure," Eliza admitted, feeling the weight of uncertainty.

The little guy seemed to grasp her hesitation, his fluffy head drooping slowly. "Thanks, ma'am. I'll head back now."

Watching him take those few steps, Eliza called out, "Where are you going? There's no one at home to look after you."
