Chapter 278

Jewel pondered the question earnestly, and she truly lacked the patience to take care of the child, especially one who was both ugly and not her own. She honestly said, “I don’t think I can do it.”

Theo also understood her decision very well. He told her, “I appreciate your honesty, Ms. Fletcher. You may not know, but my childhood was even more tragic than theirs. When I was three years old, I fell into the hands of human traffickers, barely surviving without enough food to eat, becoming nothing but skin and bones. I probably looked even less likable than them, but I was lucky enough to encounter an angel who saved me. That’s why I can bloom amidst the thorns.”

Jewel widened her eyes, she felt very sympathetic towards him. “Theo, I didn’t realize you had such an experience. Is it because of this reason that you decided to support the children here?”

Theo’s gaze fell upon a little girl in the corner, who appeared very quiet. Although her face was thin, her eyes made him feel particularly familiar.

She resembled Thea a lot.

Theo nodded at her chin and said, “The moment I saw this girl, I liked her a lot. So I decided to take her in.”

Jewel found it difficult to understand and tried to stop Theo in every way possible, saying, “Theo, you haven’t even gotten married yet. After you get married, you can have many children

of your own. Your children will surely inherit your talents and beauty, and they will be perfect little treasures. So why do you want to adopt a girl who has no blood relation to you?”

Jewel expressed her disagreement. “Do you know anything about the character of her parents? Parents who can abandon their own child are often heartless and unscrupulous. As the saying goes, ‘Like mother, like daughter.’ If you raise a child with such inferior genes, aren’t you afraid she will turn out badly and disappoint you?”

Theo, however, was certain and said, “No, he wouldn’t. He is a good child.”

Jewel was very worried about him. “Theo, you were too subjective and presumptuous.”

At this moment, the director of the welfare home suddenly came out and pulled up the little girl in the corner. Then she whispered a few words in her ear. The little girl’s gaze glanced towards Theo.

When she saw Theo, her expression was clearly somewhat surprised.

Theo waved at her, and the little girl walked towards him.

The dean kindly said to Theo, “Mr. Sanchez, your adoption procedure has been fully processed. You can take Elsa with you today.”

Theo walked up to the little girl, crouched down, and reached out to touch her hair. His solemn and fierce demeanor towards the staff was completely sealed away. His handsome face softened like water, and his voice deliberately lowered by
