Chapter 256

Daran didn’t realize that this child’s eyes looked just like his.

He simply found this boy the cutest child that he had ever seen.

The boy was a bundle of adorable with his round little face that boasted irresistibly puffy cheeks.

But he didn’t seem to care about it at all.

“Are you hungry?” he asked the boy.

The boy hesitated and nodded.
