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.

Daran cleared his throat and sat down on the curb side–by–side with the child.

His tailored pants got stained and his shiny shoes were in the mud.

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

“Are you hungry?” he asked the boy.

The boy hesitated and nodded.

“…I haven’t eaten in 3 days,” he said in a frustrated, soft little voice. Daran gritted his teeth. Those goddamn parents deserved to burn in hell!
