Let’s start all over again,shall we?

Chapter 386 Little Moon.

Shortly after. Nathael donned the white shirt and then layered on the bomber jacket from Maggie.

Glancing at him, Maggie felt a bit distracted.

The jacket seemed a tad oversized on him, but perhaps his height allowed him to carry it well. It didn’t give off the impression of a child wearing adult clothing, and instead looked like he was wearing borrowed attire

“You look great, Maggie remarked involuntarily. She wished his hair wouldn’t cover his face, which she found incredibly handsome.

But Maggie didn’t push the matter. She understood that being overly good–looking in the orphanage might not be ideal.

While the teachers and director favored neat and attractive children, constant attention due to looks could lead to trouble. Over time, even the fondness from authority figures might dwindle due to their reluctance to handle issues arising from the children’s good looks.

So Maggie thought it wise to tone it down a bit, although his excessively fair complexion still stood out.

“What’s your name?” Maggie inquired once more..

This time. Nathael stayed silent, seemingly reluctant to disclose his name to this newfound acquaintance.

The Harrises were in turmoil, and they hadn’t found the person who wanted him dead, so he couldn’t reveal his identity.

With no response, Maggie didn’t press further. She grinned and suggested, “I’ll call you Little Mute.”

Nathael remained silent. Maggie turned to the window and murmured, “I don’t know my own name, but everyone calls me Little Moon, and I quite like it.”

Maggie didn’t mention that the teacher initially named her Casey Adam, saying that the person who brought her here had left an item with Adam‘ written on it, so they assumed it was her last name.

But Maggie disliked the name. She vehemently protested, shedding tears and throwing tantrums, yet the teacher persisted in using it..

Nevertheless, Maggie found it unpleasant and refused to respond whenever someone called out ‘Casey Adam, even if it meant punishment or withheld meals. She remained stubborn.

Finally, due to exhaustion, hunger, and fever, the teacher relented and asked her preferred name.
