Chapter 407 “A little” Meredith smileri, embarrassed. “Hold on a little longer. We’ll come again tomorrow.”
Just when they were about to leave, Meredith realized a little boy squatting down by the corner of the field. The boy was in an extremely white set of clothes. He looked a little thin.
He stared at the children playing in the field with two big eyes. They could see that he wanted to play with the other children, but due to some reason, he did not join them.
Meredith got herself free from Josiah’s grasp and walked over to the little boy. She bent down and asked him gently, “Hey, kid, why are you here alone? Don’t you want to play with the other children?”
The little boy shook his head and said nothing.
“What do you mean by shaking your head?” Meredith thought seriously. “Hmm. Let me guess. You shook your head, meaning you don’t want to play with the other children?” The little boy nodded a little.

“Then, why don’t you like playing with them?” Meredith asked once again.
“Because they keep saying that I don’t have a mommy and daddy. I’m an orphan.” “Orphan?” Meredith was stunned.
Right at that moment, a teacher coincidentally came over and pulled the little boy away from the corner while saying to Meredith respectfully, “Mrs. Shelby. Caden’s parents passed away in a car crash when he was one. He was sent to an orphanage by his relatives, which was why he became an orphan.”
Meredith suddenly hushed the teacher. She reprimanded in a soft tone, “How could you say such a thing in front of the boy. He will be sad.”
The teacher was stunned speechless. She immediately apologized, “I’m sorry. I never thought about it.”
Surely enough, Caden became even sadder when he heard about his parents passing away in a car crash.
Meredith looked at Caden’s huge watery eyes. It was as if something had pricked her. Her heart hurt a httle. She felt that the eyes filled with hope and despair seemed somewhat familiar. She pat Caden on the head. “Caden, don’t cry. You’re not an orphan, Miss Leighton will be your mommy in the future, how about that?”
Caden and the other teacher stared at her in surprise with widened eyes.
Josiah was speechless too.
Meredith did not seem to sense their surprise. She caressed Caden’s face. “Let’s go. Mommy’s taking you home.”
