Chapter 1898
She looked at the family of three. What a happy and harmonious family of three. They were a family while Eira, on the other hand, was truly a beggar. She turned around and left silently.As Delmont was about to tell Eira to go home on her own, she was already gone. The eight-year-old child did not know how to get home by herself. After walking for a very long time, she found a phone booth. After she had persuaded the man in the phone booth with all the reasons she could think of, he finally let her make a call. She did not dare to let the cash in her pocket be exposed as she was afraid she would be robbed. That money was practically the lifeline for her entire family.The call was made to the store downstairs from where Eira, her brother, and their mother were living. Once the call got through, Eira immediately said, "Mister Wilson, could you please help call for my brother?"Her brother went down very quickly and picked up the call. Once he heard Eira was not able to find her way h

"H-hello, I…I am here to deliver lunch to my brother. Am I…disrupting you guys?" The little girl was so frightened that she did not dare to look up. She had never been in and out of such high-end places for being a consumer. She was feeling incomparably nervous.However, the pianist smiled gently. "Do you really like that piece just now?"Eira nodded. "Mm-hmm.""How do you feel after listening to it?" asked the pianist again.Eira became a little less afraid of the pianist. The pianist seemed very gentle, so she raised her head and bravely expressed what she felt. "Well, it feels as if a stream had gently flowed by. It's very…very moisturizing."There were very few adjectives that the child could think of, but her description was spot on. That was because the piece that the pianist had just played was "The Dream of Snow." This piece indeed made others feel such a cheerful and soothing feeling. It truly felt as if a stream had gently flowed past one's side.The pianist bent over s

"Where are you going to get money when you're still at such a young age?" Malvolio immediately asked."Malvolio, I have long fingers." That seemed to be out of context.Malvolio looked at his sister's slender and beautiful fingers and he felt heartbroken. "When I have made a lot of money, I will send to learn piano. Do you like that piano very much?" he asked, as he pointed at the piano.Eira nodded. "Mm-hmm."She raised her head to look at her brother. "Malvolio, I'll go ask my dad for money."She originally wanted to say that her fingers are very long, so she can use her long fingers to steal from her father. Although Eira still did not know where people with long fingers could be pickpockets and could steal, she felt what the elegant pianist said would certainly be right. He seemed like a cultured person, so if he said her long fingers were suitable for pickpocketing, then she certainly could steal money. She wanted to tell her brother very badly that she intended to use her lo

Eira nodded in tears. From then on, whenever she saw someone having some snacks, she only watched and drooled. She had never snatched anything away from others anymore.Her brother forbade her from stealing. If she were to steal, her brother would break her legs. She kept thinking about that throughout her whole journey home. She arrived home silently while she was thinking of that. When she got home, she saw her mother curling on the edge of the bed."Mom, Mom, what happened to you?" asked Eira, rushing forward."Eira, I can't earn money anymore. Our little wooden shed is gone. I can't buy a down jacket for you anymore. You'll freeze." Eira's mother hugged her and squeezed her very tightly.Eira was in pain from being squeezed by her mother, but she did not move. She did not resist and did not escape. She knew her mother cared for her. Her mother, who had originally recovered, had a relapse because she had lost her small wooden shed due to the demolition of their neighborhood. Al

Eira raised her head and looked at Delmont, but she did not say anything.Delmont had a panic-stricken expression. He could not acknowledge Eira. Even if he cared for Eira very much in his heart, he could not acknowledge her at that moment. Just three days ago, there was a parent-teacher conference in his daughter’s class. During that time, every student had written an essay titled "My Father." Brooke had praised him, her father, to be great and generous. The most important thing was that Brooke had mentioned many times in her essay that she was the only daughter. She was the little princess and the apple of her parents' eyes. At the end of her essay, Brooke even emphasized that she had seen too many children from single-parent families or blended families who were not so happy. She felt that children should be the happiest when they were with their original family. It was best when their biological parents had never been divorced. She even urged the parents of the little children in

Hearing Delmont and Brooke calling her a little beggar, Eira actually felt very sad. However, once she thought of the purpose for her coming that day, Eira could only clench both her fists tightly and tried her best to force a smile on her face. She looked at Brooke and Delmont. "Mister Stevens and Miss Stevens, I am not here to ask for something today. I am here to thank you. Two years ago, you had given me two new clothes and a pair of new shoes. I have always remembered that. I have always wanted to repay your kindness. However, I knew that you were not lacking in anything, so I didn’t know how to repay you. Therefore, I was thinking that I can serve Miss Stevens. Firstly, it's to repay your kindness. Secondly, it's also to earn a little money, just being able to cover my basic needs would be enough."Eira looked at Brooke. The way Eira looked at that moment made Brooke extraordinarily satisfied. The word serve, in particular, made Brooke beam. Such a little beggar only deserved to

"Are you blind? How can you enter the door directly when your feet are so dirty? Don't you know to go over there and wipe the dust off the soles of your feet first?" Brooke's sharp and angry shouting instantly pulled Eira back from being in her thoughts.Eira hurriedly pulled her foot. After that, she obediently walked over to the doormat at the side and cleaned all the dust off the sole of her feet. Only then did she dare to follow Delmont into the house.After she entered the door, Joy looked at Eira, who was standing at the side and was slightly at a loss, then she said coldly, "Since you're here to serve Brooke, then just follow Brooke and serve her. Brooke has to practice the piano after school, so you just stand and serve her at the side. If Brooke is thirsty, then you pour her a glass of water. If she is hungry, then bring her some snacks. If she is tired or sleepy, you can help to massage her lightly. Do you understand?""I understand," Eira answered. After that, she followe
Chapter 1905
However, no matter how much money the glass was worth, Eira could never afford it. She originally just wanted to sneak in to steal some money before returning home, so that she could buy medication for her mother. That way, her brother would not need to work so hard. However, she never expected that things would suddenly turn out this way. She just knew she could not let Brooke go and tell their father. She could not go to the police station. She was already ten years old. She knew what kind of place a police station was. Only people who had done bad things would be taken to the police station. However, she did not and had not done any bad things. She also did not break that glass on purpose. While thinking about that, Eira chased after Brooke and she caught up to Brooke at the stairs.At that moment, Eira had no time to be afraid anymore. She reached out her hand and pulled Brooke. "Miss Stevens, I didn’t do it on purpose. I really didn't do it on purpose. I was scalded and I didn’t
