Aldrich shivered all over, coughed lightly, and walked forward with Andrea pretending to not know anything.

Out of the corner of his eye, he aimed at Andrea, and Aldridge could clearly see her flushed face.

There were still a lot of pedestrians on the street, but it felt like there were only two of them left here.

Aldridge didn't want to embarrass the atmosphere. He wanted to make this breakthrough moment the norm, so he whispered, "Going to buy some presents?"

"Well, buy some toys and fruits or something..." Andrea replied softly, in a soft tone that she had never felt before.

"Okay."

The two held hands, picked gifts at the gift shop, and bought a lot of fruit at the fruit shop. If it weren't for the fact that Spurzi, a city in the southern part of the empire, had almost no citrus fruit, Andrea would definitely choose this fruit, which is more expensive. , but sweet and crunchy fruit.

In a trance, Aldrich even thought that the two had formed a family and were choosing gifts for their children...

However, when he successfully returns from the sea and brings Eve home, it will be no different from a small family, right?

The warmth that Aldridge felt at this moment was something he had never felt in the six months since he came to this world.

Even Johnny couldn't give him that feeling.

I'm sorry Johnny...I'm such a superficial man who cares less about friends!

At around 3 pm, the two came to the door of the Sea Voice Orphanage.

"etc……"

Just as she was about to go in, Andrea pulled Aldridge back.

She took a deep breath, causing her chest to rise and fall significantly, and then she said, "Okay."

She was nervous.

Aldrich patted her right hand on his arm lightly and comforted, "It's okay, Eve is a good boy."

"Um."

Andrea is not good at communicating with people, and has almost zero experience in communicating with children, so nervousness is inevitable.

The two pushed open the door and walked in. The children were playing in the yard under the care of Mrs. Murphy. Carula was sitting on the seat in the yard as usual, drinking tea and basking in the sun, looking at the yard with an old mother smiling. children in.

Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open, she turned her head to look, her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Uncle Aldrich!"

"Brother Aldrich!"

When the children saw him come in, they immediately became a mess, and a bunch of little guys immediately surrounded him.

Speaking of which, Aldridge hadn't come to the orphanage for a long time when the children were in group activities. If it was not during study time or during nap time, this feeling of being surrounded was a bit fresh.

Aldridge saw Eve for the first time, she was quiet, with her little feet on her feet, and looked at Aldridge expectantly.

"Brother Aldrich, who is this big sister?" One of the little girls looked at Andrea next to her and asked with a milky voice, "Is that your wife?"

"Definitely! Mrs. Murphy said that only husband and wife can hold hands!" A little boy couldn't wait to express himself.

Andrea's face flushed instantly, and she immediately pulled her hand back from Aldridge's arm.

"Okay kids! Hurry up and play with your own!" Karula clapped her hands and drove the little guys away.

"Excuse me, Mrs. Murphy." Aldridge nodded to the gentle and kind Mrs. Murphy, who returned a warm smile.

"Ouch, not bad, are you bringing your fiancee to see Eve?" Karula came over with a teasing expression on her face.

Aldrich laughed "haha", but didn't refute it, letting Andrea sneak a fist into his lower back.

He quickly changed the subject, "Let me introduce you, this is Ms. Karula, the head of the orphanage, this is my... girlfriend, Andrea Alva."

The blush on Andrea's face just subsided and reappeared, but it gave Aldridge face and said seriously, "Hello, Miss Carula."

"Haha, hello!"

When they were chatting, Eve stood shyly not far away, hesitant to go forward.

"Eve."

Aldridge crouched down and waved with a smile.

The little girl immediately trotted over and rushed into Aldridge's open arms, a dimpled smile on her face.

As soon as he used his arms, Aldrich picked Eve up, let her sit on his forearm, faced Andrea, and said, "Eve, this is your sister Andrea."

As soon as Eve saw the stranger, her expression immediately became a little timid and uneasy.

Seeing this, Andrea tried her best to show a smile, and said softly, "Hello, Eve."

Eve put her arms around Aldridge's neck, lowered her head and said nothing, her fingers sliding uncomfortably on the back of Aldridge's neck.

Andrea knew some of Eve's situation, she didn't feel uncomfortable, she just felt a little pity——

The first time they met, Eve wasn't too close to her.

Although Carula was hearty, this was not the time for her to speak, so she just watched quietly from the side.

Aldrich patted Eve's body lightly with his hand and whispered against her ear, "Eve, don't be afraid, she is the closest person to your brother Aldridge."

He knew that Eve was a well-behaved and sensible child, and would not make it difficult for him, but he also understood Andrea, as long as the big girl and the little girl started to try to make contact, sooner or later she would accept the other party.

Eve nodded, turned to look at Andrea, moved her little body, and retracted again.

Andrea was very happy, and said softly, "Eve, can I hug you?"

Eve shrank subconsciously, Aldridge looked at her encouragingly, and after a few seconds, she let go of Aldrich's neck and stretched her arms towards Andrea.

Andrea immediately took her into her arms gently, and clumsily adjusted to Aldridge's previous posture.

Aldridge suddenly wanted to laugh a little bit. Andrea's appearance was not as handsome and capable as when she taught him martial arts. When she was holding Eve~lightnovelpub.net~, the muscles in her entire body were stiff.

Eve smelled the refreshing scent of shampoo on Andrea's body and felt a little relieved, and tentatively hugged Andrea's neck.

Andrea was a little excited, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be turned away any more, and she rubbed her long pale blonde hair and Eve's little brown wavy curly hair together.

so cute……

Aldrich looked at the two girls with unprecedented peace of mind.

"Let them get along for a while, let's chat on the side." Karula tugged at Aldridge's clothes and whispered.

Aldridge gave Andrea a look, and after she nodded, she walked aside with Carula.

"What's wrong? I feel like you want to ask me something." Aldridge asked.

There was no longer a smile on Karula's face, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Do you know what my brother is related to Helena?"
