302 Orphan

() The crystal ankle boots inlaid with fine gemstone buds, and the light pink skirt made little Staci standing at the door look even more cute and playful.

But facing Staci's clear looking eyes, Lei Meng suddenly felt sadness and regret.

"Stacy, come and sit down." Raymond, whose tone softened, greeted the little girl who was a little scared. "Don't call me my lord from now on, just call me by my name from now on."

As if she had just learned lady manners, Staci stood on tiptoe with both hands holding the corners of her skirt, shaking her body and trying to bow down to salute, but the lifted light pink skirt exposed her panties inside . . .

And Francis, who was standing aside with an angry face, also became sad when he saw this expression. He immediately walked up to the little girl Staci, knelt down to support her, and whispered to her very pitifully. "Is the manor in the northwest fun?"

Staci, who was obviously a little afraid of him, became very cautious. "Thank you for your arrangement. I like everything in the manor very much."

"That's good, that's good..." Frances, who was a little embarrassed, quickly stood up, smiled wryly at Raymond, and hurriedly left.

"Lord Raymond, where is my grandfather?" The little girl Staci, who seemed to be in a certain fear of Frances, regained her smile after seeing him leave, and ran up to Raymond, muttering softly. "I miss him so much!" . .

The little girl Staci, who was tilting her head with an expectant expression on her face, made Raymond feel sore for a moment. He reached out and hugged Staci standing in front of him, put him on his lap, and explained softly to her. "Because I have something important to tell him, so I can't return to you for a short time, and I will take care of you for the time being, is that okay?"

A trace of doubt flashed in the clear and bright eyes. With a thoughtful expression on her face, little Staci asked cautiously. "Lord Raymond, did my grandfather leave a message for me?"

The one who was asked was stunned, looking at the little girl Staci whose face turned dark, Lei Meng quickly seemed to think of something. "Oh, yes! Jonas asked me to tell you, before he comes back, you must be obedient, so that when he comes back, he will bring you many toys!"

"I don't want toys!" Staci pouted, and the expression on her face became even weirder. "But I will be obedient!"

Touching Staci's soft hair. Raymond, who held her in his arms, didn't want her to see his sad expression.

Falling into the silent room, Raymond fell into a daze unconsciously, feeling the soft body of the little girl Staci.

But after a long time, seeing that Raymond hadn't let go of her plan, Staci began to twist her body in Raymond's arms and yelled loudly. "Lord Raymond. Then can I go and play with Sister Suzie? I made an appointment with her to go to the garden..."

Lei Meng, who quickly let go of the little girl Staci, asked curiously. "Susie? Is she your friend?"

"Yes!" said the little girl Staci with a strange expression on her face. His eyes widened and he shouted. "She is the little granddaughter of the housekeeper's grandpa. She just has a bad temper. She will be angry if I go late!"

The serious face of Staci made Raymond smile.

Raymond, who casually wrapped up the snacks on the table and handed them to her, smiled and opened his mouth. "Remember, if anyone dares to bully you, come back and tell me, and I will help you!"

Joy appeared on the face. But Staci, who was holding a snack in one hand and the corner of her skirt in the other, wanted to salute. "Thank you, Lord Raymond, I'll go then!"

But her weird posture made Lei Meng feel even more uncomfortable, and he quickly waved his hands and turned around. It is a promise.

The sound of small footsteps left the room quickly, but Lei Meng, who was standing in the room, fell into deep thought.

Hobson's death made Stacey, the only granddaughter he left in this world, an orphan. This cute little girl still has a strange gene in her body, making it difficult for her to live beyond twenty years.

"No matter what, we must get rid of this hidden disease in Staci's body," Lei Meng made the decision silently, but felt a sense of oppression in his chest. "If I can't protect the people around me, then what's the point of my efforts to improve my strength!"

The thoughts aroused by Staci became a little misty, but soon Lei Meng heard faint sobs from the corridor outside the door.

The stunned Raymond hurried out of the room, followed the source of the sobs, and soon he saw the little girl Staci sitting on the steps at the corner of the stairs.

Staci, who covered her face with her hands and shrugged her shoulders, was sobbing softly. Her suppressed and mournful cry made Raymond feel his heart breaking.

Without opening his mouth to persuade him, he suddenly realized that the little girl Staci's mental age must not be as young as Raymond looked. He sat with her on the steps of the stairs and held the little girl Staci in his arms. inside.

Sensing Raymond's presence, it took a while for the weeping Staci to murmur with a choked voice. "Grandpa really isn't coming back, is he?"

Raymond, who didn't know how to answer, fell silent.

The little girl Staci, who seemed to have figured it out, began to speak on her own.

It turned out that Hobson had instilled some things in her when she was very young, making her understand the existence of this hidden disease in her body, and Hobson even told her that if one day Hobson could not Appearing in front of her, it also means that she needs to face everything outside alone.

"Grandpa said, you must be strong!" The sobbing little girl Staci tried her best to calm herself down. After she broke free from Raymond's arms, she looked at Raymond with a very serious expression. "I can wash clothes and cook porridge. I will work hard to support myself in the future. I will not be your burden. Please don't abandon me..."

Suddenly, Lei Meng, whose heart was crushed, hugged Staci in his arms and yelled loudly. "I will not abandon you! Staci, you will grow up happily, you will become the most enviable girl, and you will have a brand new life!"

Little Staci, who was hugged in her arms, trembled a little, but she restrained herself and stopped making a sound.

But the warm liquid felt on the neck made Raymond understand that this little girl is still not free from grief, her tears are flowing, and her silent sobs are hurting Raymond's heart that should have been hard ... (To be continued.)
