She saw the Royce park in front of the entrance, and blinked for a second.
No, this couldn't be her new father. There was no way on the planet she could get that lucky. This was probably just another industrial tycoon who wanted to pose with poor children in return for a small donation to the orphanage, so he could pose as a philanthrope. Wouldn't be the first time.
Had to be definitely that case, as the headmistress personally rushed to meet him. He had to be that important.
Mai sighed in disappointment, and sat down in the corner. But then the door to the playroom opened, and the man in the really nice and expensive looking clothes she saw enter, walked up straight to her. And even knelt down. They never did that!
She was wide-eyed, hearing him. His little girl? Her new daddy? Bring her home? Was it really true? Did fortune really just shine on her?
She was speechless. She rubbed her eyes, but he was still there. She looked up at the headmistress, but her expression made it clear that she saw him too, and demanded she gave him a response.
- Um... hello, sir... nice to meet you... - she stuttered, but then, blushing, asked again to confirm:
- Are you really going to take me home and be my daddy? - she couldn't even look him in the eyes, even prepared herself to be told this was only a petty, rude joke.
