“I am sorry, Master Wyatt,” Cindy hurriedly apologized, realizing that in the heat of the moment, she had taken it too far. She was used to taking liberties with Diana but Wyatt was clearly not Diana. Hopefully, he would forgive her with an apology.
“See to it that it doesn’t happen again,” Wyatt did not want to be tight ass around his employees but he also did not want to be taken lightly or lose their respect. This was a very thin line to walk on.
The atmosphere in the SUV had turned awkward. However, it was perfect for Cortney to calm herself and focus on the matter at hand. As for Bloodette, she got locked in Cortney’s innate rune just when she was about to ask Wyatt to give Cortney his vitamin D. Cortney hates locking Bloodette in her innate rune but times like this call for it.
Taking control of her mind and body, she said, “So, as I was saying. Wyatt, please help us. We are stuck.” Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
“I have been trying to help you from the start,” Wyatt retorted.
Having realized this Diana and Cindy knew why the orphanage system was the same when the world kept developing. They understood why no one tried to change it.
Because nobody, even those who wanted to help, was not ready to give up their life for the orphaned kids’ lives. Only a parent could do that. No matter how much sympathy they had for these kids, they could not bring themselves to abandon their dreams and goals just to live solely for the orphaned kids. Only a parent could do that.
Because Diana and Cindy had realized this, they felt terrible. More importantly, they both were orphans. They knew what these orphan kids were going through yet they could not bring themselves to abandon everything and live solely for the orphaned kids.
This was why they said that they were considering giving up on improving the orphanage system and sticking to their old method, donating money and resources.
It became clear to Wyatt that Diana and Cindy had realized this when they persuaded Cortney to forget about improving the orphanage system and just try to properly manage the city’s orphanage. They did not know if Cortney was ready to give up on her life and just live for the orphaned kids but they hoped focusing on managing the city’s orphanage would help her get there sooner and help decide what was best for her.
Cortney was young, she had not experienced life enough like them. She was still naive and ignorant, one day she too will also realize what they had realized, and then a time will come when she will have to face the cruel reality of making the choice. Just like how they chose what’s best for them, they hoped Cortney too would choose what’s best for her and not based on what’s best for the orphan kids because then she would not be doing the kids any favor. Worse comes to worse she might even end up resenting them for it.
“What the fuck are you saying? I had a mother for a few months and believe me, she was no help. At first, I cozied up to her for her money but then instead of using that opportunity to form an actual and real mother-and-daughter bond with me, she used her money to control me. If not for my plan to give her money to the orphanage I would not have succumbed to her tricks,” Cortney strongly disagreed with Wyatt.
“Cortney, forget your mother. There must have been some adult figure in your life that had left a strong impression on you.”
