"Please don't hurt my sister!"
Nathan's hand that was about to touch the head of the little girl suddenly paused in mid air.
He looked at Bruce on the side who seemed scared just like his sister just a feet away from Nathan.
Dumbfounded by the reaction of the two, Nathan sighed,
He looked sincerely at the two and said, "You don't have to worry, I have no thoughts of harming you two."
Patting the little girl in the head, he pointed at the food inside the container.
"Remember, this kind of food is not something that you should eat anymore, okay?" He said,
The kids remained silent, not promising anything.
So Nathan added, "If you promise me that, I will give you clean food and a place to live."
The eyes of the two lit up and immediately agreed to Nathan's proposition.
"Yes, we promise!"
As kids, they are still naive and will easily believe Nathan's words.
Fortunately, it is Nathan, if it was an organ seller, these two kids would probably have no tomorrow anymore.
When the kids agreed, Nathan gently smiled, "That's good. C'mon then, let's go somewhere where we can eat."
"Oum!"
With the company of two kids, Nathans left the alley and started looking for a restaurant they could eat at.
But then, he suddenly thought of something and looked at thr two kids.
With their current appearance, it would be a surprise if they were able to enter a restaurant.
Nathan is not unreasonable, he knows that those restaurants are running their own business and need to cater to their customers to make them feel comfortable in their place.
Thinking of that, Nathan decided to just take the kids back to the villa.
He led the two into his car and told them to get in.
But a minute passed and the two just stood still outside.
Confused by this, Nathan urged them.
"Eh? What are you two still doing there? Get inside."
Since the two did not seem to have a plan to get inside the car, Nathan observed them for a while and immediately noticed the problem.
"Are you guys scared of dirtying the car?" He asked,
To which the kids nodded without hesitation.
Nathan sighed helplessly, "You don't have to worry about that, just get inside."
Hesitating for the while, the two stepped inside while Bruce supported his little sister.
Once they were sitting, they watched Nathan's reaction for a while.
After seeing that he doesn't seem to be mad at them, Bruce immediately heaved a sigh in relief.
Nathan watched the two in the mirror then asked, "Are you two ready to go? Fasten your seatbelts."
He started the car and stepped on the accelerator, driving in the direction of the villa.
15 minutes later, they arrived at their destination.
Parking his car into the garage, Nathan led the two inside the villa.
Inside the house, Nathan first led the two towards the bathroom.
"You kids should wash yourself first. I will bring you some clothes so you don't have to worry about that. After that, we will start eating."
Watching the two enter the bathroom, Nathan sighed before turning around.
"They are really such pitiful kids. Still so young yet is already suffering so much."
Nathan can't help but think about those days when they just lost their parents.
They are also like that, with no one to help them but their own selves.
Fortunately, he was able to get a job relatively easily although the salary was cheap but at least they were able to eat decent food.
Sighing one last time, Nathan put those thoughts aside and grabbed a few of his and Natalie's old clothes to let the children wear.
He went back to the bathroom and placed the towel and clothes neatly on the floor.
"I left a set of clothes here outside the door, wear it after you're done washing yourselves."
After saying that, he left and walked to the kitchen to start cooking.
10 minutes later, the kids came out of the bathroom looking fresh and much better than before they entered.
When Nathan saw them, he smiled and said, "Come, I already cooked some food."
When they stepped into the kitchen, Bruce and his sister's eyes shone as drools started coming out of their mouths.
Seeing that, Nathan found it funny.
He first took a seat and urged the kids to do as well.
It seems like the two have already accepted his goodwill as Nathan felt that they became a little bit more closer to him.
Since all the food was cooked by him, of course it will be something top class.
That's why the siblings can't take their eyes away from them.
After a simple prayer, Nathan smiled at them and said,
"Let's start eating now."
Taking their first bite, you can see the enjoyment showing in the face of Bruce and his sister, Leticia.
Nathan did not say anything more and also took a few bites of the food while watching the two enjoy themselves.
Not long after, the food on the table disappeared as the kids leaned on their seats with a bulging belly.
*Burp~*
Leticia looked shy as the sound came out of her mouth.
Nathan chuckled, not minding it.
"So, did you like the food that I cooked?"
Leticia was the first to reply.
Nodding her head, she cutely said, "Oum, oum! The food you cook mr. is soooo~ good!"
Unlike her, Bruce bowed his head at Nathan and sincerely said, "Thank you very much for the food mr., it was very delicious."
"It's good that you liked it." Nathan wiped his mouth.
"Now that you're full and clean, let's talk about what I told you earlier."
Looking amiably at them, he seriously said, "Do you want to be able to live a dignified life? A life where you don't have to beg other people for food? Where will people respect you?"
Bruce did not even hesitate before answering,
"Yes! I want to be able to let my sister live a better life!"
