As soon as he arrived at the office door, he just ran into his childhood friend Bromwickfen coming out of the office. When she saw Chris, she said happily, "Brother Chris, why are you here?"
Chris smiled slightly and said, "I have something to find Aunt Mary for, is she there?"
"She is here." Bromwickfen smiled, and hugged Chris's arm when he came up, and said affectionately: "Brother, you haven't come here these days, people miss you!"
Chris smiled and said, "Do you think you won't call me?"
"I'm afraid you are busy!" Bromwickfen said delicately, "I don't want to delay your business."
Chris said: "Okay, I will invite you to dinner the sometime, and you can go ahead if you have anything to do. I will go in and find Aunt Mary."
Bromwickfen said: "Okay, brother, you go to Aunt Mary first, I will go to the back kitchen to see if the children's dinner has started, don't rush away later, I will come to you when I'm done."
"Okay."
After Bromwickfen left, Chris just knocked on the door, and Aunt Mary's kind voice came from inside: "It's Chris, right? Come in!"
Chris opened the door and saw Aunt Mary sitting at a simple desk, looking through a pile of documents.
Aunt Mary raised her head to look at him, pushed her glasses, and asked with a smile, "Why are you here? You didn't say you were."
Chris smiled unnaturally: "Aunt Mary, I am looking for you, I want to ask you something."
Aunt Mary nodded and said with a smile: "Why are you polite to Auntie, just say it."
Chris walked to Aunt Mary, sat down on the chair opposite her desk, looked at her, hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Aunt Mary, I came to you to ask you back then Some details that took me into the orphanage."
Aunt Mary's expression flashed with a slight astonishment, but she quickly returned to business as usual. She smiled and said, "It's been more than ten years, and auntie may not remember many details, but you can just ask if I know I will tell you."
Chris is not a fool, and the subtle changes in Aunt Mary's expression were not ignored by him.
On the contrary, he saw some problems from the slight changes.
If Aunt Mary had nothing to hide from him, she shouldn't have that expression at all.
She must have something in her heart, so that it would appear unnatural on the surface.
So he looked at Aunt Mary and asked seriously: "In fact, I want to know, after I came to the orphanage, has anyone come to the orphanage to look for me in the ten years before I left?"
Aunt Mary said without hesitation: "No, never."
Chris frowned and asked: "Really, no one?"
Aunt Mary said confidently: "Really none."
"That's not right." Chris looked at Aunt Mary, couldn't help but sighed, and said with emotion: "Aunt Mary, I am the one you saw when you were a child. I will always remember this kindness, so in front of you, I too am not going to lie, I'll tell you what I have."
When Chris said this, Aunt Mary's expression became a little flustered.
She realized that Chris knew something this time.
However, she didn't dare to say anything, so she was extremely nervous.
Chris continued to say at this time: "Auntie, I heard that the best friend of my father had come to Hillsprings many times to find me, and he also came to our Hillsprings Welfare Institute more than once?!"
