Epilogue 1(2)

"Would you like to be our son?" Leo thoughtfully asked for the boy's opinion. 

This time, the boy could finally confirm that he had heard them right. This couple wanted to adopt him! 

Trying to hide his excitement and anticipation, he timidly looked up at them. Although the lady looked a little hard to befriend, he concluded that she was kind based on how gently she had introduced herself. The man looked friendly, so he nodded. "Yes." 

"That's great! We can complete the adoption procedures then." Shera happily asked for the documents. 

"Ashton, go and get ready." The director instructed, and the boy left with small, hesitant steps. It was as though he was scared that if he stepped out of the door, he would wake up and find that this was only a dream. 

Leo rubbed his head gently. "Is there anything you want to bring with you? Go and get it ready, okay? We will wait for you."
