Chapter 1223 Outsider
When Arielle was about to explain the situation, Jason suddenly interrupted, “Wait, Father Moses is coming over.”
When Jason saw Moses, he immediately got rid of his celebrity stature and greeted him humbly. “Father,” Jason greeted respectfully.
Arielle turned toward the white-haired priest and greeted, “Hello, Father Moses.”
Moses was wearing a black robe and looked rather stern.
With just a glance, Arielle noticed the robe was rather seasoned and worn. It was full of mended patches and even had a hole in the collar.
It seems like life is tough here. Arielle was puzzled. Jason is a celebrity, and he could easily get endorsements worth ten million. Why can’t he just donate some of his money? I’m sure he gets such good deals all the time.
While Arielle was still puzzled, she saw the priest’s expression darkened. “Why are you here? Didn’t I ask you not to visit here a few days ago? You’re an adult now, so you’re no longer associated with the orphanage. You shouldn’t come back here anymore. Why are you here again?” Moses asked.
While he was saying that, he waved his hands and chased Arielle and Jason out without considering Jason’s feelings.
Jason was unperturbed. He frowned and asked, “Father, didn’t I wire you some money a few days ago? Why didn’t you buy some new clothes for the kids and yourself? Why are you guys still wearing those old clothes?”
“Oh, I’ve almost forgotten about that.” Moses whipped out an ATM card and shoved it into Jason’s palm. “You’ve wired a total of twenty million. It’s all in there. Take it! The password is your birthday. Don’t ever come back again!”
Seeing that, Arielle could tell that the children liked Jason a lot.
She shifted her gaze toward the priest and hesitated for a few seconds before saying to Jason, “Jason, take the ATM card.”
Jason was just about to turn the priest down. However, he changed his mind after seeing the look in Arielle’s eyes. He then took the ATM card from the priest.
“Father Moses.” Arielle smiled widely. “Although I’ve never been religious, I have respect for your belief. Would you mind sparing me two minutes of your time? I’d like to have a private conversation with you.”
Moses gazed at her. After a few seconds, he nodded. “Alright.”
