Shane’s lips curled into a genuine smile upon hearing the compliment.
Just then, his phone rang abruptly.
Natalie responsively retreated from his embrace.
Shane took out the phone and noticed it was from Silas. Without hesitation, he answered the call. “What is it?”
“Mr. Shane, the person in charge of the orphanage just called me and said that a family wanted to adopt Donald.” Silas cut to the chase.
Shane narrowed his eyes. “Adopt Donald?”
“That’s right.” Silas nodded right away.
Natalie looked at Shane confusedly. “Shane, what’s going on?”
“A family wants to adopt Donald,” Shane responded briefly.
Natalie blinked her eyes in befuddlement. “Adopt? Donald’s profile says he has a father. He shouldn’t be on the list for adoption. Didn’t the orphanage tell the adopting party about that?”
Shane asked Silas that question right away.
Silas started explaining, “The director has told the other party about that. But he also mentioned that Donald’s father is currently in prison, and his father seems not to be interested in taking care of Donald even after he gets out. Thus, the director hopes Donald can be adopted. That’s why he included the latter’s name on the list.”
“How did the director know that Warren isn’t planning to take care of Donald after he gets out?” Shane furrowed his brows.
Natalie was curious about that too.
