Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 3253

Chapter 3253 Pay The Children A Visit

However, this would be a problem for another day since they hadn’t discovered that she was a fake yet. Megan knew that she was playing with fire by lingering around Jake. However, she couldn’t help being drawn to him.

“Looks like a good place to rest up for the night.” Megan smiled briefly whilst casting a calm gaze at him.

Jake raised his eyebrows at her brisk approval but didn’t say anything else. He then made a quick call to inform someone that they had arrived. Immediately after, the security guard came and unlocked the gate.

The guard then locked the gate again once the two went in. As they stepped foot inside, Megan examined her surroundings in one glance. She soon realized that the orphanage had unexpectedly occupied a large piece of land.

Jake peeked at Megan, whose attention was still immersed in the orphanage’s environments. He was intrigued by how her eyes darted around whilst her lips parted slightly in awe.

Amusement swelled in him as he asked in a calm voice, “You seem to be really taken by this place.”

Megan pulled back her gaze right then. She cleared her throat before shaking her head in dismissal, “No. I’m just curious about this place.”

Jake lifted a brow at her response but didn’t pursue the topic any further.

“It’s getting cold out here. We should head inside.”

Megan nodded and allowed him to lead the way. Once more, he held her hand as they ascended the stairs to the director’s office on the third floor.

The cold winds howled furiously outside the building. Megan and Jake were surprised to see that the director’s office door wasn’t closed. They let themselves in and soon noticed that the director was busy answering a call.

“You’re still working hard at such a late hour?” Jake spoke casually whilst shutting the door to seal out the cold.

Despite this, the office still felt as cold as the insides of a freezer, even without the air conditioning being switched on.

“I’ve been tied up with work. I’ll visit when I get the time.”

Megan glimpsed at Jake’s tepid reaction. While it seemed like he couldn’t care less about the children, Megan could sense the forlorn and helpless look in his eyes.

It’s probably out of his , Megan sighed. I’m sure he wishes that he could visit this place more often. After all, the word “orphanage” carries the weight of his past.

“No, no. Don’t you fret about it. This visit will be more than enough for the kids,” the director comforted him with an understanding smile.

He then walked ahead, guiding the two towards the children’s rooms.

Along the way, the director gave a brief update on the orphanage’s situation to Jake whilst Megan listened in. She was impressed to find out that Jake had been funding this orphanage for the past three years.

No matter what Jake’s intentions were, his kind actions had surpassed that of many philanthropists. This alone was enough to make Megan see him in a different light.
