After finishing the project I was working on, I had Cody drive back to the company. As we passed the north side of the city, I happened to see Starlight Children’s Home by the road.
At first, I only glanced at it casually-but then I spotted a familiar figure in the yard. It was Amanda.
I signaled Cody to stop and slowly rolled down the car window. In the yard, Amanda was playing happily with a group of children. She wore a simple white hoodie, and her hair was loosely tied back.
A bright smile lit up her face. It wasn’t her usual calm and composed smile, and not the playful one she showed once in a while. It was pure joy from the heart, so dazzling that it was hard to look away.
I felt surprised, and even a little unfamiliar.
I was used to seeing her serious and focused while handling work. I had also seen her playful side when she teased Josh. But I had never seen her this open, relaxed, and laughing so freely.
The sunlight fell on her like a soft glow. She bent over to run and jump with the children, then crouched down to comfort a crying child. Her eyes were gentle and warm.
At that moment, my heart stirred for no clear reason.
“Mr. Ortega, should we go in and say hello?” Cody asked softly.
I looked away and shook my head.
Seeing how happy she was, I didn’t want to interrupt this peaceful moment. “No. Let’s go back to the office,” I said, then paused. “Have someone prepare a batch of supplies. Food, school supplies, and toys. Send them to this children’s home later in the company’s name.”
“Understood, Mr. Ortega,” Cody replied as he started the car.
As the car slowly drove away, I watched Amanda still laughing and playing with the children in the rearview mirror. Without realizing it, the corner of my mouth lifted slightly. Amanda, how many sides of you do I still not know?
Amanda’s POV:
I played wildly with the children all morning. It wasn’t until Freya called them in for lunch that I finally got a chance to rest.

“Amanda, you must be exhausted,” Freya said as she walked over with a cup of warm water and handed it to me. “Drink some water and take a break.”
I took the cup and had a sip. The warmth slid down my throat. I smiled and shook my head. “I’m not tired at all. I’m really happy being with the kids.”
Freya sat down beside me and looked at the children playing nearby. Her eyes were full of love, but I noticed a hint of worry.
She hesitated for a moment before speaking softly. “Amanda, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
Seeing her expression, my heart skipped a beat. quickly asked, “Freya, what’s wrong? Is the children’s home having trouble?”
Freya nodded and sighed. “Funds are a bit tight lately. The previous donations are almost used up. The children’s tuition for the second half of the year and their winter clothes are still not ready. I don’t know what to do.”
Her voice was full of helplessness. “I didn’t want to tell you. I was afraid of troubling you, but I really have no other choice…”
I grew tense at once. This place meant so much to me, and the children were always on my mind.
Without hesitation, I said, “Freya, don’t worry. I handle the money. I’ll transfer it to you right now.”
As soon as I finished speaking, I pulled out my phone and opened my banking app. But when I entered the amount, a message popped up saying, “Transaction restricted.”
I froze, then suddenly remembered that a few days ago, while handling matters at Glacier Pack, I had set a temporary limit on large transfers for security reasons. The account status hadn’t been restored yet, so I really couldn’t send such a large amount.
I frowned at the message on the screen. What should I do now?
The children’s needs couldn’t wait, but I couldn’transfer the money directly.
Just as I was panicking, I suddenly remembered the racing competition Theo had mentioned before. The champion prize was ten million crystal stones.
The moment that thought appeared, my spirits lifted.
Ten million crystal stones was more than enough to solve all the children’s home’s current money problems.
