Mission: Revenge – The Heiress's Second Life novel Chapter 58

Under the dim glow of the streetlamp.

A towering six-foot-two man was hugging a petite young woman.

The shadows of the two figures stretched endlessly across the pavement.

Clara tried to push him away.

But Teddy held onto her, his embrace growing tighter and tighter.

Her breathing hitched. She had no choice but to pry his fingers open one by one until she could finally gasp for a breath of fresh air.

"Waaah, don't leave me behind!"

This exceptionally handsome, mature man suddenly started dropping huge tears.

Clara had never seen a grown man cry in front of her before. His shoulders hitched with every sob, his eyes turned completely red, and large teardrops fell heavily, soaking into his expensive, tailored suit and slowly spreading outward.

She hurriedly pulled a piece of candy from her pocket and shoved it into his mouth.

As if a pause button had been hit, his tears stopped instantly. A bright smile bloomed in his eyes. "So sweet! This is the best candy I've ever had!"

Seeing that he had finally stopped crying, Clara let out a sigh of relief. She carefully weighed her words before saying, "Do you still remember your mom and dad's phone number? I'll call them to come pick you up!"

"I don't have a mom or dad! I'm an orphan!" Teddy looked at her pitifully. "Everyone at my house is a bad guy! They always bully me and make fun of me for being too stupid. I don't want to stay there! Take me home with you! I want to live with you!"

Clara was speechless.

She definitely didn't have a fetish for bringing grown men home.

But this guy absolutely refused to say where he lived, insisting that he was bullied at home every single day.

This put Clara in a seriously difficult position.

If she sent him back, it felt like throwing a lamb back into the wolf's den.

But if she didn't send him back, she honestly had no way to accommodate a living, breathing adult.

"I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep..."

Teddy suddenly let out a yawn, dragging Clara over to sit on a nearby bench.
