Chapter 232

"Everybody always lies."

The child said, her tone sounding sad as Lady Melissa finally understood what she had meant- she had probably lied to multiple times, and her guess was from the orphans in the orphanage.

Probably a promise saying that they would return and see her, but they never did, and the director and his wife probably promised her that one day they'd come back and see her.

"I agree."

Lady Melissa said, as the child was a little surprised, she hadn't expected Lady Melissa to agree with her, she had expected her to lie to her once more and say that people don't lie.

After all, it was what the other kids and grown-ups would say to her.

The child turned her back, as she finally looked at Lady Melissa, whose eyes widened a bit, in surprise, not expecting for the child to finally look at her.

"Go, what are you waiting for? You promised."
