"Dad!"
A crisp voice sounded. Lisa, running at the forefront, threw herself into Henry's arms. She then looked at Sylvia and called, "Mom!"
Lisa made Sylvia smile.
Henry picked Lisa up.
Sitting in Henry's arms, Lisa looked at Milan and asked, "Dad, is she my third mom?"
Milan was drinking water. Lisa's question made her almost spit out.
Milan wiped her mouth and asked, "What do you mean by the third mom? Are there two more?"
Lisa nodded, "Yes, mom Sylvia and mom Jenny."
"Jenny?"
Milan was confused.
She was about to ask, but Jenny walked over, "Sylvia, long time no see."
Jenny wore light makeup that day. Spending time with children had made her looked much younger. Jenny used to have a serene and mature beauty. But at this moment, she looked young and full of life.
Sylvia gave Jenny a dignified smile, unleashing all of her beauty and power. She asked, "I heard President Qin has taken over the orphanage completely?"
The relationship between Sylvia and Jenny was complicated.
When Su Clan first came to Sylvia, Sylvia hadn't known about Henry's true identity, so Sylvia asked Jenny to look after Henry for her.
When Sylvia heard the news of Henry's death, it was also Jenny who kept her company.
Jenny smiled, "Hengyuan is operating on the right track. It doesn't matter if I'm there or not. So I put all my energy into the orphanage. I should thank you for building this kindergarten."
Milan stood aside and observed Sylvia and Jenny. Their interaction gave her a strange feeling. It didn't look like they were hostile toward each other, but there was something fake in their conversation.
Milan couldn't find any similar scenario from all the soap operas she ever watched.
Lisa looked at Henry with her big and innocent eyes, "Dad, mom Jenny said I would get gifts today."
All the other children also looked at Henry expectantly.
Looking at all the adorable and innocent faces, Henry laughed, "Of course. How can I not have gifts for you all? Come with me."
Holding Lisa in his arms, Henry walked in the front like Peter Pan, with all the other children following him. He walked to his car and popped up the trunk.
When the trunk was opened, children exclaimed in excitement.
The children's eyes were sparkling when they stared at all the toys. They really loved the toys Henry brought over. But they were also a bunch of well-behaved children. No one touched anything before Henry said so.
Henry put Lisa down and said with excitement, "Kids, let's dig in! Aunt Sylvia bought them for you."
As soon as Henry said the words, all the children went to pick their favorite toys with joy and laughter.
Enjoying the view, Henry admired how simple happiness was for the children.
