When the three of them stepped out of the orphanage and were about to head toward the restaurant, a pleasantly surprised voice sounded in their ears," Charlie, Stephanie!"
The both of them turned around and saw several figures walking toward them.
These people were all the friends who had grown up with him in the orphanage.
However, there were many people from this group that Charlie had basically not seen again ever since he had left the orphanage. 4
The only person he had kept in touch with after leaving the orphanage was his close friend, Harvey. 7
During Charlie’s early years in the orphanage, he had a very reticent attitude and personality because of his parents' accidental death. He was very introverted and withdrawn, and he would not even speak a single word to anyone else for the whole day. 5
He was often isolated by the other children because of his personality.
Charlie could still remember that Harvey, who was a little older than him, would always stand up for him and play with him whenever he was being isolated.
Over the years, the relationship between both of them
had deepened a lot.
Harvey and Charlie were of the same age, but Harvey was a few months older than Charlie.
After leaving the orphanage, both of them had chosen t o go to the construction site and work together. They endured hardships together and suffered a lot together. They became very close brothers because of that.
However, the only difference between Charlie and Harvey was that Charlie would always secretly donate all of his hard-earned money to the orphanage, whereas Harvey would save all his money for himself. When Harvey had finally saved up a decent amount of money, he had left the construction site and gone to Lancaster to start a small business, i
Charlie could understand Harvey's approach.
After all, they were all orphans. Most of them were helpless after leaving the orphanage. 2
