She felt it strongly.
The orphanage nanny, Grace Mitchell, saw Laura doodling on a greeting card and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Looks like you really want to find your dad, Lala.”
Laura used her worn–out crayons to draw, nodding emphatically. “Yeah! I like my dad! That man. must be my dad! He’s so tall and handsome!”

Chapter 7
Engrossed in his book, the young boy who was sitting across her glanced up at her.
Grace planted a kiss on her cheek and said, “Laura, you’ll have a better life ahead. Once the paternity test results are out, you can have a new home.”
Any home would surely be better than her own mother, the murderer.
Grace got up and left to attend to other children, while Laura continued to obediently draw.
Suddenly, a chilly voice sounded from across. “They won’t want you.”
Laura paused and looked up in confusion.
She saw a young boy with excellent features, despite being only ten years old. He was slightly taller than his peers and already exhibited the potential for future handsomeness.
With one leg propped up and holding a storybook about Cinderella, his narrow eyes were cold. “Don’t hold onto hope.”
She pouted. “No. My dad will definitely come to pick me up. Don’t make fun of me.”
Zayn Graham arrived at the orphanage two years ago.
Rumors had it that he was the illegitimate child of some big wig. His mother had passed away due to illness, and since the big wig didn’t acknowledge him, he was left in the orphanage.
Zayn was fierce and could fight. When he arrived, no one dared to speak to him. He was like a ferocious lion, ready to bite anyone who came near.
She used to get bullied in the orphanage because she was cute. Whenever Zayn saw her being mistreated, he would step in and fight on her behalf, teaching her to stand up for herself. He protected her too.
In the entire orphanage, Zayn was only close to her.
When Grace couldn’t handle Zayn, Laura would help relay messages. He would listen impatiently only when Laura was involved.
Everyone teased her as a “Boss” pet.
On the day she was taken away by her mother, Zayn didn’t appear. However, when she returned to the orphanage seven days ago, Zayn was the first to greet her.
She liked staying indoors and didn’t enjoy playing outside.
Zayn used to prefer playing outside, but for these past seven days, he had been keeping her company, reading fairytales, and ridiculing the irrationality of princesses in those stories.
