Adoption

"Where was Nathan so long?" Kevin's chirps in the middle of their little chat. He seems curious about the departure of Nathan who said to urinate but has 30 minutes not yet returned.

"Either... Maybe he pooped there too. You know that the man ate a lot and it must have taken a long time to get him out!" Robby laughed as he patted Harry on the shoulder.

But after saying that Robby immediately got a stone throw from Emilia who did not accept and was annoyed by the words of the man.

Robby who was thrown a stone and got a sharp gaze from Emilia could only laugh awkwardly and then take her eyes off the beautiful woman.

On the other hand Emilia seems to be quite worried about Nathan's departure after half an hour.

'Where are you going, Nathan?' Emilia's mind was worried as she stared at the trees where Nathan was last seen.

But not long after, Nathan's nose was finally seen as well. But this time came not alone but with a little girl who was carrying in the back.

"Who's that little girl you brought?" Emilia asked with a probing look as she watched Nathan return while holding a little girl.

Not only did Emilia feel curious and suspicious of Nathan, but everyone there seemed to have the same thoughts.

"Hey Nathan, did you kidnap the little girl and want to..." Kevin asked but he had not finished asking Nathan directly cut it.

Nathan grumbled in annoyance and shook his head when he saw that everyone there was suspicious of him. "Of course not stupid! I happened to see this kid wanted to be harassed by two Japanese soldiers by the river and I just helped him..."

Seeing Nathan's irritated look on his face and realizing that they misunderstood him, Harry, Robby, Kevin, Amanda, and Emilia could only laugh awkwardly without daring to look at the man.

Nathan then takes Liu Yifei down, but it seems that the little girl is still scared when she sees the people there and can only hide behind Nathan.

Looking at the little girl who seemed to be still frightened, Emilia then approached towards him and extended her hand. "What's your name little girl?"

Liu Yifei, who saw a beautiful woman smiling as he reached out to her, was even more afraid and clasped Nathan's clothes tightly.

Knowing what the little girl was thinking, Emilia took out a packet of candy.

"I'm Emilia, what's your name?" Emilia asked with a smile and extended a packet of candy to the little girl.

From Emilia's giraffe that Liu Yifei saw was similar to Nathan's earlier, although it was language-restrained that he finally understood and accepted the candy Emilia had given him.

"Yife... Liu Yifei's..." Said Liu Yifei timidly while still hiding behind Nathan.

Hearing the little girl's name and speech, Emilia immediately understood that Liu Yifei was not from this country but from China.

"Looks like little girls don't come from here. Aren't we?" Emilia asked Nathan who was rubbing Liu Yifei's head.

"Yes, this girl seems to have been kidnapped..." Nathan's reply.

"What do you want with that little girl?" Robby asked while looking at the little girl in shabby and torn clothes.

"If I may, I can take care of him!" Amanda with enthusiasm that makes Kevin amazed while looking at his wife.

Emilia quickly carried Liu Yifei into her arms, and the little girl's face was immediately greeted by Emilia's soft melon.

Amanda who knew that she would not win could only snort in annoyance, while Kevin seemed relieved.

On the other hand Nathan who got a sharp look from Emilia could only nod and think that there was no harm in adopting Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei, who was in Emilia's arms, seemed to start to feel comfortable and slowly began to fall asleep while hugging the woman's body.

Looking at the sleeping Liu Yifei, Emilia smiled and revealed the hair covering Liu Yifei's face. Although it looks dirty because it does not take a bath for some time, but Emilia can see that the little girl has a beautiful face.

Nathan who saw Emilia was happy to just be able to smile thinly while wiping his gun with a cloth.

Harry, who saw Nathan sitting alone, approached and sat down next to him. "Are you sure you're adopting a child whose origins aren't clear?"

Nathan chuckled and shook his head. "As long as it makes Emilia happy no problem. Besides, I feel sorry for that little girl who doesn't seem to have any parents..."

Hearing Nathan's words immediately made Harry nod in understanding. But he was immediately astonished when he saw Nathan's strange facial expression.

"Are you thinking of someone, are those your parents? If you can figure out what your life is like in the future?" Harry asked who felt Nathan needed a friend to talk to at this time.

For the umpteenth time Nathan smiled thinly and glanced at Harry before returning to focus on seeing the gun he was raking.

"What's wrong with you, don't look at me like that because it's so disgusting. I'm fine..." Nathan's reply.

"Damn it..." Decih Harry annoyedly turned his face away from Nathan. But secretly he looked at Nathan and knew that the man was just trying to keep quiet.

Harry knew what Nathan was thinking. He thinks Nathan has a problem or bad memory with his parents and makes the man unwilling to tell a story.

"Will you name your son and Julia later, Harry?" Nathan asked as the atmosphere became quiet.

For a moment Harry seemed to think hard before the look of his face turned into despair. "I don't know, after all it's still a long time and we haven't been looking for a name..."

"That's it..." Nathan said flatly which made the corner of Harry's lips twitch.

"Then what about you and Emilia, have you already decided on a name for your child?" Ask Harry.

Hearing Harry's question clearly made Nathan feel astonished because Emilia had not said anything to him.

"uh? What do you mean. Clearly Emilia is not pregnant..." Nathan's reply.

"That's it..." Harry said flatly as if imitating Nathan earlier.

Realizing that Harry only wanted to return the favor, Nathan shook his head and felt that the man next to him was still like a child, but in a few months he would become a parent.

Nathan then rested his body on a tree and closed his eyes to sleep while waiting 2 am to carry out their plan.

Seeing Nathan sleeping Harry then walked away and visited his other colleagues because they did not want to disturb the man.
