Me And The Rich Man's

Chapter 15's

That afternoon several cafe employees were gathered in front of a table to try a boy who had just been caught stealing. One by one, they asked and demanded an answer.

Sky trembled in front of the five cafe employees consisting of two men and three women who had been staring at him cynically since then. His fingers squeezed each other behind his back.

"Look, his face was very innocent but it turned out to be a thief!" say one of them.

"Hey little boy, who told you to steal here?"

"Try checking his body, lest he's done stealing something else."

"Come, let's report it to the police. The thief, his place in prison. He also stole a lot in my mother's shop" Eliya added.

Sky was already on the verge of tears hearing that terrifying threat. Since then he just lowered his gaze, without daring to look at them.

"What's this?" The heavy sound of a man creates a silent atmosphere for a few seconds, which makes Sky even more frightened. Evan had just arrived after a long day in the hospital.

"Sir, this little boy was caught stealing bread" replied a male employee.

"Discovered stealing?" asked Evan with furrowed brows. His eyes seemed to demand to be answered immediately.

"Yes, Sir. We found a few pieces of bread in his pocket" he replied pointing to some pieces of bread on the table that Sky had put in his jacket pocket.

Evan turned his gaze to the boy who was looking down in fear, so that he could not see his face clearly.

"You can go back to work. Let me talk to this kid."

"Good, Sir."

The men and women dispersed and returned to their respective places. Evan squatted down in front of Sky who was sitting in a chair.

"What's your name, son!"

Silent!

Sky kept his head down and did not dare to answer. His body was trembling. Sweat began to wash his forehead.

"And why are you stealing? Are you feeling hungry?"

Sky's tears started to drip. Only sobs could be heard there.

"Don't cry, it's okay. You can ask for whatever menu you like. But can't steal ya, better ask."

Sky wiped his tears. But he did not dare to raise his head.

"My sister is sick and wants to eat bread from this cafe. But mommy doesn't have the money to buy it."

"Did your mommy tell you to steal?"

"No! If mommy finds out I stole, I'll be locked up all night in a filthy warehouse without having dinner."

"Your mom is sadistic too. Oh, yes ... May I know what your mommy's name is?"

Sky silenced without daring to mention his mommy name. If he mentioned Hanna's name, maybe they'll report it to the police. So mind content plain Sky.

"Who's your mommy's name?" Evan repeated the same question.

"Ha-Hanna Ca-bre-ra," Sky's great-granddaughter was full of fear.

The deg!

The deg!

The deg!

The same Eid repeated as when meeting Star. Evan was stunned to the point of not being able to say a word. The first time he looked at Sky's face, Evan was like a mirror in his childhood.

This is impossible! I must be wrong! This is absolutely impossible!

Instantly clear liquid bathed his eyeballs. How can this kid be as similar as him?

Evan began to surmise in his heart, although he did not dare to conclude. He examined Sky's body and looked at his pity to the point of wanting to cry. His hands trembled caressing that tiny face.

"You're Star's brother?"

That instant also sobs Sky stopped. He dared to look at the manic bead in front of him. "Yes, Uncle."

"Your sister is sick?" Suddenly a sense of worry began to spread in Evan's heart.

"Yes. Star said she wanted to eat the bread in the cafe. I told you that the brothers wanted to meet the cafe owner's uncle to ask for his bread. But they didn't believe me and kicked me out. So I secretly took it. I'm sorry, Uncle!"

That innocent speech seemed to encourage Evan to embrace her. Thinking of Sky willing to steal for the sake of his sister really made his heart feel like it was slashed.

"It's okay, son. I will scold those who have dared to be rude to you. Just show me which one it is."

Sky also glanced at some cafe employees who had scolded him, but did not immediately complain to the good-natured uncle.

"Uncle, can I have some bread for my sister?"

"Of course you can, son. You can even bring home all the bread in this cafe if you want."

"I'll just ask for one for my brother, Uncle."

With tears in her eyes, Evan hugged her tightly. Some employees looked in wonder. Until a few moments passed ....

"May I ask you something?" asked Evan to take off a hug.

Sky nodded his head.

"Do you know where your daddy is?"

"No idea," the boy replied innocently with a headband.

"Why not know?" evan asked increasingly.

"I've eavesdropped on mommy's conversation with Grandma Laura ... Mommy said, daddy is a very rich man and has a lot of money. But daddy won't want us because he hates mommy so much."

Evan took a deep breath to meet the needs of air in his lung cavity. Thinking of how miserable Hanna and the twins' lives were made her chest feel tight.

And what if the ridiculous conjecture that had been seeped into his mind turned out to be true?
