Lovely Substitute Bride novel Chapter 48

Nathan placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm very familiar with the Columbia University. If you have any difficulties, you can tell me directly."

Tiana couldn't help but laugh along with him.

"I don't have any difficulties. The school is pretty good too."

"Sure, if there's a problem, you have to tell me. I still have some work to do, so I can't send you back. "

"It's alright, Tomas will come and pick me up."

Nathan nodded, and led the group of people to turn around and leave.

Tiana looked at his back.

Nathan was completely different from Conor. The feeling he gave others was warm and gentle, with many people willing to follow by his side.

"Senior Nathan is truly amazing. I heard that he just graduated and entered the Johnson. He still has a big project on hand!"

"Yeah, that area in the suburbs already has already been said to be developed. If Johnson Family and the Kaal Family cooperate, it would definitely be completed very soon. My dad said two days ago that he wanted to take a look."

When Tiana heard this, she turned her head in shock and grabbed the person who spoke just now.

"What did you just say? Where is the area to be developed?"

The other party was given a fright.

"Johnson Family and Kaal Family cooperate ... Don't you know? "

Tiana shook her head and asked anxiously: "Is there an orphanage?"

"I think so..."

Tiana's expression changed.

"Impossible, he clearly promised me ..."

She turned pale and ran out.

Johnson Family's car was parked by the door, and Tomas was standing upright at the side.

Tiana turned and dodged to the side, then ran towards the direction of the orphanage.

The Sunshine Orphanage was located in the western suburbs. Half a month ago, this place started to be demolished.

The surrounding buildings had all been leveled, leaving behind only dirt and ruins.

In the middle of the ruins, there was an old, two-story house.

On the wall by the door hung a sign, with three words written on it Sunshine Orphanage.

The door was tightly shut. A gust of wind blew past, blowing up a cloud of dust and bringing about a desolate aura.

Tiana walked over and knocked on the door, after a while, the door quietly opened a crack.

A small face popped out.

When she saw Tiana outside, her eyes immediately lit up!

"Elder Sister Tiana!"

She immediately opened the door, pounced forward, and directly hugged onto Tiana's thigh.

Tiana lifted her up and saw that there were a few locks on the back of the door.

"Poppy, what's going on here? Why is the door locked?"

"It's what Auntie Wendy said. We can't let bad people in."

Tiana frowned.

This land was in Auntie Wendy's name. When Tiana first arrived, this place was not an orphanage.

In the beginning, Auntie Wendy only adopted a few homeless orphans, but more and more people came here, so she applied for this private orphanage.

A while ago, Kaal Family wanted to establish a high-end villa in this area and bought the nearby land. Only Auntie Wendy was not willing to leave.

Simon Kaal then had people secretly steal the orphanage's property certificate and land use certificate.

When Tiana left the orphanage, Auntie Wendy was blaming herself, worrying about the whereabouts of these orphans.

But Simon had clearly promised her that as long as she could take Yuki Kaal's place in the Johnson Family, he would not touch the orphanage!

Poppy hugged Tiana's neck innocently.

"Sister, they said I can't live here anymore, right?"

Tiana touched her red face.

"No, I'm here."

When she entered the dean's office, Auntie Wendy was working at a desk, wearing a pair of reading glasses. Her movements were slow but very serious.

"Auntie Wendy."

The dean looked up.

Especially the enchanting look in his eyes, which made his every move full of elegance.

Tiana had seen this face countless of times in magazines and posters.

Harry?

Tiana was slightly stunned. Everyone knew that Harry was an orphan.

However, only Tiana knew that Harry had been in the Sunshine Orphanage for a period of time.

She withdrew her gaze.

"Follow this road to the end, turn left, and that will be it."

"Thank you. I haven't been here in a long time."

After saying that, Harry did not leave, but looked at Tiana.

"Did we know each other before?"

Tiana immediately shook her head and avoided his gaze.

"No, you might be mistaken."

She did not wait for him to ask any further questions. She hurriedly walked forward.

Harry looked at Tiana's back figure, stared for a moment, then opened her phone and took out a photo.

In the photo, a boy and a girl were standing in front of the camera with bright smiles on their faces.

There was a mole on the right eye of the boy and his smile was warm. The girl looked somewhat similar to Tiana.

With a rumble, thunder rumbled through the sky.

In just a few minutes, the sky was overcast and a torrential downpour fell.

Tiana stood under the sign of the bus station as the rain poured down from the roof in torrents.

It was getting dark quickly. As soon as the rain began to fall, the street lamps lit up.

The rain covered the entire city with a veil, like an elegant and sad girl.

It was getting late, but the rain did not stop.

She had lost her phone a long time ago, and even when she arrived at Johnson Family, she didn't buy a new one. So, it was impossible for her to contact with the Tomas right now.

At that moment, a black car drove over from the distance and slowly stopped in front of the bus stop.
