Chapter 15 Congratulations, Chloe–You Have a Home
The livestream chat exploded.
“Holy crap, that kid’s got insane strength!”
“Chloe’s under my protection!” Abbb! This is such a tragic and beautiful story! It’s like watching a live–action novel unfold right in front of me. Aren’t they basically the childhood leads of a romance?
“I can’t believe I find a little boy attractive! I’m in Maybe I should take better care of myself. I am willing to wait a few years!”
“Same! I’ll wait for you!”
“Haha, ladies, hold your horses; he’s still just a kid!”
“He belongs to Chloe Hands off, everyone!”
The trending page lit up again with a brand–new tag: “Chloe’s Under My Protection!”
The video showed Merrick, full of righteous fury, calling in a gang of backup boys and pelting the streamers with whatever they could grab..
“Hahaha, is this not the perfect satisfying twist? I can’t believe I got a happy ending scene out of a bunch of little kids!”
“What is this? A romantic love story? I’m losing it. Will I actually live to see these two become a real couple?”
“He’s so brave! His body didn’t even shake; his eyes were sharp and fearless, like a wild spark. Amazing!”
“I’m jealous of a little girl right now, what is happening to me?
“This is everything! Chloe’s had a hard life, but she’s incredible. She’s brave, she stands up for herself, and she’s got a boy by her side who’s willing to fight for her!”
“Go, little prince! Protect your future wife well!TM
More and more people flooded into the livestream, all of them gushing about Chloe and Merrick
Andres had been quietly watching from the corner the entire time.
He watched Merrick, like a little wolf pup, fiercely guarding his daughter. His eyes narrowed slightly. He wanted to step forward, but held back
With the stream still running, it wasn’t the right time to reveal himself.
He gave the director of the orphanage a look.
The head of the orphanage pushed open the door and entered loudly. “Enought I just received the news–Chloe’s family is already on the way. They’re coming to take her home, so I need all of you to leave immediately before I have to call the police!”
The streamers‘ faces dropped. This wasn’t the outcome they had expected.
But the chat cheered wildly.
“Yes!”
“Even more satisfying, damn it!”
“Haha, this is the best thing ever!
“Get the heck out already!”
The streamers all scowled in disgust, muttering under their breathi
“What a juke Like we even wanted to adopt her. What a bunch of pretenders.”

Chapter 15 Congratulations, Chloe–You Have a Homer
Finished
An orphan trying to raise her own price tag One by one, they left–though not without shooting Chloe bitter looks on the way
Merrick held her hand tight as he watched them go.
Once they were gone, the room instantly quieted. It went from a chaotic market to a calm, peaceful classroom in a matter of
seconds.
Chloe let out a breath of relief and looked gratefully at the orphanage director. “Thank you for helping me.”
The director gave a short laugh. “Why thank me? I wasn’t lying. Your family really is here to take you home”
She froze. Merrick froze too. “Who’s the family?”
Andres answered, “Me.”
The moment she heard that familiar voice, Chloe’s heart skipped a beat. She turned toward the sound.
Andres walked in with long strides, wrapped in a commanding aura, flanked by his three sons.
His perfectly tailored suit clashed with the worn surroundings of the orphanage, and his sharp eyes landed directly on her, as if they could see straight through her chest,
“Chloe, I know your biological uncle–your mother’s brother. He’ll be taking you home.”
He paused, then said,
“From now on, you have a family”
