Eternal Temptation: Awakening Sinful Desires

Chapter 23: Visiting Orphanage (EDITED)

Asher walked around the area, holding Nadia's waist, all the while being observed by many people.

Soon, he arrived at the market area, and many shops of different varieties lined up along the road as he strolled, looking around.

She was surprised to see him shopping, as he bought so many daily necessities and lots of toys and dolls.

However, he still had yet to tell her their destination, so she followed him, making no sound.

After buying numerous things, he stopped and asked, "Nadia, bring the car here."

Nadia complied with his instruction and brought the black sports car nearby, and they loaded their purchases inside the car trunk.

Right after that, the black sports car cruised through the streets of Capital City as Asher guided her to their next destination.

Asher then directed her towards the outside of the city, and soon they arrived at a large but very well-maintained manor, with the surrounding area being filled with a small playground and a few trees.

After she parked the black sports car outside the gate and both of them got out of the car, he told her, "Nadia, let's go inside."

"Young Master, why are we here?" She questioned him because she was just curious to understand the purpose of his behavior.

He replied, "Nadia, we are here to visit this orphanage."

When she saw the small nameplate before the manor's gate, she raised her eyebrows. "Why an orphanage?"

Asher smiled in a cold manner, seeing her reaction. "Let's go in now, and you will find out later."

She looked surprised at hearing his response but didn't ask any further.

Soon, he led her inside the orphanage, as they were being stared at by many orphans who were curious about their arrival.

Upon entering the manor, Asher started observing the surrounding area and began feeling nostalgic since he grew up in this orphanage in his previous life. In his eyes, the orphanage was his other home, and every kid in the orphanage was his family.

Soon, he walked towards the small desk just after entering the manor, and Nadia followed him from behind.

Arriving at the desk, they noticed a middle-aged woman sitting on a chair and working on documents.

The middle-aged woman looked up from her documents and asked in surprise, "Hello, do you have any business here?"

Hearing that, Nadia introduced him to the middle-aged woman and said without wasting even a second, "Hello, lady, this is Asher Blake, the Young Master of the Blake Family."

The middle-aged woman stood up; she was nervous after hearing his introduction, and she greeted Asher with respect, "Greetings, Young Master."

"You don't have to be so formal; I came here just to check out the orphanage and provide something for kids, so relax." He smiled in a gentle manner as he reassured the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman became uneasy and asked, "What? How come Young Master came in person to visit this orphanage?"

Asher replied, "It's just a casual visit, as I want to give donations to this orphanage."

Besides him, Nadia was a bit taken aback, but understood the purpose of shopping for toys.

The middle-aged woman was surprised to hear that Asher had visited just for a casual visit. Still, she was relieved since she had heard rumors about Blake Family members being arrogant and tyrannical, so she didn't expect him to be so polite and visit the orphanage for donations.

"Young Master, If you came for a visit, then feel free to look around. Soon, I will bring the kids to you." The middle-aged woman said it with respect.

He replied with a smile, "Sure." Then he started exploring around the manor, with Nadia following along and hugging his arm.

As they walked, Asher looked at one place and told her something, too. She looked in a specific place following her Young Master's words, and after observing the area for a while, she frowned.

Asher held her close and shook his head, advising through this gesture to do nothing. He told her something, and she completed the task right away.

A short while later, they were in the front yard. There were already many children gathered, playing around. He looked at them with a smile on his face.

Asher noticed a few caretakers who had also gathered and said to them, "There is something I need you to take out from my car trunk."

The caretakers were meticulous since they knew Asher's identity and wanted to ensure he had no issues during his visit.

Soon after that, they bowed and said, "Ok, young master."

They soon returned with many toys, gifts, and snacks.

All the orphans' eyes shone like bright stars when they saw them.

Witnessing Asher bring toys and daily necessities, the middle-aged woman became grateful and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master."

Asher stated in a calm voice, "Lady, don't worry; from now on, I will continue to donate enough money to operate this orphanage for several years."

Asher was happy to be able to support this place. In his previous life, he always used his little savings for kids in this orphanage the same way. Although he didn't earn money in this life, he was sure Aria would always give him any amount he needed without any issues.

Then Asher took out many toys and distributed them among the children; he was quite happy.

Nadia was surprised at this, but she also distributed things to kids with a smile plastered on her face.

Everyone was happy to receive gifts and snacks.

As he gave the children toys, a sweet little five-year-old girl came forward, she was shy.

Asher smiled at the cute girl and soon took out the biggest teddy and gave it to her.

The little girl shied, looking at Asher smiling at her, then she received the teddy and hugged it. She was super happy to get the most significant gift.

Asher then rubbed her tiny head. "Hello, little angel. What is your name?"

The little girl giggled as Asher caressed her tiny head. She answered in a soft tone, "My name is Lily."

Asher smiled at the little girl. "Lily, what a cute name you have."

The little girl laughed like an adorable kid upon hearing Asher praise her.

Asher patted her tiny head. "Lily, Be a good girl, and I will for sure bring more toys for you."

"I am always a good girl, Big Brother." Lily replied in a sweet voice, then continued, "Carry me, Big Brother!" Lily stretched out both hands to Asher.

Asher smiled and held her in his arms as Lily hugged his neck and placed her head on his shoulder.

Seeing Lily acting spoiled towards Asher, Nadia smiled a little.

She found him to be cuter than usual when Nadia looked at Asher giving the largest teddy to a small girl and becoming close to her.

After distributing stuff to kids, Asher talked with a middle-aged woman named Eleanor Gracefield about donations and other stuff with Lily still in his arms when he noticed someone.

A lanky man was headed towards them, covered in sweat, and his appearance looked messy and unkempt.

Eleanor frowned, seeing the lanky man coming in a hurry.

Asher recognized the lanky man right away, and his face changed a bit. His eyes turned colder than ever as he looked at the lanky man.

Eleanor looked at Asher and introduced the lanky man to him. "Young master, this is the head caretaker, Mr. Oswald Blackthorn. He is in charge of this orphanage."

Oswald arrived in front of Asher with a fawning smile and greeted him with respect, "Young Master Asher, welcome to the orphanage."

Asher stared at Oswald with a cold gaze, remaining silent, and was unwilling to say anything.
