Chapter 210 The Real Mayor Of Machia Ii
- - We thought about this hypothesis – I confessed, looking at Killian – But we realized that we already give them everything we can. But they want more than sharing attention or even our love... Because they've done this their whole lives... They've shared a bed, food, house, bathroom, toys... They have the right to live with families who dedicate themselves exclusively to them. We have a thousand residents in Machia... And 28 children in the orphanage... There were 29, but I tried to adopt one... But our mayor chose the same child... – I smiled, disdainfully – Yes, she never cared if the children ate or had a roof to protect them from the rain... But she decided to apply for Alegra's adoption after she found out that I wanted the girl – I sighed – Anyway, I can't do anything but demand that Nicolle take care of my girl the way I would. I already called her daughter – I felt tears running down my face, even though I didn't want to get emotional at that point, although I knew that talking about Alegra always made me completely sensitive and vulnerable – Yes, the woman who didn't go to visit her son in jail and is proud of it wants to take care of a little girl of almost ten years old who loves me and everything she wants... – I couldn't finish, afraid of screaming with so much pain and anger.
- - All Alegra dreams of is being called Alegra Dave de Alcântara. – Killian finished for me – And... – he stopped for a moment, thoughtful – When I asked you to help me with the orphanage's roof, which was in terrible condition, you told me you had other priorities... Like buying a new police car...
- - Maybe the back seat in the old one wasn't comfortable enough – My voice became weak and my lips trembled with anger.
