Chapter 263: She Called Him…Father

Outside the cafe, Adeline stood. She was looking out for Mr. Sokolov who had told her to wait. 

Drawing a deep breath, she turned around, only for her eyes to fall on the old man who was approaching her. 

Unlike his usual suit attire, he was in a simple outfit, consisting of a well iron ash pants and a sweater. 

It was sort of cold outside. 

His dark hair with a few grays in it was brushed back in neat waves. 

"I'm glad you came." He smiled at her.  

Adeline fluttered her eyes, suddenly realized that she'd taken after his smile. how did she never notice until now? 

"Where are we going?" She asked. 

Mr. Sokolov didn't say a word, but instead grabbed her hand protectively. 

Adeline was a bit startled. She wanted to snatch her hand back, but seeing as the man gave her a warm hug, she didn't protest but followed him.
