Chapter: 362
This notion left Jonathan speechless, his eyes clouding over.
He feared he might never have a child, whether son or daughter, unwilling to bring a child into a loveless family.
When he reached the supermarket, he grabbed various candies from the shelves, caramels, lollipops, and more. Having never looked after a child before, he was uncertain about her preferences. Certainly, one dollar wouldn't suffice.
Upon settling the bill, he headed back with a bulging bag of candies.
He envisioned the joy on the girl's face when she spotted them. Her eyes, so familiar to him, would surely light up with happiness.
However, upon his return to the hotel, she was nowhere to be seen.
Hurrying inside, he scanned the area in vain.
He speculated that her mother had likely found her and taken her away. He hadn't even managed to give her the candies. Did this mean he owed her one dollar?
After a brief pause, he approached the hotel's front desk and inquired, “Excuse me, could you tell me which room belongs to the little girl by the gate?"
The receptionist was taken aback when she heard the voice and glanced up to meet his gaze. His strikingly handsome face left her speechless.
He truly resembled a star. In fact, he was more handsome than any star she had seen. His face was flawless.
After a prolonged pause, the receptionist finally regained composure.
“Excuse me, sir, are you acquainted with her?"
"Hmm. I'm afraid not." He hadn't even caught her name yet.
"I'm sorry, but we cannot disclose guest information."
Jonathan, upon hearing that, grasped the candies tightly in his hand.
"These are just for her."
"Alright, I'll ring up the room to check. Can you hold on for a moment?"
“Sure.”
As the receptionist dialed the little girl's room, Jonathan stood by.
His gaze suddenly fell upon the number displayed on the phone before him, it was 908.
That must be the little girl's room number.
It looked like the hotel's management had slipped up with customer privacy since room numbers were so easily accessible.
But Jonathan had no intention of visiting her room so late. He just wanted to get the room number and drop off the candies the next day.
