Alice has always been curious about a little boy who appeared every night in her restaurant.
Was not like the usual crowd; While most people came to food and remained happy, this young boy, Christopher, has always left with the bags of the remains. It wasn’t just a one-time thing-he got every night without failure, and gathered any food that the restaurant had to save.
Alice often wondered where he took it all, and why he seemed to have never eaten anything in the restaurant. Something about his routine felt, and Alice couldn’t shake the feeling that his story was more than he met with his eye.
One evening, after she saw him leaving with a big bag of food, she decided to follow him, determined to reveal the truth to his secret behavior. What she found out would change everything.
Alice has always noticed a young boy named Christopher, who comes to her restaurant every day to collect the remains. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that there were more of the story, so one day she decided to follow him.
What she found out was what she could have imagined.
“You are lucky today, boy. We have a lot of remnants and you can take as much as you want,” said Steve, chef at Alice restaurant, and gave Christopher several food packages.
“Wow, is it really so much food? I have enough to share with my friends? ” Christopher asked eagerly and his face turned on.
“Of course, take it all,” Steve smiled.
Christopher was excited, thanked Steve and left the restaurant with a big smile. But Alice still did not know that it was a regular arrangement in her restaurant. She didn’t think the boy would rely on the remnants to fill the stomach.
Curious, she waited and watched for a few more days until she saw Christopher on the third day. “Hey, are you here for the remnants today?” She asked gently.
“Yes!” Christopher replied cheerfully. “Can you inform the chef? Put me food. ”
Alice smiled warmly at him.
“It’s not needed,” she said. “Today I made you fresh food, so you don’t have to eat the remnants. By the way, what are you named? ”
“Well, my full name is Christopher, but you can just call me Chris,” he said.
Alice continued, “Why don’t you eat at home, Chris? Is your mom sick? ”
Chris hesitated. “Actually … I live in an orphanage. Don’t cheer me very well. But whenever I come here, your staff help me and I’m really grateful for it. ” He turned quickly and left.
Alice’s instincts told her that Chris wasn’t completely honest, so she decided to follow him that day. What she saw was nothing like what she expected.
Instead of going to the orphanage, Chris went to the house. Put food on the porch and escaped. An older woman appeared, looked around, then raised her food and returned in.
Alice was about to knock on the door to learn more about this woman and her connection with Chris when she got an urgent call from the restaurant and had to leave. The next day, when Chris returned, Alice waited for him.
“I’m sorry, I lied to you,” Chris admitted immediately. “I took food for my grandmother. It’s the only family I have left. ”
Chris explained: “When my parents died, my grandmother couldn’t get into custody because she fought financially. She can’t afford food, so I come here every day to get food for her. ”
Alice touched his story and decided to meet Chris’s grandmother Edith. When Edith realized that her grandson had secretly brought food to her, she was amazed by emotions.
On the same day, Alice visited the orphanage and asked for the custody of Chris. This process was fast and soon Chris was able to live again with his grandmother.
Edith grabbed Alice’s hands, tears in her eyes. “I can never thank you enough, but you are welcome if you visit us at any time. You’re like a family now. ”
Alice smiled and replied, “In that case I have something for you.”
Edith expected Alice to offer her a restaurant position, but Alice’s words were a complete surprise. “Since I lost my parents, I have been without a family,” Alice explained. “I’m looking for someone to take care of me as a mother. I hope you can accept this role. When it comes to Chris’s education, I will rewrite responsibility. ”
Edith hugged Alice firmly. “Of course, gold,” she said, her voice full of emotions. “I can never pay you, but you came to our lives like an angel.”
Alice smiled warmly. “You don’t have to thank me,” she said. “Now I have a family, thanks. And this is the greatest wealth I could ever ask. ”
Finally, the decision to follow Christopher revealed a deep and moving story of love and victim. What began as a simple curiosity of the boy’s routine has turned into a deep connection that changed all their lives. Alice by offering them help to Chris and his grandmother, not only gave them a feeling of hope, but also gained the family she wanted.
Through the actions of kindness and understanding, everyone found a sense of belonging and unconditional love that would keep them in difficult times. Their bond proves that sometimes the greatest wealth is not material, but the love and family we decide to create.
