A single mother pretends to be broke so she can find a good-hearted father figure for her daughter, testing suitors by hiding her true circumstances. Most men walk away once they think she has nothing—but a humble deliveryman stays, and their unlikely bond grows into something real.
All these years, every man who brought me gifts or tried to win me over always wanted something from me. Uncle Noah was the only one who never asked me for anything. I thought he would be different.
Men really can't be trusted. They love you when you have money, then disappear the moment you lose it. Forget them, Lily. Come on, let's go home.
She took my hand and started walking away. But the moment we stepped out of the hallway we saw uncle Noah coming towards us with his arms full of shopping bags We ran right into him mom clearly hadn't expected him to come back and for a moment She didn't know the bags in his hands. What's all this? I picked up a few things downstairs
I live alone. So my place is pretty bare I figured you might need them mom glanced inside the bags and saw that they were all everyday essentials her cheeks slowly grew warm You really didn't have to do this. You don't have to thank me. You're going through a rough patch of course I'm going to help Noah unlock the door it's cold out here come inside
and warm up he ushered us in uncle no he's place wasn't big but it was clean and tidy I was about to drop onto the couch when uncle Noah suddenly stopped wait Lily don't sit down yet I immediately straightened up mom's expression changed too was he going to complain about our worn-out clothes
getting his couch dirty what do you mean I picked up some clothes for Lily while I was out he pulled two outfits from one of the bags go try these on Lily I I wasn't sure what size you wear, so I hope they fit. If they don't, I'll run back and exchange them.
My eyes lit up when I saw the clothes. Wow, bunnies, they are my favorite.
