Chapter 368 Magical Celebration
Wonderland, Elffire City.
Sunday, December 27th.
Troves of happy children ran around the park as they had the time of their lives.
They were having so much fun that they didn't even notice the time passing, and the time for lunch arrived amidst waves of laughter and screams of happiness.
Some of the children wanted to keep having fun, but the caretakers did not take no for answer.
Therefore, a few minutes after 1 pm, everyone gathered at the food court of the park.
It was there that Sam and the others decided to have the party.
The court was filled with New Year decorations.
Beautiful azure and gold decorations made the place look magical. There were even some sea creatures decorations to give the place the last touch.
As was said before, on the Azure Star Planet, the New Year's celebrations were directly connected with the massive ocean that covered the planet.
That's why New Year's decorations usually had decorations with sea creatures from the legends.
Mermaids, giant squids, water fairies, and others.
The decorations that Sam and the others put together were top-notch and made the place look amazing.
The children had stars on their eyes as they saw the place with so many beautiful decorations.
It was their first time seeing with their own eyes such a beautiful New Year's party.
They had seen on TV the way that others commemorated New Year, and they had always wanted to be at a traditional New Year's party.
Their dreams were becoming true in front of them.
And they became even more excited when they saw the enormous amount of delicious food on the table.
While the children had excited faces, Matron Isabella and the caretakers had tears in their eyes.
They had always dreamed about throwing a traditional New Year's party for the children, but their difficult financial situation always prevented that from happening.
Everyone was gathered there with happy faces.
Matron Isabella and the caretakers.
The tens of kids and teenagers from the orphanage.
Theo, Aurora, and their friends from his companies like the restaurant, studio, and others.
Even Ryoko came to the party. She admitted to herself that she needed a day off from work, and she liked the idea of spending this day in an amusement park. Plus, she loved the idea that Theo threw such a party for the kids from the orphanage.
Umaru, Carolla, Vivian, and her sister Megan also came.
They heard from their friend Aurora that her brother would throw such a party, and they could not pass such a fun event.
They had already gone to amusement parks multiple times, but it wasn't every day that they were able to eat such good food! After all, the head chef from the best restaurant in town was cooking for this party, so they had to come. Plus, it would be fun to go on the rides with Aurora.
But existed an even more important reason for their presence. They had brought their parents to their party in hope that as they saw how responsible Theo was, they would allow the girls to go with Aurora to the Heart Islands after the new year.
That's why some middle-aged women and men stood behind the girls, they observed everything in amazement.
Their daughters studied in the best high school in the state, so it was easy to notice that they were rich people, so they were used to living in luxury.
But it was their first time seeing someone spending so much money just to make some orphan kids happy.
When they heard from their daughters that Aurora's brother was throwing a party for the children from the orphanage, they did not think much, but as they observed everything around them, they were extremely impressed with Theo's commitment and selflessness.
They had a much higher impression of Theo now.
The girls didn't even have to hype up Theo because they knew he was a perfect gentleman and that their parents would love him.
There were almost 200 people gathered at the venue when Theo suddenly drew everyone's attention.
"Before everyone attacks the dishes I want to say a few words." He chuckled.
Everyone laughed when they heard that as the delicious smell of the food was so much that made them intoxicated, especially the kids.
But the kids idolized Theo so much, that they all became quiet when he started talking.
"First of all, I want to thank my friends who helped me with my idea to throw this party. Ayia, June, Shizuka, Sam, and Sayuri were the ones organizing most of the things because this last week I was super busy with work. They had much more credit on this than me." He said with a smile as he looked at the girls.
Ayia and the girls became a little shy when they saw the eyes filled with admiration of the children.
"I also want to thank my friends from the restaurant and others who promptly came to help us on their day off. You guys rock!" Theo laughed which made everyone laugh.
"Lastly, I also want to thank Matron Isabella for her trust in us. Matron? Do you want to say something?" Theo asked as he looked at the old lady.
"I do." She replied with a gentle smile on her face.
She looked at the little faces filled with happiness looking at her and smiled as she said, "The last few months have been a dream coming true for us at the orphanage."
"Ever since Theo-chan and Ayia-chan started helping us our living conditions became so much better. I could finally put a smile on your little faces."
"There is nothing more that makes me happier than seeing you, children, being happy. I see you all as my children. Even you Theo and Ayia."
"I just hope that when you guys grow old, you don't forget this old lady." She laughed heartily.
The children had tears in their eyes as they heard Matron's words.
"Mother Isabella!!" The kids shouted as they ran towards her and hugged the old lady.
"Oh my!" She exclaimed in happiness as the kids hugged her.
Everyone was a little emotional as they watched the scene.
Theo and Aurora hugged happily as they observed the scene.
Among the observers, they were the people who understood the feeling that the children were feeling.
The two of them were orphans and only had each other as a family. Aurora was even adopted from an orphanage too. While Theo spent all his past life in an orphanage too.
The two of them had each other now, but some time before they were just like these children having the matron as their sole emotional support.
Theo could not help but remember the matron from his past life as he watched the scene.
The love they felt for the children was the same.
That's why he had tears in his eyes as he watched the scene too.
