The next day, he was outside an orphanage with Livia sitting beside him.

She looked at him and asked incredulously:

"Why do you want to volunteer in this orphanage?"

Now that Titan Crest Entertainment’s matter was over, she wanted him to take some endorsement deals. They were offering him exorbitant amounts, and he still wasn’t taking any offers.

Instead, he suddenly asked her to go and talk to the orphanage about him volunteering today.

She could also see some NGO vans stationed outside, probably for the same reason, as today was Sunday.

Many people volunteered on Sundays to help orphan children and orphanages in their areas, joining such NGOs for convenience.

But why was Aren interested in doing such a thing?

And more importantly, why this orphanage?

This orphanage was in D province, very far away from Aren’s mansion.

If he wanted to volunteer in orphanages, why not do it in one of the orphanages in his area?

Why the need to come to such a remote place?

At this moment, Livia had a sudden thought as she immediately blurted out in horror.

"Don’t tell me you have a child you sent to this orphanage, hiding their existence for your career."

Even Aren was shocked by her wild imagination as he laughed.

"Hahaha. Of course not. I just want to volunteer here, so can you get moving?"

Livia sighed and went to talk with the orphanage lady and NGO people.

After a short while, Livia returned with a smile, entering the car and stating, "They’ve agreed. They are even excited to let you meet the children. Even the NGO people are your fans. You can come now."

Aren gave a satisfied smile and exited the car, entering the orphanage under the welcoming and reverent gazes of the orphanage staff and NGO people.

"He is so handsome. Even his pictures don’t do justice to that face."

"Woah... is this the so-called celebrity aura? I can’t take my eyes off of him."

"He is so tall. I wish I had a husband like him."

Under those murmurs, the orphanage lady, a woman in her fifties with a round belly, approached Aren with a smile.

"Welcome Mr. Aren. Your manager told us you want to volunteer at our orphanage and help children make some fond memories. We are truly grateful to kind people such as yourself. Please follow me; I’ll take you to meet the children."

Usually, when celebrities go to orphanages, they donate some amount to the orphanage. The orphanage lady hoped for the same.

Moreover, once she publicized that ’The’ Aren Frost did volunteer work at her orphanage, the people from other areas would naturally choose her orphanage over others.

She could get famous and earn some money for herself other than taking care of the children.

Once her orphanage got famous, the reporters might even come to take interviews about this day when this famous celebrity visited their orphanage.

Following behind the cheerful lady, Aren was taken to a large playroom, a room dedicated for children to interact with volunteer workers.

As soon as they entered the room, Aren’s gaze fixed itself on one woman playing with the children alongside other women of the NGO.

She wore a light purple T-shirt and blue jeans, having a smile on her face as she interacted with the children. Her Ash-blonde hair was cut into a bob cut, framing her face beautifully. Her grey eyes radiated with warmth.

Even though she was twenty-nine years old with a five-year-old kid of her own, her skin was without any flaws.

She was Juan Moss’ wife, Yana Moss, who usually volunteered on Sundays with this NGO.

As soon as the children and NGO women noticed Aren enter, all their focus shifted to him.

The kids’ eyes widened as some of them screamed loudly, "Aren Frost! Ventage’s Aren Frost!"

The kids ran up to him, rounding around him as they looked at him with reverent gazes filled with awe.

This was the first time a celebrity had visited their shabby orphanage.

"Big Brother Aren! Show us the dance of ’sweet little pie.’"

Sweet Little Pie was a Ventage song that had become a sensational hit when it released. Everyone had heard it at least once. It was all over the radio, television, and social media.

"No. Big Brother, sing Bell Bell."

"Bell Bell" was another hit, famous for its melody rather than its dance. Many people kept it as their ringtone even now.

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

They constantly demanded one song after the other, and that made Aren realize one thing.

He was still more known for his Ventage songs and Idol identity rather than his acting skills and dramas.

Well, it was natural since he had only acted in a single drama, and that too as the second male lead.

The children also didn’t have much time to watch dramas. They probably only got to hear songs and dance to them as part of orphanage activities.

But the problem was, they were demanding singing and dancing from him, which he didn’t know.

He didn’t even remember the songs they requested of him.

So, pleasing them by fulfilling their requests wasn’t an option.

And thus, he smiled warmly at them and said, "I have left singing and dancing. Now I only do acting."

"Acting?" The children seemed confused.

They didn’t use social media, so they weren’t aware of Aren’s dramas.

He was actually more popular thanks to social media and his involvement in the Titan Crest Entertainment scandal rather than for his roles.

Yes, his role as Shin was a lot more popular, but that was only among general audiences.

The old and children didn’t watch those kinds of Idol dramas.

The old preferred to watch wholesome family dramas, while the kids watched just anything short form.

He could see that the NGO workers recognized him more for the scandal and his drama rather than for his association with Ventage.

Some even seemed to be his fans, holding themselves back from approaching him to ask for photos and autographs.
