Deliveryman Goes off Duty to Spend Xmas Eve with Oldie, Gets Call from Her Lawyer Later – Story of the Day

When a delivery boy went to an elderly woman’s house on Christmas Eve, he decided to spend the evening with her because her children didn’t visit. A year later, he received a call from her lawyer and learned the unexpected.

After Stan’s parents passed away when he was a teenager, a couple adopted him and promised to take care of him. However, a few years later, they started being harsh on him. Instead of sending him to school, they asked him to work and earn money.

Stan was a clever boy who understood that his adoptive parents weren’t his well-wishers. Soon, he left their house in the middle of the night after he got a job as a delivery boy at a local restaurant.

He had saved some money, which he used to rent a room. He would spend the entire day delivering meals around town and only return to his room to sleep. He ate leftovers at the restaurant and even sneaked some home instead of throwing them in the trash.

Stan looked at the elderly woman’s face and realized she was about to cry again. Instead of leaving, he switched off his phone and asked if he could spend the evening with her.

“I’m an orphan,” he said. “I don’t have a family to celebrate Christmas with.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry,” the woman replied. “What’s your name?”

Then, Nancy invited Stan inside her house and offered him the food she had made for her children. “I hope you like the pie!” she said.

“Thank you so much, Nancy!” Stan smiled. “It smells amazing, and I’m sure it tastes even better. I had always dreamt of having homemade food on Christmas!”

While Stan ate, he told Nancy about himself and what happened after he lost his parents. “I was too young to understand what was happening, and suddenly, a couple decided to...
