Women Owned by 5 Young Masters
Chapter 160: Orphanage
Since then Irene felt Alan stealing glances at her during breakfast. Every time he turned to look at Alan, the man pretended to take a look. Alan seemed to want to say something but hesitated or afraid to say it.
Drrt ... Drrt ...
Irene's phone is shaking. There was an incoming call from the housewife Irene used to go to. Irene left the dining table and headed to the side garden area to pick up the phone.
"Hello, Ma?" sapana.
"Hello, Irene, how are you?"
"Good, Mom. It seems like I haven't been there in a long time either. How's kids?"
"Good kids. But they keep asking about you. They asked why you never came again."
Irene felt a little guilty for forgetting them. "Ah, tell them I'll stop by for a while" he said.
"really? The kids will be happy to hear it. We're looking forward to your presence, Irene."
Irene ended her phone and went back to eating the rest of her food.
"Ren, you're not going anywhere today, are you?" ask Ares.
"Why indeed?" ask Irene.
"If you're not going anywhere, let's race in a miniature racecar" Ares said.
"How can I race? Only one car!" Irene still remembers yesterday Ares trying to snatch her miniature.
"Sir Alan gave me the same thing as you yesterday, just a different color. Alan's brother's in black."
Irene was surprised to hear that. He glanced at Alan, but the man looked indifferent.
"Sir Alan also got the same parcel as you."
"Ooh ...."
Despite the thought, Irene did not want to think about it. He hastened to finish his meal.
"It seems that today I can't, because there's an appointment. I'll go first, yeah!" pamit Irene's.
He asked a driver to take him to the city center. When he got there, he sent the driver home. Irene stopped by for a while at the supermarket to buy toys and food to be taken to the orphanage. After the items he wanted were collected, Irene took a taxi to the orphanage.
"Sister Irene ...."
The children's enthusiastic voices were heard when Irene had just gotten off the taxi. They ran over to Irene and gave a warm embrace.
Seeing the happy smiles on their faces, Irene felt happy as well. The fate of those who were there was the same as her, equally having no parents.
"Sister Irene didn't play here for a long time?" cici asked with her innocent face.
Irene smiled. "Sister Irene is sorry, yes. Lately, Irene has been busy, so she has been very busy" Irene said.
"Irene," said Ms. Maria, the leader of the orphanage's foundation.
Irene gave a hug to Mother Maria. "It's great to see you again" he said.
Mary rubbed the head of Irene who was already considered to be her own child. Although only known for less than a year, Irene is one of the orphanage donors who diligently make donations and visit every week.

In another corner, Alan just got out of the car that Miko was driving. He was surprised to see Irene there. The woman seemed to laugh happily with the children of the orphanage.
"Sir, are we going in now?" ask Miko.
"no need. Anytime we come here again, Alan said.
They got back in the car and left the place without telling Irene.

Irene looked at the condition of the parlour that seemed to have a lot of damage and leakage. Some of the ceilings were broken, the walls cracked and the paint looked dull. He also saw the condition of the bathroom is quite seedy like lack of care.
"This ... Why did the parlor become like this, Mom?" Irene asked curiously.
Mother Maria sighed. "This is how our home is now, Irene. We are short on care costs because our allocation of funds is primarily for eating children. The number of children's homes is increasing while the source of funds is also limited."
Irene felt touched by the condition of the orphanage which was quite alarming.
"We are also constrained by the ownership of this place. The land used to build the parlour, was originally a grant from someone. For some reason after the man died, his family did not accept and demanded that it be returned to them. If we survive, he'll have to pay 1.2 billion."
Irene fell silent thinking about the amount of savings she had. It seems to be less than the required amount. He remembered Hamish's offer to race. The promised gift is quite fantastic and can very much help the parlor.
"I'll try to help, I'll take it easy" Irene said.
Mother Mary wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes. He felt the problems facing the home were quite complicated.
"Mom need not think about anything, just focus on giving love and affection to children. I promise to help" said Irene.
"Mother increase the number of caregivers here and repair parts of the building that do require repair. I've been transferring money to the parlors and the kids."
"Thank you, Irene" said Maria's mother as she shed her tears.
Irene took a moment to the side garden area. He sent a message to Ron to check who the invited guests would be present at the race event. It didn't take long, Ron had done his job well.
Irene read the list of names that would be present there. It is true, Hamish and Alan are both listed on the list.
"Oh, how's this? Do I need to be Alenta or someone else again?"
Irene felt dizzy herself. There will be two men who recognize him with different identities.
