The Amazing son in law Chapter 949
Charlie had spent the last ten years living in the orphanage, starting from the age of eight and continuing until he turned eighteen. This place held a special place in his heart. This update is available on FindN()vel.net
In earlier years, he had hesitated to return, feeling somewhat ashamed of his circumstances.
But now, with a bit of money in his pocket, he thought it was time to visit and see what the orphanage might need. He wanted to be in a position to help address their needs when the opportunity arose.
With a slight nod, Charlie said, “Let’s go inside and take a look around the orphanage.”
Lisa’s face lit up with joy. She eagerly took hold of Charlie’s arm and pulled him into the building.
Charlie couldn’t resist her enthusiasm and followed along, still holding his wife Claire’s hand.
Claire felt her heart race a bit, but she was happy to let Charlie guide her into the orphanage.
The Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, established in the last century, had a rich history. The buildings were modest, low brick structures that had seen many decades.
As Charlie looked around, he noticed that the place remained largely unchanged since his childhood. Unable to contain his curiosity, he asked Lisa, “Has the orphanage not undergone any expansions or renovations over the years?”
Lisa replied, “We did have plans to expand, but funding has always been a challenge. We have more children now than before, and the dean, along with Mrs. Lewis, believes it’s better to allocate funds to the kids rather than on upgrades. We try to save wherever we can.”
Looking around the yard, Charlie spotted familiar rusty slides, seesaws, and merry-go-rounds. This sight struck him with an uncomfortable feeling.
These were the very toys he had played with as a child, now at least twenty years old, still being enjoyed by the younger kids who arrived at the orphanage after him.
Charlie felt a twinge of guilt. Before Stephen found him, he had been consumed with concern for Mrs. Lewis’s health, doing everything he could to help her. Since being found, he had focused on restoring his own dignity.
Yet, during that time, he hadn’t thought to donate to the orphanage to enhance the living conditions for his younger siblings. He found this completely inexcusable!
With this in mind, Charlie resolved to donate tens of millions of dollars to the orphanage. His goal was to fund an expansion and renovation, ensuring that the children had access to the best toys, education, and learning resources.
He even planned to provide computers and iPads for them!
Meanwhile, Claire was unaware of Charlie’s conflicted feelings or his self-reproach. She was intrigued by her surroundings. Although it was her first visit, she found the atmosphere warm and inviting.
This warmth likely stemmed from the fact that her husband had grown up here.
In truth, Claire had never viewed Charlie as merely her contracted husband. In her heart, he had always been her true and legal partner.
