Cloe found them at the company's parking garage ,she went directly to where they were standing ,she wanted to scold the kids when she saw Stephen approaching them with his father following behind him ,she decided to shut her mouth.
"We are very sorry for keeping you guys waiting for a long time dad and I had a lot of work to finish ,"Stephen apologized to them ,"you don't have to apologise , what you and dad were doing is for our own good,"Cloe spoke , everyone looked at her and looked at away immediately ,why was she so sweet.
John looked at his mother and shook his head negatively ,he knew that his mother was only being sweet inorder to make them forget what she did earlier but he didn't answer so,"let's go, otherwise we will be late,"Patrick suggested.
There will be taking two cars , Stephen's and Patrick's, Stephanie and Beatrice boarded Patrick's car and went to the back seats while John sat next to the driver, Patrick and Pauline looked each other but they didn't say anything , there also boarded the same car.
Stephen and Cloe had no choice but to board their car silently ,"what happened at me while I wasn't there ?"Stephen asked when the car drove off ,"nothing happened ,why?"Cloe replied,"nothing ,I was just asking ,"Stephen replied.
Cloe looked at him and guessed that he has sensed something but he didn't want to talk about it, Stephen on the other side was sure that Cloe has done something to piss off the kids , they wouldn't have reacted the way they had if nothing has happened.
They finally arrived at the orphanage , they alighted the car from the orphanage parking garage and walked to the orphanage building , the kids saw them and run towards them, Patrick , Pauline , Stephanie , Beatrice and John were hugged by the kids .
Cloe was left standing just like that , Beatrice and John has visited the orphanage once but the kids still remembered them , Cloe was the only one who hasn't visited the orphanage ,she was really embarrassed.
John saw his mother's embarrassed face and decided to intervene ,"hi , kids ,this lady standing here is my mother , say hi to her ,"John introduced his mother ,the kids stopped what they were doing when they heard what John had said .
They looked at Cloe and went to hug her while introducing themselves to her , Cloe was very happy when John introduced her to the kids ,she was more happy when the kids started introducing themselves to her , they made her remember the days that Beatrice and John were little kids.
Patrick , Pauline, Stephen , Stephanie , Beatrice and John were shocked at her nice Cloe acted in front of the kids but Pauline observed her and noticed that she wasn't acting ,her smile was very genuine,she was happy that Cloe loved the kids.
The kids were called by one of the care takers , Cloe was disappointed that she couldn't spend more time with the kids ,"they are very cute , look at them they look so innocent,I wonder why some parents would give up their kids just like that!"Cloe said talking to herself.
"Some parents are so poor that taking care of the kids is very hard,"Pauline replied,"if taking care of the kids , they shouldn't have them at the first place , there are many easy ways of preventing pregnancies now days,"Cloe said to her ,"most of the kids here are orphans , they don't have parents to look after them ,"Pauline be said.
"I feel so for them but I believe even if their parents are dead , they still have relatives but those relatives are too selfish to take them in even those who takes some in they end up treating them like slaves ,"Cloe said , everyone looked at her in shock ,was she the same Cloe that they knew.
Why was she very good today or maybe someone else has been reborn and taken her form,if it was still her then they believed that whatever she was saying wasn't genuine , only Pauline believed that whatever she was saying was coming from the bottom of her heart.
"I think that I will also donate a few millions to the orphanage ,"Cloe said ,she also wasn't poor ,her parents were very rich ,she had a lot of money plus she also had a few restaurants under her name ,a few millions wouldn't make her poor.
"Thank you Cloe,"Pauline thanked her from the bottom of her heart,"you are welcome ,I don't know why am thinking of putting up an orphanage but on another thought won't I be trying to give you competition?"Cloe asked looking at Pauline,she may argue and disagree with her most of the times but she still respected her as her mother-in-law.
"Of course you won't be competing with me , they are still many kids out there who needs a place to call home , this orphanage can't contain all of them,if you put up an orphanage many such kids would benefit,"Pauline said to her.
"I will start the preparations for putting up the orphanage once we goes back home,"Cloe said ,"that is very good ,you count on me to help you , "Pauline said , Cloe nodded her head ,why hasn't she thought of this earlier.
Stephen watched as his mother and wife conversed ,he could be the happiest man on Earth if the both of them treated each other like they were doing today, John was also sure that if his mother was always like that ,the family would be always happy.
Beatrice on the other hand prayed that her mother never changes from what she was today but she knew her mother better ,she was like a cammellion that changes colour often ,she would act like a angel one minute and she would be a real devil the next minute ,she failed to understand her but she prayed that she changes for the better.
