While he remained sitting, Alexander looked around the moderately sized dining room and then he did the same for the adjoining living room, saying “Earlier you said that you weren’t the richest people in the world which I’m taking as an exaggerated nod to how humble your financial status is, but the fact that this entire house belongs to you and you were able to enroll Blessing into the school she’s about to graduate from says a lot”Though Blessing’s high school wasn’t at the level of or as prestigious as Coker Wake High School, it was still amongst the top-rated high schools in its level and since that was the case, it meant that the school fees and overall expenses were quite high.What Alexander was trying to get at was that Mary had to be at a certain level of financial stability to be able to afford the house she and her granddaughter were living in, as well as fund Blessing’s academic lifestyle.Did that come with some sacrifices on the eighteen-year-old girl’s part that others

“Can I take care of all of Blessing’s academic expenses moving forward?” Alexander asked.Hearing this bold statement from the stairs, Blessing’s eyes widened. No matter how many times it resounded inside her ears, she couldn’t believe the words that just came out of the young multimillionaire’s mouth.Not knowing what else to do, she started chuckling in silence.“No way he meant what he just said. There’s just no way” she mumbled, doubling down on her doubts, but then, blinking her eyes rapidly when she thought more on it.“But what if he’s being honest? I mean, what reason would he have to lie to grandma about something as serious as this? He wouldn’t lie, right?” She asked herself.After everything she’d witnessed Alexander do, Blessing started to doubt that he was someone who would lie and as a result began to doubt her own doubt.Back in the dining room, Mary was stunned speechless by the bold statement from Alexander.“I think my old age is really starting to catch up with me a

What Alexander just said was more shocking to Blessing and Mary than him declaring his aspiration to take care of Blessing’s academic future.Because he had already told both women—Mary directly and Blessing by eavesdropping on the conversation— they had known about him giving Blessing a monthly allowance to continue her stay in college.Their interpretation, however, was that he was just going to give an amount under his discretion and they would have no choice but to happily accept it, no matter what it is.In their heads, Alexander was going to take into account how much he was already spending on tuition fees and rent then he was going to give an amount that would only allow Blessing to have the bare minimum experience in college.If she needed five hundred dollars to eat and move around for the entire month then that was going to give. At least that’s what they thought.Those thoughts, however, went away while they looked at Alexander and they saw that he was willing and going to

Alexander stood by his car door then waved Mary and Blessing goodbye before opening the door and entering into the car.Once in, he dropped the bag of dry-cleaned clothes on the passenger seat then he grabbed the mini duffel bag of fifty thousand dollars.“This place is about to become super crowded with the new things I’m about to buy so let me just move this,” Alexander said to himself then went out of the car with the duffel bag.He went to the front of the car, opened the empty trunk and then he dropped the bag in there. From how small the mini duffle bag was, there was still enough space for the suitcase he was going to buy to fit in.Alexander closed the trunk and jolted when, to his surprise, he saw a little kid standing by his car.The kid was holding a lollipop with one hand and holding a stuffed rabbit toy with the other hand.He grimaced and then looked around, searching for who the parent or at least the guardian of the little boy was.The entire street was empty and there

“I know it’s a question that seems like it’s coming out of nowhere, but if you’re willing to indulge me, how much do you think you would need to go back to running this place the way you want?” Alexander asked.Vicky jolted and almost gasped.Never in a million years did she expect to hear those words from Alexander’s mouth.Not only had he gone out of his way to do something good for the orphanage by bringing back the missing Timmy, but here he was trying to top that by asking a question that hinted at him wanting to offer something as marvelous as a donation.Vicky gulped, sneaking a glance at the expensive sports car parked behind Alexander and realizing that what he just said wasn’t a bunch of empty words.“The amount of money we were used to receiving as donations was adequate to keep the place running, so if you can give us that or something close to it, then I’m sure that we can make do with—“Alexander cut her off.“Miss Vicky”“Yes?” She replied.“I didn’t ask you how much yo
