Bring Your A Game, Mr novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 What’s Wrong With Alexander?

Elise felt Alexander was behaving a little weird today. The way he looked at her was as if he had something to tell her, but he had not spoken up even after the dinner was over. As such, Elise thought she might have overthought.

After going back to her room, Elise switched on the computer and a new email notification popped up. Then, she clicked into it and saw it was an email from the director of the children’s home. The email provided an update of the children’s situation and the previous month’s statement of cash flow was also attached in it. Elise glanced through it and thought everything looked fine, so she closed the mailbox thereafter.

At the same time, she received a call from the children’s home. “Hi, Miss Elise, the children are missing you. It’ll be great if you can make some time to come and visit them.”

Elise had not gone to visit the children over this period when she was at Athesea. She glanced at the calendar and realized it was the weekend tomorrow, so she agreed gladly. “It’s my day off tomorrow. I’ll be there.”

The director was elated to hear her response. “I’m sure the children will be overjoyed to know this. We’ll see you tomorrow then, Miss Elise.”

 

The next morning, Elise put together a casual outfit. “Miss Elise, are you heading out?” a servant asked thoughtfully. Elise didn’t want Robin to worry about her, so she answered, “Yeah, I have some matters to attend to. If Grandpa asks about me, please tell him that I’ve gone to Angel Children Home at Downtown North, and that I’ll be back by afternoon.”

“Alright. Please take care, Miss Elise.”

 

After leaving home, Elise first hailed a cab to the supermarket to buy some toys, snacks and books for the children.

She bought so many things that the car boot was filled up to the max. Then, the cab driver sent Elise to the welfare home.

The moment the children saw Elise walk in with bags of supplements in her hands, they ran up to her in excitement. “Hi, Elise. I’ve missed you so much!”

“You’re finally here, Elise!”

Looking at the children, Elise beamed from ear to ear. “I’ve missed y’all too. Come and look at what I’ve bought for you.”

Elise distributed the snacks and toys to the children, who were all overjoyed to receive the gifts. While they thanked Elise, the director came out. “Oh, Miss Elise, you’re too kind to always bring us so much stuff whenever you come.”

Elise held the director’s arm intimately when she saw her. “Not at all, Madam Ruth. These are just some small gifts for the children.”

Back then when Elise’s parents passed away, it was Ruth who took her in kindly until her grandparents came and fetched her home. She had always remembered Ruth’s kindness toward her, so she would contribute some money to the children’s home and come back to visit them every year.

“We really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks to your support for these past years, these kids are able to live in such a decent environment. I thank you on behalf of the kids.”

“Hey, Elise, come and play with us!” Just then, two children came to grab Elise, and so Elise went to play with them.

Little did she know that at this moment, Alexander was winding down his car window slowly outside the children’s home.

Looking at Elise who was having a good time with the children, he felt surprised and bizarre. Normally, he only saw her being both serious and playful, but he had never seen her this joyful before.

He couldn’t help but be moved by the bright smile on Elise’s face and her genuine joy.
