The world of children was always simple, kind, and clear.
They were happy and satisfied as long as they had food and fun.
Sean's gaze slowly moved across the children's faces.
He remembered people coming to the orphanage to donate supplies.
Sean was one of the children once. He looked at the charitable people with admiration as he held the item they donated.
Sean's role was now reversed.
May would grow old, and the orphanage could not close down.
Sean and the rest should take over the responsibility now that they had grown up.
Then the orphanage would not have raised them for nothing.
"Here. Say cheese!"
Holding her phone, Caitlyn stood next to Sean and took a group photo with the children behind her.
Sean's eyes lingered on Caitlyn's phone.
It was an old smartphone. Besides that, it was shabby, and the edges of the screen were cracked.
Every girl of Caitlyn's age had an Apple iPhone.
Caitlyn was so busy with the orphanage that she did not even have a chance to get a job.
"Sean, did you get a lot of retirement pay?"
Albert walked over slowly, his eyes tentative.
"It's not bad."
Sean replied casually, not interested in talking to Albert.
"How much did you get?
"How much money do you have left?"
Albert's question was pretty straightforward.
"You can't imagine how much money I have."
Sean smiled, his eyes were disdainful.
He would not listen to men like Albert easily.
"Look at you. So what if they gave you a few hundred thousand dollars as retirement pay?
"What's a few hundred thousand dollars these days? You can't even afford a toilet in Joules Town."
Albert spat with a sneer.
Sean ignored him and only played with the kids.
