Lust Contracts

She looked at the couple that was here today and prayed silently that they would choose to adopt one of the kids and provide the child with a good home. The couple had contacted her for a while now saying that they were interested in adopting a girl to help them get over the recent loss of their own daughter.

The couple were immaculately dressed in fine clothing that were not commonly seen in this small town. It was clear that they were wealthy and came from the city. The man in the suit had a serious expression on his face while his wife seemed kind and responsible.

“No worries at all. Now, about the girl that I was inquiring about over the phone…” the woman said before smiling politely.

“Oh, yes. Please follow me this way. I will take you to her,” Miss Gwen quickly said before gesturing for the couple to follow her.

She led them to the smaller building that had survived the fire before leading them inside. The building was small and very cramped compared to the number of children that it currently housed. The decoration was sparse and only basic furnishing were available. Since the fire destroyed everything in the main building, there were not enough beds and the children had to share.

Miss Gwen was well prepared for the visit. She had asked the caretakers to shower and dress the girl up so that at least she looked presentable. It was clear that for the orphanage to survive, they had to get as many kips adopted as soon as possible to free up space and lower the financial burden.

“Is that her?” the man said as his eyes fell on a small and thin girl dressed in a flowery pink dress.

“Yes. Isn’t she lovely?” Miss Gwen said before smiling proudly at the couple.

Internally, she prayed that they liked what they were seeing. She prayed that the little girl would get adopted so that she would live a good life in the city with her new and wealthy parents.

“Come over here dear,” Miss Gwen called out to the girl.
