Adding custom data to the node object

I have created a content type called providers and when editting said content types users can fill in extra information related to the content.

I have included said form fields using hook_form_alter, and the appropriate hook for _submit applied with it all working fine (saving to db etc)

Where I am stuck is I can access the data, by loading it via hook_ENTITY_TYPE_load call which allows me to access it in _form_alter but for some reason when viewing the node, I do not see the data.

Is there a specific way of loading external data on top of node object in d8?

below is how i load the data.

    /**      * Implements hook_ENTITY_TYPE_load($entities)      */     function remittance_providers_node_load(array &$entities) {       //loop thorough the loaded entities       foreach ($entities as $key => $entity) {         // if provider node type is being loaded add our data on top of it.         if ($entity->bundle() == 'providers') {           $nid = $entity->id();           $commission_data = currencyStorage::loadCommission(array("companyID"=>$nid));           if(count($commission_data)>0){             foreach ($commission_data as $ckey => $comm) {               $entities[$key]->commission[$ckey]['amount_from'] = $comm->amount_from;               $entities[$key]->commission[$ckey]['amount_to'] = $comm->amount_to;               $entities[$key]->commission[$ckey]['commission'] = $comm->commission;             }           }         }       }     } 

I have installed devel and checked all its phases and I dont see it in there.
