Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 74

The two settled on a time and place.

When she hung up, Cherry ran in. She stared at her all wide-eyed and asked, "Mommy, are you really taking me to have lunch with Daddy tomorrow?"

Nora rubbed her head and said calmly, "You have classes tomorrow, so how am I going to take you out for lunch?"

Cherry hung her head dejectedly. "1 knew it!"

A mischievous look flashed across Nora's eyes.

Pete went to the Quinn School of Martial Arts every Tuesday and Friday. Apart from those two days, he spent the rest of the time studying at home. She hadn't seen her son for three days.

The next day, Nora sent Cherry to the kindergarten.

She stopped the car at the roadside as usual. Then, she took Cherry's hand and led her to the door where a teacher was waiting.

Cherry was wearing a school uniform that the kindergarten had custom-made and carrying a big schoolbag. She looked extremely adorable.

The teacher greeted them. "Are you Cheryl Smith?

You're in Class A. I'm your teacher. Shall I bring you in?"

Cherry was about to run in when Nora held her shoulder. Nora said, "I'll say a few words to her first, Miss."

The teacher nodded. She was already accustomed to this.

Parents were generally reluctant to part with their children the first time they sent them to kindergarten, and would say things like "Tell the teacher if someone bullies you", "Don't cry. Mommy will pick you up on time", and so on.

The thought had only just formed when she saw the woman in front of her coolly instruct, "Don't bully the kids, don't pretend to cry, and don't bully the teachers. Do you hear me?"

The teacher was bewildered.

When she looked again, the little girl, who was happy and excited just now, had straightened her back. She grinned and said, "Cherry will take good care of the teachers and the other kiddies, Mommy. Don't worry!"

The teacher felt a chill go down her back. Suddenly, she wondered to herself, 'What if that newly-enrolled little girl's no little princess but a little devil instead?'

Nora watched as Cherry, whose hand the teacher was holding, hopped and skipped into the kindergarten. Before they even went through the school building's entrance, Cherry said something which made the teacher laugh. She picked her up straight away and brought her to the classroom.

Nora was rendered speechless.

The little fellow sure was capable of getting along with everyone.

After dropping her child off, a relaxed Nora stretched and looked at the time. When she saw that it was still early, she decided to go back home and take a nap.

At 11 am, she finally woke up lazily and got ready to head to the restaurant where she was meeting Justin.

Before she left, Melissa stopped her and said, "There's a dance party in a few days, Nora. I'm thinking of taking you there to meet more people..."

Nora answered casually, "Sure."

She left right after that.

Melissa, however, looked hesitant.

Simon asked, "What's wrong?"

Melissa sighed. "A lot of people will be attending the dance party. I'm afraid Nora doesn't know how to dance..."

Simon was a man, so he wasn't concerned about as many things as her. He said, "Just don't dance then. We're just going there to socialize anyway."

Melissa stared at him speechlessly for a moment. If she didn't dance at a dance party... Others would only think that Nora wasn't fit to be seen in public!

Besides, all the ladies of wealthy families were skilled at song and dance, and had no lack of talent. Nora was so pretty; there was no doubt that they would make things difficult for her there.

Worried, she picked up the phone and said, "I'll call Sheril's dance teacher and have her give Nora a crash course! At the very least, she should master the waltz first."

Justin had picked the restaurant. After all, New York was his turf.

After turning several corners in a small alley according to the address he gave her, Nora finally saw a courtyard. There was only a small sign at the entrance.

If she hadn't seen the house number, she would probably have never noticed that the place was a restaurant.

The exterior was decorated with blue bricks while the interior was a whole different world on its own.
