Chapter 627 Cherise’s Reckless Purchase
Cherise and Zachary talked on the lawn in front of the kindergarten for a long time.
Their conversation was so lengthy that Serafina had managed to eat an entire plate of strawberries and was now frolicking around the lawn with Soren. Their laughter echoed as they played with the remote-controlled toy helicopter.
“Mommy, I’m hungry!” As dusk began to settle, Serafina’s energy finally depleted. She ran towards Cherise while blinking pitifully. “Mommy, I want to go home and eat pierogis!”
“You should head home.” Zachary looked down at his expensive steel watch. “It’s getting late, and the kids have school tomorrow.”
“And we haven’t eaten yet!” Serafina chimed in with a pleading expression.
Cherise gave her a knowing look. “Didn’t you just devour a whole plate of strawberries from Uncle Zach? Are you hungry already?”
Serafina pouted. “Eating fruit isn’t enough. It’s not filling!”
“You have a bottomless stomach!” Soren teased his sister mercilessly. “Why am I full?”
“Because you’re a dummy!”
“You’re the dummy!”
“You are!”
“You’re not a dummy. You’re a little glutton!”
“You’re the glutton!”
“You are!”
“Boo-hoo! Mommy! Ren is bullying me!”
Cherise was dumbstruck. She sighed in resignation and carried Serafina.
She waited for Zachary and Soren to pack the remote-controlled toy helicopter and stow it in the car before settling Serafina in the back seat. “Let’s go home and eat pierogis!”
“Okay!” The little girl’s eyes curved in delight as she beamed.
