Chapter 625 Is It Costly?
Since Lucy chooses to be so foolish… she can leave with Cherise!
After all, if Cherise leaves, Isaac will never be the top doctor here with Lucy around.
When Cherise went to pick Soren and Serafina up from kindergarten, she saw a familiar face at the gate. It was Zachary.
At that moment, Zachary was seated on a bench at the entrance, meticulously plucking off strawberry seeds and feeding the little girl beside him. Serafina’s rosy lips smacked as she munched on the strawberries. On his other side, Soren was controlling a small toy helicopter that buzzed overhead with a remote control.
Upon seeing Cherise, Zachary rose to his feet and greeted her with a warm smile.
“Mommy, come here!” Soren called out to her excitedly, “Look! This is a remote-control helicopter Uncle Zach got for me. Isn’t it awesome?
Cherise stared blankly at the toy helicopter hovering in the sky.
The stylish, beautifully designed, first-rate toy helicopter seemed to be made of alloy. With one glance, Cherise knew it was expensive.
Cherise furrowed her brows and quickly approached Zachary. She looked at him gratefully. “I’ve told you there’s no need to buy him such costly toys…”
“Is it costly?” Zachary responded with a faint smile, “I managed to get a good deal on this toy helicopter. It’s only one thousand eight hundred.”
Cherise was taken aback when she heard the figure. She smiled, somewhat embarra*sed. “You found out?”
The lipstick Cherise had purchased for Kareen with her own money at the makeup store earlier also cost one thousand eight hundred.
Showing up at the kindergarten and buying a toy for Soren that cost the same as the lipstick clearly indicated that Zachary knew about the afternoon’s events.
Zachary nodded indifferently. /’Kareen has always caused problems. I’ve reprimanded her.”
“It’s just in her nature.” Cherise shook her head, looking slightly embarra*sed. “Given her personality, I’m not surprised she would do something like that.”
“As for you.” The man sat on the bench and continued to meticulously scrape away strawberry seeds for Serafina before gently placing them in her tiny hand. “Despite your
constant disagreements and arguments with her, why would you buy her lipstick out of spite?”
Cherise pursed her lips. “Because she’s your sister…”
It was mainly because she had been too slow to respond today.
Kareen had abruptly changed the topic as they spoke and wanted Cherise to buy her lipstick. Cherise had felt cornered.
“Care to sit and chat for a bit?” Zachary moved aside for Cherise, gesturing for her to sit beside him.
Cherise pursed her lips. She scanned the deserted kindergarten, ensured no one was watching, and cautiously sat beside him.
“Other than telling me about your encounter at the makeup store this afternoon, Kareen also mentioned something else…”
Cherise gazed at the golden sun slowly setting in the distance, feeling a pang of guilt. She had a hunch… about what he was going to say.
“How long has Damien been in Lermille?”
Cherise pursed her lips, “Not… not very long.”
For some reason, she felt guilty when Zachary calmly inquired about Damien, as if she was cheating on Zachary. But she clearly didn’t have that kind of relationship with Zachary or Damien…
Taking a deep breath, the woman attempted to compose herself. “Do you recall the day I had a thirteen-hour surgery and asked you to pick up the kids?”
