Chapter 384 I’ll Take Good Care Of Her
As Cherise was about to open the suitcase, she furrowed her brow and remembered. something. She turned to Elvis and said, “You’re not allowed to complain about the gifts. being expensive or ask about their prices!”
Every gift she bought from Europe had a high price tag.
Since it was her first trip there, she wanted to buy nice things for her family.
“Cherry…”
Elvis shook his head resignedly. He looked at her affectionately. “Did you overspend again?”
“Didn’t I tell you that Mr. Lenoir’s money doesn’t grow on trees? I warned you not to waste his money, but you never listen…”
It was difficult to get Elvis to stop nagging once he started.
Cherise pursed her lips and pretended not to hear.
“This purse is for Aunt Sarah. It will suit her when she goes line dancing.”
“This tablet is for Sky and Tay. I’ve downloaded many educational apps on it. It will be beneficial for their studies.”
“I bought a set of clothes for Grandma. The elderly ladies in Europe all dress in this style. It looks elegant!”
“And also, there’s this.”
Cherise placed a massaging device in front of Elvis. “This is not for Grandma, but for you.”
“I consulted the salesperson. She said this massaging device is useful for treating old. injuries from your time in the army…”
“Also…”
Cherise sat on the floor and brought out the gifts one by one. She introduced each of
them.
Finally, she looked at Elvis and grinned. “Uncle Shaw, do you like them?”
“Yes… I like them!”
Elvis’ smile seemed a little forced.
“Alright, there’s less than a month left before your vacation starts. If there’s anything else, we can discuss it then.”
“Anyway, it’s getting late. If you don’t leave now, it will be dark by the time you reach Adania. I have some matters to attend to.”
Elvis patted Cherise’s head and put the gifts away.
Then, he looked at Damien with a meaningful gaze. “Please take good care of Cherise.”
“I’m entrusting her to you. You must take good care of her for the rest of your life.”
Damien narrowed his eyes. Conflicting thoughts crossed his mind. “Uncle Shaw, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of her.”
Then, he pulled Cherise up from the floor and continued, “We’ll leave first since you have other matters to attend to.”
“I…”
Cherise was reluctant to leave. However, she still followed Damien out of the house.
Elvis stood at the doorway. Once Cherise and Damien’s car left, he closed his. helplessly.
eyes
He turned around and opened the door to the inner room. “We can leave now.”
“Mr. Shaw.”
Even though there was no one else in the house, the two plain-clothed police officers dutifully showed their badges. “We received a report from Ms. Maeve Lenoir accusing you of involvement in a fire thirteen years ago.”
“Please come with us and cooperate with our investigation.”
“Sure, I’ll go with you.”
Elvis smiled and turned around to put Cherise’s presents in the inner room.
He had spoken to Jack earlier. After he left, Jack would come to the house and take the things away.
After finishing his preparations, he smiled and extended his hands to the police officers.
“Go ahead.”
He chuckled bitterly as the police officers placed handcuffs on his wrists.
He reminisced about the summer thirteen years ago.
At the time, Cherise was seriously ill from the cold that was spreading around the village.
Normally, it wouldn’t be a cause for concern. One just needed to take medicine and get
some rest.
Unfortunately, someone had planted false information in Cherise’s mind. They told her. that adopted children would eventually be abandoned. Therefore, her aunt and uncle would leave her if she caused trouble.
