Chapter 569 What Brings You Here?
Serafina was surprised, her eyes widening. I’m not!”
It was because all the other dishes prepared by the lunch lady were salty. Only the tomato sandwiches. were sweet. That was why she had eaten so many tomato sandwiches!
She didn’t have a craving for them!
Soren glared at her and whispered. “Mommy isn’t in the best mood today. Just eat something simple.”
“When she’s feeling better, we’ll ask her to treat us to a fancy meal.”
Serafina nodded, reassured by Soren. She looked up at Cherise and smiled, “Mommy, can I have tomato sandwiches tonight?”
“Sure.”
Cherise smiled and pressed the elevator button in front of the two children.
The elevator arrived at their floor quickly.
“Mrs…”
The elevator door opened, and Mr. Hampson looked at Cherise, somewhat flustered. “Did… did you just finish work?”
As he spoke, he involuntarily glanced at the two children beside Cherise.
The two toddlers, especially the older boy…
He bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Lenoir as a child!
Mr. Hampson was very excited. He finally understood why Mr. Lenoir was certain that Cherise’s children. were his.
It was evident from the boy’s appearance and demeanor. There was no need for a DNA test to confirm that this was Mr. Lenoir’s son!
But he remembered Mr. Lenoir’s instructions and dared not express his excitement.
“Mm.”
Cherise instinctively shielded the two children behind her. “What brings you here?”
“I came…”
Mr. Hampson coughed lightly. “I came to visit my relatives!”
“Yes, that’s right. I have relatives living here!”
Cherise nodded. “What a coincidence.”
“Mm-hmm!”
Afraid of revealing too much, Mr. Hampson quickly smiled at Cherise. “Please go ahead. I have some
business to attend to.”
“I’ll be leaving!”
After responding and watching Mr. Hampson leave, she furrowed her brows and ushered the two children. into the elevator.
“Mommy, is that man one of your patients?”
Cherise was taken aback. She nodded, “Sort of.”
“Oh.”
The child looked meaningfully in Mr. Hampson’s direction.
After the three returned home, Cherise changed the children’s outfits. After changing her own clothes, she put on an apron and headed to the kitchen.
Soren and Serafina had requested tomato sandwiches for dinner.
She opened the fridge and found tomatoes and eggs but realized she was out of salt.
“Ren and Sera, behave at home. Mommy is going out to buy salt.”
“Mommy!”
Soren, who had just changed, quickly ran over. “Let me buy it!”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Cherise. “Give me the money, please!”
Cherise took money out of her pocket. “Buy two jars.”
Although Soren was only five years old, he was very clever. It wasn’t his first time running errands. Cherise had been worried at first but now felt completely at ease.
“This isn’t enough, Mommy.”,
Soren blinked at Cherise. “I need an ice cream to make up for the calories burned from going downstairs.”
“And I can’t eat an ice cream alone with Sera watching, So, Mommy, you must give me enough money for two ice creams!”
Cherise looked at her intelligent, five-year-old son in exasperation. “Mr. Know-It-All.”
With that, she took out more money from her pocket and gave it to him. “You can buy nicer ice creams today.”
“Yay!”
Serafina, dressed in pink bunny pajamas, clapped happily. “You’re the best, Mommy!”
