Chapter 1589

Jamie finished work early to pick up Charlie from school.

When Ben found out, he insisted on accompanying her. "I'll drive you there. It's Charlie's first day at school, and I'd like to see how he's doing."

Jamie hesitated briefly but agreed. After all, Ben was Charlie's father. It was natural for him to care.

The two arrived at the preschool and parked nearby. Though the car was relatively discreet, its sleek design still attracted attention.

Most of the children couldn't help but admire it.

"Wow, that car is so cool!" one of the kids exclaimed.

Charlie had made a new friend who happened to recognize the brand. The boy pointed at the car and said, "That's a super expensive car. Even my dad doesn't have one!" Charlie glanced at it nonchalantly. "That's my uncle's car."

His new friend immediately accused him of lying. "No way! You're making that up."

Charlie patiently explained, but when the other boy refused to believe him, Charlie started getting frustrated. "I'm telling you the truth! That's my uncle's car. I'm not lying!" The other boy folded his arms and scoffed. "If it's really your uncle's car, then tell him to get out of it. Can you do that?"
