The two settled on a time and place.

When she hung up, Cherry ran in.

She stared at her all wide-eyed and asked, “Mommy, are you really taking me to have lunch with Daddy tomorrow?”

Nora rubbed her head and said calmly, “You have classes tomorrow, so how am I going to take you out for lunch?”

Cherry hung her head dejectedly.

“I knew it!”

A mischievous look flashed across Nora’s eyes.

Pete went to the Quinn School of Martial Arts every Tuesday and Friday.

Apart from those two days, he spent the rest of the time studying at home.

She hadn’t seen her son for three days.

The next day, Nora sent Cherry to the kindergarten.

She stopped the car at the roadside as usual.

Then, she took Cherry’s hand and led her to the door where a teacher was waiting.

Cherry was wearing a school uniform that the kindergarten had custom-made and carrying a big schoolbag.

She looked extremely adorable.

The teacher greeted them.

“Are you Cheryl Smith? You’re in Class A.I’m your teacher.Shall I bring you in?”

Cherry was about to run in when Nora held her shoulder.

Nora said, “I’ll say a few words to her first, Miss”

The teacher nodded.

She was already accustomed to this.

Parents were generally reluctant to part with their children the first time they sent them to kindergarten, and would say things like “Tell the teacher if someone bullies you Don’t cry.Mommy will pick you up on time”, and so on.

The thought had only just formed when she saw the woman in front of her coolly instruct, “Don’t bully the kids, don’t pretend to cry, and don’t bully the teachers.Do you hear me?”

The teacher was bewildered.

When she looked again, the little girl, who was happy and excited just now, had straightened her back.

She grinned and said, “Cherry will take good care of the teachers and the other kiddies, Mommy.

Don’t worry!”
