Chapter 701 The Long-Awaited Cherries

Vera struggled to hold Teddy. "Teddy, you can't eat that."

Teddy opened his mouth, trying to nibble on Vera's lips. "Mommy will taste it for you."

Later, Vera handed the chubby Teddy over to Patrick.

Milo led everyone inside, where people were already picking cherries. They greeted Milo warmly.

Once inside, Milo waved his hand grandly. "Feel free to play around. You can pick and eat any cherries from the trees."

Vera looked at the clusters of red cherries, like strings of garnet beads, so tempting in their redness.

arms.

The silver bracelet on her wrist gleamed in the sunlight.

Vera picked one and tasted it. "The ones in the shade are sour, but the ones at the top are sweet."

Molly looked up at the treetop. "I can't reach them."

Susan said, "I can!"

Even the tall Patrick and Sebastian looked at Susan, who claimed she could.

Shawn was about to use a stick to knock down the cherries, but he saw the ground was already covered with fallen cherries, some overripe and dropping with the wind.

Susan said she could do it.

Randall scoffed. "You can? What, you got wings to fly up there?"
