Divorce Time 209

Chapter 209

Charlene had just arrived at Jasmine's school when she heard Sally calling her name. "Ms. Ross!" Sally's voice was bright and cheerful as she ran over to Charlene.

"Ms. Ross, last night my mom baked some cookies for you, but you weren't home, so I had to take them back," Sally explained, looking slightly disappointed.

Charlene was about to say something when Jasmine, who was unaware that Charlene had moved out, chimed in with a scoff, "That's not true. My mom was definitely home last night." Sally scratched her head, confused. "Really? But then why...?"

Before Charlene could clarify, Jasmine's teacher, Ms. Payne, called out to her. "Ms. Ross."

Charlene acknowledged her. "Ms. Payne."

Ms. Payne asked Jasmine and Sally to go inside because she needed to have a word with Charlene.

The girls scampered off, leaving the adults to talk.

"Next week, we have a parent-child event at the school. Are you aware of it, Ms. Ross?" Ms. Payne inquired. Charlene shook her head, "No, I wasn't informed."
