Chapter 598 Puppy Love (Part Two)


    "What are you thinking, bro? Sad to see her go? Then chase after her! But remember, only yesterday


    the teacher told us that we ninth grade students should focus on our studies and let love affairs be for a


    remember that if the teacher finds out, that you of all the people, the model student, has gone and


    fallen in love with a girl, she will surely tell your parents about it," he warned. "And think, if you fall in


    love and get distracted now, will you be able to keep your grades up? You have to get into a good


    middle school, how will you do it if you don''t focus?"


    As Mike finished talking, Lawrence looked at him and said,"Do you want another good spank from me?


    Haven''t I kicked your ass enough for today?" Lawrence was about to start another round of kicking and


    pushing. He thought Mike just needed some good discipline.


    "No, Lawrence! Please! I was just kidding! It''s just a joke!" said Mike.


    It was afternoon and Cherry was waiting at the door of the elementary school. It was time for Violet to


    Suddenly, her phone rang. She took it out of the purse and saw Amy was calling. Cherry picked it up.


    "Hi, Amy," said Cherry happily.


    "Cherry, are you going to school to pick Violet up?" asked Amy.


    "Yes, I''m waiting for her at the school gate right now. The ss will be over in a minute," replied Cherry.


    "Oh good! Can you also please pick Alice up? I''m swamped with work here at the training school and


    Derek is stuck in office for some urgent business meetings too. Neither of us can leave and pick her up


    right now," Amy exined in a hurry.


    "Oh, okay. No problem. I will take Alice to my ce then," said Cherry.


    "That sounds good. I''ll pick her up from your ce after work then. Thank you so much Cherry. I''m


    really sorry I keep bothering you so much all the time," said Amy.


    Cherry smiled and said,"Never mind, Amy. It is not a big deal."


    "Alright. Thanks, anyway."


    As soon as Cherry hung up, the school bell rang. The students would swarm out of the school any


    moment now. Cherry couldn''t wait to see Violet.


    Soon enough, two girls walked out, hand in hand. One of them was wearing a cream coloured skirt with


    her hair tied in two neat braids while the other was wearing a pink skirt.


    Alice looked at Violet and said in her cute childish voice,"Okay Violet. Now you go find your Mom and I


    will go find mine."


    "I already see my Mom," said Violet pointing towards Cherry and wildly waving at her.


    Alice was disappointed, she said,"But I haven''t found my Mom." She kept searching at the school


    gates, there were several parents there, but her Mom was nowhere to be seen.


    "Don''t worry. Let''s go to my Mom first," said Violet, tightly holding Alice''s hand.


    "Alright," replied Alice. Both of them ran towards Cherry.


    "Violet, Alice," Cherry waved to the two girls cheerfully.


    "Mom, we can''t find Alice''s mother!" said Violet.


    Cherry lowered her head to look at her daughter''s face and then turned to Alice. She said,"Alice, your


    mother could not finish her work and so has not been able toe to school to pick you up. I''m going


    to take you to my ce and you can finish your homework with Violet there. Your Mom wille and


    pick you up from there after work."


    "Ok," Alice nodded cutely.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    "Alright, that''s settled. Let''s go home now. You two will sit in the backseat and I''ll drive the car," Cherry


    said to the two girls.


    "Well, Alice, let''s get in the car," said Violet, still holding Alice''s hand.


    The two girls talked about what happened at school, all the way home, as Cherry patiently listened.


    "Mom, we got the results of ourst exam today. I came third," said Violet in a disappointed voice. She


    then lowered her head, feeling bad. She wanted to be the first, but she could never manage to. It


    always upset her.


    Cherry saw her daughter''s expression through the mirror in her car. She then smiled and said,"Third


    position is great! You did very well. Keep going."


    But Violet wasn''t cheered so easily. "Hmm...okay," she said and flopped back onto the seat of the car.


    Alice saw the fallen expression on Violet''s face and tried to cheer her up. "Violete on! you


    remember you came first in that Mathspetition we hadst week! The teacher even said that you


    will be awarded for it."


    Alice''s words seemed to have done the magic and Violet suddenly cheered up. "Oh yes! I would have


    forgotten about it, if you hadn''t reminded me!"


    She looked at Cherry happily and said,"Mom I came first in the Mathspetition! Remember I told


    you thest time?"


    Cherry smiled and answered,"Yeah, I know which one you are talking about. My daughter is pretty


    smart."


    "Mom, I''m better than my brother, am I not?" Violet wanted to know. She had always beenparing


    herself to her narcissistic brother who always came first in ss. She tried very hard but could only


    "Yes, my daughter is the best and the smartest," replied Cherry. She then went on,"Alice is pretty good


    too, you know Violet. Your Mom said that you got the first prize in the singingpetition held by your


    schoolst time. Alice, is that true?"


    "It''s true, Aunt Cherry," replied Alice happily.


    "Yes Mom, Alice sings very well. Someday when both the families get together along with Uncle


    Wilson''s family, we''ll arrange for Alice''s singing performance."


    "Alright. That''s a great idea," replied Cherry. She could alwaysmunicate well with these two girls.


    She always thought highly of her daughter and was more partial to her. She didn''t think the same way


    for her son though.
