Chapter 384 Iâll Take Good Care Of Her
As Cherise was about to open the suitcase, she furrowed her brow and remembered. something. She
turned to Elvis and said, âYouâre not allowed to complain about the gifts. being expensive or ask about
their prices!â
Every gift she bought from Europe had a high price tag.
Since it was her first trip there, she wanted to buy nice things for her family.
âCherryâ¦â
Elvis shook his head resignedly. He looked at her affectionately. âDid you overspend again?â
âDidnât I tell you that Mr. Lenoirâs money doesnât grow on trees? I warned you not to waste his money,
but you never listenâ¦â
It was difficult to get Elvis to stop nagging once he started.
Cherise pursed her lips and pretended not to hear.
âThis purse is for Aunt Sarah. It will suit her when she goes line dancing.â
âThis tablet is for Sky and Tay. Iâve downloaded many educational apps on it. It will be beneficial for
their studies.â
âI bought a set of clothes for Grandma. The elderly ladies in Europe all dress in this style. It looks
elegant!â
âAnd also, thereâs this.â
Cherise placed a massaging device in front of Elvis. âThis is not for Grandma, but for you.â
âI consulted the salesperson. She said this massaging device is useful for treating old. injuries from
your time in the armyâ¦â
âAlsoâ¦â
Cherise sat on the floor and brought out the gifts one by one. She introduced each of
them.
Finally, she looked at Elvis and grinned. âUncle Shaw, do you like them?â
âYes⦠I like them!â

Elvisâ smile seemed a little forced.
âAlright, thereâs less than a month left before your vacation starts. If thereâs anything else, we can
discuss it then.â
âAnyway, itâs getting late. If you donât leave now, it will be dark by the time you reach Adania. I have
some matters to attend to.â
Elvis patted Cheriseâs head and put the gifts away.
Then, he looked at Damien with a meaningful gaze. âPlease take good care of Cherise.â
âIâm entrusting her to you. You must take good care of her for the rest of your life.â
Damien narrowed his eyes. Conflicting thoughts crossed his mind. âUncle Shaw, donât worry. Iâll take
good care of her.â
Then, he pulled Cherise up from the floor and continued, âWeâll leave first since you have other matters
to attend to.â
âIâ¦â
Cherise was reluctant to leave. However, she still followed Damien out of the house.
Elvis stood at the doorway. Once Cherise and Damienâs car left, he closed his. helplessly.

He turned around and opened the door to the inner room. âWe can leave now.â
âMr. Shaw.â
Even though there was no one else in the house, the two plain-clothed police officers dutifully showed
their badges. âWe received a report from Ms. Maeve Lenoir accusing you of involvement in a fire
thirteen years ago.â
âPlease come with us and cooperate with our investigation.â
âSure, Iâll go with you.â
Elvis smiled and turned around to put Cheriseâs presents in the inner room.
He had spoken to Jack earlier. After he left, Jack would come to the house and take the things away.
After finishing his preparations, he smiled and extended his hands to the police officers.
âGo ahead.â

He chuckled bitterly as the police officers placed handcuffs on his wrists.
He reminisced about the summer thirteen years ago.
At the time, Cherise was seriously ill from the cold that was spreading around the village.
Normally, it wouldnât be a cause for concern. One just needed to take medicine and get
some rest.
Unfortunately, someone had planted false information in Cheriseâs mind. They told her. that adopted
children would eventually be abandoned. Therefore, her aunt and uncle would leave her if she caused
trouble.
