Chapter 414 An Interesting Family
She turned away from Cherise, trying to hold back the tears that were about to spill. âBy the Sky, Tay,
and Grandma really liked the gifts you bought last time.â
âThey were grateful that you still remembered them.â
She walked away as soon as she conveyed their gratitude.
She was afraid that if she stayed, she wouldnât be able to hold back her tears.
way,
Cherise knelt on the ground and watched Sarahâs silhouette as she walked away. âAunt Sarahâ¦
âIf I find Uncle Shaw⦠Iâm willing toâ¦â
âLetâs save that for later.
She continued to walk away, leaving behind only her cold and indifferent silhouette.
Cherise knelt on the ground, her head bowed, overwhelmed with guilt and despair.
âThank you for taking me in.â
âI will find Uncle Shaw.â
In the car outside the Shaw village.
Sarah got into the car. âMr. Caldwell, Iâve said what I needed to say. Can I go now?â
âFine.â
Jacob leaned against the driverâs seat and glanced at Sarah. âAunt Sarah, I donât understand why you
had to be so harsh to her.â
Cheriseâs petite figure curled up in a corner, but her cries were drowned out by the rain.
Sarah leaned against the car window and closed her eyes slowly. âHow else was I supposed to say
it?
âYou could have just told her that you havenât found another man and that youâve had a hard time
taking care of Sky, Tay, and Grandma.â
âThe Cherise I know would offer to help.
Sarah chuckled bitterly. âI donât want to burden her,â she said solemnly.
âShe has her own life. One day, sheâll have her own children to take care of.â
Jacob started the car. âYouâre a fascinating family,â

âI remember that people in this village value filial children who can take care of their families. That way,
they have someone to rely on when theyâre older.
âBut now youâre saying you donât want to burden Cherise.â
*Please explain why you took Cherise in all these years.
Sarah grinned as she stared out the window. âMr. Caldwell, I donât know if I should tell you
Jacob smiled wryly. âGo on.â
âI was going to sayâ¦
Sarah glared at him, her eyes flashing with anger. âItâs none of your business!â
this.â
âWhat does my decision to care for Cherise or her choice to take care of me have to do with you?
âI like this girl, so I cared for her like a pet. Does it bother you that I want her to have a good life?â
âIs it something you have to interfere in?â
Jacob was stunned by her sudden outburst of anger.
He shook his head in disbelief.
âAunt Sarah, I understand this must have been difficult for you since I brought you here so late,
knowing your husband is missing.
âHowever, I donât think I should be yelled at for it.â
âThatâs just who I am!â
Sarah rolled her eyes. âThatâs enough talking! Take me home!â
Jacob shook his head and pressed harder on the accelerator.
When they arrived at Sarahâs house, Jacob handed her a letter. âDamien asked me to give you
this.
âI know you have your pride to protect, and you wouldnât want to be a burden to Cherise.â
âHeâs just lending you this moneyâ
âRemember to repay him.â
Jacobs drove away after giving her the money.
Sarahâs lips curled into a soft smile, with a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes as she watched the car
disappear into the night.

Elvis, Iâm sure Cherise will go find you now that Iâve made it clear to her. You have to stay strong Iâll
wait for
you.
Sarah finally stopped sobbing after Sarah left.
She looked into Damienâs eyes. âI want to find Uncle Shaw.â
