Chapter 1404 Certainly Look Like You

Jerry had asked Sasha about the details of the incident and learned what had happened from her when he took him to the hospital.

He explained to Charlotte, "Sasha said that Sophia didn't pick her up. Since the other children already left, she was afraid of being locked up in the kindergarten at night and sneaked out. She didn't know where her address. Her umbrella was blown away, and she accidentally fell and scraped her forehead."

Sophia Sunderland was the housekeeper in Henry's place. She had been taking care of their household ever since Jessica gave birth to Sasha.

After Sasha started attending kindergarten, Sophia was always the one to pick her up and drop her off.

When Charlotte learned that Sophia did not pick up Sasha from kindergarten, she was furious yet frightened. She called Sophia in frustration, but no one picked up the phone.

She then called Jessica, but no one answered too. Fortunately, she was able to reach Henry in the end.

Henry said, "Your sister is on a business trip to Bellridge, and I'm currently in Baykeep. I told Sophia to take good care of Sasha when I left. Sophia is an experienced housekeeper. She won't not pick Sasha up for no reason. Probably something happened at home. I'll call and ask her after this. How's Sasha doing now?"

"It's nothing serious. She only scraped her forehead," Charlotte replied.

If it were my housekeeper, I would have brought her back and scolded her fiercely. Couldn't she call in advance if something happened at home? It's not like they aren't being paid for their work. However, Sophia was Henry's housekeeper. No matter how angry Charlotte was, she couldn't comment much.

With her hands on her waist, Charlotte glared at Sasha. "Sasha, even if Sophia didn't pick you up, you could have asked your teacher to call your parents. Who allowed you to run out of the kindergarten? What if something happened to you?"

She paused before continuing, "Do you think Jadeborough is your family's territory? There are human traffickers who specifically target healthy children to harvest their organs for sale out there. Are you aware of that?"

Upon hearing that, Sasha hugged Jerry and buried her little head in his arms.

"Why are you burying your head? Do you think you're an ostrich?" Charlotte became even more agitated. She reached out to pull Sasha, but Jerry slapped her hand away. Protecting Sasha with one of his hands, Jerry said, "She's only around five years old. Why are you speaking so harshly?"

Charlotte retorted, "Who told her to be disobedient? What if your car hadn't happened to pass by, and someone had kidnapped her? Sasha, take off your pants yourself. You won't remember if I don't teach you a lesson."

Jerry had spoken to Charlotte first when she arrived at the hospital. As such, she considered her response to him was not breaking the rules since he now spoke to her again.

"No way! It's so embarrassing for being butt-naked." Sasha hugged Jerry's waist tight.

Once again, Jerry pushed Charlotte's hand away. "Why are you being so fierce to the child? Did your dad spank you when you were little?"

Charlotte pouted. "I'm way more well-behaved than this brat."

Sasha immediately retorted, "Says who? Grandpa said you often made him angry and caused his blood pressure to rise, Aunt Charlotte. However, he didn't hit you because he loved you. You don't love me. That's why you want to hit me."

"Why do you talk so much?" Charlotte glared at Sasha impatiently.

The bickering between the two made Jerry couldn't help but laugh. A few seconds later, he composed himself and said leisurely, "She certainly looks like you."

"Bullsh*t! I was way cuter than her when I was little," Charlotte retorted.

Jerry picked up the down jacket from the chair and helped Sasha put it on. Sasha mentioned that her classmates had all taken the subway before, and she thought it was cool. "I haven't taken the subway yet. Uncle Jerry, can we take the subway, please?"

"Hey, why are you calling him so intimately?" Charlotte cast her a glance.

Sasha shook her head and asked in confusion, "Isn't Uncle Jerry your boyfriend, Aunt Charlotte? Isn't he part of our family?"

She was very satisfied with her way of addressing Jerry and also her response to Charlotte.

After they left the hospital, Charlotte saw a stall selling baked potatoes and instructed Jerry, "Since you bought her a sweet potato, you have to buy one for me too."

Sasha said, "But Aunt Charlotte, I'm a kid."

"Hmph! So what if you're a kid? I'm his girlfriend." Charlotte asserted her authority.

Left with no choice, Jerry went to buy another baked potato while holding Sasha in his arms. Charlotte insisted he peeled the baked potato for her to eat since he had done the same to Sasha earlier. She also said she did not want to hold Sasha.

Thus, Sasha could only hold Charlotte's hand and walk with a grievance.
