You Are The Apple of My Eyes
Chapter 580 Cherry Sheng

It was ten o'clock in the morning at the international airport in the Lexingport City.

After getting off the plane, Van and Don walked forward hand in hand. They looked around their new environs. Don's big bright eyes took everything in.

If he saw something interesting, he would pull his brother's hand. "Hey check that out!"

Nina wore black sunglasses that covered half her face. Her red lips were as beautiful as blooming roses, and her wine red slip dress came down to her ankles. Wearing black high-heeled sandals, she walked behind the children and saw many people stop and stare.

The two brothers with their mother was a cute scene. Everyone was suffused with the warm aura of motherly love, and no one there was immune.

The kids were laughing, running farther and farther ahead. Nina's anxiety shot through the roof. She was worried someone might take them.

Nina called helplessly after the two. "Stay closer, please. This is a strange place. Come back here."

"Don, Mommy is calling us." Van stopped and pulled his brother back.

When Don drew closer to his mother he saw a girl sitting on a suitcase. Her parents pushed the suitcase forward, and she rode on it.

"Mommy, I want to sit on that too." Don pointed at the little girl.

Nina turned her head and saw a girl of mixed blood sitting on a suitcase. Her blonde hair was tied into two pigtails, and her big eyes were like two grapes. She was maybe four or five years old.

Her parents looked too old to have a child that young. They must have conceived later in life.

The mother was slender, with wrinkles on her face, and her eyes were gentle and peaceful.

Nina had a nagging feeling like she knew the woman, but she was sure that she had never laid eyes on her before.

Don wriggled out of his brother's grip and walked towards the little girl.

"Don, where are you going?" Van followed him closely.

Before Nina could react, she saw her son raise his head and say to the little girl. "Can you be my friend?"

The corners of Nina mouth twitched. What was he doing?

It sounded like "Can you be my girlfriend?"

The little girl blinked and looked blankly at the little boy. She hadn't noticed him before. And he was followed by another boy who looked exactly the same.

The girl's parents were taken aback at first, and finally smiled.

The girl's mother bent down and looked at the two boys. "Twins? You are so cute. Where are your parents? Kids can't run around willy-nilly, or your dad and mom will be worried they can't find you." "Thank you for your concern, Auntie. My mommy is there." Van looked back at his mother obediently.

"Auntie? You're so sweet. I'm old enough to be your grandma," the girl's mother said, still smiling.

Nina took off her sunglasses, revealing her delicate face. She walked over and smiled. "Sorry to disturb you."

"No. Your son wants to make friends with Cherry," the girl's mother replied with a kind smile.

Cherry Sheng, the little girl, seemed to understand. Her eyes were no longer confused, and she smiled, showing off her cute dimples.

"Okay, my friend," Cherry happily said. "Daddy, Mommy, friend."

Cherry's father had blonde hair and green eyes, and he was at nearly 2 meters tall. He touched her head with a smile and said, "Good job! Would you like to introduce us to your little friend?"

They were so fluent in Chinese it startled Nina for a moment. It wasn't the easiest language to learn. But her surprise lessened as she regarded the gentle woman beside her.

"Cherry, get down here and be polite. Shake hands. Now you're friends," Cherry's mother said.

They clasped their small hands together.

"My name is Cherry. I'm four." She held up four chubby fingers to show that. "You're my first friend out here. I'm on the way to my brother's house."

Don smiled and said, "I'm Donald, and I'm four too. You're the first friend I made here."

As Don spoke, he turned around, held his brother's hand with one hand, and held his mother's hand with the other. "This is my mother. Isn't she beautiful? My father said my mom was the most beautiful person in the world.

Meet my younger brother Vance. He's four also. We'll be good friends, I think." Don let go of Nina's hand and held Sherry's. The three kids were holding hands now.

"Great! Daddy, Mommy, I have two friends now," Cherry said, turning to her parents.

Van took his hand back quietly and said nothing.

"Hey Cherry. Want some candy? Um, where is it?" Don reached into his pocket and took out only air.

"You finished it on the plane," Van reminded him.

Don looked up at Van and asked with a smile, "Van, do you have any left?"

"Your sons are so cute, I love them so much," Cherry's mother said to Nina. "Thank you." Nina flashed a smile.

"They look exactly the same! Can you tell them apart?" Cherry's mother asked.

Nina gently looked at the three lollipops that were taken out of Van's pockets. "Of course. Vance is shy and quiet. His younger brother, on the other hand, isn't. If they're both quiet, you really can't tell them apart. But their father and I can."

Don gave a lollipop to Cherry and said expectantly, "Now we're friends. Can I sit on it too?"

Don pointed at the suitcase.

Nina was speechless.

So making friends was just an excuse.

That was what this was all about. But Cherry readily nodded and agreed. "Okay, you need your daddy to push you. Where's your daddy?"

"I don't know." Don stared at the suitcase and was focused on how he'd climb up there. He gave her a quick answer.

Cherry tilted her head and didn't understand. Van explained, "Daddy doesn't know we're back. Mom, can you help Don? He can't climb up." Glancing at Cherry's parents, Nina helped her son up and sat him down after the two of them nodded with a smile.

"Stay with me, Van. I'll push your brother."

"Okay, Mommy." Van followed his mother obediently.

Cherry's father held her daughter in his arms. He took out the lollipop and popped it in her mouth. The six of them walked forward together.

Don sat on the suitcase and looked around excitedly. "Wow, this is fun. You can see a lot more up here. You wanna try it, Van?"

Van held his mother's hand and asked, "Mommy, do we have a suitcase like this at our house? Don likes it."

"Yes. You can play with it when we get back," Nina said.

Cherry's mother glanced at the two children and liked them more and more. "Your two children are so beautiful. Cuter than Cherry's brother when he was young." Cherry's mother's phone rang. She took out her phone and said, "Speak of the devil. That's my son on the phone. He's been waiting a while and got impatient!" "Hi, where are you? Why aren't you here?"

Standing next to Cherry, Nina heard the voice on the other end. There was that nagging feeling she'd heard it before.

Just as Nina rummaged through her thoughts to figure out who it was, the owner of the voice was striding towards them.

The two of them were astonished when their eyes met.

"Henry?"

"Mrs. Shi?"☐☐☐☐
