Chapter 175<\/p>\n
Cherise wasn\u2019t one to be pretentions. She picked up a document abeled Mondial Regalia and signed her name with a flourish.<\/p>\n
She thought, \u2018Since it\u2019s a gift froin my boyfriend, it\u2019s only natural to accept it<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise accept his apology brought a genuine smile to Morris\u2019s previously tense face.<\/p>\n
After signing, Cherise put away the Mondial Regalia document and handed the remaining ones back to Morris. I\u2019ll just take this one: I don\u2019t need the others.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before Morris could say anything, she quickly said, \u201cI\u2019m hungry<\/p>\n
Their eyes met, and after a few seconds, they both chuckled solily.<\/p>\n
Morris gently took Cherise\u2019s hand and said, \u201cAlright, let\u2019s go, I\u2019ll take you to Marie\u2019s for some beef stew.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, and as they went downstairs, they happened to run into Truman and Xenia coming in.<\/p>\n
As soon as Xenia saw Cherise, she got so excited that she wanted to rush over and hug her, but Truman quickly held her back firmly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHey! Truman, I haven\u2019t seen Cherise in ages, and I\u2019ve missed her so much. Just let me go hug her!\u201d Xenia protested<\/p>\n
Truman stood in front of her, blinking and muttering quietly, \u201cDidn\u2019t you see who\u2019s standing next to her? That man will get jealous in no time, and it\u2019s me who\u2019ll end up paying for it!\u201d<\/p>\n
Only now did Xenia notice Morris at Cherise\u2019s side. She retreated a couple of steps and muttered to Truman, \u201cUnderstood, Truman.<\/p>\n
When Cherise saw Xenia, she let go of Morris\u2019s hand and walked over to her, warmly calling out, \u201cXenia.\u201d<\/p>\n
The sudden release of her hand made Morris\u2019s expression darken.<\/p>\n
He thought, Truman is showing up at the worst possible time just when my girlfriend finally forgives me and is about to have a meal with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise walking toward her alone, Xenia happily spread her arms wide and hugged Cherise. \u201cLong time no see, Cherise! I\u2019ve missed you so much. You\u2019ve lost weight.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise was always happy to see Xenia, so she responded, \u201cSince you\u2019re both here, why don\u2019t you join us for some beef stew? Morris knows a place with amazing food. Bring your uncle along too.\u201d<\/p>\n
She glanced at Morris after speaking. He seemed nonchalant and said, \u201cSure, let\u2019s all go!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cReally? Awesome! Dieting can wait till after this meal\u2013let\u2019s go! Xenia exclaimed.<\/p>\n
Truman was also happy; it was rare for Morris to be so approachable, \u201cOkay, let\u2019s get going then!\u201d<\/p>\n
And so, what was originally supposed to be a cozy dinner for two became a gathering with a party of eight.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, news of Shirley winning first place in the piano competition hosted by the Clusia Pianists\u2018 Association was spreading online like wildfire.<\/p>\n
[Shirley truly deserves to be called a goddess; she\u2019s the pride of the Arts Department at Betrico University.]<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t there, but just by watching the videos online, I can tell hirley\u2019s performance of The Laurel was easily the best of the night).<\/p>\n
(Madeline and Miles were good too, but Shirley was unbeatable<\/p>\n
I\u2019m a fan of Madeline too, but Shirley is just too impressive. I heard she\u2019s getting engaged tomorrow to Jeffrey, the heir of the Chambers family. Wishing her happiness in advance!<\/p>\n
[Yep, it\u2019s tomorrow! Although the Leach family isn\u2019t as powerfuls it used to be, and Shirley is only an adopted daughter, her winning today and her selection as Liam\u2019s student give her lid footing in the Chambers family.]<\/p>\n
[I heard a judge pointed out a mistake in Shirley\u2019s performance<\/p>\n
A mistake? I couldn\u2019t even tell\u2013who was the judge?]<\/p>\n
[It was Arlina. I was there, and while Shirley played beautifully, Arlina\u2019s performance was on a whole other level.] [Everyone did well, and Shirley deserved first place. Tomorrow\u2019s her engagement, so let\u2019s all wish her the best!) After that, the commente Were flooded with messages: \u201cWishing Shirley a joyful engagement! Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shirley, sitting in her room, read the online comments with a satisfied smile..<\/p>\n
The next moment, Mandy pushed the door open and came in. Seeing Shirley still up on the couch, she said, \u201cOh my, the star of tomorrow, why aren\u2019t you resting yet? Tomorrow\u2019s your big day, and good sleep is key for great skin!\u201d<\/p>\n
When Shirley saw Mandy come in, she pouted, \u201cMom, I\u2019m going to miss you so much. Jeffrey says I\u2019ll move in with him after the engagement, so I won\u2019t be able to see you as often.<\/p>\n
Mandy chuckled affectionately. \u201cDon\u2019t be silly. You\u2019re my only daughter. Whenever you miss me, I\u2019ll come visit you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then, with a more serious tone, she added, \u201cAre you sure you want Cherise to attend your engagement party tomorrow? Are<\/p>\n
