So, are we going or not?<\/p>\n<p>Morris glanced at Cherise, then back at Truman, and replied, \u201cO? Is that so?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leo answered, \u201cYes, Mr. Chivers, Ms. Chambers personally brought the invitation two weeks ago. Since you didn\u2019t want anyone to bother you, I took it on your behalf<\/p>\n<p>Morris nodded and poured Cherise another glass of water. \u201cWhat about you, Cherise?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise smiled faintly, took a sip of water, and said, \u201cMy so\u2013called sister is getting engaged\u2013and to my ex\u2013fianc\u00e9 at that. It\u2019d be rude nor to send a gift. Don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the other side of the table, Crow, seeing her expression, immediately sensed she was up to something.<\/p>\n<p>Morris seemed to have the same sense and, in front of everyone, held Cherise\u2019s hand. Then I\u2019ll go with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll go too! I\u2019m free anyway, and my family received an invitation as well, Xenia, sitting beside Truman, chimed in cheerfully.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise nodded at Xenia. \u201cAlright.<\/p>\n<p>Morris, however, rubbed his temples, clearly less than thrilled due to Xenia\u2019s intrusion into his moment with Cherise. His icy gaze shifted to Truman.<\/p>\n<p>Catching the hint immediately, Truman played along. \u201cXenia, your grandparents are going too, and they don\u2019t know the way. You should come home with me tonight and take them over tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>nia laughed and asked, \u201cIsn\u2019t there a driver for that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat are you saying? Drivers or no drivers, you should still show respect to your elders. They\u2019re your grandparents!\u201d Truman responded, putting on a serious face.<\/p>\n<p>Xenia sighed in resignation. \u201cFine, I\u2019ll go back with you. I love my grandparents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Truman breathed a sigh of relief. With Morris\u2019s look just now, he knew that if he didn\u2019t find a way to keep Xenia away, he\u2019d be the one paying for it.<\/p>\n<p>The last time Cherise got drunk and performed on stage at Ebb &amp; Flow, he ended up doing a month of volunteer work in war\u2013torn Astamia. He was fortunate enough to survive, or else he wouldn\u2019t be here today, enjoying this meal.<\/p>\n<p>Satisfied, Morris raised an eyebrow, leaned in close to Cherise, and murmured softly in her ear, \u201cHey girlfriend, how about a private date? Can I have that honor?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His tone was slightly humble. Although his voice was quiet, it was just loud enough for everyone in the room to hear.<\/p>\n<p>The other six people either glanced at the ceiling, looked down at the floor, pretended to fuss with their fingers, or stared at their phones as if they were busy with work.<\/p>\n<p>08 28 Mon, Dec 9<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 176<\/p>\n<p>Cherise glanced sideways at Morris and saw the sincere look on face she hurled sofily and without carmig about thr reactions of the isthers, took his hand, and they walked ran together<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the two of them left, everyone else let out a sigh of relief<\/p>\n<p>Crow asked, confused, \u201cWait\u2013that is the cold, ruthless, and dece Morris Chivere The way people describe him doesn\u2019t match what I\u2019m seeing.<\/p>\n<p>Truman got up and parted! Crow on the shoulder. \u201cKid, you\u2019re still young That\u2019s him alright. Try it when Cherise int around, and you\u2019ll ser how fast he changes\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Crow took a sip of water to process this. \u201cThey really are a perfect match. I wish Hoss could be that gentle with me<\/p>\n<p>As soon as he finished speaking. Leo and Truman rushed over to cover his mouth. Shh Morris might still be nearby\u2013you might not live to see tomorrow\u2019s sunrise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Morris drove Cherise back to Glenshire Gardens. Without the group\u2019s interference, Without the group\u2019s interference, he felt much happier.<\/p>\n<p>On the 26th floor, Cherise, exhausted from the day, was ready to head to room 2601 to rest, but Morris held her hand tightly. \u201cCherise could I have just five minutes?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise looked puzzled. \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris pointed to room 2602 and led her over.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as the door opened, a wave of floral fragrance filled the air.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, thousands of fresh flowers decorated the room\u2013red roses, yellow roses, forget\u2013me\u2013nots, baby\u2019s breath, tulips\u2026. Seeing this, Cherise let out a small, amused sigh.<\/p>\n<p>She reached out, stood on her tiptoes, and cupped Morris\u2019s face. Mr. Chivers, did you empty out the whole flower shop?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris lowered his head so Cherise wouldn\u2019t have to strain to reach him. \u201cYes, I looked it up, and these flowers all symbolize apologies, so I bought them all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise gave a sweet smile, stood on tiptoe again, and gently kissed him on the lips. \u201cThank you. I forgive you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She had already felt better when he offered to transfer all his assets to her.<\/p>\n<p>When she saw the flowers he had thoughtfully arranged, the last trace of unhappiness vanished.<\/p>\n<p>Morris, who had been worried all day, finally relaxed and leaned in to kiss Cherise deeply.<\/p>\n<p>SEND GIFT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-201","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/201","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
