Chapter 212<\/p>\n
The person who stepped out of the black Panamera was none offer than Cherise.<\/p>\n
As she got out of the car, she glanced around. Never having been here before, she found the surroundings quite pleasant.<\/p>\n
Gourmet Bistro was the place she intended to visit today. She lifted her foot, ready to enter.<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t taken many steps when a lively old man in an off\u2013white suit came out. \u201cCherise, you\u2019re here. I saw you from upstairs and came down to greet you.\u201d<\/p>\n
This elderly gentleman was Rayburn. A couple of days ago, before heading from Hamolica to Betrico, he had already arranged to meet Cherise.<\/p>\n
Seeing the man in front of her, Cherise smiled slightly, \u201cRayburn, it\u2019s been a while.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, it\u2019s been a while. You look even more beautiful,\u201d Rayburn smiled at the young lady who looked just like he remembered.<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled at Rayburn\u2019s comment.<\/p>\n
After a moment, they arrived at the private room Rayburn had booked in advance.<\/p>\n
Upon entering, Cherise saw a chessboard neatly arranged on the coffee table.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, how about a game?\u201d Rayburn pointed at the chessboard as he invited Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cThis time, I won\u2019t hold back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s begin then,\u201d Rayburn laughed joyfully.<\/p>\n
And so, with their moves countering each other, the game of wits began.<\/p>\n
Although they had only met once, they seemed like old friends with years of shared understanding from afar.<\/p>\n
\u201cCheck. Rayburn, sorry, but I won again,\u201d Cherise placed a piece on the board and said lightly half an hour later.<\/p>\n
Rayburn shook his head and gave Cherise a thumbs up. \u201cYou\u2019re the most remarkable young person I\u2019ve ever encountered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise accepted the compliment calmly. \u201cWell, thank you, Rayburn, for your kind words.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn was beaming with joy, finding himself more and more fond of the young lady before him, who carried herself with a poised and confident demeanor.<\/p>\n
She had a straightforwardness that was rarely seen in young people today, giving off a very comfortable vibe.<\/p>\n
As they finished their game of chess, the waiter knocked on the door and brought the dishes in<\/p>\n
Seeing the waiter serve the food, Rayburn said to Cherise, \u201cCherise, let\u2019s eat first and then we\u2019ll talk.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s eyes sparkled at the sight of the table laden with food and her stomach rumbled. \u201cFantastic. I\u2019m going to dig in. Rayburn, you should take a seat too.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two sat across from each other, almost like equals, despite the age difference.<\/p>\n
Rayburn looked at the dishes and said, \u201cCherise, I wasn\u2019t sure what you liked, and it\u2019s been years since I\u2019ve been in Betrico. The place I fondly remember for its vegetarian dishes is Gourmet Bistro.<\/p>\n

Chapter 212<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough it\u2019s called vegetarian food, it doesn\u2019t taste like typical vegetarian dishes. I find it quite good, so I chose this place. Come on. Don\u2019t be shy. Give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise had no intention of being polite when faced with delicious food. She picked up a piece of blueberry yam and popped it into her mouth, nodding. \u201cThat\u2019s delicious. Rayburn, you should try some too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise enjoy the food, Rayburn felt at ease and began to eat as well.<\/p>\n
After the meal, the two of them sat at the dining table.<\/p>\n
Rayburn took a sip of coffee and couldn\u2019t resist speaking slowly, Cherise, if I may ask, do you have a grandmother or a similar elder in your family?\u201d He had noticed some habits during dinner that reminded him of someone from his past.<\/p>\n
With that, he waved his hand apologetically. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean anything by it. It\u2019s just that you\u2019re so similar to someone I remember. I couldn\u2019t help but ask.\u201d<\/p>\n
5<\/p>\n
Cherise felt very full and satisfied after the meal. Just like Rayburn, she took a sip of coffee to help with digestion and pursed her lips. \u201cIn my memory, there\u2019s no such person as a grandma.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn seemed a bit disappointed when he heard this \u201cI see.\u201d<\/p>\n
After a moment, Cherise added, \u201cBut I did have a grandmother. She raised me, but sadly, she passed away six months ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she spoke, a hint of longing appeared on her face.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really sorry to hear that, Cherise,\u201d Rayburn said with regret<\/p>\n
Cherise shrugged, \u201cIt\u2019s alright. What\u2019s past is past. We need to look forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rayburn nodded in agreement.<\/p>\n
The meal was full of satisfaction, laughter, longing, and a touch of sadness.<\/p>\n
