Thanks to Cherise\u2019s arrival, everyone left work early.<\/p>\n
Only Morris and Cherise were left in the office. One was sitting on the couch and the other on an office chair. The office was spacious, and their eyes met, creating sparks. A few minutes later, both of them couldn\u2019t help but laugh out loud.<\/p>\n
Morris sat in the office chair, twirling the pen in his hand. He was the first to speak, \u201cHave you met Rayburn?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I have. He said he\u2019s going back to Hamolica tomorrow,\u201d Cherise nodded and said slowly.<\/p>\n
Morris looked up, thinking it was unusual for Rayburn to return so soon. It must be something important. He noticed Cherise seemed a bit reluctant. \u201cHamolica isn\u2019t far, you can visit him whenever you have time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n
Morris saw that she seemed to really like Rayburn. \u201cRayburn truly is an admirable elder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise agreed, \u201cYes when I first met him in Hamolica, I found him quite approachable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris smiled slightly and said nothing, then walked o<\/p>\n
to touch her cheek gently and gave her a soft kiss.<\/p>\n
The next day, at the entrance of Dream Residence at the foot of Azure Peak, the car going back to Hamolica was ready<\/p>\n
Originally, Rayburn was planning to go back by himself. But Rita found out and said she wasn\u2019t comfortable in Betrico and wanted to return, so she joined him.<\/p>\n
It was a different car ride for Rayburn, so it didn\u2019t make much difference to him. Rayburn stood at the door of Dream Residence, looking up at the two words above the door frame. Then he reluctantly turned around and got into the car.<\/p>\n
The car started and slowly drove away until it was out of sight.<\/p>\n
Just as Rita was stepping out of the Hawkins residence, Yulia had taken a day off from work to say goodbye to her. \u201cGrandma, take care of your health. Don\u2019t stay up too late, and make sure you get plenty of sunshine.<\/p>\n
Also, don\u2019t just eat vegetarian, make sure to balance it with some meat. I\u2019ll come back to Hamolica every weekend to visit you!\u201d Yulia thoughtfully assured Rita.<\/p>\n
Rita, full of affection, patted Yulia\u2019s hand and replied, \u201cJust take care of yourself. And remember, you\u2019re almost 23, not getting any younger. It\u2019s time to think about marriage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn today\u2019s world, while a career is important for young women, in the end, it\u2019s still about settling down with a family. If you meet someone you like, no matter who it is, don\u2019t hesitate to give it a shot.<\/p>\n
\u201cRemember, if you face any troubles, come to me first. You can\u2019t rely on anyone else!\u201d<\/p>\n
partner.<\/p>\n
Yulia nodded. Lately, Rita\u2019s thoughts had sunk in deep, making her yearn more and more for a life \u201cOkay, I\u2019m off now. You should tidy up and head to work,\u201d Rita said goodbye to Yulia. Without looking back, she got into the car and closed the door.<\/p>\n
Sitting in the car, looking through the dark glass at Yulia, who was still standing at the door, she sighed quietly, \u201cYou\u2019ve just started experiencing the hardships of the world. There\u2019s a long road ahead, and I hope you seize your opportunities well!\u201d<\/p>\n
As the car started, the entrances of Dream Residence and the Hawkins residence suddenly became deserted and empty.<\/p>\n

Yulia looked at the now deserted entrance of the courtyard, slightly biting her lip. \u201cWhy did Grandpa suddenly go back to Hamolica?\u201d She heard the other day that Jason went to see Hannibal. Maybe she heard it wrong.<\/p>\n
+5<\/p>\n
That day, she unexpectedly got her period, so she went back to the Hawkins residence. She didn\u2019t see Rayburn or Jason and she felt too shy to ask about the details. After all, everyone had their privacy.<\/p>\n
Rubbing her temples, she chuckled softly, \u201cMaybe I\u2019ve just been too stressed lately. Cherise, she just looks like the person in the photo. After all, there have been plenty of instances in medical history where people or things look alike.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I foolishly imagined a whole drama about paternity tests and so on. Or maybe, it wasn\u2019t \u00e9ven about the paternity test at all. Ha! What\u2019s there to be nervous about? I should find somewhere to relax!\u201d<\/p>\n
Life went on as if everyone\u2019s paths never crossed, yet somehow they kept crossing without us knowing. It was December, the cold wave had hit, and the north wind was howling. Soon it might snow in Betrico.<\/p>\n
Morris stood on the balcony of Glenshire Gardens 2602, dressed in a dark brown turtleneck sweater and a gray wool suit jacket, feeling the cool outdoor air.<\/p>\n
The breath from his nose turned into a white mist in the air. He pressed his lips together and took a cream\u2013colored down jacket from the closet, which someone had delivered yesterday, and wrapped it tightly around Cherise.<\/p>\n
\u201cDo I really need to wear all this?\u201d Cherise looked up and asked Morris.<\/p>\n
Morris nodded. \u201cOf course, it\u2019s cold outside,\u201d Then, he casually took a matching knit hat and put it on her head. Cherise now looked like a fluffy little snowball, absolutely adorable.<\/p>\n
