He was serious and stern. When he also heard the person call him \u201cMr. Leach, his previously calm expression turned dark, and his brows knitted tightly<\/p>\n<p>The urge to harm started brewing.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise looked down, biting her lip to stifle her laughter.<\/p>\n<p>Morris looked at Cherise with a puzzled expression and asked, \u201cCherise, is this your student?\u201c<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh,\u201d Cherise lifted her head only when Morris asked, looking at him calmly. \u201cYes, she\u2019s from the Architecture Department at Betrico University, Her name is Hamia Hawkins.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia nodded, \u201cYes, Mr. Leach, I\u2019m from Betrico University\u2019s Architecture Department. You can just call me Hannia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019re the one cooking at home, right? As soon as we got off the elevator, we could smell it. It\u2019s so good it could make a beauty cry and drive the neighbors crazy with hunger!\u201d Saying this, she gave Morris a thumbs up.<\/p>\n<p>After Hanna finished speaking, Morris simply stared at her silently, making the atmosphere a bit awkward,<\/p>\n<p>Hannia shivered a bit, thinking. \u2018Oh my, Cherise\u2019s family looks intimidating.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise cleared her throat. \u201cAhem. Um, Hannia. This is my boyfriend, Morris.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia was immediately stunned, letting out a couple of awkward laughs. \u201cHeh, heh, I thought you were Cherise\u2019s dad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After realizing something, she quickly corrected herself. \u201cOh. I was just joking! There\u2019s no way someone that young. handsome, and charming could be a dad. So you\u2019re her boyfriend! You guys look like a perfect match!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris\u2019s expression softened a bit. \u201cCherise, let\u2019s have dinner firs. You, sit there and get your own plate and fork,\u201d After saying that, he pointed nonchalantly at the chair on the far side of the table for Hannia.<\/p>\n<p>Hannia got a fork and plate, and as soon as she sat down, she suddenly exclaimed, pointing at Morris, \u201cOh! I know who you are now, no wonder you looked familiar. You\u2019re Morris, Mr. Chivers! The richest man in Clusia!<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve seen you on TV and in magazines. I\u2019ve also heard the gossip girls in our class talk about you two. I didn\u2019t care back then. but it turns out you guys are really together! I\u2019m deciding right now to be your biggest shipper!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Morris ignored her and used a fork to pick up a piece of beef for Cherise. \u201cCherise, give it a try.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hannia noticed the two quietly eating and remembered what Cherise had told her before leaving, so she quietly picked up her fork and began to eat. She thought the family Cherise had referred to must be Morris.<\/p>\n<p>After finishing the meal, Hannia happily wiped her mouth with napkin. Honestly, this was the best meal she\u2019d ever had. It had the warmth of home and the flavor of a gourmet chef.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, for some reason, Morris looked at her as if she were an enemy, his gaze carrying a hint of menace, making the dining atmosphere a bit tense.<\/p>\n<p>However, he was genuinely good to Cherise, spoiling her by constantly serving her food, as if he couldn\u2019t wait to feed her himself. For a moment, Hannia felt completely out of place here.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise was full too and put down her fork. \u201cHannia, are y<\/p>\n<p>you<\/p>\n<p>Cherise nodded, finally able to speak. \u201cYeah, I\u2019m very full and very satisfied. The food was great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>09:34 Sat, Dec 14 Go<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 270<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen go wash the dishes\u2013Morris suddenly said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHuh?\u201d Cherise asked in confusion.<\/p>\n<p>94111<\/p>\n<p>Morris crossed his arms, his eyes showing clear disdain. He four Hannia even more talkative than Xenia. \u201cDidn\u2019t you say you could do chores?<\/p>\n<p>His intense gaze made Cherise quickly stand up and rush to take the plates to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>After Cherise finished cleaning the dishes and the table and car out of the kitchen, she found Morris sitting alone on the couch. Next to him was a tall man who looked just like the driver who had brought them back.<\/p>\n<p>The man handed a document to Morris, glanced at her, and then left the room.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSit.\u201d Morris pointed to the couch farthest from him, motioning for Cherise to take a seat. He looked serious.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, at that moment, Morris gave Cherise the impression of being like a judge seritencing a criminal, which made her start to tremble. She awkwardly walked to the couch and sat down. \u201cUh-<\/p>\n<p>She was just about to speak when Morris interrupted her, \u201cCherise? Who is Carrick to you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise hesitated for a moment and then replied honestly, \u201cUh. Carrick is my grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeing she was telling the truth, Morris nodded. \u201cYour Hawkins family is truly noble, yet you have to couch surf.\u201d After that, his expression changed again. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter why you\u2019re here You can stay at 2601 for just tonight, but only tonight.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just hope you won\u2019t bring your complicated family drama into Cherise\u2019s life. You should go now, ask her to come over quickly. Also, be more careful with how you judge people.<\/p>\n<p>Hannia felt like a giant stone was weighing down on her heart, making her so anxious she couldn\u2019t breathe. All she could do was nod repeatedly. She thought, \u201cWhy does this guy look so intimidating when Cherise isn\u2019t around? I really admire Cherise.<\/p>\n<p>\u9c7c<\/p>\n<p>SEND GIFT<\/p>\n<p>COMMENT<\/p>\n<p>4942<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 277<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-301","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/301","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=301"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
