Chapter 380<\/p>\n
Once everyone had left, Lucas and Mary finally sat down. Mary looked tired.<\/p>\n
Jean poured her a glass of water. \u201cGrandina, have some water to calm down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas shook his head at her. \u201cYou\u2019re always tough at home and tough with me. But as soon as you\u2019re outside, around your maternal family, you become a pushover.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean chimed in. \u201cYeah, Grandma, don\u2019t be so down.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary sighed. \u201cBut they\u2019re my family. How could I not care? They re my real brother and sister\u2013in\u2013law. I\u2019ve got a tough spot too. Cherise has quite a temper too.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean\u2019s eyes widened at the words, \u201cGrandma, it\u2019s not fair for you to speak like that about Cherise. I admit I also misunderstood her at first and thought she wasn\u2019t sensible. But when things shifted, it was like a wake\u2013up call, a real eye-<\/p>\n
opener.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s truly impressive and cool, no airs about her, way better than most women.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas nodded in agreement. \u201cJean\u2019s right. Cherise is quite a special person. I am so fond of her. It\u2019s rare to see such a free- spirited and generous woman.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s remarkable. Morris is lucky the heavens finally smiled at him. The Quinton family, the less contact the better. For so many years, they\u2019ve treated you like a fool and have gained enough benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary pressed her lips together, muttering under her breath, clearly unhappy with the tension between her natal and marital families, \u201cHumph! All you care about is that person.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas didn\u2019t hear it clearly. \u201cWhat are you mumbling about?\u201d<\/p>\n
Mary said, \u201cNothing. Fll be more careful. Alice can be tough, but she\u2019s still my sister\u2013in\u2013law. I\u2019ll talk to Matthew about it later\/ I\u2019m aware of the rest. I\u2019m caught in the middle, so I\u2019ll tread lightly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucas and Jean shared a glance, shook their heads, and remained silent.<\/p>\n
What happened at the Jarrett residence had no impact on Cherise. For the rest of the holiday, she ate and drank in peace, feeling pretty relaxed.<\/p>\n
Today, she hung out with a couple of friends. Tomorrow, she was with Morris, enjoying their romance, and the day after, she was off to Carson\u2019s island to study and play with the cute animal Life had been a real treat<\/p>\n
But then, the other day, Amy\u2019s father got fired for neglecting his duties And Alice was grounded at home by Matthew after her notorious incident at the Jarrett residence.<\/p>\n
On the last day of the holiday. Nolan and Hannia dropped by to see Morris and Cherise. Not wanting to intrude, they stayed just long enough to chat before making moves to leave.<\/p>\n
Before leaving, Hannia tugged on Cherise\u2019s arm, saying, \u201cEver since you helped me remove that cursed worm, I\u2019ve felt incredible, like a weight\u2019s been lifted and I\u2019m worry\u2013free! You\u2019re amazing. You seem to know everything.<\/p>\n
Nolan chimed in, \u201cOf course, She\u2019s my junior.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hannia rolled her eyes at him. \u201cYou are so smug. Even Mr. Chivers isn\u2019t boasting like that.<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced at Morris and found him quite calm. She held as hand with a smile and said to Hannia, \u201cSchool starts in a<\/p>\n

week, so try not to wander around.\u201d<\/p>\n
There might be some trouble in the Hawkins family lately.<\/p>\n
Hannia understood what Cherise meant, nodded, and said, \u201cGot it. Don\u2019t worry.\u201d<\/p>\n
They waved goodbye to each other, and then Nolan\u2019s car drove out of Chivers Residence.<\/p>\n
Cherise and Morris still held their hands tightly together. \u201cMr. Chivers, come on. Teach me how to cook! I\u2019m hungry,\u201d Cherise said softly, her hands tightly clasped together.<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled, \u201cHmm? I can cook for you. Why the sudden interest in learning to cook?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCome on. Just teach me. You\u2019re such a great cook. I want to learn. I want to learn so I can cook for you.\u201d Cherise said playfully, nudging Morris\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n
This trick always worked on Morris, melting his heart. \u201cAlright, let\u2019s get you cooking.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was Christmas, a time of joy for many, but not at the Hawkins residence.<\/p>\n
After the first couple of days with many visitors, the Hawkins family locked up their house for the rest of the week, leaving many friends and relatives who had come to offer their good wishes shut out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on with the Hawkins family?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOn Christmas, why would the Hawkins family shut their doors? There\u2019s no news of anything bad happening to them.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s really not festive at all. Usually, their house is bustling on Christmas, but today, even the side gate is shut.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat a bummer. Let\u2019s just get out of here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nobody knew what happened to the Hawkins family, not even the servants would talk. It was only known that apart from the first couple of days, the Hawkins residence had been locked up since then.<\/p>\n
