Chapter 431<\/p>\n
On the weekend, Morris finished his morning video conference and headed to the corner staircase, just as Cherise emerged from the kitchen with a steaming sandwich.<\/p>\n
A year ago, he wouldn\u2019t have even dreamed of this scene.<\/p>\n
At home, Cherise wore a warm\u2013toned, country\u2013style pajama set and had her hair up in a cute bun.<\/p>\n
Her skin looked soft and sun\u2013kissed, making her endearing.<\/p>\n
She glanced at the breakfast she made and seemed quite pleased, curling her lips into a satisfied smile.<\/p>\n
Morris, standing at the stairway corner, saw this and couldn\u2019t help but grin. No matter how tired or stressed he felt, or how large the workload, everything seemed to melt away when he saw that special someone.<\/p>\n
Downstairs in the dining area, Cherise noticed Morris staring at her from the stairway landing. A slight blush unknowingly crept onto her face.<\/p>\n
She waved at him. \u201cCome down for breakfast.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled at her words, then moved towards the dining area, and sat down next to Cherise.<\/p>\n
He moved his chair closer, right up against hers.<\/p>\n
Cherise turned her head to meet his intense gaze. \u201cSitting this close? You\u2019ve almost taken over my chair. I\u2019ll fall off soon.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Morris lifted her up and placed her on his lap. He leaned in to whisper softly in her ear, \u201cThis way, you won\u2019t fall off.<\/p>\n
\u201cTry my wife\u2019s sandwiches. They look pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said this seriously, picking up a sandwich Cherise made and taking a bite. He nodded in satisfaction, \u201cIt\u2019s really quite good.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just the two of them enjoyed the three meals a day in the sunshine was amazing. The breeze blew the white curtains of the floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling window gently, filling the room with warmth and romance.<\/p>\n
After noon, Morris and Cherise said goodbyes to each other at the door.<\/p>\n
One was heading to handle matters at the Dark Web Division, while the other had a meeting set with Mary.<\/p>\n
In the parking lot of Chivers Residence, Morris brushed away some stray hairs blown onto Cherise\u2019s cheek and checked the necklace that always hung around her neck. \u201cIf you don\u2019t like being with Mrs. Jarrett, come back early. No need to put on a show.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cIt\u2019s fine. She is quite an interesting old lady.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, Jean would be there too, and it was at Ebb & Flow, so I was not alone. It was really not a big deal.<\/p>\n
Morris nodded, feeling reassured knowing it was at Ebb & Flow<\/p>\n
He glanced at Hugh, who immediately nodded, fully understanding what Morris meant.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at the gate of Betrico University.<\/p>\n

Chapter 431<\/p>\n
Jean was waiting there for Mary\u2019s car to pass by and pick her up.<\/p>\n
She hadn\u2019t seen Mary yet, but Lisa happened to pass by.<\/p>\n
From afar, Lisa spotted Jean from her car, quickly parked, and walked over to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cJean, Jean,\u201d she called out twice while approaching.<\/p>\n
+5<\/p>\n
Jean heard the voice and responded, \u201cHey, Lisa. What are you doing here? I thought you weren\u2019t working or studying in this area?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lisa pointed across the street. \u201cI\u2019m dropping something off for Yulia at Regalwood University. What about you? Why are you<\/p>\n
here?<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, why haven\u2019t I been able to reach you lately? What\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean didn\u2019t dare to mention that Lucas advised her to keep some distance from the Quinton family, so she just smiled. \u201cI\u2019ve had so much homework lately. Been really busy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lisa took her hand. \u201cCome on, let\u2019s go find a place to shop and grab something to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean stepped back. \u201cSorry, I have to wait for Grandma Mary to pick me up. We\u2019re meeting my cousin\u2013in\u2013law for fruit wine.\u201d Lisa paused for a moment at the mention of \u2018cousin\u2013in\u2013law\u2018, realizing it meant Cherise. \u201cOh, in that case, can I join you? I have some free time now, and the more, the merrier.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean didn\u2019t know how to say no. She was the kind of person who found it hard to refuse.<\/p>\n
Saying it too directly wasn\u2019t good, but suggesting they all go together didn\u2019t seem right for the occasion either.<\/p>\n
Mary was notoriously slow, unbelievably slow.<\/p>\n
\u201cJean, what are you doing here?\u201d A voice came from behind them<\/p>\n
Jean and Lisa turned around.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, boss, what are you doing here too?\u201d Jean said, looking like she saw a lifesaver.<\/p>\n
Truman pointed to Betrico University behind him. \u201cJust here for a small project.\u201d<\/p>\n
He then glanced at Lisa. \u201cWeren\u2019t you guys supposed to come over to my place this afternoon? I\u2019m done here and was planning to head over. Why are you still here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019m waiting for Grandma Mary to give me a lift.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe always drags her feet. She\u2019s definitely running late this time too,\u201d Jean said, winking at Truman behind Lisa\u2019s back.<\/p>\n
Truman immediately understood what she meant. \u201cHa, the Jarrett residence and here are nowhere near each other. One\u2019s in the suburbs, the other\u2019s downtown. Come on, I\u2019ll give you a ride<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way, I\u2019ll give you the signed photo of that Giraffe.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust call Mrs. Jarrett later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jean looked at Truman gratefully. \u201cDid you get the signed photo Oh yeah, got it. That\u2019s awesome.<\/p>\n
\u201cThanks, bro. Lisa, I\u2019ll head out now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Jean, Jean, why are you leaving without waiting for me?\u201d Lisa called out when she saw Jean leaving without waiting for<\/p>\n
Chapter 431<\/p>\n
her.<\/p>\n
She then muttered under her breath. \u201cJean\u2019s been acting so odd lately. Haven\u2019t seen her in days, and now she\u2019s suddenly friends with Truman from Artiverse Entertainment.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe doesn\u2019t answer calls or reply to messages.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo way, are they a thing now, sister\u2013in\u2013law and Cherise?<\/p>\n
\u201cNo wonder I suddenly couldn\u2019t reach her. She\u2019s switched over to Cherise\u2019s side.\u201d<\/p>\n
