Just a few side dishes would make me happy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can I even eat this? It\u2019s making me gain weight and it\u2019s not nutritious at all.\u201d Reluctantly, she took a bite of the bread. Cherise chuckled. After spending a few days with Mary, Cherise had a pretty good idea of her personality.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes Mary spoke and acted without thinking too much, saying whatever came to mind.<\/p>\n<p>It was clear that Mary used to live happily with her family. She was simple, straightforward, and kind.<\/p>\n<p>Mary was a genuinely kind person. Unfortunately, her association with the Quinton family was unfortunate, as they consistently exploited her.<\/p>\n<p>After spending time with Cherise, Mary felt she was starting to rely on Cherise a lot.<\/p>\n<p>She was someone who handled situations calmly, not at all like a woman in her twenties.<\/p>\n<p>Mary didn\u2019t feel like an elder who could support Cherise at all.<\/p>\n<p>I really just twenty<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAre Cherise?\u201d Mary asked, puzzled.<\/p>\n<p>Feeling her words inappropriate, Mary quickly explained, \u201cWell, I\u2019m not saying you look old. You\u2019re young and pretty.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean you look more mature and steady than those at your age which is really impressive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since yesterday, Mary had started calling Cherise\u2019s name intimately.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise nodded and replied, \u201cTo be accurate, I\u2019ll be turning twenty\u2013one tomorrow. It\u2019s been exactly a year since I came to Betrico, and tomorrow is my birthday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Upon hearing that, Mary exclaimed, \u201cOh my, you\u2019re going to spend your birthday here? How can that be? We\u2019ve only got bread here.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod, no!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mary sighed as she added, \u201cWhen will we finally get out of here? miss Lucas. We\u2019ve been married for so many years, I\u2019ve never been away from him even for half a day.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI even used to let him know when I was going to the toilet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat about you? Do you miss Morris? It\u2019s really unfair to make you spend your birthday here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cherise looked at Mary and answered firmly, \u201cI do miss him.<\/p>\n<p>and<\/p>\n<p>After saying that, Cherise couldn\u2019t help but chuckle shyly, and stud in a voice only Mary could hear, \u201cI really do miss him. He\u2019s probably having a tough time these days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo worries, I\u2019ll do my best. I\u2019ll try to take you out for my birthday party tomorrow. What do you want to eat? I\u2019ll buy it for you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mary exclaimed, \u201cReally? That sounds wonderfull<\/p>\n<p>1\/3<\/p>\n<p>10:08 Tue, Dec 24 G GG.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 446<\/p>\n<p>89%<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like some salad, fish and chips, and pizza.\u201d At that moment, Mary inexplicably felt a great deal of trust in Cherise.<\/p>\n<p>Mary remembered the first time Rita said Cherise looked like Megan, and she felt a bit resistant to the comparison back<\/p>\n<p>then.<\/p>\n<p>Now Mary felt completely silly for her initial reaction, believing in rumors so readily. She had realized Cherise was such a nice woman.<\/p>\n<p>When Cherise knew Mary had been kidnapped, she followed without a thought for her own safety. Cherise could have just ignored Mary, but she didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Cherise stayed by Mary\u2019s side, eating bread, and comforting her<\/p>\n<p>*****<\/p>\n<p>Morris got back to work at the Chivers Group.<\/p>\n<p>He had only managed to take a thirty\u2013minute nap, which was the only rest he had gotten in the past few days, yet he seemed very energetic now.<\/p>\n<p>Steven and Leo walked in and reported, \u201cMr. Chivers, everything\u2019s set. We\u2019re just waiting for tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe got some news regarding Rita\u2019s whereabouts this morning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat news?\u201d Morris asked, with a frown.<\/p>\n<p>Steven handed Morris a photo and said, \u201cShe was taking Yulia to the airport. The travel itinerary shows Yulia was going to Fresburg.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe investigation revealed that Yulia had already applied for a PhD in Fresburg, likely heading there for further studies.\u201d Morris frowned again, not eager to hear more about Yulia. He asked, \u201cIs that all?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Steven nodded.<\/p>\n<p>Morris thought seriously for a moment. It was obvious that Rita wasn\u2019t someone who would easily back down. He suspected that Rita, known for her cunning and devious nature, was plotting something to undermine him. Regardless, Morris felt compelled to take precautions.<\/p>\n<p>With a finger on the mouse, Morris checked a photo taken a few days ago showing Rita entering a club. Morris only knew Rita was going to meet a man, but just a part of his clothing was visible, not his face. Morris wondered who the man could be, and he felt the person strangely familiar.<\/p>\n<p>The man who met Rita was very cautious, managing to evade the cameras despite the extensive surveillance<\/p>\n<p>Morris pondered, \u2018Could it be she met with Ghost Hand?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Various possible guesses rushed through Morris\u2018 mind.<\/p>\n<p>After a while, he got up and told Steven and Leo, who were still anding next. I\u2019m going to the Dark Web Division, Check all the preparations thoroughly again.<\/p>\n<p>Also, make sure Truman and Xenla are well prepared, Tomorron is Cherise\u2019s birthday<\/p>\n<p>Prepare plenty of delicious food for her to celebrate it<\/p>\n<p>10:08 Tue, Dec 24 GGG<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 446<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHold it at the Chivers Residence, not at Ebb &amp; Flow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is her first birthday in Betrico, and I need to bring her home to celebrate it together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After giving these instructions, Morris walked straight out of the office:<\/p>\n<p>Steven and Leo didn\u2019t know what to say, so they just exchanged a glance, shook their heads together, and sighed.<\/p>\n<p>SEND GIFT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-469","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/469","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=469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
