Chapter 453<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Cherise and Morris were already on their way back to the Chivers Residence.<\/p>\n
Originally, they wanted to invite Mary to dinner, but considering her current mood, they decided against it.<\/p>\n
Once Mary was feeling better, they would find some time to visit her.<\/p>\n
In the car, Cherise glanced shyly at Morris and asked, \u201cWhy do you keep staring at me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris reached out and gently patted Cherise\u2019s head, saying, \u201cI\u2019ve really missed you these past few days.\u201d<\/p>\n
As he spoke, he edged closer to Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise knew what Morris was up to and stopped him, saying, \u201cI haven\u2019t showered in days. Don\u2019t hug me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her remark didn\u2019t bother Morris at all, and he kept moving towards her.<\/p>\n
When Cherise was nearly pressed against the car window, Morris chuckled, wrapped his arms around her waist, and lifted her onto his lap.<\/p>\n
Not having been around Morris for days, Cherise felt a little shy being held like that.<\/p>\n
She whispered, \u201cI haven\u2019t taken a shower in days. I must smell terrible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris tightened his hold on her waist and leaned his head into the curve of her neck out of habit, saying, \u201cYou still smell so nice. I really like it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Steven and Hugh, who were sitting in front, automatically ignored Morris and Cherise\u2019s flirtatious banter, seeing it as normal.<\/p>\n
Just like when they came here, Leo wasn\u2019t in the same car with them.<\/p>\n
Since Kitten had been on the way all day, Morris asked Leo to take it straight back<\/p>\n
to<\/p>\n
Cars<\/p>\n
to avoid tiring it out.<\/p>\n
After a few hours of driving from the Yoderia Basin, they finally returned to the Chivers Residence as the night fully set in.<\/p>\n
Even though she hadn\u2019t showered in days, Cherise still fell asleep in Morris\u2018 arms.<\/p>\n
Although she was feeling a bit hungry, she slept soundly when surrounded by Morris\u2018 familiar scent.<\/p>\n
Now, Cherise looked energetic.<\/p>\n
The car came to a steady stop, and Morris helped Cherise get out<\/p>\n
Unlike usual, the Chivers Residence was especially quiet tonight, and the streetlights at the entrance were turned off.<\/p>\n
Except for the car headlights, the surroundings were dark.<\/p>\n
Cherise couldn\u2019t help but ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s going on? Have we been saving electricity while I was away?\u201d<\/p>\n
Then she sniffed the air and said, \u201cNo way. I smell grilled steak.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this just my imagination because I\u2019m so hungry?\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Cherise\u2019s adorable puzzled look, Morris couldn\u2019t help bu reach over and pinch her cheek, which seemed thinner. He<\/p>\n

Upon hearing those words, they were startled by a cracking sound, followed by a burst of colorful fireworks illuminating the dark sky..<\/p>\n
Then, more followed one after another.<\/p>\n
Finally, several fireworks shot up together and burst into the sky at the same time.<\/p>\n
At that moment, the previously dark sky was brilliantly illuminated with the words \u201cHappy Birthday, Mrs. Morris!\u201d spelled out in large letters.<\/p>\n
Cherise exclaimed in surprise and looked at Morris with delight.<\/p>\n
She smiled sweetly, and her eyes mirrored the vibrant colors of the fireworks.<\/p>\n
As the fireworks vanished, a ring of twinkling lights suddenly lit up behind Morris and Cherise at the Chivers Residence.<\/p>\n
Then the tune of the birthday song began to play.<\/p>\n
Truman and Xenia appeared from the corner. Truman carried a sign reading \u201cHappy Birthday, Cherise!\u201d while Xenia held a beautiful cake with candles.<\/p>\n
Cherise didn\u2019t expect to receive such a big surprise as soon as she got back.<\/p>\n
She quickly said, \u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman and Xenia walked over to Cherise and said, \u201cHappy Birthday, Cherise! You\u2019ve had a hard time these past few days. Welcome back home!\u201d<\/p>\n
Truman beamed and added, \u201cCherise, Morris told me you\u2019ve been quite tired recently and need some rest at home.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we decided to keep it simple and cozy, just Xenia and me.<\/p>\n
\u201cGo on, blow out the candles. Then let\u2019s head to the backyard. I\u2019ve prepared lots of fresh barbecue goodies.<\/p>\n
\u201cCan you smell that fragrance? It\u2019s amazing. My grilling skills are just as good as Morris.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia chimed in, \u201cYeah, come on, Cherise, blow out the candles. You must be starving after these past few days, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise rubbed her stomach, catching the scent of grilled beef wafting over from the backyard. Indeed, she was quite hungry.<\/p>\n
Morris looked at Cherise, leaned in, and whispered in her ear, \u201cSweetheart, today is your birthday and the first one we\u2019re celebrating together. I\u2019m so glad I brought you home for it.<\/p>\n
\u201cMake a wish and blow out the candles, and I\u2019ll grill you a steak.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded, looking gratefully at the group, clasping her hands together. She murmured, \u201cI hope we all stay safe and everything goes smoothly.\u201d<\/p>\n
After speaking, Cherise gently blew, and the candle flame flickered out.<\/p>\n
Then the Chivers Residence lit up, becoming just as splendid as always.<\/p>\n
Seizing the moment, Morris leaned down in front of Truman, Xenia, Hugh, and Steven, and couldn\u2019t resist planting a kiss on Cherise\u2019s rosy lips.<\/p>\n
The four onlookers, though used to the sight, couldn\u2019t help but gape with wide eyes.<\/p>\n

Turning around, they quickly dashed towards the backyard.<\/p>\n

Morris continued until Cherise\u2019s stomach growled, causing them both to laugh and breaking their tender moment. They were reluctant to part.<\/p>\n
