And just like that, things passed. Two days after Rayburn\u2019s memorial service, Cherise sat by the bay window drawing.<\/p>\n
Thinking about the moments after meeting him and the punishment for Rita, she felt a bit unsatisfied.<\/p>\n
She thought, \u2018Is the punishment for Rita not severe enough? Or was it that Mr. Muller shouldn\u2019t have risked his life just for her to die? Actually, maybe it\u2019s a little of both!<\/p>\n
\u2018But I\u2019m not someone to make a fuss. Everyone has different choices; it\u2019s all about respect! I hope Grandma\u2019s spirit in heaven can see how it all turned out today. I wonder if she\u2019s happy or sad<\/p>\n

Her eyes moved to her canvas, which showed the lush summer banyan tree outside the window and the distant Azure Peak mountains.<\/p>\n
The colors done with the markers made the scene look almost exactly like the real one. However, there were two added figures, an old man and a young person. They seemed peacefully playing a game of chess under the large banyan tree.<\/p>\n
It was Monday; Morris had gone to work and there were no classes for her at Betrico University, so at home, it was just her and Hugh sitting by the door.<\/p>\n
The mid\u2013hills of Azure Peak were very quiet, and from the entrance downstairs, the sound of car tires rubbing against the pavement could be heard. Additionally, there were the faint sounds of Hugh talking to someone.<\/p>\n
Cherise could tell that it wasn\u2019t the sound of Morris\u2019s car returning. She thought, \u2018So, who could it be at this time?\u2018<\/p>\n
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Hugh came upstairs to inform her, \u201cMrs. Chivers, Mr. Graves is here. He says he has something to discuss with you.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe insists on saying it in person, and there\u2019s no getting rid of him. He says it\u2019ll just be a few words and won\u2019t take much of your time. If you don\u2019t want to go down, I can send him away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise lifted her gaze, a bit surprised to see Nolan coming to find her at this time. She hesitated for a moment. \u201cOkay, no worries. I\u2019ll go take a look!\u201d<\/p>\n
Downstairs, Nolan was leaning against his car, with his assistant, the half\u2013blood Torin, by his side.<\/p>\n
When Torin saw Cherise coming down, he nudged Nolan. \u201cMr. Graves, look, she\u2019s here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan glanced over and noticed her approaching, quickly standing up straight. \u201cHey, Cherise, you\u2019re here!<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard from Betrico University that you don\u2019t have classes today and knowing you like to stay home. I thought I\u2019d come by and try my luck. Didn\u2019t expect to find here!\u201d<\/p>\n
you<\/p>\n
Cherise knew he was straightforward, not having any bad intentions, and showed his feelings openly. She smiled. \u201cYeah, anything you need?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing this, Nolan took a small gift box from his pocket and handed it to Cherise. \u201cThis is from Hannia, an early wedding gift for you.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe won\u2019t be attending your wedding; it\u2019s kind of inappropriate for her to come. But she actually can\u2019t come anyway; she\u2019s not in Clusia anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise asked, \u201cReally? Did she<\/p>\n
go<\/p>\n
abroad?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 482<\/p>\n
To Cherise. Hannia was just a student from Betrico University, more like a passerby in her life.<\/p>\n
4981%\u6703<\/p>\n
However, it seemed odd that Hannia suddenly decided to go abroad when she was doing well at Betrico University. This probably had something to do with the troubles the Hawkins family was facing.<\/p>\n
Nolan nodded. \u201cYeah, she went abroad with her mom, but I\u2019m not sure which country. She said she\u2019s looking for a new life. I was asked to let you know that the Hawkins family feels sorry for you and your grandmother.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled softly as she opened the little gift box in her hand. Inside was an elegant little ring and a small card.<\/p>\n
It read, [Ms. Leach, thank you for being part of the most important moments of my life. I\u2019m leaving Clusia. [Goodbye. I\u2019ll always remember you. Whether as Duskson or M Leach, you are my idol. Thank you!<\/p>\n
[This little ring is handcrafted by me. Wishing you and Mr. Chivers a happy marriage and a lifetime of togetherness! By Hannia.]<\/p>\n
Cherise chuckled again, not expecting Hannia to be so \u201csensitive<\/p>\n
Putting the small gift box and card in her pocket, she looked up at Nolan and said, \u201cSo, your fianc\u00e9e ran off, and you\u2019re not going after her?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan chuckled. \u201cTo tell you the truth, forced feelings never lead to happiness.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was forced by her family to take her in because she was my fianc\u00e9e and she had status. It was all out of a sense of duty, really not a bit of true feeling for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cBesides, I\u2019m focused on my career now. Relationships can wait. It\u2019s important to earn money.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise understood and didn\u2019t say anything more. After exchanging a couple of simple goodbyes, she turned around with Hannia\u2019s gift and headed back to the Chivers Residence.<\/p>\n
On the ride back, Torin hesitantly asked Nolan, sitting in the back seat, \u201cMr. Graves, are you really not going to go after Ms. Hawkins?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan shook his head. \u201cYou\u2019ve been with me for so long, and you still don\u2019t know my preferences?\u201d<\/p>\n
Torin turned around, a bit surprised. \u201cAre you telling me you don\u2019t have any feelings for Ms. Hawkins at all? Then why did you let her stay in your apartment back then? Is it because it was Ms. Leach\u2019s request?\u201d<\/p>\n
Nolan nodded, simply said, \u201cYeah,\u201d and then looked out the window. \u201cStop asking so many questions and go make some money!\u201d<\/p>\n
On Cherise\u2019s side, she had barely stepped inside when Trent\u2019s call came through.<\/p>\n
Cherise answered the phone, \u201cHey, Trent!\u201d<\/p>\n
On the other end of the line, Trent said, \u201cCherise, you know there\u2019s your class tomorrow, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course!\u201d Cherise answered confidently.<\/p>\n
Trent gave a couple of short coughs. \u201cLately, you\u2019ve really been busy. Now that everything\u2019s done, you remember what I talked to you about last time, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise stopped at the stairs, thought for a moment. \u201cAbout that student, right?\u201d<\/p>\n
Trent said, \u201cYes, that\u2019s right. Great, I was just worried you\u2019d forget, so I\u2019m calling to remind you.<\/p>\n

Jan<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve arranged for the student to come to Betrico University tomorrow. I\u2019ve sent the details to your email. Take a look when you get a chance. I won\u2019t keep you any longer.\u201d<\/p>\n
With that, he hung up immediately, as if afraid Cherise would say no.<\/p>\n
Cherise raised an eyebrow at the now\u2013ended call screen, thinking she\u2019d never seen Trent act like this.<\/p>\n
