\nReturn Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 26<\/p>\n
Chapter 26<\/p>\n
Marie Frederick, a cheerful woman in her fifties with a plump figure, was all smiles as she spotted Morris and Cherise entering her restaurant,<\/p>\n
\u201cMorris, welcome she exclaimed, her eyes twinkling with delight. \u201cYou usually drop by with the boys or by yourself, but today you\u2019ve got a lovely companion. This is a first<\/p>\n
Her hands clapped in excitement as she took in Cherise. \u201cAnd is this stunning young lady your partner? I swear, I\u2019ve never seen such a beauty. You two are quite the pair.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, not used to such compliments, blushed a sweet shade of pink, her cool demeanor momentarily replaced by a charming shyness..<\/p>\n
Morris, with a gesture, made the introductions. \u201cMarie, meet Cherise.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGlad to meet you, Marie, Cherise greeted, her voice polite but warm.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou, too, Cherise, Marie responded, her tone full of affection<\/p>\n
Morris, breaking from his usual stoic self, gave Cherise a gentle, playful smile. \u201cMarie, she\u2019s not my partner yet,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Marie let out a knowing chuckle. \u201cNot yet, huh? I\u2019ve been there, she said, linking her arm with Cherise\u2019s. \u201cYou know, I\u2019ve seen Morris grow from a little tyke, and you\u2019re the first girl he\u2019s ever brought around.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise, feeling the genuine warmth from Marie, didn\u2019t hesitate to link arms back, a sign of her acceptance and comfort.<\/p>\n
Marie\u2019s excitement was clear as she led Cherise and Morris to the cozy dining area. \u201cGreat spot and special beef stew for both. Make yourselves comfortable,\u201d she said, her voice as warm as the meal she was serving<\/p>\n
Marie smiled and went to the kitchen, letting Cherise and Morris soak in the room\u2019s warm ambiance and the tangy peppermint aroma.<\/p>\n
The space\u2019s old\u2013fashioned appeal was enhanced by wooden windows and a stool with a vase of booming flowers. A round wooden table in the middle provided a welcoming place for a pleasant meal<\/p>\n
Morris pulled out a chair for Cherise, who smiled and thanked him as she sat down.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve known Marie since my mom was with us. She started this place after my mom\u2019s passing. Marie\u2019s always on the go, but she means well,\u201d Morris shared, eager for Cherise to understand and appreciate Marie\u2019s lively character.<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s eyes sparkled as she replied, \u201cI can see that She\u2019s lovely and I really like her.\u201d She was touched by Morris\u2019s openness about his history.<\/p>\n
Marie\u2019s return was signaled by a knock, and she entered with a steaming plate of beef stew that promised comfort and<\/p>\n
fulfillment.<\/p>\n
Cherise\u2019s face lit up with joy as the dish was placed before them and Morris\u2019s warm smile showed his appreciation for Cherise\u2019s reaction.<\/p>\n
The stew was a visual delight, with chunks of tender potato and carrots nestled among the succulent beef. The aroma was rich and inviting making Cherise\u2019s mouth water as she anticipated the flavors of the hearty dish.<\/p>\n
Marie placed the stew on the table, mentioned a brief errand, and left quietly.<\/p>\n
Noticing Cherise\u2019s excitement, Morris casually scooped up a forkful of beef and vegetables for her. \u201cFeel free to dig in,\u201d he said, his tone relaxed. \u201cEnjoy the flavors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cherise\u2019s smile broadened as she savored the beef, a harmonious mix of spice and richness, with the meat cooked to a tender ideal. The side dishes were equally delightful, adding a crop freshness that paired well with the zesty main course.<\/p>\n
\u201cAmazing.\u201d Cherise said, her mouth full, as she motioned for Morris to eat. \u201cSo happy you brought me here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris grinned as he watched Cherise enjoy her meal, and when he tasted the beef stew, he found it exceptionally tasty compared to his past experiences here.<\/p>\n
Soon after, the spicy stew had Cherise\u2019s forehead lightly beaded with sweat, and her cheeks took on a rosy hue. Her lips, already a gentle rose color, appeared even more inviting.<\/p>\n
Morris was utterly charmed, with a growing urge to treasure Cherise\u2019s presence as a private delight<\/p>\n
