There was still a short distance to walk before they reached the place where their car was parked,<\/p>\n
Lydia linked arms with Stella. \u201cAunt Stella, the woman at Taylor Vogue today, the one who looked so stunning, turns out she\u2019s Mr. Chivers\u2018 wife? I think she has such a fiery temper, but she\u2019s very carefree and kind of contradictory. Don\u2019t you think?\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella nodded. \u201cShe\u2019s definitely eye\u2013catching. It\u2019s been a long time since I\u2019ve seen someone like her. I actually envy her personality. She lives her life exactly how she wants, saying whatever she feels, doing whatever she wants, not caring what anyone thinks.\u201d<\/p>\n
As Stella spoke, she pressed her lips together.<\/p>\n
Lydia glanced at Stella and, gathering some courage, asked, \u201cAunt Stella, do you have something on your mind? Or is there someone you like?\u201d<\/p>\n
At the mention of this, a slight blush appeared on Stella\u2019s face. She looked a little shy and then glanced at Lydia. \u201cWhat do you know? Why are you asking these kinds of things?\u201d<\/p>\n
Lydia didn\u2019t answer her, but instead, she watched as Stella gazed longingly toward the east, her expression filled with a sense of wistful loneliness, as though there was something she wanted but could never have.<\/p>\n
Lydia wondered whether there was someone in Stella\u2019s heart, someone she had kept there for all these years.<\/p>\n

The next day, before heading out, Cherise gave Morris a look of mock disdain, pouting. \u201cI almost didn\u2019t get up today. Another morning without any exercise. I can already see it. My waistline is going to be a few inches wider in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
She sighed softly.<\/p>\n
Except for Morris, no one else had ever seen the cute side of Cherise that she showed in private.<\/p>\n
Morris looked at her pouting and smiled indulgently. This was the normal behavior of a couple.<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t resist reaching out to stroke her cheek. \u201cBaby, I\u2019m sorry. I couldn\u2019t control myself. I promise I won\u2019t do it again tonight, okay?<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd by the way, you\u2019re not gaining weight at all. It doesn\u2019t matter if you did. You\u2019re always beautiful, no matter what time of day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise pretended to ignore him. \u201cI don\u2019t really believe you.\u201d<\/p>\n
At least when it came to matters of lovemaking, Cherise completely couldn\u2019t trust him.<\/p>\n
She didn\u2019t know if other people\u2019s husbands or boyfriends lost control the way Morris did.<\/p>\n
Morris was aware he was in the wrong but not fully understanding what had happened.<\/p>\n
Considered himself to be a person with strong self\u2013discipline and willpower, but whenever he got close to Cherise, he found himself irresistibly drawn to her, as if they were two magnets.<\/p>\n
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn\u2019t pull himself away from her. All he wanted was for her to stay with him, again and again, sinking deeper.<\/p>\n

Morris, worried Cherise might still be dwelling on the issue, quickly leaned in and kissed, then changed the subject. \u201cNext time, I\u2019ll control myself. By the way, do you want some beef stew? I\u2019ll pick you up at Betrico University for<\/p>\n
lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise knew Morris was deliberately changing the subject, but she laughed and then nodded eagerly. \u201cSure, lunch sounds good. In the afternoon, I promised a new student I\u2019d visit the orphanage where he lives.\u201d<\/p>\n
A flicker of confusion passed through Morris\u2018 eyes.<\/p>\n
However, since he had finally managed to calm Cherise down, he didn\u2019t press for more details, instead quickly saying, \u201cOkay, I\u2019ll see you at lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n
After they parted ways, Morris was in his car.<\/p>\n
He turned to Steven, who was sitting in the passenger seat. \u201cHave Hugh keep a close eye on Cherise\u2019s situation, especially that new guy, Hank.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd get Hank\u2019s name over to the Dark Web Division. See if they can pull up the most detailed profile on him.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood,\u201d Steven nodded in response.<\/p>\n
At noon, after Morris picked Cherise up from Betrico University for a lunch of beef stew at Marie\u2019s, he drove her back to the university.<\/p>\n
As he dropped her off at the base of the teaching building, they ran into Hank, who was riding his bicycle back from outside.<\/p>\n
As Hank passed by Morris and Cherise, he completely ignored Morris and instead stopped excitedly to greet Cherise. \u201cMs. Leach, good afternoon! Have you had lunch yet?<\/p>\n
\u201cThis morning Maeve made some pies for me to take. She baked them herself, and they\u2019re really good, with flavors you can\u2019t get anywhere else. Want one?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank began reaching into his bag to pull out the pies.<\/p>\n
Cherise quickly spoke up. \u201cNo need, I\u2019m full. You can keep them for later.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank, looking a little embarrassed, scratched his head. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll save them for when I get hungry later. Oh, by the way, don\u2019t forget about the thing we talked about yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll remind you again. Everyone at the orphanage is really excited. We all stayed up late talking about it last night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cOkay, I remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
It was only then that Cherise noticed Morris standing off to the side, watching Hank intently. Just as Cherise was about to say goodbye to him, Hank\u2019s voice rang out again. \u201cYou\u2019re Ms. Leach\u2019s husband, right?<\/p>\n
\u201cI know you. You\u2019re Mr. Chivers who is very famous! I really admire you. I\u2019ve always looked up to you as my idol. Wow, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019m actually meeting you today!<\/p>\n
\u201cSorry, I didn\u2019t notice you earlier, I was too focused on talking to Ms. Leach. My dream is to become a businessman like you, make a lot of money, and help orphanages all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hank became more and more excited, stepping between Cherise and Morris, practically blocking them.<\/p>\n

As Hank got even more worked up, he almost reached out to grab Morris\u2018 arm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-518","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/518","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=518"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
