Chapter 582<\/p>\n
Hank\u2019s voice was a bit too loud, and Cherise, worried that he might wake Claire, quickly patted his shoulder to signal him to quiet down.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe just recovered, so let\u2019s try to keep things peaceful for her,\u201d Cherise said softly. \u201cNow that you\u2019re staying here, I\u2019m counting on you to take good care of her.<\/p>\n
Leo, Crow, you two have worked hard these past few days. Once things settle down, you can withdraw<\/p>\n
Her tone was polite, which made the three of them feel a little uneasy.<\/p>\n
After speaking, Cherise glanced upstairs toward the bedroom and turned to Morris. \u201cI\u2019ll go check on her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris nodded. \u201cAlright, go ahead. I\u2019ll wait here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire\u2019s villa had recently undergone renovations.<\/p>\n
The previous design still had a vintage charm from a decade or two ago, but now, after Cherise had arranged for remodeling, the house had been transformed into a cozy, cream\u2013toned aesthetic\u2013warm, refreshing, and full of life.<\/p>\n
Cha<\/p>\n
Following the spiral staircase up, slowly made her way to Claire\u2019s bedroom.<\/p>\n
The door was only slightly ajar, not fully closed. She knocked gently twice before pushing it open.<\/p>\n
As she stepped inside, she saw Claire standing on the balcony, gazing out at the scenery.<\/p>\n
Her hair was half\u2013down,<\/p>\n
gently in the breeze. From a distance, she looked effortlessly elegant, natural and poised.<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled faintly and walked\u00a0over.<\/p>\n
Before stepping onto the balcony, she knocked twice again, afraid of startling her. In a soft voice, she called out, \u201cMom, I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire turned immer<\/p>\n
upon hearing the familiar voice. \u201cCherise, you\u2019re here. Where\u2019s Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s downstairs. Hank\u2019s here too. They\u2019re all downstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Hank\u2019s name, Claire asked, \u201cDid he bring his luggage? He said he wanted to move in with me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded. \u201cHe did. You won\u2019t be alone. Plus, Leo and Crow are right\u00a0next\u00a0door.\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire understood her daughter\u2019s intentions. The more thoughtful Cherise was, the deeper her guilt became. She waved her over. \u201cCome, sit with me. Let\u2019s have a mother\u2013daughter chat.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and took a seat beside Claire on the lounge chairs on the balcony.<\/p>\n
From a distance, the two of them sitting there created a picturesque scene\u2013a mother and daughter, both stunning in their own way. One was graceful and poised, exuding a mature beauty, while the other was fresh and radiant, full of youthful<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at Claire\u2019s slightly hesitant expression and let out a soft chuckle to lighten the mood. \u201cI\u2019d really like to know- what made you fall for Jacob back then?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing Cherise\u2019s question, Claire didn\u2019t seem uncomfortable at all. \u201cOh, why bring that up now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI must\u2019ve been blind back then,\u201d she sighed. \u201cI thought he was the most handsome guy at Broania University, and he did look really good. I figured we were a perfect match.<\/p>\n
Plus, I thought if I picked someone with good genes, our kid would turn out good\u2013looking too. Who knew he\u2019d turn out the way he did? Well, I guess that\u2019s on me.<\/p>\n
But at least I did one thing right\u2013I gave birth to such a beautiful and sensible daughter like you. And all these years, you\u2019ve been the one staying by your grandma\u2019s side.\u201d<\/p>\n
After saying that, she laughed with contentment. To be honest, Claire still felt incredibly fortunate to have such a daughter- one with both exceptional talent and impeccable character.<\/p>\n
Seeing her mother\u2019s smile, Cherise couldn\u2019t help but smile too. Claire\u2019s smile was indeed contagious.<\/p>\n
After a brief pause, Cherise spoke again. \u201cAnd what about Hank\u2019s father? What\u2019s the story there?\u201d<\/p>\n
Claire\u2019s face, which had been calm just moments ago, suddenly turned bright red. \u201cThat\u2026that\u2019s a bit hard to talk about. It was back then\u2026um\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing her mother so flustered, Cherise didn\u2019t press further. \u201cAlright, I won\u2019t push you. But sooner or later, you\u2019ll have to face\u00a0him.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve met Hank\u2019s father\u2013he\u2019s a true gentleman. I won\u2019t interfere in your matters; whatever happens is up to you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-605","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/605","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=605"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
