Chapter 71<\/p>\n
Compared to Melissa\u2019s side of the meltdown and chaos. Joseph appeared calm and composed after seeing the photo, but the smile on his lips was eerily sinister.<\/p>\n
He stood in an office of the Regalflow Group building, looking at the Chivers Group building not far away, absent\u2013mindedly touching his empty right hand, his eyes hollow and cold.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, he spoke coldly, \u201cMorris, you\u2019ve never experienced the agony of losing the woman you love, have you?\u201d<\/p>\n
On his desk lay a photo from Cherise\u2019s visit to Morris at Chivers Group, showing them both walking away together.<\/p>\n
Next to the photo was a personal file, containing nothing but Cherise\u2019s name and a few simple lines.<\/p>\n
Joseph scoffed and said, \u201cYour taste is mediocre at best.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris was driving with Cherise on their way to get some food, completely unaware of everything that had just happened.<\/p>\n
Cherise turned her head to look at Morris and spoke slowly. \u201cWas it you who made Zamora Comics go bankrupt?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris didn\u2019t deny it and nodded..<\/p>\n
Cherise raised an eyebrow and asked, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n
After all, Zamora Group hadn\u2019t wronged him, and from what she checked, they even had business dealings together.<\/p>\n
In the next moment, Morris explained slowly in his deep voice. Because they bullied my girl. I was just helping her get justice.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked at Morris\u2019s serious profile and chuckled softly as she lowered her head. She rolled down the window and stopped looking at Morris,<\/p>\n
Looking out the window, the summer breeze blew gently, which made people feel pleasant.<\/p>\n
It seemed like Morris had been nice to her from the start. And she seemed to be gradually getting used to his kindness.<\/p>\n
The car soon arrived at their destination. Cherise thought Morris would take her to a fancy restaurant or a unique private kitchen, but instead, he brought her to a barbecue place tucked away in an old alley.<\/p>\n
After they parked the car, they walked and chatted. \u201cDo you enjoy street food like this?\u201d Morris asked Cherise.<\/p>\n
Cherise nodded and said, \u201cStreet food has more of a homely feel so I really like it. But I didn\u2019t expect you to know about such a place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris said, \u201cBack when I was at Betrico University, Truman brought me here, and I felt it was really lively, so I started coming by occasionally for a drink and some barbecue.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever, since graduating from Betrico University, I haven\u2019t been back. I\u2019m surprised this place is still here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise looked puzzled and asked, \u201cThe famous head of the Chivers family likes eating barbecue al a street stand. I bet the girls who come to see you every day don\u2019t know that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? Are you feeling jealous? Morris asked back.<\/p>\n
Cherise was stunned for a moment and thought. Jealous? Am I? Probably not<\/p>\n
Morris found Cherise\u2019s confused expression utterly adorable, Amoment later, he spoke again. Let\u2019s go. I\u2019ll introduce you to<\/p>\n
the owner.<\/p>\n

G<\/p>\n
Cherise walked beside Morris\u2019s tall figure, their shadows overlapping under the streetlight.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not easy<\/p>\n
drive in here, and it\u2019s about a 300\u2013meter walk from where they parked to the barbecue stall.<\/p>\n
Even before seeing the BBQ stall\u2019s sign, the air was filled with the captivating aroma of spices.<\/p>\n
As the two reached the store entrance, the lady owner noticed them and joyfully ran out.<\/p>\n
82%<\/p>\n
She said, \u201cHey there, it\u2019s you! It\u2019s been like 8 or 9 years since you last came by, right? You\u2019ve gotten even more handsome, not wonder I recognized you right away.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hearing about that, Morris and Cherise couldn\u2019t help but laugh.<\/p>\n
\u201cOh, good looking people do tend to hang out with other attractive folks. Look at this young lady, and she\u2019s absolutely stunning, the lady owner admired Cherise standing next to Morris.<\/p>\n
The lady owner said in hospitality, \u201cCome on in, sweetie, have a seat and give my cooking a try. And for the young man, the usual?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris, realizing she still remembered what they liked to eat, nodded with a \u201cSure,\u201d and led Cherise inside.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t quite dinnertime yet, so Morris and Cherise were the only customers in the place.<\/p>\n
Morris looked around at the store\u2019s setup; it was exactly the same as when he was at Betrico University.<\/p>\n
A long bar counter stretched across one side, with a wall full of different bottles behind it.<\/p>\n
Inside the place, there were about ten tables. Morris and Cherise went to a table in the corner to sit down.<\/p>\n
Before long, the lady who owned the place brought out a large plate of grilled skewers.<\/p>\n
There were lamb skewers, chicken feet, potato slices, tofu skin, and chives, all mixed with spices that created a mouthwatering aroma.<\/p>\n
Cherise stared at Morris and said, \u201cMr. Chivers, I\u2019m going to start eating now!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris gave a fond smile and said, \u201cGo ahead, dig in. You can order more; there\u2019s plenty<\/p>\n
Soon, the plate was left with just dozens of bamboo sticks.<\/p>\n
Cherise patted her full stomach and looked at Morris. He not only cooked great meals himself but also always picked places that matched her taste when they ate out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-96","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/kampoengnews.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/96","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=96"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
