As soon as Morris finished speaking, Cherise’s face turned
shade of red, and she was too shy to look Morris in the eye
She stammered, “Um, well, I have classes tomorrow, so I should get going”
With that, Cherise opened the door behind her and dashed out in a flash.
Morris was left standing there, raising an eyebrow with a smile. He murmured, “What an adorable kitten!”
The next day was Monday.
Betrico University scheduled Cherise’s Monday classes for the afternoon.
After Cherise finished her morning exercise and got back, she stepped out of the elevator on the 26th floor and immediately heard a familiar voice coming from Morris‘ house.
It was loud and full of energy.
Before Cherise could get closer, Phoebe, wearing a colorful dress, came running out.
Her voice reached before she did. “Cherise, my darling! My darling Cherise, you’re back! I saw you on the surveillance in Morris‘ room and ran out to find you. Hope I didn’t scare you!”
Phoebe ran over to Cherise.
Cherise greeted Phoebe politely, “Good morning, Mrs. Chivers. What brings you here?”
Phoebe was thrilled to see Cherise, giggling as she said, “I heard from Steven and the others that you and Morris are dating now. I’m so happy it’s you, dear Cherise, so I came to see you.”
Cherise smiled shyly upon hearing that.
Phoebe grinned and added, “Morris must have been a saint in his past life.”
Cherise was puzzled and asked, “Oh! Why
is that?”
Phoebe said, “Otherwise, how else would heaven arrange for him to have such a wonderful girlfriend in this life?
Cherise couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
AL
this time, Morris walked out from inside the house and said, Grandma, don’t be too enthusiastic and scare her away”
“Oh, that won’t happen. My darling Cherise isn’t the average girl Phoebe said proudly.
Then she pulled Cherise’s hand and said, “Come on, Cherise, I’ve brought lots of tasty breakfast. You must be hungry after your morning exercise, so come in while it’s still hot”
Morris glanced at Cherise and stopped Phoebe, saying, “Grandma, Cherise just finished her morning workout. Let her freshen up first“..
Phoebe responded enthusiastically. “Alright, my dear Cherise. I be waiting for you here.”
Cherise nodded and gave Morris an appreciative wink as she passed by him and walked into her house,
Morris couldn’t help but chuckle

Then he turned around to accompany Phorhe back to his house
Just as Morris sat down on the couch and picked up the newspaper, Phoebe wandered over.
She exclaimed, “Hey, good boy, you never mentioned anything to me. I’m genuinely surprised that you’ve set your sights on the best girl!
“You really make me proud.
“Considering your usual indifference towards girls and your lack of romantic inclination, Cherise’s choice of you suggests that the Chivers family must indeed be blessed with good fortune!“.
Hearing this. Morris raised an eyebrow, seemingly in a good mood, and said to flatter Phoebe, “It’s all thanks to your great
genes
Phoebe laughed heartily and said, “Of course! Back in the day when I pursued your grandpa, it didn’t even take a week before he insisted on marrying me!”
Morris slapped his forehead, realizing that his praise had swelled Phoebe’s pride.
Soon. Cherise freshened up and came over in a comfortable white casual dress.
Phoebe stared at her and felt delighted.
At that moment, Enya emerged from the kitchen, laden with an assortment of breakfast items. She brought out risotto. pastries, coffee, greens, fruits, oatmeal, and various other dishes, creating a lavish and varied breakfast spread.
“Come on, Cherise darling, come and see the breakfast that Enya prepared for you. See if you like it!” Phoebe said warmly. Seeing a table full of delicious breakfast, Cherise smiled gratefully and said. “Thank you, Mrs. Chivers, and thank you, Enya. The breakfast looks delicious. I really like it.
Phoebe patted Cherise’s hand and said, “Hey, why are you still calling me Mrs. Chivers? Just call me Grandma as does. It’s more endearing!
Morris
“Come on, give it a try, my good girl!”
Cherise nodded, feeling warm inside, and sweetly called out, “Grandma.”
Phoebe’s eyes instantly reddened. She had gotten through these years alone, with only Morris around.
Now, seeing Morris, who had grown up without the love of his parents, be with such a wonderful girl, Phoebe couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
Standing behind them, Morris saw this heartwarming scene and smiled happily,
They enjoyed a breakfast filled with warmth and joy.
