Chapter 358
Leo backed the car up to a wider spot about 0.1 mile away and pulled over.
Eugene drove forward and rolled down the window when his car was parallel to Morris’s. Seeing this, Leo also rolled down his window.
“Thanks, man!” Eugene politely said to him.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Leo replied, “No worries, “buddy!”
It was a brief interaction. Morris watched the SUV drive past theth and gave a small smile. “Let’s go!” The car started moving normally again, heading towards Saphira
It was just nap time. Cherise had stayed up too late reading the book Carson gave her last night, and knowing that Morris. was coming to Saphira, she planned to take a short nap for a quick recharge.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she lay down, she fell into a deep sleep. When Morris arrived, Bella informed him that Cherise was upstairs. He took off his coat, handed it to Hugh, and then quietly went upstairs
It was clear to everyone how eager he was. He gently opened the door, walked in, and looked at the small figure lying on the
bed.
In the next moment, the person under the covers shifted slightly. Morris thought he had startled her, and he froze, being careful not to breathe too loudly.
Luckily, Cherise just moved a little, showing her rosy cheeks. Seeing this, Morris let out a sigh of relief. He gently took off his jacket and walked over to the bed.
As he approached, Cherise chuckled softly without opening her eyes. The scent in the air told me you were here.
Hearing her, Morris gave a soft laugh and playfully pinched her little nose. “Your nose is quite sharp!” Cherise still didn’t open her eyes, just softly said ‘mm–hmm” and smiled.
Morris couldn’t resist any longer and lifted the blanket to get in. With his strong arms, he pulled Cherise close into his embrace.
Feeling the strength of the man in front of her, Cherise snuggled against his broad chest. “Did you miss me?”
“Yeah, I missed you. A day without you feels like three years!” he said in a deep, gentle voice.
Several hours later, in the first–floor restaurant, a group of people gathered around the dining table. Crow kicked Leo’s foot “Go call them down for dinner. Hurry up! I’m starving!”
Leo stared at the dishes on the table, swallowing hard as he shook his head. “I won’t do it. You go. I’m too scared!”
Bella glanced upstairs and laughed loudly, “Haha, everyone just go ahead and eat. No need to wait, eat while it’s hot. I saved some for them. It’ll get cold if we wait any longer!”
Hugh was the first to pick up a fork and grab a piece of meat. “Eshetly, absence makes the heart grow fonder. Who knows if they will be able to have this meal! If you guys aren’t eating, the will! It smells amazing!”
Sure enough, Hugh was right. Clothes were scattered all over the room. A slender white arm emerged from under the blanket. Occasionally, a “grumble” came from under the covers
unery” Cherise softly mumbled

“Alright, don’t go out. It’s chilly outside. Wait here for me. I’ll get you something to eat!” Morris said as he got out from under the covers.
After getting dressed and securely tucking the blanket around Cherise, he left the room satisfied.
Half an hour later, Cherise contentedly patted her stomach in the room. She looked at Morris, “Aren’t you curious why I suddenly asked you to come here?”
Morris leaned in closer, nearly touching her cheek. “Didn’t you say you missed me and wanted me to come over quickly?”
Cherise raised an eyebrow, holding his face with her small hands. After giving him a peck on the forehead, she said, “That’s one way to put it.”
Morris looked at her affectionately, pinching her checks that were flushed from eating the hot soup.
He then spoke, “Is it about my so–called real father?” When he said that, for some reason, Cherise felt a pang of sadness in
her heart.
Both he and she were similarly hurt by their original families. She nodded, “Yes, remember the last time Hannia came to Glenshire Gardens to find me?”
“I remember,” Morris said after thinking for a moment.
Cherise acknowledged with an “Hmm” and continued seriously When she came to see me, she just happened to be affected by witchcraft. It was right there on her neck.
There are two ways to implant witchcraft. The first is face–to–face, inserting the cursed bug into the body through direct
contact
The second method is for those who’ve achieved advanced spiritual practice to control it remotely using ancient rituals and someone’s birth details.
“Harold is in such a hurry to find your birth details. I suspect his only goal is to curse you with it.”
Hearing this, Morris frowned unhappily.
Cherise reached out, touching his face. “Your hacking skills are better than mine. Hiding your own information should be
easy.
“If he can’t find your information, he will surely come to you personally. That’s why I’m worried. If I’m not by your side and you get cursed, the consequences could be unimaginable.”
Hearing this, Morris took a deep breath. “Before I left for the airport today, he indeed came to see me. Not just him, there was someone else too.”
“Oh?” Cherise said, a bit puzzled, “Who was it?”
“Yulia of the Muller family”
