Chapter 181
Usually banquets don’t have a set start time.
It was already t o’clock, and the guests were just starting to arrive.
Phoebe, Tamman, Liam. Marlon and his family, Xenia with George and his wife, Trent from Betrico University, and others: had arrived.
The atmosphere was bustling.
Outside on the red carpet, Morris and Cherise’s car finally pulled up.
Leo got out of the car and opened the door for Morris.
As soon as Morris stepped out, the media lining the red carpet erupted in excited shouts, and the online viewers of the live stream were just as excited.
[Oh my god, Morris is here! I can’t believe it!]
[I can barely breathe! Look at that hairstyle, that physique–someone saves me!]
[I thought he was the kind who stayed away from events like weddings, engagements, and birthday parties. I can’t believe he actually showed up–I bet it’s for Melissa.]
He definitely came for Melissa.]
People inside the hall heard the cheers from outside. They glanced through the glass door and were surprised to see it was
Morris.
Melissa’s heart leaped with joy as she thought, “He has finally arrived.
She checked her reflection in the glass and smoothed her dress.
Even Shirley, seeing Morris, felt that no man in the world could compare to him–not even Jeffrey standing beside her.
He was like a revered figure, more esteemed than any of the guests who had arrived earlier.
Just as they prepared to step out of the lobby to greet him, Morris walked around to the other side of the car.
He opened the door and leaned down slightly.
The next moment, a graceful figure stepped out of the car.
Morris crouched to adjust her dress so she wouldn’t trip, despite it not touching the ground.
Once Cherise was steady, Morris stood up and held her hand tightly again.
The moment was so breathtakingly beautiful, almost surreal, that everything around them seemed to come to a standstill.
“Cherise, let’s go!” Morris said softly, leading her toward the hotel entrance.
As they walked, everyone around finally snapped back to reality
The cameras from the media finally focused on the two of them. The flashlights lit up Cherise’s silver, glittering dress, creating a shimmering effect that was beautifully enchanting.
Online, the reaction was electric.

Chapter 181
[Can someone tell me If this is real? Is that Cherise, the professor from Betrico University, holding hands with Mr. Chivers
I think so! I rubbed my eyes a few times to be sure.]
I have to say, those two standing together was such a breathtaking sight that I can hardly find the words to describe it
[Same! My mom just asked why I screamed. All I could say was that I was stunned. That’s my first reaction after I saw them it’s overwhelming.
[No way! This feels almost unreal. Wasn’t it said that Morris avoids women? Yer here he is, holding hands with her so naturally
[And earlier, when they got out of the car, he even helped Cherise adjust her dress. Was I the only one who noticed?]
[I saw it too! He crouched down and adjusted her dress so naturally. It’s the kind of thing so many girls dream of. [So, what’s their relationship? Don’t tell me they’re just “relatives when they’re holding hands like that!]
[Well, maybe they are, but with a special kind of family connection.]
[Both of them look so gorgeous. Am I the only one who thinks they’re perfect together? Mr. Chivers is so dignified and imposing, while Cherise is breathtakingly beautiful. Every move she makes is captivating.]
[Totally agree. The moment Cherise smiled slightly, my heart was gone. They’re absolutely perfect together. I honestly think she’s a better match for Mr. Chivers than Melissa.]
Agreed, they’re perfect together. I just didn’t dare to say it before because of all the Morris–Melissa shippers. I don’t get fans keep pushing that pairing when Morris has never said anything.]
[Brave words! You’ve got three seconds before the shippers arrive.]
And sure enough, three seconds later, the Morris–Melissa shippers flooded the comments with their opinions.
[Neither Mr. Chivers nor Cherise has said anything. Do you really think it’s so admirable to pair them together? I think Melissa is a better match for him. At least she genuinely comes from a powerful family.
[Cherise may be from the Leach family, a professor at Betrico University, and a master pianist, but since her return to Betrico, the Leach family hasn’t officially introduced her to the public. Who knows what’s really going on?]
The online debates had grown heated.
why
At the hotel entrance, Melissa, Shirley, and the others stopped in their tracks, exchanging uncertain glances.
Jacob, who had known about this before but stayed silent, now found the situation awkward.
Melissa, standing unnoticed behind them, had a twisted expression of anger on her face.
She never expected Morris to openly hold hands with Cherise in front of a live audience, disregarding her dignity entirely.
In her mind, Morris belonged at her side and nowhere else.
