Chapter 221
These words made Rayburn’s eyes light up with admiration. He thought, ‘It is impressive that she can even hide her genes He said, “I looked into her background. She has been through a lot.
“Growing up without her biological parents by her side, yet turning out so remarkable, is truly rare. The Leachs don’t have such luck. Thankfully, Morris is with her now; at least she has someone she can rely on.”
Jason wasn’t too pleased upon hearing this. He said, “But the Chivers family is full of wolves and tigers scheming in the shadows. They only hold back because of Morris’s current strength.
“Moreover, Morris’s made quite a few enemies over the years. What if Cherise is part of the Muller bloodline? Could we still let her be with someone always in danger?”
Jason’s words made Rayburn ponder deeply. He mumbled quietly, “If she is indeed from the Muller family”
Then, he looked up at Jason and said, “Regardless of whether Cherise is of our family bloodline, since she’s with Morris now, whatever happens in the future, our family must protect her.
“I’ve already missed out on true love once, and I don’t want to see lovers be separated due to family issues again, especially when she’s such a lovely girl and looks like Megan.
“No matter what, I’ve lived a long life, and my judgment of people isn’t wrong. When I saw how Morris looked at Cherise today, I can tell he loves her.”
Rayburn sipped coffee and continued, “As for Cherise looking like your grandma, I’ve seen the photo of Cherise’s grandma; they’re not the same person.
“But hearing you say that, I can’t help but hold on to a bit of hope. Let’s wait and see for now.” After speaking, he had a hint of hope in his eyes.
Jason nodded, agreeing that this matter couldn’t be rushed. If there were a blood relation between them, it would be more understandable. But if there wasn’t, even that hope might be lost.
Next to the Dream Residence was the Hawkins residence. It was also brightly lit at this time.
Rita had returned slightly earlier than Yulia. She was now sipping coffee on the coffee table. Seeing Yulia return, she gently called, “Yulia,.come have a cup of coffee.”
Yulia walked over and sat by the coffee table. She called out, “Grandma.”
“You’re back. Has everyone left?” Rita asked.
Yulia nodded and said, “They’ve all left.”
Rita poured Yulia a cup of coffee and said, “That Cherise. Is she a professor at Betrico University? Is she the same person you mentioned looking like the one in the photo in the Hamolica study?”
“Yes, Grandma, she is and she’s truly exceptional,” Yulia answered honestly.
Rita nodded and said, “Is she the one who beat you in the herbal medicine competition?”
Yulia paused momentarily. Then she added, “Yes, that’s her. Her knowledge and skills in traditional medicine are outstanding.”
Upon hearing this, Rita gave Yulia a slightly disapproving look. She said, “Yulia, it’s fine to recognize others‘ strengths, but don’t belittle yourself.”

Chapter 221
After speaking, she touched her bracelet and slowly continued, Morris stands out as an exceptional person, don’t you think?” She then looked directly at Yulia, conveying a subtle sense of pressure.
Yulia stumbled over her words, finding it hard to express her thoughts. Indeed, when she first saw Morris in her dad’s office at Yase University, she was taken aback by his remarkable appearance,
Even though Morris wasn’t as mature and composed back then as he was now, he already had a captivating charm.
Rita noticed Yulia’s thoughts and said, “What’s wrong? Are you too shy to speak up?”
Yulia thought for a moment and replied, “No, I mean, Morris is really impressive–both mature and charming.
“Then you should give it a try,” Rita immediately responded after Yulia finished speaking.
Yulia’s eyes widened in surprise. She said, “Grandma, didn’t you see it? He has a girlfriend, Cherise, and they’re so close that there’s no room for anyone else in their world.
“When I went to say hello to him, he only remembered my parents and didn’t remember me at all.”
Rita remained unfazed a she said, “Yulia if you like him, you should pursue him. We doctors believe that the process doesn’t matter as long as the result is good. Besides, you haven’t even tried yet.
“How will you know if you can’t succeed if you don’t give it a try? You have to believe in yourself, you’re wonderful, and you deserve the best man.”
Yulia lowered her head, biting her lower lip. Morris was indeed her motivation to get into Yase University; he was the first boy she ever had a crush on.
She wanted to put aside her morals to confess to him, to fulfill her teenage dream.
There seemed to be two conflicting voices in her mind. One was an angel of justice, and the other a dark devil.
The angel of justice said, “No way, he has a girlfriend. You can’t ruin their relationship. You can like him in your heart.”
The dark devil said, “What are you afraid of? It’s just a confession. Don’t you want to fulfill your teenage dream? How will you know if you don’t try, you coward?”
