Chapter 159 Switching to Holistic Medicine? “At the very least, I should treat him to a meal and thank him personally,” Cherise mused as she set off. Meanwhile, when Cherise spotted lan, she uttered apologetically, “Hey, lan. I know there. might be some misunderstandings between Lucy and you. Please don’t mind her.” They were seated […]
Violet clenched her fists in silent frustration. Cherise returned to school to find Lucy lounging in the infirmary, engrossed in a phone game. She furrowed her brow and reached out to block Lucy’s phone screen. “Where’s Ian?” Lucy shot her a disdainful look, adjusted her phone, and continued playing. “He’s gone.” “Just like that?” Cherise
Chapter 157 My Husband Is Remarkable Cherise nodded and turned toward the door. Her mind was still fixed on the incident with Violet. “Mrs. Lenoir.” She only took a few steps when a woman’s pleasant voice came from behind. Cherise looked back. Violet was moving slowly toward her in the eye-catching heels. “I didn’t expect
Chapter 156 Crimson Heels Ian’s eyes darkened. “You won’t have the chance.” “Why wouldn’t I?” Lucy looked at him with a half-smile. “Why, do you want to be their children’s godmother. too?” He was silent. His hands on his sides were clenched tightly. He would not allow it. He refused to let Cherise have Damien’s
Chapter 155 The Benefits She Got from Him The chair that Sunny’s father was holding fell and crashed onto… Jan! A man Cherise had not seen for a long time. “Ian!” Cherise let go of Lucy’s hand and rushed to him. Someone from the crowd had helped Sunny’s father up. Cherise pulled the chair away
Chapter 154 Scaring Her into Submission Cherise rolled her eyes. She grabbed her bag and headed out of the cla*sroom. “Are you Cherise Shaw?” A middle-aged couple blocked Cherise’s way. Cherise nodded politely. “I’m Cherise. You are…” “We are Sunny’s parents.” The middle-aged woman glared at Cherise furiously. “My son is in police detention. How
Chapter 153 Dissatisfaction in the Bedroom He did not want people to find out too soon about his sight. After all, everyone a*sumed a blind man was harmless and of no competition. But once he regained his sight, all attention would be focused on him. Still… A sweet and soothing female voice sounded in his
Chapter 152 It’s Time “Let’s work hard to cure your eyes.” “Once you regain your sight, will you go to university with me?” Cherise’s eyes gleamed with sincerity. “To be honest, I hope to experience campus romance.” “That’s why you must recover soon!” Damien cleared his throat. “Mr. Kolson, start the car.” No one knew
Chapter 151 A Kind Boss Bernard was excited. “Ms. Shaw, can I really choose anywhere?” Cherise frowned and considered. “Erm… Not somewhere like Viopril Palace.” It’s too expensive. Bernard laughed. “I won’t choose somewhere that expensive. Don’t worry, Ms. Shaw,” With that, Bernard rushed out of the room to make preparations. Cherise looked at the
Chapter 0336 Chapter 172. Ava I’m already worn and tired. Don’t get me wrong, I love Noah, but I can’t wait for his party to end so that I can rest. The past few days have been busy with planning the part. That managed to keep my mind occupied, but not by much. I’m still in turmoil about what I should do. Every time I look at him, I can’t help but wonder if I should give him a chance or not. I do love him, but I’m just not sure I’ll ever truly heal and let go of everything he has put me through. Pulling myself from those thoughts, I text Kate and tell her it’s okay for her to bring Emma. Travis was obviously coming, as were Rowan’s parents and Kate. They attended every birthday Noah has ever had. It would be rude of me not to invite them because of my issues with them. Besides, Noah wanted them here. She replies immediately and says they’ll be over in around thirty minutes. I know it might be immature of me, but I wanted to test Rowan. I wanted to see if there were any lingering feelings between him and Rowan. “Mom!” Noah screams my name, scaring the life out of me. “What is it?” I ask, turning, only to find him grinning from ear to ear. Seeing him this happy makes all my troubles and worries melt away. Iris was still with Rowan and Gabe, but both she and Noah were my life. Even if I decide not to get back together with Rowan, having them in my life would be enough. “Is it time yet?” His excitement is evident, making me laugh at how he was bouncing from one foot to another. “Not yet,” I answer him. “But in a few minutes, your guests will start arriving. I’ll call you then so you can help me welcome them.” He nods his head eagerly. Happiness radiating from every pore of his body. “Okay, call me when it’s time.” I nod my head, and he rushes/upstairs, all the while muttering how he’s going to make sure he looks dashing and handsome. I laugh at that, feeling joy and happiness spreading inside me. “Ava!” I turn around to find my mom and dad entering the house. I’d decided to call them that after I went back to pick up Iris that day. It just felt right, and they were happy to hear me call them that. Theo had told me he’d missed hearing me call him dad. 112 +15 BONUS “Hi Mom, hi Dad,” I greet, hugging them. “We came early because we didn’t want to miss a single thing.” Mom tells me giddily. “This is the first time we get to celebrate our grandson’s birthday and we wanted to be here to witness everything.” “We bought gifts; I hope it’s not too much,” Dad adds. “We’ve missed so many birthdays and we wanted to make it up to him.” My eyes bulged open, staring in shock as two of their drivers walked in with mountains of presents. I know Rowan, and I bought him a lot of gifts, but this was on another level. My mouth continues to hang wide open as the drivers ask me where to place them. “Outside,” Rowan says next to me. “There is a space set aside for gifts; you won’t miss it.” I sharply turn and stare at Rowan. I didn’t even notice when he arrived. In my defense, though, there was a lot going on and a lot of noise. I didn’t hear his footsteps. “Nora, Theo,” he says, greeting my parents respectfully. “Hello, Rowan,” Mom greets back, but dad just gives him a manly nod. Iris was lying on his shoulders, completely asleep, with drool coming out of her mouth. It surprised me that, despite the noise around her, she was sound asleep. She rarely sleeps when it’s noisy. She’s the type of child who requires absolute quietness so as to fall asleep. “Seems like she’s asleep,” Mom begins. “How about we girls take Iris up for a nap while you boys have a chat?” +15 BONUS Chapter 0337 She doesn’t give any of them a chance to answer. She gently swoops Iris from Rowan’s arms, grabs my hand, and tugs me away from the two men, who looked awkward standing together. We are both silent as we head upstairs towards Iris’s room. Once we get there, mom gently lays Iris in her crib. Once she’s settled, she takes my hand, and we take a seat near the window. “So, tell me, have you made a decision about Rowan?” she asks, holding my hand. I turn to face her and shake my head. “No. I’m still not sure about things.” “I’ve been thinking about it and I think that you should start getting therapy. Letty had told me that you’d started but stopped for obvious reasons. I think that you should resume.” She begins. “You went through a lot, and obviously letting go is going to be hard. You need help and someone to guide you in your healing journey.” I go to interrupt, but she cuts me off. “I get it, my love, but you need this. Whether you choose to stay with Rowan or not, you will still need therapy. You can’t say that you’ll heal on your own, and sitting around without addressing the issue won’t help at all. You’ll try to move on, whether with Rowan or not, but the past will always drag you back until you address the problem, so please think about it” I remained quiet for a while. I get it and it does make sense. My issue is that I’m having a hard time letting go of the past. Unless I deal with what happened, I will never heal or truly move “Okay, mom, I’ll do it.”
