Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 102

Chapter 102 

That night, Cherise had dinner with her team, not returning to enshire Gardens until after 11 p.m.. 

As soon as she unlocked the door with her fingerprint, the door to 2002 across the hall clicked open. 

When Cherise turned her head, she saw Morris standing in the doorway in light gray loungewear. 

When he saw Cherise walk over, his expression seemed a bit serious. 

Morris slowly walked to Cherise and stood close to her, asking, “Cherise, you’re back! Why didn’t you reply to my messages” 

Cherise looked at Morris’s serious expression and instantly felt guilty. She looked like a child who had made a mistake. 

Earlier that afternoon, Morris had messaged her on WhatsApp, but she got busy and forgot to reply. 

Cherise bit her lip, lowered her head, and gently tugged on Morris’s sleeve 

Cherise explained, “Morts, I got so busy tonight that I forgot to reply. I’m sorry. I promise I’ll respond to you quickly next time. 

Seeing Cherise’s adorable expression, Morris couldn’t help but feel his earlier agitation fade away. 

His conflicted heart unexpectedly found peace. 

Morris gently reached out and touched Cherise’s cheek. 

In a gentle voice, he said, “It’s okay, Cherise. I was just worried about you. 

“It’s late now, so go to bed. You 

You have classes to attend tomorrow! 

Cherise nodded and said, “Okay, good night!” 

Morris stood at the door, watching as Cherise was about to close it. 

To his surprise, the next moment, Cherise opened the door again and stepped closer to Morris. 

Looking up at him with her blushing face, she asked, “Morris, can I hug you?” 

Morris laughed and opened his arms, pulling Cherise into a warm embrace. 

He had wanted to do this as soon as he saw her. 

However, he held back, worried she might think he was too forward. 

Morris didn’t expect Cherise to take the initiative herself. 

He nuzzled his chin against Cherise’s head and gently said, “You can hug me whenever you want! Only you!” 

Cherise leaned against his strong chest, sweetly smiling and nodding in satisfaction. 

They had a good night’s sleep 

The following dawn, two startling announcements rocked the community of Clusia.
