Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 553

Chapter 553

After the wedding, Cherise and Morris were completely exhausted.

The next day, the two of them broke their usual habit of waking up early and showed no signs of getting out of bed even by noon.

They didn’t think about anything else–today was meant to be a day just for the two of them, a space that belonged entirely to them alone.

As the bright sunlight streamed into the room, Cherise slowly opened her sleepy eyes. She stretched lazily and turned to look at Morris, who was still fast asleep beside her. A soft smile curved her lips.

She smiled sweetly, full of contentment. Perhaps her happiness was infectious, or maybe Morris had already been awake- either way, he suddenly let out a low chuckle and pulled Cherise into his arms.

“Honey, after so many days, I finally had a good night’s sleep last night. It feels amazing to have you here,” Morris said.

Cherise instinctively tightened her arms around Morris’s strong waist. “Yeah. You worked so hard for this wedding. No matter what the future holds, we’ll go through it together. From now on, you have to take good care of me, okay?” Hearing this, Morris playfully pinched her nose. “Silly girl, as long as I’m here, I’ll make sure you live a happy life.”

Feeling satisfied, Cherise nuzzled against Morris’s chest and, with a hint of shyness, murmured, “I want to do something we planned before. Can we?”

Morris understood instantly. He kissed her forehead and, with a voice full of indulgence, whispered, “Of course.”

Soon, the bedroom in the Chivers Residence became just as heated as the midsummer day outside.

Two days later, Cherise went to Dora’s office at GlobalVision Group. She sat across from Dora, with Crow seated beside her.

“Well, well, if it isn’t the newlywed bride! As expected, marriage has made a difference–you look even more radiant and beautiful,” Dora teased with a smile.

Cherise beamed. “Oh, stop teasing me. You’re doing just as well yourself! The love from your family and relationship is making you more and more charming.”

Crow, seemingly unable to take it anymore, cleared his throat. “Have you two forgotten that there’s a single man sitting right here?”

“So what? It’s not like this is the first time you’ve heard us talk like this,” Dora said nonchalantly.

Then she turned to Cherise. “Alright, enough chit–chat. You’re almost done with your wedding leave–let’s get down to business.”

As she spoke, she pulled out the letter she had received during the wedding from her drawer. “Here, Cherise. I’ve been keeping this safe for you. Now it’s yours.”

Cherise nodded and reached out to take the letter from Dora. After a brief hesitation, she opened it again and read through it once more.

The letter began with: My dearest daughter, Cherise.

The main content followed: I am your mother. I’m so sorry to be reaching out to you in this way.

Forgive me for missing so many important moments in your life. I have not been a good mother, nor a good daughter. All these years, both you and your grandmother have suffered because of me.

But I truly had my reasons. I have always wanted to be by your side, to be with my mother. I don’t ask for your forgiveness- I only wish to send you my sincerest blessings on your wedding day.

Bless you, my dear child. May your marriage be filled with love and happiness for a lifetime.

From an unworthy mother, Claire.
