Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 583

Chapter 583

Just like that, several days passed–everything proceeded as usual, without surprises or excitement.

The peak of summer had passed, giving way to late summer. The scorching heat from before had faded, replaced by a refreshing coolness in the air, making the weather much more pleasant.

Familiar faces came to visit Claire one after another, including the Muller family, Phoebe, Lucas and Mary, Marlon and Xenia, Trent, Truman…

Cherise and Morris had no intention of keeping Claire hidden. Their loved ones deserved to live openly under the sun–and not just that, but to live happily and freely.

After all, they had more than enough power to protect her.

Betrico University was also on summer break, which was perfect–Cherise now had plenty of time to spend with her mother. After so many years, she could finally enjoy the simple joy of being surrounded by her mother’s love.

On this particular day, Cherise and Claire went to the Summer International Shopping Mall. Claire, whose hair had now fully grown back, strolled leisurely through the mall with Cherise and Xenia.

With the three of them out together, it was as if four different styles of beauty had converged, drawing countless envious glances. The number of heads turning as they passed was undeniable.

*Claire, this store looks great. I know the owner–they have some connections with Taylor Vogue. Since you rarely go shopping, let me take you in for a shopping spree!” Xenia said, still exuding her usual ‘big spender‘ energy.

“Really? Alright then. Xenia, I’m so grateful you two brought me out today. It’s been years since I last went shopping.

Just look at this mall, the design, the clothes–everything is completely different from my era,” Claire said excitedly.

Walking behind them, Cherise watched as Claire linked arms with Xenia, her heart brimming with affection. No matter the era, no matter the age, women would always love shopping and beautiful things.

By now, Xenia had already led Claire into the boutique. “Claire, what do you think of this dress?”

“Hmm… isn’t it a little too revealing around the shoulders?” Claire asked hesitantly, a faint blush rising to her cheeks–an expression more common in young girls.

“Not at all! Come on, it’s the modern era. Showing a little skin is no big deal. Besides, with a figure like yours, you have to show it off, right, Cherise?”

Cherise knew that Claire was still adjusting to the current times, so she smiled and said, “Try it on. It looks great on you.”

Claire actually liked the dress. She, Cherise’s grandmother, and Cherise herself all shared a love for dressing beautifully— not to please others, but simply for their own enjoyment.

Since her daughter had given her the nod of approval, Claire decided it was time to embrace change. She agreed and turned to the sales associate. “Excuse me, could you show me to the fitting room?”

The sales associate had a keen eye and immediately recognized their elegant presence–not to mention, Cherise’s face was quite familiar. Realizing they were VIPS, she quickly responded, “Of course! Right this way.”

As Claire disappeared into the fitting room, Cherise and Xenia exchanged a knowing smile.

“So? How does it feel to have a mom?” Xenia asked, wrapping an arm around Cherise’s shoulder.

She curled her lips into a smile and let out a soft laugh. “It’s great. I used to envy others, but now I finally don’t have that chance anymore. I have someone to rely on and a newfound sense of comfort.”

“Congratulations! Love, family, and even friendship with me–you’ve got it all.” Xenia was actually even happier than Cherise seeing her like this.

Cherise looked at her. “You know, you could easily turn our friendship into family. Just marry my brother.”

“No. I only enjoy the process of dating. As for starting a family, I’m not ready for that yet.” Xenia’s tone was firm–she had her own ideas,
