My Billionaire Family 380
Chapter 380
Once everyone had left, Lucas and Mary finally sat down. Mary looked tired.
Jean poured her a glass of water. "Grandina, have swater to calm down."
Lucas shook his head at her. "You're always tough at hand tough with me. But as soon as you're outside,
around your maternal family, you beca pushover." Jean chimed in. "Yeah, Grandma, don't be so down."
Mary sighed. "But they're my family. How could | not care? They re my real brother and sister-in-law. I've got a
tough spot too. Cherise has quite a temper too."
Jean's eyes widened at the words, "Grandma, it's not fair for you to speak like that about Cherise. | admit | also
misunderstood her at first and thought she wasn't sensible. But when things shifted, it was like a wake-up call, a
real eye- opener.
"She's truly impressive and cool, no airs about her, way better than most women."
Lucas nodded in agreement. "Jean's right. Cherise is quite a special person. | am so fond of her. It's rare to see
such a free-spirited and generous woman.
"She's remarkable. Morris is lucky the heavens finally smiled at him. The Quinton family, the less contact the

Mary pressed her lips together, muttering under her breath, clearly unhappy with the tension between her natal
and marital families, "Humph! All you care about is that person."
Lucas didn't hear it clearly. "What are you mumbling about?"
Mary said, "Nothing. Fll be more careful. Alice can be tough, but she's still my sister-in-law. I'll talk to Matthew
about it later/ I'm aware of the rest. I'm caught in the middle, so I'll tread lightly." Lucas and Jean shared a
glance, shook their heads, and remained silent.
What happened at the Jarrett residence had no impact on Cherise. For the rest of the holiday, she ate and drank
in peace, feeling pretty relaxed.
Today, she hung out with a couple of friends. Tomorrow, she was with Morris, enjoying their romance, and the
day after, she was off to Carson's island to study and play with the cute animal Life had been a real treat
But then, the other day, Amy's father got fired for neglecting his duties And Alice was grounded at hby
Matthew after her notorious incident at the Jarrett residence.
On the last day of the holiday. Nolan and Hannia dropped by to see Morris and Cherise. Not wanting to intrude,
they stayed just long enough to chat before making moves to leave.
Before leaving, Hannia tugged on Cherise's arm, saying, "Ever since you helpedremove that cursed worm,
I've felt incredible, like a weight's been lifted and I'm worry-free! You're amazing. You seem to know everything.
Nolan chimed in, "Of course, She's my junior."
Hannia rolled her eyes at him. "You are so smug. Even Mr. Chivers isn't boasting like that.
Cherise glanced at Morris and found him quite calm. She held as hand with a smile and said to Hannia, "School

They waved goodbye to each other, and then Nolan's car drove out of Chivers Residence.
Cherise and Morris still held their hands tightly together. "Mr. Chivers, con. Teachhow to cook! I'm
hungry," Cherise said softly, her hands tightly clasped together.
Morris chuckled, "Hmm? | can cook for you. Why the sudden interest in learning to cook?"
"Con. Just teach me. You're such a great cook. | want to learn. | want to learn so | can cook for you." Cherise
said playfully, nudging Morris's shoulder.
This trick always worked on Morris, melting his heart. "Alright, let's get you cooking."
It was Christmas, a tof joy for many, but not at the Hawkins residence.
After the first couple of days with many visitors, the Hawkins family locked up their house for the rest of the
week, leaving many friends and relatives who had cto offer their good wishes shut out. "What's going on
with the Hawkins family?"
"On Christmas, why would the Hawkins family shut their doors? There's no news of anything bad happening to
them." "It's really not festive at all. Usually, their house is bustling on Christmas, but today, even the side gate is
shut." "What a bummer. Let's just get out of here."
Nobody knew what happened to the Hawkins family, not even the servants would talk. It was only known that
apart from the first couple of days, the Hawkins residence had been locked up since then.
