Cherise immediately understood what was going on when she saw Xenia’s condition, and then she couldn’t help but laugh out loud
“Cherise, are you teasing me? What should I do?” Xenia asked, looking genuinely nervous.
Cherise then looked Xenia up and down. “This dress really looks nice on you. Don’t worry, I’m confident my uncle and aunt that you’ve never met will really like you” she remarked.
“Really? Then I’m a bit relieved, Jason just isn’t good at comforting people. He always says the same thing. Cherise, you’re much better, Xenia replied, seemingly reassured.
Cherise glanced at Jason. He shrugged at her, indicating that he’d tried his best to comfort Xenia, but she just didn’t appreciate it.
“Aren’t they there yet?” Morris asked.
“Almost there, give it about another half an hour,” Jason replied after checking his watch
Half an hour later, someone knocked the door.
All four people in the room stood up, and Xenia tightly clasped Cherise’s hand. The previously serious Cherise felt a bit
more at ease because of Xenia.
Jason stepped forward to open the door.
“Dad, Mom, it’s been a while!” Jason greeted them.
“Oh, my son, move aside. Where’s your cousin?” a cheerful female voice asked, trying to push Jason aside.
“Jason, where’s your cousin?” asked a deep male voice.
As the door blocked the view inside, Jason pointed in. Hearing the voices, Cherise also moved forward.
The people who arrived were Jason’s parents, a couple who seemed easygoing and naturally youthful.
Jason’s dad, Warren, was a famous author in the industry, and his mom, Seraphina, was a well–respected artist. The main reason for returning to home this time was for Cherise.
Cherise stepped forward, saw those who had arrived, and then smiled at them. “Uncle, Aunt,” she called out.
When Jason’s parents saw Cherise standing there, they were completely stunned, especially Jason’s dad, who kept murmuring, “So similar, so much alike.
“It’s just like that photo of my mom, who left me before I could understand anything and never got to see me grow up…”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but tear up. With emotions starting to crumble, he burst into tears.
Jason’s mom, Seraphina, held Warren’s arm, gently patting his back and constantly comforting him.
Cherise stood right in front of them, staying quiet. She wanted to say something, but she felt choked up and couldn’t speak.
She completely understood Warren’s reaction and feelings, since the word “mom was one of the most dear and beautiful words in the world. Without a mom, it felt like a lot of love missel

Cherise gently clutched the skirt of her dress with her hands as she watched the man cry in front of

It seemed that the sadness was too overwhelming, both Jason and Xenia seemed to feel it too, and their eyes were slightly red just from watching
Morris sensed Cherise’s low spirits, so he walked over to her side and held her hand tightly.
Cherise turned her head to look at the man beside her who gave her warmth, and then she took a deep breath. “Uncle. Auntie, I’m Cherise,” she introduced hersell
Her sweet and gentle voice brought the crying middle–aged man back to reality.
“Don’t cry anymore, look, your niece is here. See? She looks just like your mom.
“She’s so beautiful, I really adore her. Look at her, don’t cry, youll embarrass yourself. Don’t scare your niece away.” Seraphina comforted Warren as she gently patted Warren on the back and helped wipe away his tears.
It was clear that the two of them had a strong relationship, and Seraphina was an optimistic and cheerful person. Warren began to calm down once he heard Cherise call him “Uncle“. He slowly raised his head, with swollen red eyes, and then looked at Cherise in front of him.
His big hand shook as he reached out to her. “Kid, these years must have been tough on you. Let me take a good look at you,” he said.
Hearing his words, Cherise didn’t hesitate and offered her hand to him. Just like that, she was held tightly by Warren.
“Uncle, it’s all in the past. Things will be great from now on, right? Cherise spoke slowly as she looked at Warren before her.
Seraphina heard this and said, “Exactly, look at this little girl, she even understands the truth. I know you’re really sad, but people should look ahead.
Here, this is our first meeting today. We have prepared a big red envelope for Cherise. Come on, give it to Cherise. This is wonderful, I’ve always dreamed of having a daughter, and I’ve often prayed for it.
“See, my sincere prayers did get answered, right? The god sent me such a perfect little angel, Seraphina kept talking.
Hearing this, Warren wiped his tears and started to smile. Yes, your auntie is right. You’re here, and we’ve found you, so we should be happy about it. We should keep looking forward.”
“Isn’t that Morris there, and Jason’s girlfriend too? See, Seraphina, I’ve been so caught up in my sadness that I’ve made Jason’s girlfriend and Cherise’s husband laugh at me,” he added
Xenia initially felt quite down and a bit sad.
When she suddenly heard her name, Xenia was startled and tightly held Jason’s hand. She bowed to Warren and Seraphina, saying. “Uh, hello, Warren, Seraphina, Tm Xenia Taylor. You can just call me Xenia.
“I’m good friends with Cherise. It’s my first time meeting you, and I was so focused on looking at you that I forgot to say hello. Please excuse my lack of manners!”
