Chapter 416
Rita stood there, watching Cherise walk away, her hands clenched into tight fists
Her face stayed calm, but the look in her eyes showed a lot of calculation and pride.
She then turned and walked back to her place.
She hadn’t brought her phone with her, and as soon as she got back to her house, the phone rang again before she sat down.
It was Gina, and something sounded wrong in her voice–she sounded frantic, even crying a little. “Rita, you finally picked. up! Mr. Hawkins‘ other foot starts to rot now.
“He’s been yelling in pain, and now he’s passed out again!
“What should we do? What’s going on?”
“Has the doctor arrived? What about Yulia?” Rita asked quickly.
Gina replied, “Yulia’s here, and the doctor is here too. He seems to be sleeping now, and the pain has stopped.”
“Okay, make sure Yulia keeps an eye on him. I won’t be there right away. I might have to wait a bit longer,” Rita said before hanging up.
The room was quiet, and Rita, listening to the call, nearly lost her balance. Luckily, there was a table nearby, and she reached out to steady herself.
Questions kept popping up in her mind, ‘How could this happer How is this possible? Didn’t the last time already…?”
Then, the face of the person she had spoken to earlier at the gazebo outside Dream Residence flashed in her mind.
“Cherise, Cherise… Could it be her again?” she said slowly.
At Dream Residence, Morris showed up before he was done with work.
Jason had been to GlobalVision Group in the afternoon, and on his way back, he brought Xenia along.
The place was livelier than ever.
Rayburn had taken a nap earlier, and now he looked a lot better! He looked around at all the people at the table and said, This is really something. Never thought I’d experience this in my lifetime.
“Come on, dig in!
“Cherise, Morris.
“And you must be Xenia, right? You look so lively and cute.
Come on, everyone, try the chef’s cooking!”
The meal was enjoyable, with everyone putting aside any formanties
As Cherise said, the Muller family’s chef was quite skilled.
After the meal, everyone said their goodbyes outside Dream Redence

Jason, his parents, and Xenia left first, and Morris stayed with Cherise.
“You should go inside now. Chivers Residence isn’t far. We can just walk back and digest, Cherise said to Kayburn, who was still standing by the door.
Rayburn smiled and said, “Alright, alright. Young people, I get it
“Tll head inside now. Take your time walking back.”
He smiled at them before turning to go back inside Dream Residence.
“Why does he seem a bit off? Not as serious as usual? Cherise asked, glancing at Morris.
Morris raised an eyebrow, placed his hand on Cherise’s shoulder, and pulled her close. “Let’s walk back and talk about romance on the way.
Cherise laughed, “You want to talk about romance after our marriage?”
As they walked down the steps from Dream Residence, Morris smiled and said. “Of course. Being with you, even when we’re old with gray hair and no teeth, we’ll still feel like we’re in love,”
Every young girl loved to hear the sweet talk. At that moment, it really felt like they were in the midst of a passionate
romance.
They had only taken a few steps down when a voice they somewhat recognized called out from behind, “Cherise, wait a second? I’ve got a couple of things to tell you, won’t take long.”
can you
When they heard the voice, both Cherise and Morris stopped.
Morris turned first, and when he saw who it was, his eyes showed some curiosity as he asked, “Mrs. Muller, what’s up? It’s so late–what’s going on?”
Cherise didn’t turn but gave a small smile.
Rita, meeting Morris‘ gaze, still spoke politely, “Morris, it’s urgent I need to talk to Cherise. It won’t take long. Is that okay
Morris‘ hand, which had been on Cherise’s shoulder, tightened lightly as he said more seriously, “Mrs. Muller, it might not, be the right time for this.”
After hearing that, Cherise patted his hand and said, “Honey, since Mrs. Muller seems to have something urgent to discuss with me, let’s wait a bit.
I want to see what it’s about.”
Morris, though not pleased, stepped back a little, giving them space but still kept his gaze on Cherise.
Once Morris moved away, Rita turned to face Cherise, her back him, and said, “Last time, you were the one who broke the witchcraft on Hannia.”
Cherise didn’t deny it, “Yep, that’s right!
“What’s the deal? You planning to put a spell on me now?”
Rita’s face suddenly changed, clearly surprised by Cherise’s calm response, “What did you do to Carrick?”
Cherise snorted coldly, “That’s something you should be asking ourselves. How many awful things have you done?
Since you want to talk about that. I won’t stay any longer.

“I’d suggest you go check on Garrick. I doubt he has much time left.”
As Cherise started to walk away, Rita reached out to stop her.
Morris reacted quickly and rushed over. “Mrs. Muller, it’s getting dark. Be careful. We’re heading back now.”
With that, he put hi
