Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Her World Will Be Illuminated Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Her World Will Be Illuminated William Griffith couldnât help but smirk at her fleeing appearance.
Cherish Turner, we have a long time ahead of us.
Then, the car made a beautiful turn and left the neighborhood.
Only after Cherish bolted inside did she stop and lean against the stair railing, holding her pounding chest. Oh my god, what William had just said to her, âhe said he would make a move on her too!â
As a girl, she couldnât possibly not understand what those words meant coming from a guy.
Was William serious?
Cherish had never imagined that one day, a shiny CEO would suddenly appear in her ordinary and impoverished life â what an experience that would be!
Lost in her thoughts, Cherish finally arrived at her front door, only to find her mother waiting there!
âCherish, why are you so late?â Mother Turner, wearing thick pajamas, yawned as she asked her question.
Behind her, Mr. Turner, a police officer, handed his wife a heating pad and chided, âIndeed, you should have called if you were going to be late. Your mother has been waiting for you all night!â
Feeling guilty, Cherish chuckled and slung an arm around her motherâs shoulder, âMom, sorry! I had to work overtime today and forgot to tell you. Hurry and go inside; itâs cold out here!ââ
Once inside, after chatting with her parents for a while, her mother suddenly brought up Daniel Peacock.
âCherish, listen, Daniel is in his final year of graduate school, and you two have been dating for many years. Iâm just hoping that once heâs done with school, he can marry you. By the way, is he coming back for the New Yearâs holiday this year? If he doesnât have time to come back, how about we, your father and I, go to Kyoto with you to visit him?â
Cherishâs face fell; she suddenly didnât know what to say.
How could she tell her parents about her and Daniel? They liked him so much; it would break their hearts!
The Daniel she had always adored was no longer hers; he belonged to another woman now!
How could her fatherâs temperament accept his precious daughter being wronged like this? If he found out, he might rush straight to Kyoto, and that could lead to more trouble!
âWhatâs wrong? Why arenât you talking? What are you thinking, young lady?â
Mother Turner nudged her daughter, prompting Cherish to quickly put on a cheerful expression, âAh, Mom! You know how busy he is, especially with the semester ending now. Heâs looking for a job and feeling really stressed; I donât want to disturb him during this time. Since he doesnât have time to return home for the New Year, I figured I would leave him be. But donât worry, we still keep in touch regularly!â
Having heard her daughterâs explanation, Mother Turner didnât say anything at the moment, but she couldnât help feeling uneasy. Daniel was in Kyoto, a glamorous place, and since the young couple didnât see each other often, she fretted over their relationship.
âCherish, tell mom honestly, is there any trouble between you and Daniel?â
Her recent eyelid twitching had her worried!
âMom, what are you talking about? What could possibly happen? Danielâs seriously busy right now, and youâve seen how Iâve been working late these days, too. We just donât have the time. Look, Iâll give you my phone, so you can talk to Daniel personally, okay?â
As she said this, Cherish pulled out her phone and pretended to make a call to Daniel Peacock.
Meanwhile, William Griffith, who had not yet driven home, suddenly received a call from Cherish on his phone in the car.
