Chapter 450 A Surprising Encounter
Since Cherise denies being a Tanner, Damien can only wait until she accepts the fact.
Cherise nodded in agreement that they could thank Aaron Tanner before adding. “I promised to take Grandpa Aaron out to try some local specialties when he comes to Adania.”
She turned away to get her phone. “What do you suggest?”
Damien smiled weakly as he watched her scroll through the list of local specialties. “I can’t recommend anything special in Adania. However, it might be more meaningful if you could cook for him. Nothing beats homecooked food.”
Cherise slapped her forehead in embarrassment. “You’re right!”
Grandpa Aaron has never tasted the dishes I’ve made. Furthermore, it would express my gratitude more sincerely if I cooked for him.
Cherise took out her notebook and began listing what she would cook for lunch. Once she had planned everything, she called for Frances, and the ladies went out for a shopping trip.
Despite the long shopping list, Cherise’s excellent planning skills shortened their trip to a mere thirty minutes.
On their
way back home, they passed a shop that sold tailor-made Western men’s wear. Cherise stared at the well-made suits.
Grandpa Tanner likes traditional things, but I’ve never seen him wear a tailor-made suit when I was staying with the Tanners. It would be nice if I could get a gift for him a simple meal doesn’t feel appropriate.
Cherise sent Frances back home and then went to visit the tailor.
“Excuse me, could you tell me if this suit comes in another color?” Cherise asked one of the salespersons, who had their back turned towards her.
The salesperson turned around and gasped at her in disgust.
“It’s you!”
Cherise blinked at the middle-aged woman. Despite feeling the woman’s hostility, Cherise remained smiling. “Have we met before?”
“Have we met before?” The woman mocked, trying to ridicule Cherise.
“Miss Shaw, how could you forget who I am?”
Cherise stared at the woman, and a faint memory of her came back to her.
“Are you–”
”
A terrible memory resurfaced when Cherise heard the name. Sunny invited her class to Viopril Palace without consulting her, and he ended up being detained by the authorities.
Cherise remembered how intimidating Sunny’s parents were when they were angry at her, but she was forgiving. She didn’t recall what Sunny’s mother looked like.
However, Sunny’s mother’s fervent reminder jogged her memory.
“How is he? Is he doing well?” Cherise asked cheerfully, but she was already slowly heading towards the exit.
I don’t have to buy anything with Sunny’s mother breathing fire down my neck. There are other tailors in
town.
“Hah, how could he be doing well?”
“It’s your fault that he was thrown into jail. He now has a criminal record. After that, he was expelled and had to start over at a local college.”
Sunny’s mother towered over Cherise, screaming her anger at the young woman.
Cherise, on the other hand, was not in the mood to deal with the glaring woman.
Turning to leave the shop, she heard a woman call out. “Hey, you! Young lady at the door!”
Cherise had placed a hand on the door to push it open but felt someone tug on her sleeve.
“Why are you leaving already, miss? You haven’t seen any of our products yet!” An authoritative woman asked pleasantly.
