Chapter 304 Clumsy Mandy

Cherise was new to such an occasion, and the setting was unexpectedly different. While the

experience was fresh and fascinating, she also felt drained from it all.

“Hey, I got you this non-alcoholic drink,” Rodney offered, handing a beverage to Cherise. “I wasn’t very

kind to you this afternoon. I hope you can forgive me.”

Cherise frowned, recalling when Rodney called her out for being unfair. She pursed her lips and

reluctantly accepted his apology, “Then, make sure you appreciate Lulu more, and I won’t hold it

against you.”

Cherise couldn’t help but notice that Rodney’s attention had been almost exclusively on Mandy since

they started eating.

“Well, she’s my girlfriend, and I want to treat her like a queen,” Rodney replied. “I’ve decided that you

and Lulu will sleep inside tonight, and I’ll take care of things outside.”

Cherise pursed her lips and finished her drink. “Sounds fair to me.”

But after downing her drink, she felt a heaviness in her head. She hadn’t eaten much and wasn’t

feeling well, so she asked Lucy to rest inside.

“Cherry, can you find someone else to keep you company?” Rodney furrowed his brow and held onto

Lucy. “I need to discuss something important with Lulu.”

“Can Anissa take you back?” Cherise pursed her lips and glanced at Anissa, who was still waiting for

her friend. “She has to wait for her friend.”

With that, she beckoned and said, “No worries, I’ll return on my own. I grew up here, and it’s fairly safe

in the countryside. I can find my way back.”

“I’d like to head back as well.” Overhearing the conversation from a nearby group, Mandy gracefully

rose and walked over to Cherise. “Shall we return together?”

“Jessie is missing, and I don’t know where she has gone. It’ll be good to have someone. accompany

me back.”

Their villa was next to the one where Cherise and her friends stayed.

Cherise frowned. Despite her reluctance, she couldn’t decline Mandy in front of so many people.

Furthermore, she was more familiar with navigating the countryside at night than Mandy, so she wasn’t

concerned about any tricks Mandy might attempt.

“Fine then.” She hesitated for a moment and glanced at Lucy. “Make sure you head back right after

dinner, okay?”

Lucy furrowed her brow, nodding slightly.

Mandy grabbed her small backpack, and together with Cherise, they made their towards their

accommodation. The rural night enveloped them in silence, broken only by the sounds of flowing water,

rustling leaves, their footsteps, and distant barking dogs.

Drawing a deep breath of the clean air, Mandy felt her spirits lifted as she asked casually, “I heard you

also grew up in the countryside, right?”

Cherise, leading the way with a flashlight, furrowed her brows. “Yep.”

“Actually, it feels so much better to live in a place like this,” Mandy remarked with a smile. “I prefer this

freedom over the constraints of the city.”

She wanted to say more but abruptly held back her words.

Just outside the villa they were staying in, a small ditch obstructed their path. Despite Cherise holding

Mandy’s hand and guiding their way with a flashlight, Mandy twisted her ankle when attempting to

cross.

“Ouch!” Mandy’s cry was soft but filled with discomfort.

“Seriously?” Cherise muttered in frustration. “How clumsy! Urgh!”

She looked at the dimmed villa; none of the others had returned yet.

With a sigh, she suggested, “Let’s head to my place first.”

If her memory served her right, Frances had packed some first aid supplies in her luggage in the

morning.
