Chapter 844 Return To The Research Institute

Cherise had already informed Mr. Whitlock yesterday that she would return to work today.

Yet, here she was, absent for the entire morning.

“You can go tomorrow,” Damien smiled and gently tousled Cherise’s hair. “I’ve spoken to

Mr. Whitlock on your behalf.”

Cherise, holding a bowl of oatmeal, paused slightly. “What did you tell him?”

Damien’s stern voice carried a hint of amusement. “I told him that you and I plan to have

a third and fourth child. So, you might need to take a day off at home.”

Cherise was shocked.

This scoundrel! How could he embarrass me like that?

Cherise held her spoon hesitantly. She had lost her appetite, but she feared he would

tease her again if she did not eat.

After a while, she reluctantly swallowed the oatmeal. “I don’t care. I have to go to work

this afternoon.”

Since the morning was already lost and irretrievable, she could not skip the afternoon

either. She refused to let her colleagues and superiors think she was an employee who

indulged excessively and kept slacking off from work.

Damien shrugged. “If you insist on going, I’ll have Mr. Kolson take you there later.”

He had matters to deal with in the afternoon and could not always stay home with her.

Thus, he thought her going to work was also a good choice. At least she would not be so

bored.

After lunch, Cherise dug out her long–unused office clothes. Then, Mr. Kolson sent her to

the research institute.

The research institute seemed unusually lively today, with flowers and balloons at the

entrance.

Cherise rubbed her temples helplessly and smiled. Her colleagues probably prepared

these things to welcome her.

Last night, she had seen Heather discussing organizing a welcome party with her

colleagues in the WhatsApp group.

Cherise felt even more guilty as she thought about this. Her colleagues must have waited

for her to return, yet she was late. Thus, she entered the research institute, intending to

apologize.

When she entered, she saw Heather’s face stained with colorful cake icing.

“Dr. Shaw?” Heather looked at Cherise in shock. “Why… why are you back today?”

Then, as if fearing others would discover Cherise, Heather quickly pulled her into the

stairwell. “Aren’t you on vacation for a long time?”

Cherise was stunned. “1…”

She had informed Mr. Whitlock yesterday that she would end her vacation. Furthermore,

Heather and other colleagues were discussing a welcome party in the chat group. How

could Heather not know she was coming back?

“Dr. Shaw, your vacation isn’t over yet. You should go home and enjoy it. Why come to the

research institute?”

Heather seemed anxious and tried to persuade Cherise to go home. “There’s nothing

much to do in the institute. Since you’ve gotten engaged to your fiancé, you should enjoy

quality time with him.”

After saying that, she began to push Cherise towards the back door. “Listen to me. Go

home first…”

However, before she could finish speaking, someone called out to her. “Heather, who are

you talking to over there?”

Cherise frowned. She recognized the voice calling Heather. It was also a colleague from

the research institute. Previously, Damien had invited all her colleagues to dinner. This

colleague had toasted to her and Damien.

Thus, Cherise turned around and smiled to greet the colleague. “Hi, it’s me. I’m back.”

Seeing Cherise’s smile, the colleague was stunned for a moment. Then, her in horror as if

she had seen a ghost. “Cherise?”
