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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’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. 1/2 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshould 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?”
