Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Disgusting Display of Affection Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Disgusting Display of Affection No one paid attention to Haileyâs words, instead carefully scrutinizing the girl in front of them.
Cherish Turner took a cautious look at the elders present, and seeing their excitable expressions, couldnât help but feel sympathy for William Griffith.
So, being a big boss was not easy, especially when it came to the major issue of marriage; there must be a lot of helplessness.
âMiss Turner is so beautiful. No wonder William is so devoted to her. May I know which familyâs daughter Miss Turner is?â the old lady asked.
âTo answer your question, Iâ¦â
âCherishâs parents are engaged in import and export trade abroad and have been living abroad for a long time. They are not from Seacity.â William spoke before Cherish could, his words leaving her speechless!
What living abroad? Engaging in import and export trade? Thatâs nonsense!
Her mother was an insurance salesperson, her father a policeman in the northern district of Seacity. More importantly, due to an accident, her father had been suspended from work. So, Cherishâs family situation could be described as a sorry sight.
Now being blown up into such an impressive, well-bred young lady, she was truly shocked!
Cherish gave William a look, telling him not to exaggerate so much, but William acted as if he hadnât seen her signal, sipping his tea calmly.
She really couldnât stand him!
Seeing the lively and interesting expressions on her face, William felt secretly amused.
This woman was truly interesting!
The whole time, Hailey had been squinting at the seemingly fraudulent âcoupleâ in front of her.
Cherish felt self-conscious under Haileyâs gaze and quickly looked away.
William casually cast a lethal look at his sister, leaving her utterly defeated!
âSo, itâs overseas Chinese. That must be quite good. I just knew Miss Turner had an extraordinary demeanor,â said one of the aunts.
Cherish wanted to cry, feeling terribly guilty for being so misunderstood!
âHehehe⦠Aunt, youâre really overpraising me. My parents⦠actually quite ordinary, hehe, quite ordinaryâ¦â
âMiss Turner is too modest. In this economic recession, itâs no easy feat to run a successful import and export trade business overseas.â The women of the Griffith family praised Cherish, seemingly quite satisfied with Williamâs girlfriend!
The Griffith Family had a prominent reputation in Seacity. Five years ago, Williamâs qualifications would have made him one in a million. Even now, he was an absolute treasure.
However, the elders knew better; William had a son, and that fact would inevitably count against him. Although, girls still came after him like crazy.
But when looking for a wife for him, they had to consider the child. So, the girlâs character must also be outstanding.
âWilliam is perfect in every way. But Miss Turner, as Iâm sure you know, he has a son. If you two get together, can you love and care for Lewis as if you were his biological mother?â
The one who asked this was Williamâs mother, May Campbell.
Cherish didnât answer, but William spoke up first.
âMom, donât worry about that. Lewis has met Cherish and he loves her very much. Cherish also loves and cares for Lewis.â Williamâs words were true, as he had seen her caring for the child when he was in the hospital.
As he spoke, he intertwined his fingers with Cherishâs, making a cringe-worthy display of affection!
Seeing this, the old lady and Mother Griffith were secretly delighted.
