My Billionaire Family 14

As dusk settled, they left Gourmet Galaxy and stepped into a tranquil scene that contrasted sharply with the lively downtown.

Back at the airport, Cherise's large suitcase hadn't fit in Xenia's sports car, prompting Morris to have Leo place it in his own car.

"Where can I direct you, Ms. Leach?" Morris inquired, addressing Cherise.

Cherise hesitated to reveal her address, but Xenia, always outspoken, didn't hesitate. "Cherise resides in Glenshire Gardens. We should be on our way," Xenia declared, about to take Cherise's hand.
