Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Regarding the Ostrich Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Regarding the Ostrich So, if it weren’t for me, would William Griffith and Chloe Turner be together?

If it weren’t for me, would their relationship be different from what it is now?

Thinking about this, Cherish Turner curled up in bed, burying her head deep between her legs, as if carefully pondering how things would be between them if she didn’t exist.

William knew her too well; ever since she was a little girl, Cherish had been very considerate of others, perhaps naturally self-deprecating, always accommodating others before thinking of herself.

As her family’s financial situation worsened, she had no choice but to toughen up. She was willing to do any dirty or tiring work that would bring in money, enduring hardships for the sake of her parents and younger brother.

She was like a cactus, able to grow healthily without being watered by anyone.

Since leaving the Turner Family when she was very young, Cherish hadn’t seen much of William. The next time he met her was during her seventeenth summer, in Haicheng.

William had almost forgotten there was such a lovable cutie in the Turner Family.

Seeing her again, Williams’s once stagnant heart seemed to come alive once more. At that time, Cherish had accidentally wandered into someone else’s yard and fallen asleep under a cherry blossom tree. William, who happened to pass by, was entranced by this fairy-like girl.

William slipped into deep thought, as if reliving the scene when he first met Cherish.

Seeing his silence, Cherish’s eyes began to dim. Should she give William back to her sister named Chloe Turner? Although they may not have had much emotional connection, they were sisters after all.

“William, we… ”

She wanted to say that they wouldn’t be able to continue their relationship, but William wouldn’t let her speak.

William knew what Cherish wanted to say next, but there was never any room for concession when it came to feelings, especially not in his dictionary.

All that mattered was what he wanted and didn’t want.

When Bob Turner died, William promised him he would take care of Chloe for the rest of her life, even if it meant marrying her.

But then he met Cherish again and realized that there really was such a thing as fate in this world, and some encounters were destined to happen.

“Leave our affairs to me. Don’t think about it anymore. Now, are you no longer jealous? Rest well.”

He gently moved a loose strand of hair from her lips and tucked it behind her ear, gazing at her affectionately.

“Since you’re not jealous anymore, from now on, you must listen to me on all matters, understand?”

He needed to win Cherish over quickly, lest any complications arise. Sometimes, he wished that Cherish could be a little more obtuse!

At this moment, Cherish’s mind was in turmoil. She didn’t know how to respond to him, nor did she know if it was right or wrong for them to be together.

But she was curious about Chloe.

“Can I meet Chloe?”

William frowned involuntarily, but he knew that he couldn’t stop Cherish. After a moment, he finally replied, “Fine, but we have to deal with the situation in Japan first.”

Cherish nodded. She could do that.

“Prepare well for the competition, and don’t disgrace me.”

Caught off guard by his comment, Cherish asked, “How did you know about it?”

“I’m not like you, heartless and uncaring about me. Every one of your affairs is important to me.”

Such straightforward and pleasing words made Cherish’s face turn red, and she muttered, “I don’t know what you’re talking about… ”

Sometimes, Cherish was like an ostrich. Yes, an ostrich!
