Chapter 527: Chapter 526: Love Requires Courage

After eating, they ordered ice cream as usual.

While eating her ice cream, Cherish asked greedily, "Mom, can I have one more serving of ice cream?"

Mother Turner thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, but only one more."

"Okay." Cherish happily responded, looking as cute and well-behaved as a little girl.

Mother Turner quietly watched her and took a sip of her coffee.

Lowering her gaze to the deep brown liquid in her cup, she spoke slowly and gently, "Cherish, in these days, Daniel has been assuring me that he will definitely make you happy. As for your father, Daniel has also put in a lot of thought. I’ve said this before, Daniel is a talented young man with a promising future."

"I want to ask you..." Mother Turner looked up, meeting Cherish’s eyes, and cautiously asked, "Do you like Daniel?"

Cherish was taken aback, not expecting her mother to suddenly say these things.

After a moment of silence under her mother’s gaze, Cherish softly said, "Mom, I don’t like him anymore, I stopped liking him a long time ago."

Mother Turner sighed heavily, her nervous expression seemingly calming down. She lamented, "Actually, I don’t want you to marry into the Peacock family, and I don’t want you to marry into a wealthy family either. You wouldn’t like that kind of life. However, if it’s someone you like, that would be a different story."

"Mom," Cherish murmured, more determinedly saying, "I don’t like Daniel Peacock."

"I hope you find a down-to-earth boy who doesn’t need to be rich, but can take care of you and treat you well, that would be the best..." Mother Turner spoke slowly and thoughtfully, as Cherish listened quietly without saying a word, the ice cream in her cup gradually melting.

Suddenly, she heard Mother Turner ask, "Are you still not over William Griffith, but, will he marry you?"

Her heart seemed to melt like the ice cream at that moment.

The sound of someone calling her name, Cherish, Little Greedy Cat. His warm, large hand would hold hers tightly as they walked, never letting go no matter how hard she tried to shake it off. His smile was the most beautiful she had ever seen, but his cruelty, ruthlessness, indifference, and flirtatious nature also filled her with dread.

Flowers on the edge of a cliff should not be picked nor coveted.

Cherish shook her head at Mother Turner, calmly saying, "No, there’s nothing between him and me."

The bright sunlight shone through the window, and the ice cream in the cup finally melted into icy water.

It turns out... falling in love with someone also requires courage. But now, her courage had almost been consumed by William Griffith. At this moment, she couldn’t bear to lose again. If she was going to lose, she chose not to play at all. That way, she wouldn’t have to face the heartache and sadness of loss.

Going home that day, Cherish didn’t meet with William again. Instead, she returned to her own family on the 8th floor. Her parents were present, but seeing her unhappy expression, they gave her space and didn’t dare say much. Cherish rarely had a moment of peace, so she turned on the TV and watched it quietly by herself. The volume was turned up high, filling the entire living room. There seemed to be no loneliness or solitude this way. Her head leaned into the pillow, telling herself she didn’t need a temporary shelter. If William really wanted to win her back, he would take action. Otherwise, she wouldn’t let herself fall headfirst into it again, only to end up empty-handed.
