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

don’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

should 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?”
