Cherish ignored Carlos' attitude and called after him with a smile, "Then I'll prepare the dishes I made the day before yesterday."
Carlos stopped midway up the stairs. He grabbed onto the handrail hard enough for his knuckles to turn white. "Just give it a rest, Cherish," he said through clenched teeth.
He did not want Cherish running around the kitchen.
Cherish was stunned. She then asked, "Why? Don't you like my cooking?
But your appetite has been good lately."
She did not sound argumentative. She looked at him with inquisitive and sincere eyes.
Carlos blinked, keeping his face neutral despite feeling a little annoyed. "It doesn't matter whether I like your cooking or not. The point is that you don't have to try so hard."
"Well, I want to," Cherish snapped. She put her hands on her hips and added, "I came here to take care of you, and if taking care of you means doing some housework, then I'll do it. If you can eat the food prepared by the cooks, you can eat the food I prepared."
If Carlos dared to snap back at her, she would charge at him and break his leg.
At this point, she no longer cared if Carlos did not want her to try. She would take care of him because she loved him like a drunk loved wine.
A little startled by the change in Cherish's attitude, Carlos simply nodded and said, "Fine."
He then proceeded to his room without looking back.
As soon as Carlos disappeared to his room, tears welled up in Cherish's eyes. "That bastard! He can really make anyone feel bad without even trying!" she muttered.
She was so angry that she stomped all the way to the kitchen and prepared a nutritious soup to make him feel guilty.
Carlos was too focused on Cherish to notice his parents watching from a corner.
After listening to Carlos and Cherish's conversation, Leah and Chuck headed back to their room to discuss it.
Chuck and Leah had always liked Cherish for their future daughter-in-law. She was beautiful, sweet, diligent, and she really cared about Carlos.
Leah sighed and looked at Chuck, who was silent at the moment. She felt that Carlos was just like his father, often quiet and brooding.
"Any ideas?" Leah asked.
"None,
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became heavy. The three of them looked at each other, but none of them wanted to break the silence.
Cherish, who was on her way back to her room with the housekeeper, stopped at the vestibule. She overheard the last part of their conversation. Leah was forcing her son to get married. Should she walk into his room as if nothing had happened? That would be ill-advised.
If she walked in, how embarrassed would the people inside be? People who did not know her might think that she had worked with Carlos' parents to put pressure on him.
But after thinking for a while, Cherish walked in with a smile on her face. "I'm sorry. I overheard your conversation just now. I appreciate your kindness, but I don't intend to get married at present. You two don't have to convince him," she said slowly.
Hearing this, Chuck and Leah were moved.
The entire world knew about Cherish's love for Carlos. How could she not want to marry him?
Everyone in the hall knew that what she had said was not from the bottom of her heart. It was just to avoid embarrassment and ease the pressure on Carlos.
Every time Cherish said a word, the pain in her heart worsened. She could feel Carlos' burning gaze on her back, but she gritted her teeth and continued, "We're still young, and there are unlimited possibilities in the future. Also, he has been in a bad mood lately and has experienced so many things. He is not comfortable..."
