“How did this happen?” Cherry asked quickly. “When did this happen? How are we suddenly getting investors? I thought all of them kept rejecting your offers. None of them were willing to help because the company is bankrupt.”Cherry had spoken to her father just the day before, and there had been no good news at all. His voice had sounded weak, like he was on the verge of giving up completely. She couldn’t believe that everything had changed so suddenly. It felt unreal.“I just got a call from my secretary,” her father said. “She told me we suddenly started receiving emails from investors. I don’t know how or why, but I’m just very happy.”He couldn’t keep the news to himself. The moment he heard what happened, he knew he had to call Cherry first. He knew how worried she had been about him and the company. He also knew she had been running around, begging people to help, doing everything she could.Cherry remained in shock, still struggling to believe what she was hearing. She knew how

Nolan stared at his grandfather’s number on his phone for a long moment, suddenly feeling bad that he hadn’t actually called in a very long time. Not that he had ever really called him before. He wasn’t used to the fact that he had a grandfather at all, so it was difficult for him to remember. They also didn’t live together, which made it even worse.Even so, Nolan was very grateful to his grandfather for finding him. Because of him, his life had completely changed. If it weren’t for his grandfather, Nolan didn’t even want to imagine how things would have played out for him. His life could have taken a very dark turn, and just thinking about it made his chest feel heavy.Nolan also felt weird and uncomfortable in general when it came to calling people. Talking on the phone had always made him uneasy. When it came to his grandfather, it was even worse. There was always this strange fear sitting in his chest whenever he thought about talking to him. He looked at the contact name on his

“If they’re okay?” Nolan cut in, frowning. “Are your parents sick?”“I would say they are,” Cherry said with a sad chuckle. “They’re dealing with something huge, and it’s just been a lot. I don’t even know how to explain it properly, but it’s affecting them financially, mentally, emotionally, and even physically. Every time I see them, they look like they’re so close to losing their sanity. It’s really sad.”She paused and swallowed hard.“I have to go home almost every day just to check on them and make sure they’re fine. It’s taking a toll on me too. It’s difficult… really difficult.”Nolan listened quietly, surprised.From the way Cherry carried herself, from her looks and confidence, he would never have guessed that she was going through something like this.“My father invested in a startup company,” Cherry continued, her voice trembling slightly. “The company collapsed. He put in everything he had. He sold his assets, his landed properties, everything, just to invest in that star

What…” Nolan was stunned and everything suddenly clicked in his head. Debby’s words earlier, her strange excitement and her sudden disappearance. Now it all made sense.“I don’t think it’s a bad idea,” Gabriel said quickly. “That’s why I agreed to it. And to be honest, Cherry isn’t a bad person. The way you both met was just wrong. She’s really pretty, and she’s in school studying a very good course. I don’t know, but you being with her could actually be a good thing. So I think you should use this opportunity to get close to her.”Nolan chuckled softly to himself as Gabriel spoke on the phone. He honestly didn’t understand why they were suddenly so interested in him being with Cherry. Gabriel had never cared about his love life before, so him suddenly caring now felt strange and a bit forced.Still, Nolan decided not to think too deeply about it. He chose to believe that Debby and Gabriel had good intentions. He didn’t bother pushing further or questioning Gabriel again. He felt the

Nolan realized that he had just been staring and hadn’t said anything in response to what Cherry said. He quickly pulled himself together and spoke.“Oh… it’s nothing,” he said. “I had totally forgotten about what happened. So it’s fine. It’s all fine.”To Nolan, since Cherry had apologized, everything was settled. He wasn’t the type to hold on to things or drag issues longer than necessary. In his mind, the matter was over, and there was no need to talk about it again or bring it up in the future.However, deep down, Cherry wasn’t happy at all. She felt uncomfortable and unsatisfied.She felt like she deserved an apology too. In her heart, she believed Nolan had disgraced her that day, and now she was the only one apologizing while he said nothing about his own actions. That didn’t sit well with her at all.But she couldn’t talk about it and that made her feel even worse.If she could speak up and say how she felt, it would be different, but she couldn’t. She had been warned, advised

“You’re not deceiving him,” Debby replied. “And if at all, you’re doing him a favour. You’re the one that told me that after Savannah broke up with him, he hasn’t been with anyone else since then. We’re literally doing him a favour by introducing him to a beautiful girl like Cherry.”“Hm… okay then,” Gabriel said slowly. “You’re not lying. So let’s hope that Nolan and Cherry are a good match because, you know, they started off on the wrong foot.”A few hours later, at the restaurant, Debby was seated with Cherry, telling her what she should do and what she shouldn’t do when Nolan arrived.“You must be a bit nicer to him,” Debby said. “In fact, I mean extra nice.”Cherry nodded, biting her lips as she checked her watch.“I thought you said you told him to come by 2 p.m.,” Cherry said impatiently. “It’s already almost two, and he should have been here by now.”She wasn’t comfortable with the idea that she had to be the one waiting for Nolan to show up. She believed that men were suppose
