Cherie had not woken up yet by the time Verian woke up the next morning. Cherie's leg was around Verian's while her arm was hugging Verian's belly. She was sleeping very soundly.
Verian laughed when she noticed how clingy Cherie seemed when she slept. She wondered how Cherie could claim that she had all grown up when she was still sleeping like a child.
Verian moved her aside gently to get out of bed before walking into the washroom to freshen herself up.
The more Verian thought about it, the more she felt meeting Boyle at this moment would be inappropriate.
Since Cherie was only dating Boyle and was not exactly thinking about marriage yet, what reason did Verian have to want to meet him anyway?
If Verian actually met up with Boyle, it would mean that Verian had indirectly approved of Boyle. This might cause Boyle and Cherie to start seriously dating each other.
However, she still felt the need to inform Heaton about Cherie dating Boyle which could wait till they arrived home or else, Heaton might storm to the capital in a fit of rage. This would further complicate things.
This was because the main purpose of Verian's visit this time was to catch up with Helen and return home to North City with Jelly Bean.
…
Since they were no longer meeting up with Boyle, Cherie was dragged along to hang out for the entire day with Verian and Helen. After they went shopping, they decided to have afternoon tea together.
She did not contact Boyle for two to three days now and Boyle seemed to also be busy with something else since he did not contact her as well.
It was the Gales that sent them off at the airport on the day Cherie and Verian were supposed to leave.
Helen tried to make them stay when they were about to leave. "Why don't you guys stay at the capital for a couple more days. You know, Tyler is also coming home during his winter break. He hasn't seen Jelly Bean in a really long time now."
Verian chuckled as she said, "Oh, we bought tickets home already. I'll catch up with you the next time I visit Jelly Bean, okay?"
Helen patted Jelly Bean's little head as she said with a smile, "Oh, Jelly Bean, you've been studying in the capital for six months now. How could you not stop by my house for a meal? You know what, come over anytime during the weekend to have fun in my house now, okay?"
Cherie nodded obediently as she said, "Yeah, I'll drop by for a meal next semester."
"Oh, you should be a little closer to Tyler now…"
Verian intentionally looked at her time when Helen brought that up as she cut Helen off with a laugh. She said, "Oh, Helen, it's almost time for us to board now."
Helen replied, "Go on ahead then. We'll catch up again next time."
"Alright."
After Verian led Jelly Bean through the customs, she said, "You know your Aunty Helen will be really sad if she found out that your boyfriend isn't Tyler."
"Tyler and I had always been best friends. It's you adults who kept pushing us together."
Verian chuckled and said, "Your father and I never pushed you both together, you know."
Jelly Bean frowned as she said, "But I feel a little bad since Aunty Helen is so nice to me."
Verian felt helpless as she pinched Jelly Bean's nose as she said, "Oh, you little rascal. I didn't know you'd actually know how to feel bad."
