Chapter 383 I’ll Keep My Promise
“These two are the sons of my friends from the army. They came to visit me.”
Elvis smiled when he saw Cherise. “It looks like you had a great time in Europe. Your cheeks have gotten rounder.”
Cherise was surprised and instinctively touched her cheeks. “Really? That can’t be true!”
I remember to exercise every day!
I even controlled my intake of ice cream and cake. How could I have gained weight?
“Uncle Shaw.”
As Cherise pondered, Damien entered the house carrying a box.
He immediately noticed the two men sitting on the couch.
Elvis repeated the explanation he had given Cherise.
Then, he smiled and turned to the two men. “My niece and her husband have arrived. Would you gentlemen mind waiting in the inner room?”
“They will only be here for half an hour. I will discuss your fathers’ matters shortly.”
The men exchanged glances and did not object. “We will wait for half an hour. Please don’t delay it any further.”
The taller man warned before heading to the inner room.
“Sure, sure.”
Elvis smiled and continued, “I’ll keep my promise. Don’t worry.”
After the two men left, Elvis sighed and looked at the suitcase in Damien’s hands. “Did you bring presents for us?”
“Yes!”
Cherise looked around the room excitedly. “Where’s Aunt Sarah and Grandma?”
“And where are Sky and Tay? Isn’t it summer vacation?”
Elvis shook his head resignedly. “It’s summer, and you know how much your grandmother loves watching people play cards. After lunch, she dragged your aunt to the back street to

watch a card game.”
“Sky and Tay are in the middle of their summer vacation. However, they will have exams. soon, so I enrolled them in extra classes.”
“Oh…”
