As soon as Yina finished speaking, Cherry Miller instinctively followed her gaze and met Ethan Yin's eyes, standing behind Cecilia Grant.
After all that hard work, there were finally results.
When the celebration banquet ended, Cherry Miller packaged up photos and notes about the current state of Sunset Manor and sent them to Cecilia Grant.
Cecilia Grant quickly looked through the files Cherry Miller sent, then smiled and said to Charles Yin, "Cherry really is a hardworking kid. In such a short time, she turned a half-finished Sunset Manor into a completed masterpiece. Just look at these buildings—you can tell how much effort she put in."
Charles Yin took the tablet from Cecilia Grant, looked through everything from start to finish, and also smiled, "Your judgment has never been wrong. This kid really is promising. Having her work with Yina puts our minds at ease."
Cecilia Grant looked over it a few more times and said, "The weather's getting hotter, and this year we don't really want to go out for summer vacation—why not stay at the manor for a few days?"
The next day, several large trucks arrived, delivering daily necessities for Cecilia Grant and her group. Cherry Miller directed the staff to arrange everything neatly.
Cecilia Grant thought of Ethan Yin, hesitated, and held back her words.
On the fourth day, Cecilia Grant and Charles Yin arrived at Sunset Manor with the kids, traveling by RV.
Cherry Miller kept giving herself pep talks before finally raising a smile and greeting everyone: "Mrs. Grant, Mr. Yin, you've arrived! Didn't Mr. Yin come?"
Cherry Miller led Cecilia Grant and the others on a tour of all the facilities at Sunset Manor, smiling as she said, "All the basic infrastructure is complete. There are still a few minor adjustments to be made, but those will have to wait until next year—otherwise, it might affect the crops on the mountain."
Cecilia Grant patted Cherry Miller's arm and said, "You did a great job, thank you for all your hard work."
"It's all part of my job," Cherry Miller replied with a smile. "Mrs. Grant, your bedroom and Mr. Yin's are arranged on the east side of the second floor. When you open the window, you'll see a vast sea of flowers and the natural swimming pool—it's a beautiful view. Would you like to rest first?"
Cecilia Grant knew Cherry Miller needed to organize the others, so she nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go check out the room first. You show everyone else around."
After receiving Cecilia Grant's email, Cherry Miller immediately sprang into action.
She directed the house procurement staff to restock all household supplies.
Miles Gu got out of the RV with Cecilia Grant, smiling as he helped Cherry Miller out: "Yina, you're throwing a fit again, aren't you? Cherry's been borrowed by Mom to help manage Sunset Manor, and she's super busy. You want her running around for you too—don't you have a conscience?"
Cecilia Grant laughed and said, "That's right, Yina. Cherry's helping me manage the manor now, so let her off the hook!"
She instructed her assistant to make sure everything at Sunset Manor—communications, internet, hygiene, health, and access—was stable.
On top of that, Cherry Miller had the workers bring over all the flowers they'd been cultivating at home, piling them into a small scenic garden just a few steps from the Natural Swimming Pool.
The Natural Swimming Pool had already been reinforced and repaired to ensure there were no safety risks. A row of Rest Cabins was built nearby so people could relax after swimming.
And so on, and so forth.
Cherry Miller organized everything in an orderly fashion.
A week later, several buses arrived first.
The people who came were security staff from the old Yin Family residence. They set up security measures at Sunset Manor ahead of time, making sure the whole estate was under their surveillance.
Cherry Miller assisted them, helping install all the equipment.
The next day, several large trucks arrived, delivering daily necessities for Cecilia Gu and her group. Cherry Miller directed the staff to arrange everything neatly.
On the third day, a truck loaded with fresh produce arrived—vegetables and fruits all grown in the Yin Family's own estate, guaranteed to be organic and pollution-free.
On the fourth day, Cecilia Gu and Charles Yin arrived at Sunset Manor with the kids, traveling by RV.
Cherry Miller stood at the entrance of the manor, dressed in her housekeeper's uniform, ready to welcome them.
"Wow! Cherry, you're amazing! How did you get so much done in such a short time?" Yina Yin jumped out of the RV and threw her arm around Cherry Miller's neck, looking close and cheerful. "You're so capable—hurry up and come back to me! When you're not around, I feel suffocated! Those other people just aren't as good as you. I have to spell everything out for them before they know what to do. But you're the best—I don't have to say a word, and you already know what I want."
Cherry Miller's eyes shone with excitement too.
It had been so long since she'd seen Yina Yin—she missed her a lot.
"Miss..." Cherry started to say, but was interrupted by Yina Yin: "Don't call me Miss! Call me Yina! If you don't listen, I'll make you deal with my brother every day!"
Cherry Miller had no choice but to change her tone: "Yina, those assistants are all professionals—you shouldn't nitpick."
"Hmph, I don't care—I just don't like them!" Yina Yin said with a bossy air. "I only like having you around."
Miles Gu got out of the RV with Cecilia Gu, smiling as he helped Cherry Miller out: "Yina, you're throwing a fit again, aren't you? Cherry's been borrowed by Mom to help manage Sunset Manor, and she's super busy. You want her running around for you too—don't you have a conscience?"
Cecilia Gu laughed and said, "That's right, Yina. Cherry's helping me manage the manor now, so let her off the hook!"
Yina Yin finally grumbled, "Fine, fine. Can't I even complain a little?"
Yina Yin glanced back and saw Ethan Yin, then called out, "Bro, what are you dawdling back there for?"
As soon as Yina finished speaking, Cherry Miller instinctively followed her gaze and met Ethan Yin's eyes, standing behind Cecilia Gu.
The moment Cherry Miller saw Ethan Yin, her heart trembled violently.
She thought that after all this time apart, she'd be able to let go of Ethan Yin.
But this chapter isn't over yet ^.^—please click next page to keep reading!
But now she realized—that was just wishful thinking.
It was only an illusion.
From start to finish, she'd never let go.
Ethan Yin quickly glanced at Cherry Miller, then looked away as if he hadn't seen her at all. His face was calm, showing no emotion.
Cherry Miller clenched her fists again, silently telling herself: Cherry, just let go! Ethan Yin has lost interest in you, just like you wanted. He doesn't love you anymore, he doesn't care about you anymore—you're just a little housekeeper!
Cherry Miller kept giving herself pep talks before finally raising a smile and greeting everyone: "Mrs. Yin, Mr. Field, Mr. Yin, you've arrived! Didn't the gentleman come?"
Cecilia Gu smiled and said, "Charles still has a few things to take care of, but he'll be here soon. Cherry, thank you for all your hard work."
"It's what I should do." Cherry Miller stepped up beside Cecilia Gu and walked in with her.
She never once looked back at Ethan Yin.
Ethan Yin's gaze was glued to Cherry Miller's back, making her spine stiffen.
"Bro?" Yina Yin suddenly grabbed Ethan Yin's arm and shot him a warning look.
Her meaning was clear: Don't you dare bully Cherry!
Only then did Ethan Yin look away, pretending not to care as he glanced around at the others.
Yina Yin finally relaxed.
She'd come today specifically to make sure her brother didn't bully Cherry!
Cherry had been her best friend since childhood—even her own brother wasn't allowed to bully her!
