Chapter 395 I Need You
He furrowed his brow and answered the call.
âI understand.â
Zacharyâs inquisitive expression vanished. He spoke coldly to the person on the phone. âHe wonât die.â
âHe wonât go to prison either.â
âOutsiders have no right to interfere in the matters of the Miles family
âAunt Charisa despises people who break their promises.â
âItâs not the right time yet. Once the time is right, Iâll bring the person back to the Miles family.â
Cherise sat in her seat, sipping her tea as she listened to Zacharyâs solemn voice. It felt strange to see
him so serious.
If she were being honest, she would say he looked handsome in that moment.
Zachary appeared nothing like his usual talkative self. It was as if he had transformed into an entirely
different person.
This made her wonder which version of Zachary was his true self.
Zachary soon ended the call.
He let out a long sigh and turned to Cherise with a playful grin. âWhy are you looking at me like that?
Have you fallen in love with me?â
Cherise rolled her eyes.
She should have known better than to expect him to behave normally.
After lunch, Cherise attempted to end the tutoring session with Zachary
âZachary, you saw for yourself this morning.â
âI can study perfectly fine and focus properly without your help.
Cherise fooked at him seriously. âWhy donât you deal with your own matters? You donât have to study
with me anymore.â
âTo be honest, I never planned on getting a tutor. I only accepted the tutoring because my counselor
was so excited about it. I didnât want to disappoint him.â
âNo, no, no.â Zachary wagged his finger. âYou need me.â
1/3
Cherise groaned in frustration. âI donât need you here.â
âNo, you need me.â
Zachary looked at her and smirked with amusement. âIf you insist on saying that you donât need me,
then Iâll say I need you.â
Cherise was left speechless.
âSo, youâre determined to accompany me while I study for the exam?â
âThatâs right.â
Zachary nodded solemnly. âI have to ensure that you achieve the highest grades in your subjects. Only
then can I return home and report my success.â
Cherise didnât know what to say.
It seemed he wasnât lying about being assigned to monitor her studying.
Still, Cherise couldnât slack off with Zachary around.
For the next few days, she maintained the habit of waking up at seven to go to the library and returning
home at nine in the evening-
Even Damien complimented her on how hardworking she was.
Everything seemed to be going well.
Within three days, Cherise not only completed the homework for the classes she missed, but she. also
reviewed the lecture notes for each subject.
There were only three days left until finals.
On the fourth day, Cherise woke up early and was getting ready to go to the library when Mandy
called.
âSisâ¦â
Mandy sounded timid on the phone. âCan you accompany me to Wool Residence?â
Cherise was taken aback. It was then that she realized it had been four days since she last visited.
Mandy.
In other words, Mandy had likely finished the medication and would be preparing to move to Tanner
Residence.
Then, Cherise remembered Mandy tearfully mentioning that she wanted to go to Wool Residence to
collect the things her mother had left behind.

She pursed her lips and considered. âSure, Iâll ask Blake to come with us.â
If the Wool family were to cause trouble, Blake would retaliate immediately.
âSureâ¦â
Mandy pursed her lips. âHonestly⦠I was hoping you would bring Damien to accompany usâ¦
âHowever, Damien refused when I called him.â
Cherise fell silent for a moment.
