Chapter 406
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 406 Unharmed
âDoes getting all worked up and resentful help you solve any problems?â
Mandy remained silent.
âWell, shouldnât you at least show some concern for your friend in a situation like this? But look at you!â
She gestured towards the five empty yogurt bottles in front of Zachary. âYouâve already consumed so
many drinks, and you donât seem to be in a hurry!â
âTheyâre not my friends. Why should I be concerned?â Zachary set down the yogurt and lazily laced his
fingers behind his head. âTheyâre your friends, not mine.â
Mandy shot him an exasperated look. âYouâ¦!â
âIf theyâre not your friends, then what are they?â
âTools.â
Zachary smiled faintly and raised his hand to signal the waiter. âBring me five more bottles of yogurt.â
âYes, charge it to this ladyâs tab.â
Mandy was once again exasperated and left dumbfounded.
Once the following five yogurt bottles arrived, the man gave a nonchalant yawn and turned towards
Mandy. âOkay, quit it with that overly concerned expression.â
âDamien isnât an idiot. A grown man like him, if he canât handle a simple, innocent bunny..
Then, he wouldnât be worthy of being the heir of the Miles family.
With that in mind, he stretched lazily and directed his attention back to Mandy. âYouâre leaving for the
Tanner family in Europe in a few days, right?â
Mandy shot him an irritated look but stayed silent.
âCan I join you on a private jet? I want to go too.â
Cherise had a nightmare. In her dream, her uncle, Elvis, kept apologizing. Then Maeveâs unsettling
face berated and sneered at her, saying. âYouâre not worthy of my brother! Never!â
âHey, Cherryâ¦â
âCherry? Cherry dearâ¦

Suddenly, she heard a deep and husky voice repeatedly calling out to her. And the soothing voice
gradually chased away the unsettling and twisted face of Maeve.
In the end, she saw Damien standing by the sea. He stood there, a towering and commanding figure.
He smiled at her, calling her name time and time again.
All the anxiety and sorrow in her heart disappeared in an instant. Cherise rushed towards Damien,
arms wide open, shouting, âHubby, I will never mention the idea of us parting again. Even if the world
conspires to keep us apart, I wonâtâ¦â
Before Cherise could throw herself into Damienâs embrace, a person holding a knife appeared behind
him.
The person with sinister intentions would stab Damien, but the latter was unaware.
Cherise panicked and rushed over, pushing the assailant aside.
However, in the ensuing struggle, the knife ruthlessly pierced Cheriseâs palm, drawing blood.
In a sea of crimson, she could still hear Damien calling her name, âCherry⦠Cherry⦠Cherryâ¦!â
âDamien-!â
Cherise abruptly opened her eyes.
âIâm right here, my dear.â
Damien held her tightly in his arms. âYou had a nightmare.â
âI was calling out to you the whole time. Did you hear me?â
In her groggy state, Cherise quickly examined her hand and found it unharmed. The Damien before her
was also perfectly fine.
It had all been a dream!
With relief, she embraced Damien tightly. âHubby, I saw⦠you-
He grinned and kissed her lips. âYour dream was not real.â
âYouâve been sleeping all afternoon and throughout the night.â
âAre you feeling hungry?â
Cherise raised her head, only realizing she was still in the luxurious villa Damien had recently.
acquired.
But it was already the following day.
