Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 489 Death Is Inevitable
The early autumn weather brought a chill to the air. Charisa wore a slim-fit, moon-white dress adorned with embroidered flowers. Her hair
cascaded elegantly, and her whole demeanor exuded a proud and aloof temperament.
Despite her usual cold and distant expression, she was willing to accommodate Cheriseâs wish to keep. the surname she had grown up with.
âLetâs head in for dinner!â Elvis called out, taking Sarahâs hand and leading the way to the dining room. âIs the meal ready?â
Embarrassed, Sarah shook her head. âNot yet⦠I noticed Sky was taking Cheriseâs order, so I hurried out without preparing anything.
âCome on, Iâll help you. Whereâs the kitchen?â Elvis took the lead and swiftly led Sarah to the kitchen.
Outside, Charisa stood at the door. Meanwhile, Cherise was by the dining room entrance, and Zachary stood next to Cherise.
âShall we, ladies?â Zachary quipped, playfully opening the door. âWhy donât we head inside? The sun is quite strong; I wouldnât want anyone
getting tanned, especially someone who will be a bride in a few days!â

Cherise blushed and turned away.
Just before entering the dining room, Cherise paused, remembering something. She turned back, offering a slight smile to Charisa. âMom, come
in.â
A glimmer of warmth flashed in Charisaâs typically serene eyes. Without a word, she calmly walked through the doorway and followed Cherise
into the room.
The dining room carried a traditional, rustic charm. Sarah was an industrious woman. Apart from the existing furnishings, the room was
decorated with many handmade pieces, like cross-stitch and embroidered flowers.
Seated, Charisa surveyed the room with a composed gaze. âDid you live in a place like this?â
Cherise, momentarily caught off guard, nodded quickly. âYes. It wasnât as well-maintained as it is now, but the setting is quite similar.â
âIt must have been tough for you.â Charisa looked at her, speaking with a poised tone.
Cherise was surprised. âNo, not at all!â
âI enjoyed living in the countryside with its fresh air and scenic landscape. Growing vegetables and being self-reliant⦠It was quite delightful.â
âIs that so?â Charisa raised her teacup, taking a sip. âBefore I pass on, I should spend some time in the countryside.â
Then, she turned to gaze outside at the mountains, waters, and blue sky. âIn reality, it wouldnât be a bad

place to die.â

âAunt Charisa!â Zachary frowned, interjecting sternly. âWhat are you talking about? Cherry might get the wrong idea if you keep talking about
such things.â
Charisa was slightly taken aback, turning to smile faintly at Zachary, âYouâre right. Letâs not discuss such matters at the table.â She glanced at
Cherise. âAnd what did you just call me?â
Cherise hesitated before speaking, âI called you⦠Mom.â She looked a bit pale, staring at Charisa. âWhat did you mean by what you said
earlier?â
âIt was just a passing thought.â Charisa calmly placed down her teacup. âI was just contemplating the idea of passing away in a serene place,
should the opportunity arise.â
She smiled at Cherise. âAfter all, death is inevitable, isnât it?â
