Chatper 625
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 625 Is It Costly?
Since Lucy chooses to be so foolish⦠she can leave with Cherise!
After all, if Cherise leaves, Isaac will never be the top doctor here with Lucy around.
When Cherise went to pick Soren and Serafina up from kindergarten, she saw a familiar face at the gate. It was
Zachary.
At that moment, Zachary was seated on a bench at the entrance, meticulously plucking off strawberry seeds and
feeding the little girl beside him. Serafinaâs rosy lips smacked as she munched on the strawberries. On his other
side, Soren was controlling a small toy helicopter that buzzed overhead with a remote control.
Upon seeing Cherise, Zachary rose to his feet and greeted her with a warm smile.
âMommy, come here!â Soren called out to her excitedly, âLook! This is a remote-control helicopter Uncle Zach got
for me. Isnât it awesome?
Cherise stared blankly at the toy helicopter hovering in the sky.
The stylish, beautifully designed, first-rate toy helicopter seemed to be made of alloy. With one glance, Cherise
knew it was expensive.
Cherise furrowed her brows and quickly approached Zachary. She looked at him gratefully. âIâve told you thereâs no
need to buy him such costly toysâ¦â
âIs it costly?â Zachary responded with a faint smile, âI managed to get a good deal on this toy helicopter. Itâs only
one thousand eight hundred.â
Cherise was taken aback when she heard the figure. She smiled, somewhat embarrassed. âYou found out?â
The lipstick Cherise had purchased for Kareen with her own money at the makeup store earlier also cost one
thousand eight hundred.
Showing up at the kindergarten and buying a toy for Soren that cost the same as the lipstick clearly indicated that
Zachary knew about the afternoonâs events.
Zachary nodded indifferently. /âKareen has always caused problems. Iâve reprimanded her.â
âItâs just in her nature.â Cherise shook her head, looking slightly embarrassed. âGiven her personality, Iâm not
surprised she would do something like that.â
âAs for you.â The man sat on the bench and continued to meticulously scrape away strawberry seeds for Serafina
before gently placing them in her tiny hand. âDespite your
constant disagreements and arguments with her, why would you buy her lipstick out of spite?â
Cherise pursed her lips. âBecause sheâs your sisterâ¦â
It was mainly because she had been too slow to respond today.
Kareen had abruptly changed the topic as they spoke and wanted Cherise to buy her lipstick. Cherise had felt
cornered.
âCare to sit and chat for a bit?â Zachary moved aside for Cherise, gesturing for her to sit beside him.
Cherise pursed her lips. She scanned the deserted kindergarten, ensured no one was watching, and cautiously sat
beside him.
âOther than telling me about your encounter at the makeup store this afternoon, Kareen also mentioned something
elseâ¦â
Cherise gazed at the golden sun slowly setting in the distance, feeling a pang of guilt. She had a hunch⦠about
what he was going to say.
âHow long has Damien been in Lermille?â
Cherise pursed her lips, âNot⦠not very long.â
For some reason, she felt guilty when Zachary calmly inquired about Damien, as if she was cheating on Zachary.
But she clearly didnât have that kind of relationship with Zachary or Damienâ¦
Taking a deep breath, the woman attempted to compose herself. âDo you recall the day I had a thirteen-hour
surgery and asked you to pick up the kids?â
