Chapter 762 Second Time in Ziphon
A warm wave washed over Cherise. She’d considered bringing the kids but decided against it. Zachary was hurt because of her, and their visit to Miles Manor would likely be met with cold shoulders. She was prepared for that, knowing she was at fault.
But Soren and Serafina were innocent, and she didn’t want the Miles’ judgment and potential mistreatment to taint their hearts.
To her surprise, Soren had shown remarkable maturity by suggesting they visit their grandfather, Clinton. instead.
Taking a deep breath, she walked forward and embraced the children. “Remember, listen to your grandpa and great-grandpa while you’re there. Be good, don’t cause any trouble, and be nice to Aunt Mandy, okay?”
Serafina wiped away a tear. “Yes, Mommy! You have to make sure Uncle Zac gets better. Ren said Uncle Zac will be getting married soon. And he promised if he does, he wants Ren and me to be the flower boy and girl! Don’t forget!”
Cherise smiled and playfully pinched Serafina’s cheek. “Of course, sweetie!”
Serafina glanced at Soren, then tiptoed closer to whisper a secret in her mother’s ear, “Mommy, when are you going to marry Mr. Handsome? Then I get to call him Daddy!”
Cherise blushed, momentarily speechless.
“Soon. As she scrambled for a reply, a deep voice echoed behind them.
The next moment, a man’s arms were around Serafina. “Would you like to be the flower girl, Serafina?”
Serafina’s eyes lit up. “Yes! Ren and I agreed that if Mr. Handsome and Mommy get married, we’ll be the flower boy and girl!
Soren’s face turned beet red when he heard his sister’s words.
He shoved his hands into his pockets, trying to be cool, and looked away with a huff. “Who wants to be a flower boy with you?! I don’t even like the idea of them getting married!”
Serafina’s eyes welled up with tears. “Boo-hoo! Ren broke his promise! You were the one who told me to ask Mommy when will she get married! Ren was the one who said he wanted to be a flower boy, and I, a flower girl! And now you’re saying you never said that?! You’re a big liar, Ren!”
The little girl wiped away her tears, her twin ponytails bobbing with her sobs, looking absolutely adorable.
Cherise couldn’t help but chuckle. She knelt in front of Soren and teased him with a playful smile. “What’s going on here, my dear? You should never bluff your sister.”
Soren turned away, his cheeks still rosy. “I was just saying… I don’t care when you two get married, but I don’t want to call that guy Daddy”
After calming the children down, Damien swiftly arranged for a private jet to fly Lyra and the unconscious Zachary to Ziphon.
This was Cherise’s second time in Ziphon. Her last visit had been five years ago, after Charisa’s passing. Time flew by. It was hard to believe it had been five years already. Yet, the city seemed frozen in time, unchanged.
Since Cherise had informed Zachary’s father beforehand, representatives from Miles Manor were waiting for them at the airport.
Zachary’s stepmother, stepbrother, and a clearly upset Kareen were among them.
Zachary’s mother had passed away years ago, and his father had remarried. As the first wife’s children, he and Kareen weren’t the favorites at home, which explained their close bond with Charisa.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
