Chapter 409 Hitching A Plane Ride.
“In the afternoon, we’ll go see your uncle,” he suggested, noticing Cherise’s slightly swollen eyes. “You
wouldn’t want your Uncle to see you like this, right? How about using a warm compress, and once
you’re feeling better, we’ll head over, okay?”
Cherise hesitated for a moment but then nodded in agreement.
She hurried upstairs, holding a towel soaked in hot water. Just as she placed it on her eyes, her phone
started ringing. It was a call from Zachary
He seemed to be in a noisy and crowded place.
“Hey, Bunny!” The voice on the other end of the line was still clear, with a hint of playfulness,
Cherise pursed her lips. “Hmm.”
Honestly, she was grateful to Zachary for what happened the previous day. When she was in the study
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat the Wool Residence, Maeve’s words had deeply affected her.
At that moment, she genuinely believed that she wasn’t good enough for Damien and that breaking up
with him was the best option.
Fortunately, Zachary arrived just in time. He gave her a firm shake on the shoulders and used
comforting words to help her overcome her profound sorrow.
It was he who reminded her of the love she shared with Damien.
Cherise took a deep breath, her tone somewhat playful. “What’s up?”
Before, when Zachary annoyed her, she often found him irritating. She had even suspected that
Zachary might have hidden motives, especially with the somewhat ambiguous term ‘Bunny’ he used to
address her.
But now, Cherise felt she might have judged too quickly.
Zachary wasn’t as carefree as he seemed on the surface. At least, in a real crisis, he could be relied

“I want to bid you farewell.”
The man chuckled softly. “Hearing your cheerful voice, I guess everything is good now, right?”
“God knows how easily influenced and gullible you are, Bunny!”

Zachary grinned, I’m currently at the airport.”
“I’m here on a mission to bring someone back, and I’ve already found that person, so I won’t have time
to join you in your studies this time.”
“But, if you ever want to see me in the future, you’ll have to score perfectly in all your final exams;
otherwise, I won’t pay you a visit!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCherise pursed her lips. “I’ll be back in Adania in a few hours.”
“Are you leaving already? I won’t be able to see you off…”
“No need to see me off.”
Zachary smiled and said, “Well then. We’ll meet again soon.
“All good things must come to an end. It’s time for us to go our separate ways.”
The man’s tone shifted into surprising seriousness. “Value the time you have with Damien. If your bond
with him is tarnished by someone like Maeve, you’ll be the one who loses out.”
With that, he decisively ended the call.
Cherise listened to the sudden dial tone on the phone, feeling somewhat perplexed. Why did she get
the feeling that Zachary was more mysterious than she had previously thought?
Meanwhile, at the Adania airport, Mandy, holding her luggage, looked at Zachary and the stern- faced
Kareen beside him with disdain. “You two can’t be serious about hitching a ride on my flight, seriously?”
“Yes.” Zachary nodded, wearing a sly grin, and casually placed his hand on Kareen’s shoulder. “Ms.
Wool, please consider our situation. We weren’t given a generous budget for this trip!”
