Charise hurriedly left Lenoir Manor in her bathroom slippers. However, when she arrived at the location indicated in Zacharyâs photo, Elvis and Zachary were already gone.
Ail she could see was the motorcade disappearing in the distance.
Cherise watched them vanish and clenched her fists.
Her hands trembled as she tried to call Zachary.
Zachary declined her call.
Instead, she received a message a moment later. âWeâll meet eventually. Donât worry!â
Cherise gritted her teeth.
How can I not worry?
If Maeve hadnât convinced Mr. Kolson to take action against Damien, I would have arrived in Ziphon and searched for Uncle Shaw in Miles Manor!
Now that Uncle Shaw has returned to Adania, how can I not be anxious to see him?
Moreover, based on Zacharyâs photo and the position of the road signâŠ.
Furthermore, the direction Uncle Shaw was looking⊠Itâs Lenoir Manor!
Uncle Shaw stood near the manor and gazed at me!
A wave of sadness overwhelmed Cherise as she imagined the scene.
Knowing that he had been there just a moment ago made her feel even worse.
If she had left the house earlier, she would have met her uncle.
Cherise let out a sigh and bit her lower lip. Her hands trembled nervously as she replied to Zacharyâs message. Where are you?â
âI want to see him.
âDonât be anxious.
Zachary remained calm and unconcerned. âSince Ms. Charisa brought him to Adania, youâll have at
chance to meet him.
Cherise gritted her teeth. âWhen will I get to meet him?â
I believe that meeting Aunt Charisa should excite you more than meeting Elvis.â
Bunny, donât you want to see Aunt Charisa? Arenât you curious about what she looks like?â
C
Cherise held her phone tightly and was momentarily stunned.
She couldnât deny that she wanted to meet Charisa.
Her grandfather had described Charisa as the most intelligent person in their family.
Moreover, Cherise had heard how much she resembled Charisa. Therefore, she was eager to meet the woman who had brought her into the world and cherished her.
However, these desires were overshadowed by her longing to see her uncle.
Even though she anticipated meeting her biological mother, it couldnât compare to her concern for her uncle, who had raised her for nineteen years.
While this may seem harsh towards her mother, Cherise couldnât help it. After all, humans are emotional beings.
Despite being related by blood, Cherise had no memories of her mother. On the other hand, her uncle. had cared for her for nineteen years.
âThatâs all for now!
Seeing that Cherise didnât respond, Zachary sighed and sent another message. âAunt Charisa will meet you eventually.
âElvis will be safe if you agree to meet Aunt Charisa,
âSince Aunt Charisa wants to hear you call her âMom,â why would she mistreat your uncle?â
Cherise was stunned. Her anxious heart gradually calmed down.
From her motherâs perspective, Elvis had taken Cherise away and refused to return her.
Thus, Cherise feared that her mother would hold a grudge against her uncle and mistreat him.
But Zacharyâs words brought her peace of mind.
Cherise exhaled and put her phone away.
She turned around and found Beckham standing behind her.
He kept staring at the direction the motorcade had gone, his gaze filled with sadness.
Cherise couldnât comprehend the emotions in his eyes, nor did she want to.
She pursed her lips. âThey left.â
âYes.â
Beckham snapped out of his thoughts and patted Cheriseâs head. âThey must have discovered that Iâm here.â
