Chapter 823 Learning From Romance Novels
Beckham removed his coat and tossed it into the trash can.
Cherise had a restful sleep and didn’t dream throughout the night. When she woke up the next day, it was already past ten.
Yawning, she got out of bed and realized that no one was beside her. She pouted and went to freshen up. As she picked up her phone to call Damien, she received a call from Zachary.
“Why are you calling so early?” Cherise asked, answering the call without checking the time.
Zachary sounded amused and exasperated. “My dear, it’s almost eleven o’clock. How is this early? How long did you sleep?”
Cherise was astonished. She glanced at the time before sheepishly smacking her forehead. “Um, what’s up?”
“Something is definitely up.” Zachary Miles sighed. “Lyra just called me, saying she’s waiting for me at city
hall
Cherise frowned. “What is she doing at city hall?”
“She wants to divorce me.”
Cherise almost spat out the mouthwash in her mouth. After a moment, she coughed and said, “Didn’t you, two just get married yesterday? Why does she want to divorce now?”
After saying that, she pursed her lips and asked Zachary solemnly, “Did you say something that made her think she shouldn’t have married you?”
Zachary laughed helplessly, “No way! Cherise, I admit that initially, I agreed to the engagement because I thought she was acceptable. But after experiencing her devotion all this time, she truly moved me. I sincerely want to grow old with her. Why would I hurt her or want to divorce her?”
Cherise held her phone in astonishment. She had never heard Zachary talk about his feelings for a woman. It felt strange.
Then, she took a deep breath and asked, “Did you call me because this is your first relationship, and you don’t know what to do?”
Zachary sighed helplessly. “You’ve guessed it. Why are you making fun of me? I’m not good at wooing ladies, especially someone like Lyra.
“She’s too emotional, always worried that I don’t like her enough, constantly thinking I see her as a substitute. No matter what I say, she interprets it negatively and insists on divorcing me. So, I have no choice but to turn to you. I’m afraid I’ll say more wrong things.
Cherise rubbed her temple helplessly. “Do you think I’m a love expert?”
“No.” Zachary chuckled. “But you’re her cousin and are as silly as her. People of the same kind can always
find common ground, right?”
Cherise was rendered speechless.
Why do I feel that this isn’t a compliment?
Still, considering that Zachary had been caring for her children for nearly five years, she didn’t bother arguing with him.
“That’s fine. I’ll contact Lyra now and have a good chat with her. But Zachary, expressing sincerity is much more than just talking. You should learn from Damien, read more romance novels, gain some insight, and learn how to be romantic.”
Zachary fell silent for a while. “Is what you learn from novels useful?”
Cherise nodded solemnly. “Certainly! I’m always delighted when Damien gives me flowers! Whenever he prepares a surprise for me, even though I appear calm, I’m overjoyed inside!”
“Really?” A deep male voice echoed in the room.
