Chapter 395 I Need You
He furrowed his brow and answered the call.
“I understand.”
Zachary’s inquisitive expression vanished. He spoke coldly to the person on the phone. “He won’t die.”
“He won’t go to prison either.”
“Outsiders have no right to interfere in the matters of the Miles family
“Aunt Charisa despises people who break their promises.”
“It’s not the right time yet. Once the time is right, I’ll bring the person back to the Miles family.”
Cherise sat in her seat, sipping her tea as she listened to Zachary’s solemn voice. It felt strange to see him so serious.
If she were being honest, she would say he looked handsome in that moment.
Zachary appeared nothing like his usual talkative self. It was as if he had transformed into an entirely different person.
This made her wonder which version of Zachary was his true self.
Zachary soon ended the call.
He let out a long sigh and turned to Cherise with a playful grin. “Why are you looking at me like that? Have you fallen in love with me?”
Cherise rolled her eyes.
She should have known better than to expect him to behave normally.
After lunch, Cherise attempted to end the tutoring session with Zachary
“Zachary, you saw for yourself this morning.”
“I can study perfectly fine and focus properly without your help.
Cherise fooked at him seriously. “Why don’t you deal with your own matters? You don’t have to study with me anymore.”
“To be honest, I never planned on getting a tutor. I only accepted the tutoring because my counselor was so excited about it. I didn’t want to disappoint him.”
“No, no, no.” Zachary wagged his finger. “You need me.”
1/3
Cherise groaned in frustration. “I don’t need you here.”
“No, you need me.”
Zachary looked at her and smirked with amusement. “If you insist on saying that you don’t need me, then I’ll say I need you.”
Cherise was left speechless.
“So, you’re determined to accompany me while I study for the exam?”
“That’s right.”
Zachary nodded solemnly. “I have to ensure that you achieve the highest grades in your subjects. Only then can I return home and report my success.”
Cherise didn’t know what to say.
It seemed he wasn’t lying about being a*signed to monitor her studying.
Still, Cherise couldn’t slack off with Zachary around.
For the next few days, she maintained the habit of waking up at seven to go to the library and returning home at nine in the evening-
Even Damien complimented her on how hardworking she was.
Everything seemed to be going well.
Within three days, Cherise not only completed the homework for the cla*ses she missed, but she. also reviewed the lecture notes for each subject.
There were only three days left until finals.
On the fourth day, Cherise woke up early and was getting ready to go to the library when Mandy
called.
“Sis…”
Mandy sounded timid on the phone. “Can you accompany me to Wool Residence?”
Cherise was taken aback. It was then that she realized it had been four days since she last visited. Mandy.
In other words, Mandy had likely finished the medication and would be preparing to move to Tanner Residence.
Then, Cherise remembered Mandy tearfully mentioning that she wanted to go to Wool Residence to collect the things her mother had left behind.

She pursed her l*ps and considered. “Sure, I’ll ask Blake to come with us.”
If the Wool family were to cause trouble, Blake would retaliate immediately.
“Sure…”
Mandy pursed her l*ps. “Honestly… I was hoping you would bring Damien to accompany us…
“However, Damien refused when I called him.”
Cherise fell silent for a moment.
