Chapter 487 You Are Not Welcome
“Your friend must be quite the foodie,” Sky said, grinning as he handed the menu to Cherise. “Our restaurant is thriving, but it’s mostly thanks to the elite city clientele who know about us through word. of mouth. Average folks don’t just stumble upon this remote spot.”
Cherise was taken aback and suddenly realized something. She called Zachary, “Did you arrange this restaurant for us, or was it… her?”
Zachary had visited Adania before and had made friends, while Cherise was visiting for the first time. How could she have known about this renowned eatery in Adania?
“Aunt Charisa made the reservation,” Zachary chuckled. “Isn’t it impressive? The truly impressive part is yet to come, Little Bunny. Aunt Charisa is bringing a b*dyguard today, and guess who it is? It’s Elvis!”
Cherise’s mind swirled. Suddenly, she felt disconnected, as if Zachary’s voice was coming from miles
away.
Zachary continued, “There’s still a lot you don’t know. I’ll fill you in later.”
After ending the call with Zachary, Cherise felt a jolt, as if her blood was flowing backward. So, all of this was orchestrated by her… Cherise thought, finding it hard to believe the extent of Charisa’s effort.
“Cherry.” Sky interrupted Cherise’s thoughts, “My mom doesn’t know you and your friend are today’s guests yet. You better order quickly. If she checks and finds out you’re here, she might ask you to leave.”
“Would Aunt really kick me out?” Cherise asked.
“Absolutely!” Sky leaned in and whispered, “Mom said if you and your pals show up, she will kick you out without service!”
Cherise winced, feeling a pang in her heart. Quickly, she looked through the menu. The listed dishes were the special ones her aunt used to prepare back in Shaw’s Village. Looking at the menu, Cherise vividly remembered the taste of these dishes.
She ordered some of the dishes she loved in the past, then waved Sky away.
Sky took Cherise’s order menu to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, Sarah was elated about the extensive order for the day.
When Sky handed her the order menu, Sarah’s brow furrowed immediately. She noticed that the order completely matched Cherise’s preferences.
Sarah frowned deeply, giving Sky a sharp look. “Do you know today’s guest?”
Sky was startled and hastily shook his head. “No, I… I don’t know…”
“People who visit us are from the city; how could I recognize them?”
His response only deepened Sarah’s suspicions. Frowning, she nudged Sky aside and stormed towards the private dining room.

The door was pushed openabruptly with a thud.
As Cherise looked up, she was met with Sarah’s cold, slightly angry gaze.
“Cherise, you’re not welcome here! I’ve made it clear-I won’t attend your wedding or have any a*sociation with you!”
Cherise bit her l*p, staring straight at Sarah. Even though she understood Sarah’s intentions to sever their ties to the past so that she could get back to her birth parents, Sarah’s tone and stare still tugged at
her heart.
Pursing her l*ps, she gazed at Sarah with eyes full of anguish. “Aunt Sarah, do you really dislike me that much?”
