Chapter 733 Zachary is Engaged
Damien’s brows furrowed slightly. “Good news?” His dark eyes settled on Cherise’s abdomen. “Are you expecting again?”
Cherise was flabbergasted. She glared at him fiercely. “Can’t you think of anything else?”
With one hand gripping the steering wheel, Damien reclined in the driver’s seat. He turned to look at her tenderly. “We’ve been intimate a few times in Lermille. Isn’t it reasonable to suspect you might be pregnant?”
“Well, that’s reasonable… But that’s not what I meant!” She glared at him in exasperation. “What I’m trying to say is… Zachary is engaged!”
This news seemed to take Damien by surprise, “He’s engaged?”
If his memory served him right, Zachary still had feelings for Cherise the last time they met in Lermille. Did he get engaged so quickly?
“Yeah, I was taken aback, too.” Cherise looked at Damien with a smile. “But he said he fell head over heels. for his fiancée, so they quickly got engaged!”
She was practically dancing with joy. “He also mentioned he would bring his fiancée to Adania for a visit in a few days!” As she spoke, she started planning what delectable dishes to prepare for Zachary and his fiancée…
Damien looked at the excited woman helplessly. “Why weren’t you this excited over our engagement?”
“We’re an old couple. What’s there to be excited about?”
After she said it, the car fell silent. Cherise finally sensed something was wrong and instinctively looked up. The man was leaning back in his seat and gazing at her intently. He didn’t utter a word.
Cherise felt a bit uneasy under his gaze. She pursed her l*ps, avoiding his gaze somewhat guiltily. “Why are. you looking at me like that…”
“I’m pondering.” The man looked at her, his gaze intense. “Since we’re an old couple, how can I excite you?” His tone grew more solemn. “Was everything I previously arranged for you not enough?”
Cherise was flabbergasted. Isn’t this man reading too much into it?
She pursed her l*ps. After a brief silence, she leaned closer to Damien and k*ssed his cheek. “I’m just glad Zachary has found happiness, and I can finally wish him well. What you prepared was more than enough… I appreciate everything you do for me.”
The man smiled faintly, pulling her into his embrace. “You appreciate everything?”
“Mm.”
“Including what we did last night in bed?”
Cherise was dumbfounded.

Zachary and his fiancée were due to arrive in Adania in three days. To have ample time to show Zachary’s fiancée around Adania, Cherise even took a few days off from the research institute.
The research institute was very understanding. Although Cherise had just started working there recently. her supervisor readily agreed to her asking for time off.
“But, Cherise.” On the other end of the phone, Mr. Whitlock cleared his throat. “You promised me you would write the thesis we agreed upon at home.”
“Mr. Whitlock, rest a*sured!” Cherise quickly nodded, “I’ll submit the paper before I go on leave! Don’t worry. I’ll get it done!”
The girl’s resolute and earnest voice made Mr. Whitlock chuckle on the other end of the phone. “Alright, remember to keep your word!”
After exchanging pleasantries with Mr. Whitlock, Cherise began to badger Damien to take her home to write her paper. Although she promised to finish her thesis before she went on leave, she actually planned. to complete it in two days.
