Chapter 368 Nightmare
“Yeah…”
Cherise trembled, still feeling the lingering effects of the nightmare. “I-I dreamt that Uncle Shaw was burned alive in a fire!” Tears trickled down her cheeks. “But he wouldn’t let me save him, saying it was his destiny!”
She wiped away her tears and reached for her phone to call Elvis. However, as soon as the call connected, she quickly hung up.
“Ah…” she sniffed. “If he hears me crying, he’ll probably think it’s your fault. I can’t call him
now!”
She put the phone away and snuggled back into Damien’s embrace.
As soon as Elvis saw her missed call, he called back. As the phone vibrated on the bed, Cherise looked at Damien with fear in her eyes. “I don’t dare to answer it…”
He shook his head in exasperation and answered the call.
“Hi, Uncle Shaw.”
“Damien?” Elvis smiled on the other end. “Why did Cherise call at this hour?”
“She had a nightmare about you and was worried.” Damien teased the woman in his arms. “She woke up sobbing, saying she missed you and called you immediately. But then, she hung up, afraid that you might tease her.”
Cherise angrily bit into his chest, which was exposed through the collar of his shirt.
“Silly girl,” Elvis said with a laugh. “Tell her I won’t tease her and ask her to come to the phone.”
Damien handed her the phone. “Sure.”
“Cherry?” Elvis asked fondly.
Cherise glared at Damien before running to the balcony with the phone in her hand.
