Chapter 585 A Hypocrite
Cherise was taken aback. Are the flowers meant for me?
“Behind you!”
Upon realizing that the flowers were intended for their lecturer, the students in the classroom exclaimed, “That’s our lecturer! She’s behind you!”
“Ms. Shaw, these flowers are for you.” The courier handed Cherise a large bouquet of roses. “The sender wanted me to convey that you are the light of his life, and his love for you has never diminished.”
Cherise was speechless and stared blankly at the bouquet in her hands. Who could have sent these?
The first person that came to mind was Zachary..
She was extremely nervous when she first started teaching at the university.
Not only did she prepare for her classes three days in advance, but she also had Zachary act as her student. and listen to her rehearse her lectures repeatedly.
After her first public lecture, Zachary gave her a large bouquet of lilies as encouragement. After that, he continued to send her flowers after every class for several weeks.
Sometimes, he sent her lilies, and sometimes he sent her lavender flowers. But he had never sent her roses, let alone such a large bouquet. Moreover, Zachary hadn’t sent her flowers for over a year since she had asked him to stop.
“Dr. Shaw, did your husband send these?”
A girl sitting in the front row smiled at Cherise. “You’re so fortunate, Dr. Shaw!”
Cherise laughed awkwardly. Others have always been curious about her husband since she had two children.
She eventually made an agreement with Zachary. They would pretend to be married and that he was her husband. This deterred the men who pursued her and saved her the trouble of explaining why she was a single mom every time.
Therefore, many thought Zachary was her husband. Few knew that he was actually more like a brother to
her.
“Pift”
Jordyn sneered. She was the student who had questioned Cherise earlier. Amidst the envious and admiring comments regarding Cherise, she coldly remarked, “She may be fortunate, but what about the people she hurt?”
