Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 626

Chapter 626 A Solitary Life

Zachary nodded.

“The patient I performed surgery on that day… was Damien’s sister.”

Zachary nodded again. “Was that how you got involved with him again?”

“I wouldn’t exactly describe it as getting involved.” Cherise sighed lightly. “But it does seem like he wants to reconcile with me.”

She continued narrating her recent encounters with Damien to Zachary. Naturally, she omitted the part about a certain… incident with Damien that had transpired in the hospital staff dormitory…

“It appears he still harbors feelings for you.” Zachary looked at sunset on the horizon before turning to look at Soren, playing with the remote-controlled toy helicopter on the grass before him. “Sometimes I find myself envying Damien.”

“The person he loves also reciprocates his feelings. He has a family and a woman who loves him wholeheartedly.”

His dark eyes were as clear as ever, but there was a hint of anguish that Cherise couldn’t quite explain or comprehend.

Upon looking at his side profile, she felt an odd sense of guilt. “You’ll find someone like that eventually.”

“Me?” After a moment, Zachary turned to look at her and chuckled at himself. “You don’t

need to console me.”

“As for me…” He glanced at Cherise indifferently, a flicker of exasperation in his eyes. “I’m afraid I’ll live a solitary life.”

Serafina blinked as she was eating strawberries at the side. “Mommy, what does that mean?”

Cherise was taken aback and was unsure how to explain it to the little girl. But Zachary reached out and gently tousled the child’s hair. “Living a solitary life… means that nobody likes Uncle Zach.”

“How can that be?” Serafina’s eyes instantly widened in surprise. “You’re so kind, Uncle Zach. Many people like you! I really like you, Uncle Zach!”
