A happy smile gently tugged at the corners of the woman's lips.
She had once yearned for such a day when Damien and their two children were joyfully gathered around her. It seemed that her dream had finally come to fruition!
She yawned and was about to drift back to sleep when her phone rang at the side. It was a call from Zachary.
"I saw the news. Congratulations." The man's voice on the other end of the line was slightly playful. "You're finally happy again, Bunny. That makes me happy, too."
Cherise's cheeks flushed slightly, and she laughed shyly. "I didn't expect the news to reach Ziphon so quickly..."
"Mm." Zachary chuckled, "Because you and the kids are in Adania, I pay special attention to the news there. My fiancée knows I'm interested in Adania's affairs, so she updates me on the daily news there."
"I see." Cherise was about to respond when she abruptly thought of something! "Did you just say... your fiancée?"
"Yes." On the other end of the line, Zachary's voice was slightly amused. "Did I forget to mention I'm engaged?"
"You never mentioned it!" Cherise's sleepy eyes instantly lit up. "When did you even get engaged?!"
Wasn't Zachary still single when I left Lermille? How did he get engaged so quickly!?
"It happened in the last couple of days," Zachary spoke fondly about his fiancée. "We fell in love at first sight and continued falling deeper in love. She's the first woman I spent the night with. Hence, I decided to spend the rest of my life with her and proposed."
It's been less than a week... and they're... engaged?
