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 lips, avoiding his gaze somewhat guiltily. "Why are you looking at me like that…"
Cherise was flabbergasted. Isn't this man reading too much into it?
