Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 627 Cherise’s Reckless Purchase

Cherise and Zachary talked on the lawn in front of the kindergarten for a long time.

Their conversation was so lengthy that Serafina had managed to eat an entire plate of strawberries and was now frolicking around the lawn with Soren. Their laughter echoed as they played with the remote-controlled toy helicopter.

“Mommy, I’m hungry!” As dusk began to settle, Serafina’s energy finally depleted. She ran towards Cherise while blinking pitifully. “Mommy, I want to go home and eat pierogis!”

“You should head home.” Zachary looked down at his expensive steel watch. “It’s getting late, and the kids have school tomorrow.”

“And we haven’t eaten yet!” Serafina chimed in with a pleading expression.

Cherise gave her a knowing look. “Didn’t you just devour a whole plate of strawberries from Uncle Zach? Are you hungry already?”

Serafina pouted. “Eating fruit isn’t enough. It’s not filling!”

“You have a bottomless stomach!” Soren teased his sister mercilessly. “Why am I full?”

“Because you’re a dummy!”

“You are!”
