Chapter 491 They Were Not In Love

Cherise sat at the table, her lips pressed tightly together while her hands clenched under the table.

In the brief ten minutes they had been seated, Charisa had mentioned death for the third time.Cherise’s intuition strongly suggested that Charisa didn’t say these words lightly.

Cherise’s lips quivered, and she instinctively reached for Charisa’s hand, but the woman evaded hertouch with calm composure. “I’m not comfortable with physical contact.”

She glanced indifferently at Cherise, then rose from her seat and walked out. “I’ll go check on whatthey’re cooking.

With those words, she left Cherise in the wake of her cold and distant departure.

Cherise’s hand froze mid-air, leaving her with a profound sense of loneliness.

Biting her lip, she turned to Zachary. “She…”

Zachary’s frown deepened, his gaze unusually serious. “What are you trying to say?”

“Her health…” Cherise murmured, her fist tightening.

“She is fine. Zachary’s brows furrowed slightly as he looked at her. “Don’t read too much into it. AuntCharisa has been a bit more sentimental than usual lately.”

“And she genuinely dislikes physical contact. My uncle passed away over a decade ago, and she hasbeen living alone all these years. No children, no friends. She only lets Kareen and me get a bit closer.So, try to understand her. It’s not that she rejects your touch. She’s just not used to being touched byanyone,” Zachary explained, attempting to soothe Cherise’s unease about Charisa’s behavior.

Cherise bit her lip, a tinge of bitterness settling within her.

She had felt a deep connection with Charisa, thinking she genuinely cared. However, Charisa seemedso accustomed to solitude that it didn’t allow any space for emotional expressions.

Cherise sniffled. “So, about her… and your uncle, were they in love?”

Considering Charisa’s solitary life for over a decade, she assumed that her not remarrying was due to adeep affection for Zachary’s uncle.

She knew very little about Charisa. Beyond knowing that she was her biological mother and the head ofthe Miles Family, she had no knowledge about anything else.

When she had previously asked why her mother left her father, Grandpa had been vague. All he hadsaid was that Charisa felt unprotected by her father, so she left.

It was not unreasonable for her to assume that one of the reasons Charisa had gotten together

“Was Aunt Charisa in love with my uncle? That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. “WhenCharisa first joined the Miles Family, Zachary was barely ten. His mother had passed away, his fatherwas a heavy drinker, and the household relied solely on the servants to look after him and

Once, while playing in the backyard, he wandered into Charisa’s basement. It was a memory deeplyetched in Zachary’s mind. The dark and damp basement devoid of sunlight only had a faint glow from asingle lightbulb. Behind an immense iron door was a disheveled woman. seemingly in agony andcovered in blood.

Seven-year-old Zachary yelled in terror, “Ghost!”

But Charisa lifted her head. Her eyes were bright and clear as she smiled at him. “Don’t be scared, littlebunny. There are no ghosts here.”

“Be brave, don’t be afraid.” The woman’s gentle voice almost brought Zachary to tears.
