Chapter 797 Why Should I Remarry?
In the distance, Lyra stood adorned in an immaculate white wedding gown. Holding Lambert’s hand, she beamed with anticipation.
Lyra’s father was absent, angry with her, and it was improper for her mom to walk her down the aisle. Since Zachary’s younger sister pushed him down the aisle, the Quinnell family sent Lambert to accompany Lyra.
The melodious wedding march continued until the bride and groom stood together. With their hands entwined, they pledged their eternal commitment to each other before the officiant.
The dinner banquet followed the wedding ceremony. Patricia, Walter, Cherise, and Damien sat at the same table.
Four minutes into the banquet, Patricia excused herself and headed towards the restroom. Cherise instinctively turned around. Sure enough, Raymond also rose from his seat in the farthest corner.
Cherise was surprised that Raymond wasn’t alone today. He was accompanied by his wife, Wanda.
In a moment of inspiration, Cherise rose and sat next to Wanda. “Wanda, it’s been a long time since we last saw each other.”
Wanda visibly flinched upon hearing ‘Wanda. She turned pale and only relaxed slightly when she recognized Cherise. “Oh, it’s you.” Wanda had mistaken Cherise for Maeve, whom she disliked!
In the five years since Maeve’s return to the Lenoir family, Maeve had tricked Wanda’s beloved son into leaving and repeatedly caused trouble for Wanda. It greatly displeased Wanda, and her blood would freeze whenever she heard a woman’s voice address her as ‘Wanda.’
However, she scrutinized Cherise with a frown. “Tsk, tsk. How long has it been since we last met?”
Cherise responded with a smile. “It’s been five years.”
“Five years. That’s quite a while.” Wanda laughed, looking at Cherise scornfully. “How do you still look as naive as ever after five years? My son has grown much more handsome over these five years, but you haven’t changed much! You still look like a country bumpkin!”
Cherise’s grip around her wine glass tightened. She wanted to splash Wanda with wine but refrained. She knew that what was about to happen in the garden later would make Wanda feel worse than being splashed with red wine!
“Why are you here?” Wanda asked indifferently, frowning. NôvelDrama.Org content.
Wanda seldom left her house and had always avoided Damien and Maeve, so she was unaware that Cherise and Damien had reconciled and had two children together.
“It’s been five years. Have you remarried?” Wanda thought of Cherise as a woman Damien had divorced, so she didn’t mince her words. “What’s he like? Is he a wealthy old man or a penniless young man?”
“I haven’t found anyone yet.” Cherise narrowed her eyes. “After all, if I can’t find a man as devoted as Uncle Raymond is to you, Aunt Wanda, why should I remarry?”
“Yes. It’s hard to find a man like Raymond.” Wanda’s face immediately lit up when she heard Cherise praise her husband. “When we were young, our relationship wasn’t as strong, but our bond has deepened as we’ve aged!”
“You see, he came to this wedding to engage in business discussions with the folks from the Miles family, but he brought me along because he thought I would enjoy lively occasions like weddings,”
Wanda said breathlessly. She grew very pleased with herself and couldn’t help but giggle. “I’m so lucky to have found such a wonderful husband like Raymond.”
She even looked at Cherise with disdain. “Don’t be too picky. After all, a man as great as my husband wouldn’t be interested in a naive woman like you.”
