Chapter 455: Chapter 456: Can’t Bear to Let Go

Daniel Peacock noticed that her mood was a bit off and didn’t continue asking about it. They chatted about other things, and Cherish Turner felt that after breaking up with Daniel Peacock, their relationship seemed to be more like friends. In any case, it was much more harmonious than before. Indeed, some people are more at ease when they return to a friendship.

As they were engrossed in conversation, her mobile phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.

Cherish took out her phone, confused about who would send her a message. Thinking for a moment, an uncertain answer popped into her head, but she was so hopeful. When she pressed the read button, the screen displayed a system message reminding her of a charge.

Cherish stared blankly at the message, the sense of loss slowly seeping out of her eyebrows.

They strolled through the night market, ate snacks, and drank cool mint-flavored red tea while chatting.

Time flew by, and the night deepened.

Daniel Peacock drove Cherish Turner home and stopped at the alley entrance. Seeing the dark and light sections of the alley, he intended to accompany her inside. But Cherish stopped him, saying it wasn’t necessary, that she was used to it. As they parted, Daniel Peacock gazed at Cherish’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

Under a starry night sky, Cherish walked alone.

Perhaps it was because of the late hour, but the alley seemed to have a gloomy atmosphere. She no longer lowered her head, bravely walking slowly.

Suddenly, she caught sight of a figure under a streetlamp.

Cherish’s heartbeat stopped for a moment and then quickly sped up.

William Griffith was standing under the streetlight, silently gazing at her.

Cherish stood in the dark alley, but William was standing in the dim light. It felt somewhat unreal. She blinked her eyes, but it wasn’t an illusion. Perhaps because of the surprise and nervousness, she clutched her bag and slowly walked towards him. When she reached him, she looked up at him.

William continued to gaze at her in silence.

"Um... Aren’t you busy today?" Cherish asked softly.

"I finished my work," William replied indifferently.

"Why are you standing here?" Cherish asked again.

William remained silent for a moment before responding quietly, "I forgot to bring my keys."

"You could call me. Have you been waiting long?" Cherish said when she heard this, noticed the discarded cigarette butts on the ground, and could guess how long he had been waiting. She suddenly felt sorry for him and didn’t want to let him wait alone foolishly.

"I was afraid you were busy," said William, adding an honorable reason and not forgetting to ask, "What have you been doing tonight?"

Cherish smiled and said, "I happened to meet an old friend, so we went to dinner together."

"Old friend? A man?" William raised his eyebrows slightly.

Cherish didn’t think there was anything wrong and nodded honestly. She suddenly noticed his handsome face looking somewhat gloomy, the lines of his face tense, and his eyebrows furrowed. She thought he was uncomfortable and stepped forward, asking, "William, what’s wrong?"

William suddenly hugged her tight, pulling her into his embrace. Leaning close to her ear, he said in a deep voice, "Toothache."

"Why would you have a toothache?" Cherish was taken aback for a moment.

He muttered, "Growing wisdom teeth."

"Still growing wisdom teeth?" Cherish widened her eyes. He gave a muffled grunt in acknowledgment, and she instinctively asked, "Does it hurt a lot? Do you want me to go with you to the emergency room at the hospital?"

"No," he said, domineeringly and childishly amusing.
