Chapter 86: Chapter 86: He Wonât Like You Chapter 86: Chapter 86: He Wonât Like You Daniel Peacock saw Cherish Turner go to the womenâs restroom. At first, he thought he was mistaken, but when she came out, he knew it was her.
Cherish glanced at him, hesitated briefly, and then pretended not to know him as she continued walking.
âCherish!â Daniel stepped forward and grabbed her, only to be met with a glare from Cherish.
âLet go!â Now, all Daniel could make her feel was disgust, nothing else.
âCherish, please donât be like this. Can we talk?â
âWho are you? Do I know you? Sorry, sir, but I have nothing to discuss with a stranger.â Indeed, to her, he was now nothing but a stranger.
That day at the mall, she had held back due to his fiancée and Lewis being present. Now, she didnât need to consider anyone else.
Daniel knew he was in the wrong, so he released her, but he had no intention of letting her go.
She was also the happiness he had desperately tried to grasp during his naive youth.
âCherish, please donât be like this. I know Iâve wronged you, but believe me, all of this wasnât what I wanted, reallyâ¦â
Huh, how low could a man go? Cherish learned the answer today!
It wasnât what he wanted? Was it Cherish who forced him to get to know other women in the capital and forced him to get engaged to other women?
He cheated, and that was the end of it. In her eyes, there was no excuse for his actions!
âDaniel Peacock, can you be any more shameless?â Cherish glared at him, shaking off his touch without any hesitation.
Just as she was about to leave, Daniel suddenly spoke, âWilliam Griffith, is he really in love with you?â
Cherish was stunned by his words. She didnât understand his intentions.
What did his liking or not liking have to do with him?
âWhen I was in the capital, I heard about him. Cherish, donât fall too deeply. A man like William Griffith would never like a girl like you!â
Ha, a girl like me? What kind of girl am I?
Cherish smiled coldly and turned around, suddenly lunging towards Daniel. He instinctively stepped back, knowing full well what she was capable of.
âDaniel Peacock, do you think that once you rejected me, no one else in the world would treasure me? Do you think that without you, I donât deserve happiness?â
âThatâs not what I meant. Heââ
âIn your eyes, do I deserve to be dumped by you, lose to you, and then wallow in self-pity clinging to our memories?â
It wasnât until today that she saw Daniel Peacock for who he really was.
âHe has a woman he loves!â Seeing her emotional outburst, Daniel spoke, revealing a shocking fact to Cherish, though she had already mentally prepared for it.
He must have had someone in his heart; otherwise, why would there be Lewis?
But all of a sudden, Cherish dared not think too deeply about it.
When did she actually start to like him? So, there were some things she would rather not know, rather not think about.
âCherish, will you come back to me?â Seeing her bewildered expression, Daniel couldnât help but step forward, placing his hands on her shoulders.
Cherish was still deep in thought, seemingly pondering his words, and didnât snap out of it.
Daniel thought Cherish was feeling sad, so he pulled her into his arms.
