Chapter 376 A Hard Goodbye
“Don’t yell at me. It won’t change the fact that your grades were poor.”

Aaron shot a glare at Beckham and held Cherise’s hand with a loving smile. “I wish you the best in your studies. Pursue your dreams and do what you love! Don’t be like Damien. All he does is work.”
Cherise giggled. “I will, Grandpa.”
“I’m very fond of you. Please come and visit often!”
The old man was reluctant to let Cherise go. “I’ll miss all the laughter once you leave. Oh, I’m so sad to see you go.”
Cherise couldn’t bear to see Aaron shed tears over her departure. She bit her lip and said, “Grandpa, you can call me whenever you miss me. Otherwise, do visit us in Adania. Our house is huge, so both you and Mr. Beckham can stay with us. I’m sure you haven’t tried the local specialties in Adania. I’ll take you to try out all the delicacies when you come!”
Beckham rolled his eyes. Who wants to visit your small, backward city?
On the other hand, Aaron was overjoyed. “Really? Will you welcome an old man like me?”
Cherise nodded. “Of course!”
Aaron glanced at Damien. “What about Damien? Will you welcome me too?”
Standing behind Cherise, Damien smiled faintly, “I welcome all of Cherise’s friends.”
Aaron’s tears were instantly replaced with smiles. “Awesome! I’ll go check out Adania when there’s a chance!”
Perceiving his father’s playfulness, Beckham shook his head helplessly.
He turned to look at Zachary and asked, “They’re here to say goodbye, but what brings you here at this hour?”
“I’m here to say goodbye too.”
Zachary smiled at Beckham. “I’m flying tomorrow morning. Charisa called urgently and summoned me back to handle some business. So, I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Beckham nodded. “Ms. Miles is indeed a capable businesswoman. Please send my regards
to her.”
Zachary was slightly startled. “Sure.” He nodded. Then, he added, “Charisa will surely bet delighted to know that you’re aware of her.”
After Zachary left, Cherise and Damien continued chatting with Aaron for a while before going to bed.
The next morning, Cherise was awakened by Zachary as he knocked on her door non- stop. “Bunny! Lazy little bunny! Get up! It’s time to go!”
Cherise got up sulkily and mumbled, “What are you doing here?”
Zachary, who was neatly dressed, grinned at Cherise with his luggage in his hand. “I’m going to hitch a ride on your private plane!”
Cherise rolled her eyes at him. “Where are you heading to?”
“Wherever you’re going!”
Cherise pouted. “Are you saying your family business is in Adania?”
“Smart girl!” Zachary beamed from ear to ear. “Initially, Charisa gave me money to buy a plane ticket, but when I told Old Mr. Tanner about it, he suggested I should keep the money as my wedding fund for the future!”
Cherise was amused by his serious look. “Wedding fund? What a hardworking man. You don’t even have a girlfriend yet, and you’re already preparing the wedding fund!”
Zachary giggled. “Exactly…”
