Chapter 1056 Steve's Moment of Truth
Savannah believed that Trent had sent all of these delectable treats.
In a fit of anger, Cherise brought Steve before Savannah. She hoped he would admit that he was the sender.
However, the timid man couldn't muster the courage to speak before his crush. He ended up leaving, his heart heavy with disappointment.
"I've said my piece," Trent stated, his smile carrying a hint of bitterness. "Apologies for any trouble."
As he was about to hang up, Cherise stopped him.
"Steve," she exhaled deeply, gathering her courage. I genuinely believe you're the one for Savannah. You're dependable and trustworthy…everything Trent isn't."
"Thanks," Steve responded earnestly. "I value your candor."
Cherise's lips tightened. "I'm not buttering you up. I'm at the Northern Star Hotel. Swing by; there's crucial Savannah business to discuss."
A beat of silence passed before Steve acquiesced. "Alright. I'll be there."
After hanging up, Cherise drew a deep breath and caught the eye of a man with hidden agendas. "Rise and shine! Steve's on his way!"
Damien narrowed his gaze. "You could've spilled the beans over the phone."
"Inviting him in person adds a touch of intrigue," she elucidated.
He tousled her hair reassuringly. "Relax, I'm not falling for it. We'll pick up where we left off once Steve's gone."
Cherise pondered inwardly, "This guy's sharp and insightful…"
She'd asked Steve over to soothe both herself and Damien, but he swiftly saw through their intentions.
"Savannah's en route to Calais with her ex," Damien stated casually. "Turns out Trent's 'business trip' was a lie."
"He's one of my employees," Damien continued, his tone matter-of-fact. "Keeping tabs on him is a breeze."
Steve grasped the situation.
"Maybe Trent just wanted to whisk her away," he suggested optimistically. "Their relationship seems strong, even if he fibbed with good intentions."
Cherise shook her head and advised, "Steve, don't be too trusting."
Steve noticed a shift in Cherise's demeanor from the day before.
Now warm, friendly, and approachable, she was unlike the distant and formal person he had encountered before.

🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
