Chapter 152 It’s Time
“Let’s work hard to cure your eyes.”
“Once you regain your sight, will you go to university with me?”
Cherise’s eyes gleamed with sincerity. “To be honest, I hope to experience campus
romance.”
“That’s why you must recover soon!”
Damien cleared his throat. “Mr. Kolson, start the car.”
No one knew he closed his eyes behind the black sash.
He did not dare to look at Cherise’s innocent and earnest gaze.
Her eyes were clear and pure as the finest crystals. They were so untainted that Damien could not bear to lie and hide the truth from her.
Damien had always been cold and logical. Yet, he did not dare to meet Cherise’s gaze.
Until he was sure, he could not reveal everything to Cherise yet.
It was better for her to know nothing and be kept in the dark.
Then, she could remain as his wife in name. She would be safest this way.
Cherise was too innocent to know the evils of human nature. Damien feared she could not keep his secret.
If she accidentally revealed his secret…
The consequences would be unimaginable.
Meanwhile, Cherise was unaware of Damien’s internal struggles.
She smiled cheerfully and said, “Dear, you must keep your word.”
“Once you regain your sight, you must attend the university with me!”
Damien returned to his senses and chuckled. “Sure.”
“Let’s make a pinky promise!”
Cherise linked her right pinky with Damien’s pinky. “You will attend classes and study
1/3
sessions with me. We will have lunch at the cafeteria!”
“Sure.”
“I’ll
get us a table while you get the food!”
“Sure.”
Mr. Kolson listened to them talking from the driver’s seat. Their conversation was so childlike that he could not help but smile.
Soon, the car stopped.
Cherise glanced at the window. “Huh, why aren’t we returning home? Why did you send me to campus?”
You have a class at ten thirty.”
Damien smiled and pressed his phone’s time button.
An automatic female voice sounded. “The time is 10:10 a.m.”
Cherise smacked her forehead.
I have classes this morning.
I skipped a class to go to the company.
If I don’t hurry up, I will be late for my second class!
At that thought, she immediately took the bag in Damien’s hand and thanked him. Then, she exited the car and ran into the university campus.
Damien smiled as he watched her leave.

🌸 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. ❤️...
