Chapter 170 Blake Tagging Along
Seeing him come downstairs, she smiled sweetly. “Honey, you’re up!”
Damien nodded. “What smells so good?”
Cherise wiped her hands and rushed over, pushing his wheelchair. “Our hometown is pretty far away, so I made your favorite pies just in case you get hungry in the morning.”
She parked his wheelchair and brought over the bowl and cutleries. “Eat up, honey!”
Damien calmly accepted what she handed him. “Were you watering the plants outside. yesterday?”
Cherise was a bit puzzled. “Yeah. Why do you ask?”
His deep voice carried a hint of amusement. “Anything interesting happened yesterday?”
Cherise furrowed her brow as she thought. “Well, I guess… Yesterday, there was a car parked in front of our house. Maybe it was a neighbor who got lost?”
“And then, when that person came into the garden, my water hose happened to get pulled. apart, so he got soaked.”
Cherise pouted. “He was a little strange and had a bad temper. He asked me to fetch him some clothes to change into and acted arrogant, making me take his clothes to the dry. cleaner some more.”
Damien nodded in agreement.
Based on Cherise’s account, it made sense.
It seemed that Lennon had been the one who got soaked by the water yesterday, and he probably mistook Cherise for a household servant, which was why he had asked for the youngest maid.
He clicked his tongue and shook his head. “That guy has pretty good taste. Too bad this woman is already mine.”
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Cherise asked cautiously, noticing that he was lost in thought.
“Nothing’s wrong.” Damien smiled faintly. “Where’s the dry cleaning receipt?”
“Here it is.” Cherise retrieved the neatly folded receipt from her pocket. “When I came back yesterday, he and his car were gone. I didn’t know how to give it to him.”

“Mr. Hampson.” Damien calmly instructed, “Take it.”
Mr. Hampson, holding back a smile, took the receipt from Cherise’s hand.
Cherise blinked in confusion, “Honey, do you know that person?”
Damien nodded slightly. “I know him, but remember to stay away from him after this.”
“Why?” Cherise widened her eyes in surprise.
“He’s a bad guy.”
The young woman frowned. “I knew it! I knew he wasn’t a good guy!”
“Don’t worry, honey, if I ever see him again, I’ll steer clear of him!”
Damien chuckled, “Very well.”
After breakfast, Cherise started busily packing for their trip back to her hometown. She had so many gifts for her family that they filled an entire car.
“I’m coming too.” Blake stood in front of his room for a long time and finally spoke, sounding sulky.
The teenager’s self-invite put a smile on Cherise’s face. “As long as you don’t mind that my hometown is a bit out in the boonies, you’re welcome to come along!”
Because the more, the merrier!

🌸 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. ❤️...
