Chapter 387 I Don’t Want Any Privileges
I’ll explain everything to this individual properly once we meet.
Cherise took a deep breath and began typing on her phone. “Sure, thank you.”
Upon receiving Cherise’s message, the counselor promptly sent more messages, urging Cherise to excel in the final exam.
In essence, the messages emphasized the importance of studying hard and striving for good. grades in all subjects.
If she failed to do so, he would reduce her holiday time in the following semester.
Cherise patiently replied to each message.
By the time she finished responding, the car had already entered Adania.
Cherise stretched wearily. “Hubby, have you planned any activities for me in the next few days?”
Damien furrowed his brow and shook his head. “No.”
“Good!”
Cherise gazed out of the window at the familiar scenery. “The counselor went to great lengths to remind me to study hard and prepare for the final exam.”
“He even threatened to shorten my holiday next semester if I didn’t achieve good grades in every subject…”
Damien seemed distracted as he replied, “Then you should study hard.”
“I’ll drop you off at home first. After that, I have some matters to attend to. You should study at home and not go anywhere.”
“Okay!”
Since Damien had been away from Adania for over a week, Cherise didn’t suspect anything when he mentioned having things to deal with.
After all, he had a massive corporation to manage. It was expected for him to be busy.
Damien stopped the car in front of Lenoir Manor. Cherise got out and waved goodbye. Then, she stood at the doorway and watched him drive. away.
She smiled as she watched Damien’s car disappear into the distance.
My husband is so reliable! He takes good care of his family and manages his business well.

Cherise suddenly frowned.
Why did Damien’s car go in the opposite direction instead of heading to the company?
“Mrs. Lenoir, you’re home!”
The grand villa door swung open. Frances rushed towards her excitedly and pulled her inside. “It’s been so long. You look slimmer.”
Cherise saw her round face reflected in Frances’ eyes. “Am I really, slimmer?”
Frances observed her closely for a moment. Then, she looked away and cleared her throat. “Yes, you’re slimmer. You’ve definitely lost weight!”
Cherise pouted indignantly. “From the way you reacted, you must be thinking that I’ve gained weight!”
Uncle Shaw also mentioned that I’ve become rounder when we were in the Shaw’s village. Have I gained weight?
She pouted and took a deep breath. “I’ll work hard on my studies and start losing weight from
now on!”
“Sure, sure.”
Frances grinned and pulled Cherise into the villa. “I’ve prepared your favorite chicken thigh dish. Let’s have a feast to celebrate your return. Don’t worry about dieting today.”
Cherise was left speechless.
Meanwhile, Damien was inside a police station in Adania.
The police chief looked at him resignedly. “Mr. Lenoir, how did you find out about this?”
“We’ve just brought the suspect to the police station and haven’t even started questioning him. Yet, you’re already here to see him. It goes against our procedures!”
Damien nodded and adjusted himself to a more comfortable sitting position. “It’s alright. Since you must follow procedures, I don’t want any special treatment either.”
“I can wait.”
“I’ll be the first to visit him after you finish interrogating him.”
The police chief was at a loss.
“Why do you insist on going against a suspect?”

“I understand that you want to know what happened years ago. However, we can only reach a conclusion after interrogating him.”

🌸 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. ❤️...
