Chapter 414 An Interesting Family
She turned away from Cherise, trying to hold back the tears that were about to spill. “By the Sky, Tay, and Grandma really liked the gifts you bought last time.”
“They were grateful that you still remembered them.”
She walked away as soon as she conveyed their gratitude.
She was afraid that if she stayed, she wouldn’t be able to hold back her tears.

Cherise knelt on the ground and watched Sarah’s silhouette as she walked away. “Aunt Sarah…
“If I find Uncle Shaw… I’m willing to…”
“Let’s save that for later.
She continued to walk away, leaving behind only her cold and indifferent silhouette.
Cherise knelt on the ground, her head bowed, overwhelmed with guilt and despair.
“Thank you for taking me in.”
“I will find Uncle Shaw.”
In the car outside the Shaw village.
Sarah got into the car. “Mr. Caldwell, I’ve said what I needed to say. Can I go now?”
“Fine.”
Jacob leaned against the driver’s seat and glanced at Sarah. “Aunt Sarah, I don’t understand why you had to be so harsh to her.”
Cherise’s petite figure curled up in a corner, but her cries were drowned out by the rain.
Sarah leaned against the car window and closed her eyes slowly. “How else was I supposed to say
it?
“You could have just told her that you haven’t found another man and that you’ve had a hard time taking care of Sky, Tay, and Grandma.”
“The Cherise I know would offer to help.
Sarah chuckled bitterly. “I don’t want to burden her,” she said solemnly.
“She has her own life. One day, she’ll have her own children to take care of.”
Jacob started the car. “You’re a fascinating family,”

“I remember that people in this village value filial children who can take care of their families. That way, they have someone to rely on when they’re older.
“But now you’re saying you don’t want to burden Cherise.”
*Please explain why you took Cherise in all these years.
Sarah grinned as she stared out the window. “Mr. Caldwell, I don’t know if I should tell you
Jacob smiled wryly. “Go on.”
“I was going to say…
Sarah glared at him, her eyes flashing with anger. “It’s none of your business!”
this.”
“What does my decision to care for Cherise or her choice to take care of me have to do with you?
“I like this girl, so I cared for her like a pet. Does it bother you that I want her to have a good life?”
“Is it something you have to interfere in?”
Jacob was stunned by her sudden outburst of anger.
He shook his head in disbelief.
“Aunt Sarah, I understand this must have been difficult for you since I brought you here so late, knowing your husband is missing.
“However, I don’t think I should be yelled at for it.”
“That’s just who I am!”
Sarah rolled her eyes. “That’s enough talking! Take me home!”
Jacob shook his head and pressed harder on the accelerator.
When they arrived at Sarah’s house, Jacob handed her a letter. “Damien asked me to give you
this.
“I know you have your pride to protect, and you wouldn’t want to be a burden to Cherise.”
“He’s just lending you this money”
“Remember to repay him.”
Jacobs drove away after giving her the money.
Sarah’s lips curled into a soft smile, with a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes as she watched the car disappear into the night.

Elvis, I’m sure Cherise will go find you now that I’ve made it clear to her. You have to stay strong I’ll wait for
you.
Sarah finally stopped sobbing after Sarah left.
She looked into Damien’s eyes. “I want to find Uncle Shaw.”

🌸 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. ❤️...
