Chapter 629 Let’s Eat Together
Cherise was dumbstruck.
Damien raised his brows indifferently, and his gaze swept past Cherise mischievously. He crouched down to address Serafina gently. “Indeed. A bad woman gave my phone number to another woman interested in me, so I’m quite troubled now.”
Serafina blinked and tilted her head as she studied Damien briefly. “Oh, I understand! Mommy also felt troubled when she used to get late-night calls from people asking her out. It’s the same, right?!”
Damien offered a faint smile. “Exactly.”
“That woman is so nasty!” Serafina’s tiny hands clenched into fists. “Don’t be upset, Mr. Handsome. I’ll treat you to pierogis, okay?”
“Sure. I adore pierogis.”
“Then, it’s settled!” Having said that, the little girl gazed up at Cherise pleadingly. “Mommy…”
Cherise put her hand on her forehead. What can I do after she’s already invited him?
I can’t really refuse her in front of Damien, right?
“Let’s eat together.” The woman shook her head in frustration. “It’s just an extra set of utensils.”
“Yay!” Serafina clapped her hands in excitement. “Mommy has agreed! You can come have dinner with us, Mr. Handsome!”
“Ren, you must take a picture of me and Mr. Handsome later and send it to our kindergarten teacher so she knows I can also date a handsome man!”
Cherise was flabbergasted. Sera is only five years old! Why is she thinking of such a thing?!
Just as Cherise planned to give Serafina a proper talking to at night, the elevator doors. opened.
Soren was the first to leave the elevator. He took out his keys from his pocket nonchalantly and unlocked the door. Cherise ushered Serafina inside.
Damien had exited the elevator and was about to enter Cherise’s apartment when Soren stopped him.
“Don’t think you can rest easy just because you’ve won over Sera!” The boy leaned against the
door with his arms crossed and glared at Damien. “You can’t win over my mommy that easily!”
Damien smiled indifferently. He crouched down as his gaze lightly swept over the tiny face identical to his. “You seem to be very hostile towards me.”
“I’m not hostile. I just don’t like you.” The boy glanced at Cherise, who was helping Serafina remove her coat. “Mommy, I have something to discuss with him. I’ll be right back!”
Having said that, Soren closed the door, turned around, and walked to Damien’s house. “Open the door. Let’s talk inside.” He was acting like an adult.
Damien smiled lightly and opened the door. Soren walked in seriously with his little backpack.
The boy sat on the sofa, “Mr. Lenoir, do you know how my mommy has been living for the past five years?”
Damien frowned slightly. He sat opposite Soren, reached out to pour a glass of water for the boy, and placed it on the coffee table. “I want to know how she’s been for the past few years.”
Since reuniting, Cherise had never mentioned anything about the past. He didn’t know… how she had lived for the past five
years.
“My mommy raised both of us alone. She’s really had a tough time.” Soren sighed, slightly distressed. “She played the roles of both parents and raised us. She was exhausted when we first came to Lermille and had to take care of me and Sera while dealing with work at the hospital.”
“I often saw her crying at night while holding a picture. In that picture…

🌸 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. ❤️...
