Chapter 833 Reliving Childhood Between Cherise And Beckham
Serafina twirled her braids, her voice bubbling with excitement, “Look at my beautiful braids, Mommy!”
She giggled, swinging her hair. “Grandpa said he never braided your hair when you were little. Do you think he could do it now? He’s really good at braids!”
Cherise’s eyes widened. She glanced at Serafina, then met Beckham’s gaze, a hesitant smile tugging at her lips. After a moment, a warm feeling spread through her. “Sure, why not?”
Turning to her father, she added, “It’s been ages since anyone touched my hair. If you’re up for it, I’m game!”
Beckham practically beamed, his hands buzzing with nervous energy. “Of course I am! Let’s do it!”
Cherise chuckled. “Alright, let’s see what you can do. You’ve never braided my hair before.”
Suddenly, Soren popped up, holding out a comb. He warned Beckham, “Hey, Grandpa. Sera and I only have one Mommy, so don’t mess it up too badly. Otherwise, we might have to find a new one!”
“Uh–huh! Mommy needs a beauty makeover just like Sera!” Serafina chirped, nodding.
Cherise chuckled, shaking her head at the two chatterboxes. “You two wouldn’t stop talking for a second, would you?”
Though she teased, her voice dripped with love and appreciation. She understood their attempt to lighten the mood.
Right! Why cry on a day like this?
With a smile, she let Serafina pull her down to the floor.
Watching from the sofa, Beckham reached over and gently removed the band from Cherise’s high ponytail. Her dark hair cascaded down like a silky waterfall.
He reminisced that Cherise, adopted into their family as a young girl, had long, unruly hair that she hated managing. So, Beckham, ever the patient one, learned how to comb it for her.
Beckham chuckled, a twinkle in his own eyes. “Well, let’s just say forgetting to brush her hair once resulted in a colorful surprise hidden in my history book. It wasn’t exactly helpful for my grades, but I have to admit, it was pretty funny.”
In the kitchen, Damien paused momentarily, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. The sound of running water echoed the playful banter from the living room.
The kitchen counter buzzed with the sudden vibration of Damien’s phone. He frowned, glancing at the screen before answering. “Yeah, Charles?”
Charles‘ voice crackled through the receiver, “Just got the lowdown on Tristan. It turns out he snuck back into Adania today. My sources even snagged a copy of the sneaky email he sent to the company after landing. Do you think it’s time we put him under close watch?”
Damien sighed, rubbing his temples. “Keep an eye out for now, that’s enough. We’ll figure out the rest later. I have my hands full right now.”
“Hands full with what? Didn’t you tie up all the loose ends at the office?” Charles scoffed.
Damien chuckled, a hint of warmth creeping into his voice. “Work’s all sorted; I’m just dealing with some… family matters now.”

🌸 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. ❤️...
