Chapter 975 Late Night Revelation
You’re home, Cherise greeted Damien as he entered.
Her eyes, still carrying traces of sleepiness but unable to hide their innate clarity and brightness, as she fixed them on him. “Did you eat?”
“I grabbed a light bite at the office,” Damien replied, gently tucking her in with a thin blanket. I’ve told you not to wait up for me.”
“It’s already past ten,” he remarked, noting the lateness of the hour.
*If I hadn’t come back tonight, were you planning to sleep at the dining table?” Damien queried a hint of amusement in his tone.
Feeling a twinge of embarrassment, Cherise hesitated before admitting, “I have something to discuss with you.
Furrowing his brow, Damien inquired, “Why didn’t you call me if it was urgent?”
“I thought it would be better to talk in person,” Cherise explained as she rose from the bed.
Damien sighed in exasperation. “If it couldn’t wait, you could have asked me to come home earlier.
Cherise’s lips formed a slight pout, her voice tinged with hesitation. “I was concerned that… I might disturb your work if you were busy.”
After expressing her thoughts, she looked up at him with a gentle smile, her eyes reflecting. innocence and clarity. “I don’t mind waiting a bit longer. I have ample time.”
Damien furrowed his brow as he peered down at the petite figure seated on the bed.
The soft light filtering through the lampshade illuminated her pure and fair visage, accentuating her ethereal beauty.
A tender sensation stirred within Damien’s heart.
He gently lifted her slender form without hesitation and cradled her in his arms?
“Silly girl,” he murmured softly.
Damien held Cherise close, his embrace so tight that she struggled to speak.
“Please be gentler,” she managed to utter, her voice barely above a whisper. “I can hardly breathe.”

I apologize, he said in a deep voice, expressing his regret.
With care, he gently placed her back on the bed.
“Did you want to talk about something?”
The man perched on the edge of the bed, his gaze steady as he regarded her. “What’s on your mind?”
“There’s someone named Mr. Whitlock, the former director of the research institute where 1 used to work,” Cherise explained, retrieving a voice recorder from the bedside table and passing it to Damien. “He said we should listen to this together.”
Damien accepted the voice recorder, his brow furrowing in concern. “Yolanda gave this to you?”
It was nearly eleven o’clock, much later than their usual bedtime.
A sense of unease crept over him as he gently squeezed her shoulder. “It’s late. Aren’t you tired?”
Cherise remained on the bed, held by Damien’s presence.
Yet, she met his gaze with unwavering determination. I’m not tired.”
“You’re lying,” Damien teased, lightly pinching her nose. “Your bloodshot eyes betray you. Do you truly believe I wouldn’t notice?”

But… Cherise faltered, her cheeks flushing as she glanced at the voice recorder in his hand, her expression serious and steadfast.
“But this…
“Let’s discuss it tomorrow,” Damien suggested, sensing her hesitance.

🌸 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. ❤️...
