Chapter 179 A Family in the Making

Aunt Sarah nodded, “That’s true.”

“But…”

She glanced mischievously at Cherise, and the corner of her mouth quirked. up. “Dr. Johnson was an expert in gynecology, even more than eyes. How about letting him check your reproductive health, prescribe some fertility medicine, perhaps?”

“You and Mr. Damien seem quite close now. It’s about time to think about having a child,” she remarked.

Cherise blushed at her words, pushed around her food, and quickly ran outside.

Damien was on the phone with someone under the large apricot tree in the yard.

“I told you, she’s not a servant.”

“Forget about it then. I won’t tell you.”

“Take your clothes and leave.”

Cherise approached cautiously. “Hubby, who was that?”

This was the first time she had ever heard Damien speak to someone in that manner.

Damien slammed the phone down. “Just a nobody,” he spat out.

“Oh,” Cherise’s voice was subdued as she replied, sensing the tension in the air.

The person on the other end was significant; her husband appeared visibly distressed and. used the word ‘leave, which was surprising.

But since he didn’t want to discuss it, she decided not to probe further.

Cherise smiled. Her eyes flickered as she gently helped him to his feet. “Ready to go, honey?”

“We planned to see the doctor in the village today,” she continued.

Damien chuckled, reaching out to tousle Cherise’s hair. “What’s the sudden hurry about having kids?”

“Grandma’s getting impatient, you know,” she retorted playfully, giving him a wink.

Cherise hesitated and continued sheepishly, “L… I also… would like to have a child sooner.”

When Cherise and Damien arrived at Mark’s house, the older man was still asleep.

He appeared surprised as he saw Cherise guiding a man, one eye covered in black silk, into the house.

He chortled eventually, “Here for a check-up?”

Cherise nodded. “For… gynecological reasons.”
