Chapter 209 Take Good Care of Cherry
Cherise remembered when Damien pretended to be blind and allowed her to feed him. It was a memory free of awkwardness, and it comforted her as Damien cleaned her hands. She held her head high, feeling at ease with the situation.
Lucy sat on the side, observing the scene with a hint of astonishment. Damien… he was
surprisingly persuasive. With just a few words, he managed to convince Cherise, someone prone to overthinking.
After they finished their meal, Cherise and Lucy strolled around the school together. Damien and Blake followed closely behind.
Lucy, a bit taken aback, turned to Damien, who had been holding an umbrella for Cherise throughout. “Um, Mr. Lenoir, aren’t you tired?”
A wealthy man who had always been on the receiving end of care now willingly held an umbrella for Cherise?!
Damien responded with a faint smile, “Not at all.”
“But,” he glanced at Lucy, “didn’t you drink much water in the cafeteria just now?”
Lucy paused for a moment. “Oh, right, I did drink a lot of water!”
She finally facepalmed. “Cherry, I need to use the restroom!”
With that, she hurried off in the direction of the restroom. “It might take me a while! Don’t wait
for me!”
“Ah…” Cherise watched Lucy’s retreating figure and couldn’t help but mutter that she wasn’t very considerate. With Lucy gone, she and Damien were the only ones left.
Suddenly, her gaze landed on the boy in navy blue standing nearby. Fortunately, Blake was still here. If he had gone too, that would have been indeed…
“Blake.”
“Hmm?”
“You said you wanted to go play, right? Go ahead.”
