Chapter 382 A Simple Life

“I can see her influence in you.”

“You’re gentle and caring. You must have learned from her.”

Cherise’s eyes gleamed earnestly.

Damien smiled resignedly. “You always have a way of uplifting people.”

Then, he frowned and continued, “You were an orphan since you were young. Do you miss your birth parents sometimes? Have you ever thought about searching for them?”

Cherise solemnly shook her head. “No.”

“I don’t miss them, nor do I want to find them.”

Cherise pursed her lips and continued, “My aunt and uncle have been very good to me.

“In my village, people would tell their adopted children that they were their birth parents. to avoid complications. Only when the children grow up and understand better, will they be told the truth about being adopted.”

“However, my aunt and uncle were different. From the moment I could speak, they told me I had biological parents, and they were only my aunt and uncle.”

Cherise’s expression softened as she recalled her past. “In reality, aunt and uncle are just titles.”

“They cared for me more than some parents care for their own biological children.”

“All these years, I’ve wondered why my parents didn’t want me.”

“Later, I realized they must have had their reasons for giving me away.”

“Perhaps my father remarried, or my mother married someone else. I would have only been a burden to them.”

Cherise looked ahead resolutely. Her voice was solemn.

Damien gripped the steering wheel so tightly that his fingers turned pale. “Is this really what you believe?”

“Yes.”

Cherise nodded. “If they remembered me, they would have found me.”
