Chapter 45 Push Me Upstairs
Mr. Kolson raised his head and spotted Cherise. “Mrs. Lenoir is back, sir.”
“What time is it?”
“It’s exactly nine now.”
The man in the wheelchair smiled. “It’s probably been a decade since I’ve last had dinner this late.”
Cherise paled. She helped Frances serve the food on the table guiltily.
“You didn’t need to wait for me. It’s… it’s almost exam season. I will be studying until late at night for a while,” she murmured.
Damien did not bother exposing her excuse. “Let’s eat.”
She nodded silently, but her heart was jumping out of her chest.
He didn’t realize that I lied, right?
She would hardly lie since she was young. Every time she did, she would feel ill at ease for quite some time.
She chose a seat far from the man to hide her nervousness.
Yet just when she sat down, the man frowned. “Come here.”
“…Why?”
“Feed me.”
She was lost for words.
Was the man hooked on her feeding him?
Without any choice, she huddled into the chair next to him cautiously. She picked up and began feeding him.
He ate elegantly but at a snail’s pace. She felt miserable.
