"It hasn't been easy for us to be together again. Please don't test me anymore, okay?" The man's deep voice instantly softened Cherise's heart.
She pursed her lips and snuggled into his embrace. She felt his breath and the rhythm of his heartbeat. "But Lucy was merely trying to protect me. You treated me poorly in the past, and she was just concerned that I might get hurt again."
"Don't accuse Lucy of making things difficult for you. She wouldn't even try to help if she weren't my friend." She looked up. "She was ultimately just trying to protect me. Just like me. I don't like Lennon when I see him now because he wasn't kind to Lucy."
Damien sighed nonchalantly and nodded. "So, should I join you in giving Lennon a hard time in the future?"
Cherise was taken aback. After a moment, she hugged and kissed him. "Does it mean you're no longer upset with Lucy?"
"I was never upset with her to begin with." The man ruffled Cherise's hair in exasperation. "She's just a young girl. Why would I be upset with her?"
"We're the same age. Lucy is my classmate and best friend." Cherise pouted. "If she's a young girl, what does that make me?"
"Guess."
"I don't want to. In any case, I'm Mrs. Lenoir, your wife." Cherise pursed her lips and snuggled into his arms. "If you think I'm too young or immature, it reflects your bad taste!"
Damien chuckled helplessly and stroked her hair. "I have impeccable taste!"
They lay in the room for a long time until a child's clear voice rang from outside, "Mommy, are you in there?"
Cherise was startled. For a moment, she was unsure whether to respond or stay silent. Because the one outside the door... was Soren.
"Mommy, don't remain silent. I know you're in there." Outside, the impeccably dressed boy was knocking on the door helplessly. "Mommy, Frances has prepared breakfast. Would you like to come out and eat breakfast?"
