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.”

“Okay.”

Cherise couldn’t stop him as Blake quickly left, just like Lucy. She sighed, realizing it was now just her

and Damien.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, she walked ahead with Damien following behind, holding an umbrella.

“Cherry!”

From a distance, her seniors from the same department greeted Cherise. “Is that your boyfriend? How

lovely to stroll together, huh?”

In this awkward situation, Cherise just wanted to avoid unwelcome prying. Her face turned crimson as

she stuttered, “N-no…”

The senior student didn’t get her drift, and her gaze kept drifting over to Damien. “Well, your boyfriend’s

quite cute. Where did you two meet?”

Cherise’s face got even redder. “Uh…”

Explaining her situation was a real puzzle. Before Damien showed up, most people thought she was

single, with just a few in the know about her marital status. With Damien around, she couldn’t dodge all

the suggestive glances.

“Alright, I won’t tease you anymore,” the senior student said, recognizing Cherise’s personality. But

when she got to Damien, she couldn’t help herself, “hey, handsome, tell me, what do you like about our

Cherry?”

“Everything,” Damien uttered in a voice rich with affection.

The seasoned senior understood the depth of Damien’s feelings for Cherise but kept her smile intact.

She advised. “Take good care of our Cherry; she’s too innocent.”

Damien nodded with a smile. “I will.”

Cherise didn’t utter a word the entire time.

When the girl finally left, Cherise swiftly snatched the sticky note from his hand and shoved it. into her

pocket, all the while shooting a stern look at Damien. “Do not contact her!”
