Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 569 What Brings You Here?
Serafina was surprised, her eyes widening. Iâm not!â
It was because all the other dishes prepared by the lunch lady were salty. Only the tomato sandwiches. were sweet.
That was why she had eaten so many tomato sandwiches!
She didnât have a craving for them!
Soren glared at her and whispered. âMommy isnât in the best mood today. Just eat something simple.â
âWhen sheâs feeling better, weâll ask her to treat us to a fancy meal.â
Serafina nodded, reassured by Soren. She looked up at Cherise and smiled, âMommy, can I have tomato
sandwiches tonight?â
âSure.â
Cherise smiled and pressed the elevator button in front of the two children.
The elevator arrived at their floor quickly.
âMrsâ¦â
The elevator door opened, and Mr. Hampson looked at Cherise, somewhat flustered. âDid⦠did you just finish
work?â
As he spoke, he involuntarily glanced at the two children beside Cherise.
The two toddlers, especially the older boyâ¦
He bore a striking resemblance to Mr. Lenoir as a child!
Mr. Hampson was very excited. He finally understood why Mr. Lenoir was certain that Cheriseâs children. were his.
It was evident from the boyâs appearance and demeanor. There was no need for a DNA test to confirm that this
was Mr. Lenoirâs son!
But he remembered Mr. Lenoirâs instructions and dared not express his excitement.
âMm.â
Cherise instinctively shielded the two children behind her. âWhat brings you here?â
âI cameâ¦â
Mr. Hampson coughed lightly. âI came to visit my relatives!â
âYes, thatâs right. I have relatives living here!â
Cherise nodded. âWhat a coincidence.â
âMm-hmm!â
Afraid of revealing too much, Mr. Hampson quickly smiled at Cherise. âPlease go ahead. I have some

business to attend to.â
âIâll be leaving!â
After responding and watching Mr. Hampson leave, she furrowed her brows and ushered the two children. into the
elevator.
âMommy, is that man one of your patients?â
Cherise was taken aback. She nodded, âSort of.â
âOh.â
The child looked meaningfully in Mr. Hampsonâs direction.
After the three returned home, Cherise changed the childrenâs outfits. After changing her own clothes, she put on
an apron and headed to the kitchen.
Soren and Serafina had requested tomato sandwiches for dinner.
She opened the fridge and found tomatoes and eggs but realized she was out of salt.
âRen and Sera, behave at home. Mommy is going out to buy salt.â
âMommy!â
Soren, who had just changed, quickly ran over. âLet me buy it!â
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to Cherise. âGive me the money, please!â
Cherise took money out of her pocket. âBuy two jars.â
Although Soren was only five years old, he was very clever. It wasnât his first time running errands. Cherise had
been worried at first but now felt completely at ease.
âThis isnât enough, Mommy.â,
Soren blinked at Cherise. âI need an ice cream to make up for the calories burned from going downstairs.â
âAnd I canât eat an ice cream alone with Sera watching, So, Mommy, you must give me enough money for two ice
creams!â
Cherise looked at her intelligent, five-year-old son in exasperation. âMr. Know-It-All.â
With that, she took out more money from her pocket and gave it to him. âYou can buy nicer ice creams today.â
âYay!â
Serafina, dressed in pink bunny pajamas, clapped happily. âYouâre the best, Mommy!â
