Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 683 Sorenâs First Horseback Ride With Daddy
Soren, now a precocious five-year-old, was experiencing the unfamiliar sensation of being in close physical contact
with his father for the first time.
His fatherâs heart overflowed with warmth and sympathy as he securely placed Soren on his shoulders and walked
forward with newfound purpose.
âWow, Ren, youâre riding a big horse too!â Serafina exclaimed with unbridled excitement as she watched Soren and
Damien. âNext time, we should switch because I also like Mr. Handsome!â
Cherise and Charles walked behind, their faces shaking with amusement as they observed the children.
âSo, Dr. Shaw,â Charles began, glancing at Marcy who was being held by the nanny nearby, âwhen do you plan to
let the kids know that Damien is their father? Donât tell me youâll wait. until my
child calls me Daddy while these two still donât know who their own father is.â
A smug smile played on Cheriseâs lips as she looked ahead. âDo you honestly believe they donât know who their
father is? They are much brighter than you give them credit for.â
Charles sighed and continued walking. âYouâre right.â
Suddenly, Cheriseâs gaze shifted towards the exit. âLook, whoâs that girl? Tristanâs girlfriend?â she inquired, her
voice tinged with a frown.
Charles furrowed his brow as he followed Cheriseâs gaze, his expression changing dramatically. âWhy is she here?â
he uttered, his voice betraying a hint of alarm.
Cherise couldnât help but wonder when she saw the girl in jeans and a white T-shirt standing beside Tristan. If she
wasnât Tristanâs girlfriend, then who could she be? After all, someone who had the honor of picking up the Lenoir
siblings with Tristan couldnât just be a random person, right?
In the blink of an eye, the tall bodyguard carrying Serafina had already reached the exit.
âBrock, where did this little girl come from? What a pretty and sweet child!â
Brock, the bodyguard, smiled faintly, squatted down, and gently placed Serafina on the ground. âHere you go, Little
Princess. This is your stop. Iâll let you off here.â
âAye-aye, Captain!â Serafina exclaimed, jumping down with a mischievous grin. Not forgetting her newfound friend,
she playfully patted Brockâs shoulder. âYouâre like a giant! Can I ride with you again sometime?â

Brock chuckled and nodded. âOf course, little princess.â
The girl, struck by the repeated use of the âlittle princessâ endearment for Serafina, frowned. âWhy do you keep
calling her that? Whose child is she?â
âSheâs mine,â came a deep, masculine voice behind her.
The girl turned around, her eyes widening in surprise as she saw Damien and his mini-me, Soren, slowly
approaching on Damienâs shoulders.
âYouâ¦â she gasped, her eyes wide with astonishment. Her voice rose involuntarily, âYour child?! Damien, did your
ex-wife have two children with you?â
Damienâs brow furrowed as he crouched down and helped Soren off his shoulders. âTake your sister to Mommy,â he
instructed.
Soren hesitated, wanting to stay and listen, but ultimately complied. He walked over to his sister, took her hand,
and urged her to come along. âCome on. Letâs go, Sera!â
Once the two children were out of earshot, Damien offered a faint smile, one hand casually slipped into his pocket.
âYes. Cherry and I have two children together.â
The womanâs eyes widened further, her tone shifting dramatically. âThen what about Weena!â she exclaimed.
Damien responded indifferently, âWhat will happen, will happen.â
The woman pursed her lips, about to retort, but then witnessed the little boy who had just led his sister away run
towards a woman and raise his head to greet her with a sweet, âMommy!â
Her face contorted in disgust. âYou even brought your ex-wife here!?â she spat.
Brock, the bodyguard, frowned slightly and offered a gentle reminder in a low voice, âPlease be mindful of your
volume, Ursula. Do you want everyone to hear you?â
