Chapter 543 Unconcealable Joy
“Even though I’m just a child, I’m far from stupid. I figured out how to use the egg cooker all by myself.”
Cherise Shaw was left speechless.
“I even taught you how to use the toaster.”
Cherise Shaw had no response.
“Moreover, I even fixed the software system on your computer…”
“Alright, alright, you’re the best.”
Cherise quickly changed the subject before rushing into the bathroom to wash up with Serafina.
Soren leaned against the door, arms crossed, smiling as he observed the two ladies. Their faces were almost identical, but one was tall while the other was petite.
He loved this kind of life.
His family consisted of only him, his mother, and his younger sister.
Soren was willing to be the only man his family needed.
He would not allow any other man to get close to his family.
What about his father?
As far as Soren was concerned, he never had a father and certainly did not need one.
With that thought in mind, he glanced at the message on his phone..
Let’s see who will win.
I won’t lose to anyone. You definitely won’t stand a chance against me!
“Damien, why are you up so early?”
They were in the ward. Charles fed Maeve some oatmeal and stole a few glances at Damien, who was engrossed with his phone by the door. “I haven’t seen you this cheerful in a long time.”
Damien had always been aloof since Charles met Maeve three years ago.
From their first encounter to when they became business partners and eventually in-laws, Charles had never heard Damien laugh.
Instead, Damien had always appeared detached and unconcerned about everything.
Maeve claimed there was a void in Damien’s heart, which explained his behavior.
But Damien had been smiling at his phone several times since this morning.
“I couldn’t sleep, so I got up.”
Damien responded with a slight smile. Then, he looked at Charles and Maeve, “After becoming parents, do

you ever feel so excited that you can’t sleep?”
Maeve and Charles exchanged glances.
After a brief silence, Maeve furrowed her brows and looked at Damien. “When I first found out I was pregnant, I was so thrilled that I couldn’t sleep at night.”
“Why are you suddenly asking this?”
“Nothing.” Damien Lenoir grinned. “I just wanted to confirm something.”
He wanted to confirm that he wasn’t being overly dramatic.
Maeve Lenoir was surprised. She glanced at Damien before turning to Charles with a bewildered expression.
Charles was equally puzzled.
While feeding Maeve oatmeal, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, “Has your brother been dating. online recently?”
Based on his understanding, only those dating someone online would keep grinning foolishly at their phones.
However, considering Damien Lenoir’s status and disposition, he did not seem like the type to enjoy online dating.
Could he have been feeling lonely for too long?
“No way.”
Maeve responded with a helpless smile and glanced at Damien Lenoir, still engrossed with his phone.
His eyes were brimming with joy.
Even if he didn’t smile, anyone could tell from his actions, expressions, and the sparkle in his eyes that he was genuinely happy.
He was usually good at hiding his emotions.
But now, he couldn’t hide the joy in his heart.
Did meeting Cherise again make him so ecstatic that he couldn’t control himself?
Maeve sighed softly and looked at Charles. “Can you go out first? I need to talk to Damien.”
Charles was surprised by the request. He nodded and quickly fed her the last spoonful of porridge before leaving.
The door closed, leaving only Maeve and Damien in the room.
