Chapter 839 You Must Protect Mommy
Cherise stood still, pursing her lips, before exiting the airport with her children and getting into the car Damien had arranged for them.
Little did she know, there was a black extended Lincoln car parked nearby. Inside the car, a man dressed in black with a cold demeanor swirled red wine in his glass. His gaze, like that of a predator observing its prey, was fixed on the direction Cherise had left.
After a while, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He muttered, “Cherise, it’s been over a decade, but you haven’t changed.”
Then, he glanced down at the file on the low table in front of him. It was a document–a dossier about Damien.
The man sipped his wine and smiled. “What right does that Lenoir guy have to compete for a woman with me? Ten years ago, I claimed Cherise as mine. No one can take her away from me.”
When Cherise and the children returned to Lenoir Manor, Damien was discussing recent work matters with Lennon in the study.
Seeing the car stop outside, Damien stretched lazily. “Let’s call it a day,” he suggested.
Lennon gave him a disapproving glance. “This is not the time to be distracted. The company is in a mess, yet as soon as Cherise returns, you stop caring about the company.”
Damien smiled. “I have you. Since you and Lucy’s relationship won’t progress in the short term, you might as well put all your energy into work. I’m different from you. I have a wife and children. I can’t just think about work all day.”
Lennon was left speechless. He wanted to punch Damien right then and there.
Was it really necessary for him to flaunt his married life like this?
But he restrained himself in the end.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the information on his phone screen and said solemnly, “Mr. Weiss of the Weiss family arrived in Adania today. Besides acquiring the shares Tristan discarded, he also bought some scattered shares from other shareholders. He’s probably here to cause trouble for you. You should be prepared in advance.”
However, there was no response from Damien, only silence,

Lennon frowned and instinctively looked up, only to find that he was the only one left in the study.
He rolled his eyes in frustration and glanced out of the window. Damien had already reached Cherise’s car. He picked up Serafina, held Cherise’s hand, and walked towards the villa with her, chatting and laughing.
Lennon had nothing to say. He could only sigh helplessly and keep to himself the gossip he had heard about Mr. Weiss being Cherise’s former classmate in Shawbury.
“Daddy, a strange man followed Mommy!” Serafina pouted in Damien’s arms. Her voice was soft and sweet. “That strange man has been following Mommy since yesterday! He said someone wanted to meet Mommy!”
“Then Grandpa took Mommy away, but just now, at the airport, I saw him following Mommy again!” The little girl raised her chubby hands and placed them on Damien’s. chiseled face. “Daddy, you must protect Mommy!”
Hearing Serafina’s words, Damien frowned slightly and turned to Cherise for confirmation.
Chérise shook her head helplessly, admitting it with a nod. “Yes, but he might not have followed me today. It was probably just a coincidence. He said his master knew me, and we used to be classmates.”
After saying this, she smiled helplessly. “I didn’t take it seriously. While studying in Shawbury, my classmates were all from nearby villages. There wouldn’t be someone like his master.”
