Chapter 199 Damsel in Distress
Cherise frowned at him. “Why would I do that?”
Lennon let out a chuckle. “I know you don’t mind, but have some pity for the little guy behind. you. He’s completely drenched.”
Cherise turned around. Sure enough, Blake was soaked to the core.
She smiled in embarra*sment and conceded. “Alright, then. Let’s get into the car.”
I can handle this, but it won’t do Blake any good if he catches a cold. He’s still a kid.
After getting into Lennon’s car, he sent them to a mansion nearby.
“I used to live here before going abroad. It’s a bit old, but I hope you don’t mind staying here temporarily for a few days. A wry smile spread across his face as he shook his head. “I bet Damien. will fetch you back in a few days anyway.”
“You… know Damien?” Cherise froze.
“We go way back. Lennon made a face, pa*sing a towel to her. “I spent my best years with that. loser, yet the pay he gave me isn’t even enough to get by!”
Shocked by the sudden revelation, Cherise was momentarily stunned before returning to her senses. Lennon is not his neighbor or whatnot; he works for Damien!
She pursed her l*ps and sat down on the couch angrily. “Did he ask you to bring me here?”
“You’re smart, m’lady.” He snapped his fingers. “He said you wouldn’t want to go home or see him. at this moment, so he arranged a place for you to stay and asked me to send you here. What’s going on? Did you guys get into a fight? What do you think about splitting up with him and marrying me instead?” He grinned at her mischievously.
Cherise rolled her eyes at him before hurrying Blake into the shower.
Interested in teasing her even more, Lennon leaned behind the couch as he scrutinized her face. “Come on, won’t you give that a thought?”
When he a*sumed that she worked for Damien, he was surprised that Damien hired such a woman as one of his housekeepers.
He only found out about Cherise’s true identity as Damien’s wife a few moments ago when he received a call from Damien himself.
Whenever he recalled how Damien and Jacob avoided his questions about Cherise, he felt embarra*sed.
Hence, he continued to tease Cherise. “Give it a thought! I will never lie to you, and I will always

treat you like a queen”
Cherise merely made a face and ignored his advances.
After the long walk in the rain, she had calmed down. Despite everything that had ensued, the thought of having a divorce with Damien had never crossed her mind, even at the peak of her disappointment.
Divorce was a serious matter. Before getting married, Elvis and Sarah reminded her that such a word should not be played around with simply because one was upset.
She had also sworn to herself that as long as Damien would help her save her grandmother, she would never leave him.
The revelation made her upset and disappointed, but that was all.
Damien had done what he promised-her grandmother was indeed cured. Hence, she resolved. not to leave him.
However, it made her even more upset. I’m nothing to him, yet I have to be with him for the rest of my life. Just the thought of it makes me miserable….
Noticing that she was almost on the verge of tears, Lennon quickly shook his head. “Wait, wait. I’m just kidding! No matter how much I like you, I can’t possibly compete openly with that sly fox Damien!”
Upon hearing his words, Cherise became even more upset.
She took some tissues and wiped her tears away. “You’re right. He is sly indeed!”
