Word was, this senior had a knack for stealing other girls’ boyfriends. When Cherise was flying solo, she didn’t give it a second thought. But now, just seeing her around made Cherise all jittery. and uneasy.
Damien chuckled softly. I’m not interested in her,” he said. Then he reached out, gently lifting. Cherise’s chin like he was about to plant a k*ss. “I’m all about you.”
Cherise instinctively blocked her own l*ps with her hand. “Shh!”
Instead of backing off. Damien planted a soft k*ss on the back of her hand. Cherise rolled her eyes and lowered her hand, blushing. “How rude!”
“Guilty as charged. But hey, k*ssing my own wife can’t be that bad.”
Cherise raised an eyebrow. True, though I’m your wife, you should save those k*sses for someone
you trust.”
With an eye-roll, Cherise turned and kept walking. Damien followed, still holding the umbrella.
But this man was too eye-catching. Cherise had only wanted a leisurely post-lunch walk. With Damien tailing and sheltering her with an umbrella, it was as if she were a royal figure in a parade. All eyes were on them!
In the end, Cherise decided to head towards the gym. Damien was correct; there was a PE cla*s in the afternoon, and the teacher had warned them about an 800-meter run.
Despite her countryside upbringing. Cherise didn’t have the athletic genes. She barely scraped. through each PE test.
While going from the plaza to the gym, Cherise and Damien ran into three more senior girls who seemed to be smitten by Damien.
Meanwhile, a swarm of students approached Cherise, and in greeting her, they extended their warm regards to Damien.
Cherise was dumbfounded by the sheer number of girls who seemed interested in Damien.
As they reached the gym, she turned to the man who had unintentionally attracted so much. attention. “The physical education cla*s is starting in half an hour.”
She added, “I’ve got to attend the cla*s, and you should be off to work or back home. Please don’t follow me.”
Cherise walked toward the gym, took a few steps, and glanced back hesitantly. The man stood. elegantly at the door, not intending to follow.
She breathed a sigh of relief and went into the
gym.

Lucy was already seated on the lawn when Cherise arrived. Spotting her, Lucy waved her over. “Here!”
Cherise, utterly exhausted, hurried over and plopped down next to Lucy, savoring the fresh scent of the gra*s. “I never knew the girls at our school were so forward when it comes to guys.”
Despite being the rightful wife, they openly approached Damien and gave him little notes.
Lucy burst into laughter. “You’re just realizing this now?”
“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. Attractive guys like him these days tend to have women swooning over him!”
She teased Cherise with a playful smirk. “If you keep up this standoff with Damien, he might just respond to one of those girls!”
Cherise rolled her eyes. “He won’t.”
“How can you be so sure he won’t?”
Cherise pursed her l*ps, contemplating. “He’s not interested in those kinds of girls.”
Lucy couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Alright, spill it. What kind of girls does he fancy? Someone like you?”
Cherise nodded, “Yeah, probably someone like me.”
Lucy chuckled, “Well, well. Look at you, all confident in your allure now!”
Cherise pondered momentarily, “It’s just that the way he glances at other girls is not the same as how he looks at me.”
