Chapter 256 Aren’t You Coming In
The girl pursed her l*ps in embarra*sment. “I don’t think that’s nice, is it?”
A restaurant’s heart and soul consisted of its chefs. Wouldn’t Damien make things difficult for the restaurant if he took a chef home with them?
“Nonsense.”
“I can take home anything you like.”
Cherise blushed.
“It’s. It’s alright.”
Cherise smiled awkwardly. “Susan’s cooking is quite delicious.”
After that, she coughed lightly and changed the subject. “Honey, you said there were two reasons. What’s the other reason?”
“Your friend seems to be interested in Lennon.”
Damien unshelled a shrimp for her delicately. “Can’t you tell?”
Cherise was astonished. She laughed slightly embarra*sedly. “My attention was focused on the food…”
Damien shook his head in exasperation. “Greedy girl.”
As he spoke, he stuffed the unshelled shrimp into her mouth..
Cherise’s cheeks puffed with food..
When she finished chewing and swallowed everything, she took a deep breath. Her voice was soft and sweet. “Darling, Lucy told me just now that she might know Lennon from before.”
“After that, she said she was mistaken.”
As Damien unshelled a shrimp, his hands froze.
“Lennon hasn’t returned in so many years. How would she know him?”
“Unless…”
The man furrowed his brows. The scene of the little girl standing outside the operating theater entrance appeared before his eyes.
The little girl had secretly stood by the entrance since Lennon’s kidney replacement surgery
started.

Back then, Damien had a*serted to everyone else that he was blind, so he could only send Mr. Hampson to ask the girl.
“My My mom pa*sed away. That boy’s kidney is my mom’s”
The little girl blinked, and her eyes were pleading “I want to see what he looks like. Can I?”
Damien narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at Cherise “Lucy’s parents.
Cherise pursed her l*ps and wiped her mouth. “She only has a dad. She doesn’t have a mom.”
The two people outside had yet to return even after Cherise finished eating two chicken legs.
Cherise stroked her full tummy. “Why haven’t they returned? Aren’t they hungry?”
If I’m not mistaken, they didn’t eat lunch either, right?
Damien smiled. “They won’t come in unless you go out and look for them.”
Cherise was confused. “Why?”
The man chuckled and k*ssed her soft cheek. “They’ll think we’re being indecent here.”
Cherise was momentarily stunned before she came to her senses.
The girl’s face flushed abruptly.
She immediately rose and walked out of the private room in enormous strides.
Lennon was standing in the corner of the corridor outside the private room and smoking.
Meanwhile, Lucy sat on a chair on the other side and played games on her cell phone.
The two were very far apart. There were no sparks between them, contrary to what Damien had said.
Cherise flattened her l*ps and dragged Lucy back into the private room.
At the entrance, Lucy turned to look at Lennon. “Aren’t you coming in?”
Lennon never expected Lucy to speak to him first.
The man paused. “I’ll come in later.”
The girl pursed her l*ps. Her gaze finally fell on the cigarette in Lennon’s hands.
She almost instinctively walked over, snatched the cigarette from him, threw it on the floor, and stomped on it to extinguish it.
Under Lucy and Lennon’s astonished gazes, Lucy entered the private room without turning

around. “Smoking is bad for your health.”
“Good health is a privilege. Don’t take it for granted.”
Lennon was taken aback. He had a dark, gloomy, ambiguous gaze as he sneered. “It’s none of your business.”
