Chapter 541 She Should Be Safe
Damien was speechless.
Is she really going to throw the keys down?
Didn’t she kick me out of the car just now? Why is she now letting me into her home?
Does she want to talk to me?
Damien furrowed his brow, feeling skeptical as he walked to the area below Cherise’s apartment. He positioned himself where the keys could be caught.
“What are you up to?”
Although doubts had started creeping into his mind, he couldn’t shake the feeling that the person on the other end couldn’t be anyone else.
After all, no one else would have known so much about his relationship with Cherise and gone as far as to seek out Mr. Kolson’s WhatsApp account.
Damien pondered with furrowed brows.
‘Splash!‘ A basin of cold water was abruptly dumped from Cherise’s balcony.
Damien was drenched. Chill seeped into his bones.
Never before had he been so thoroughly and embarra*singly drenched.
Mr. Kolson witnessed everything from a distance. His mouth hung open in shock. “Mr. Lenoir…”
At that moment, Damien’s phone beeped with another message.
‘Humph, you think you can win over Mommy? Not a chance!‘
‘Hurry up and leave, creep! Mommy has me to protect her. You won’t stand a chance!‘
Damien Lenoir was speechless.
“Ren?”
Cherise had finished drying off Serafina’s hair and sent her back to her room. After draining the bathtub, she found Soren still on the balcony, holding a basin and watering the plants.
She frowned. “Soren, it’s time for your bath and bedtime!”
These are succulents. They’ll die if you overwater them!”
Oh
The little boy in light blue pajamas responded before returning to the living room with the empty basin. He closed the balcony door and said, “Mommy, you and Sera can go to bed first. I’m going to

take a bath!”
“Okay.”
Cherise affectionately ruffled her son’s hair, “Hurry up and finish your bath. Don’t play around in the bathroom.”
“Got it!”
Soren closed the bathroom door with a grin.
Cherise yawned and went into Serafina’s room. She picked up a fairy tale storybook and lay down on the bed. “Where did we stop last time?”
We were at the part where the mermaid turned into a human to find the prince.”
A little girl in pink rabbit–print pajamas leaned against the head of the bed, observing Cherise with her big eyes.
Cherise cleared her throat. She turned to the page with the story about the mermaid and narrated it earnestly, “The mermaid came to the prince’s palace and saw the prince and the princess beside him…”
Meanwhile, Mr. Kolson nervously handed tissues to Damien in the black Cayenne parked downstairs. “Mr. Lenoir…”
“Hmm.”
Damien had taken off his coat, wearing only a thin shirt.
Soren had dumped the water so accurately that it drenched Damien from head to toe.
“Mr. Lenoir.”
Mr. Kolson cleared his throat and said, “You’ll catch a cold like this.”
“Why don’t we return to the hotel for you to change your clothes? We can come here again afterward.”
“Mrs. Lenoir is at home now. She should be safe.”
Damien Lenoir frowned and nodded, “Sounds good. I’m tired.”
He had been in meetings all night. When he heard about Maeve coming to this small town for surgery this morning, he rushed to the hospital without rest.
Then, he met Cherise again and helped Maeve settle into the hospital.
Thus, he had not had a moment of rest all day.
Lets go back to the hotel and rest.”
Mr. Kolson was surprised that Damien agreed readily. “Mr..Lenoir, are you… not going to stay here!
That won’t be necessary.
2/8
Damien rubbed his forehead with his slender fingers. “Firstly, I haven’t had a proper rest all day. I’m quite worn out.”
