Chapter 628 How Do You Know?
The sky was dark, and the hallway lights were dim. Cherise was oblivious to the person trailing behind her.
‘Ding.’ The elevator doors slid open. Soren and Serafina entered the elevator first, and Cherise followed suit. After that, the figure stealthily trailing them also stepped in.
The elevator was brightly lit, and Cherise instinctively glanced at the man.
“Wow, are you just getting home too, Mr. Handsome?” Serafina’s innocent voice echoed within the elevator.
Damien smiled faintly in response. He crouched down to meet Serafina’s eye level. “How were the strawberries?”
Cherise was flabbergasted.
Under the bright elevator light, Cherise could clearly see that Serafina was spotless. Serafina hadn’t been stained by any strawberries. The little girl had just played on the lawn and smelled only of grass.
How can Damien possibly know that Serafina had just eaten strawberries? Unless…
A sense of foreboding slowly crept into Cherise’s heart…
“Mr. Handsome, how do you know I ate strawberries?” Serafina looked at Damien with a radiant smile. Her cheeks were flushed. “I just played with Ren!”
“Let me guess, did you play with a toy helicopter?” Serafina’s eyes widened as she gazed at Damien. After a moment, the little girl clapped her chubby hands. “You’re so smart, Mr. Handsome. You know everything!”
Damien responded with a faint smile, “Did you enjoy playing with the toy helicopter?”
“It was so much fun! Uncle Zach bought it for us!”
“Is Uncle Zach nice to you?”
“Yes, he is. He’s very nice.” The little girl scratched her head in confusion and continued, “But Uncle Zach said no one likes him. He seems very sad.”
Damien responded with an aloof smile and tousled the little girl’s hair. “He… deserves it.”
Cherise was dumbstruck. Even if she were utterly clueless, she understood what had transpired. The woman’s brows wrinkled fiercely. “Did you follow me?”
“I wasn’t interested in you.” The man patted Serafina’s head. He stood up and looked at Cherise indifferently. “I just wanted to see them when they got off school.”
“The kids have grown so much, but I’ve never picked them up from school. Who knew… another man would beat me to it.”
Cherise pursed her lips as her heart constricted slightly. “He came to see me today for a
reason!”
“That’s right!” Serafina chimed in. “Uncle Zach came to give us presents today! By the way, Mommy bought a very expensive lipstick today!”
After Serafina spoke, Soren leaned back in the corner with his arms crossed and said nonchalantly, “Maybe Mommy bought that lipstick because she wants to dress up to impress Uncle Zach.”
Cherise was dumbfounded. When did I ever imply that the lipstick was for Zachary!?
Serafina might have misunderstood, but Soren is so sensible. How can he misconstrue my intentions?!
The woman subconsciously turned to look at the boy in the corner.
He flashed her a mischievous smile and spoke in a low voice, “Mommy really values Uncle Zach.”
Cherise was flabbergasted. Why do I suddenly feel a chill in the elevator?
“Mr. Handsome, why do you look so unhappy?” After a prolonged silence, Serafina’s innocent. voice echoed in the elevator. “Mr. Handsome, are you troubled because you have too many admirers like Mommy?”
