Chapter 632 Come Back Soon
Cherise furrowed her brows as she reached out to touch the overheating computer. She checked when the files had last been saved. He had stayed up working until half past four in the morning.
Has the computer been running for that long?
She sighed and saved all the open documents before powering the computer down. It was easy to run up a hefty electricity bill like this.
However… just as she was about to turn off the computer, her gaze subconsciously drifted to the desktop.
The wallpaper was a wedding photo of them taken five years ago during their wedding. preparations. Clad in a spotless white wedding dress, Cherise was happily nestled in Damien’s arms and smiled radiantly in the picture..
As she gazed at the desktop, Cherise’s hand tightened around the mouse. Countless. memories flooded her heart, bringing her to the brink of tears.
They had only spent a brief time together, a mere three months. It was less than half a year.
She questioned herself at times. Are those few months really so significant to me?Is it really something I can’t forget?
But her lingering memories and feelings clearly demonstrated that she couldn’t forget Damien. His brief presence in her life was enough to leave a lasting impression on her.
Even after spending the past five years with Zachary, she only felt guilty towards him. She had no romantic feelings for him..
My feelings are truly puzzling. Cherise let out a bitter laugh and powered down the computer before opening Damien’s wardrobe to look for a suitable outfit.
His wardrobe was impeccably organized, housing only a few suits. After rummaging, Cherise found a set of light gray pajamas.
A photo fell from one of the pockets as she picked up the outfit. Cherise bent down to retrieve it.
In the photo, Damien was unconscious and covered in dirt and grime. His clothes showed signs of being scorched, but he was clutching a jewelry box in his hand.
That jewelry bar… Cherise recognized it. It housed the rings they had exchanged before the priest at their wedding five years ago. When she left, she had asked Lucy to return her ring to
him.
Pain surged in her heart. She took a deep breath, feeling a mix of warmth and sorrow, Perhaps he had also been suffering just as much as her over the past five years.
A tear trickled out of the corner of her eye as she placed the photo back in his wardrobe.
When she flipped the photo, she saw three words written on the back. ‘Come back soon. It didn’t seem to be his handwriting. But five years had passed, and she had almost forgotten what his writing looked like.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her
‘Come back soon.
eyes.
They had finally reunited and were able to get along peacefully. Perhaps everything could go back to how it was in the past.
When Cherise returned home with an outfit for Damien, she found Soren impatiently instructing Damien on how to roll out dough.
“Like this. This way.” Soren’s small hands were working the dough, guiding Damien step by step, just as Cherise had once taught Soren.
Standing at the doorway, Cherise felt warmth spread through her heart. Her son had only learned this half a year ago.
There was a simple reason why Soren had learned how to do it. His younger sister loved pierogis, and it was exhausting for Cherise to do everything herself. Therefore, he had insisted on Cherise teaching him how to do it in a bid to ease her burden.
She never expected him to be good enough to teach his dad in such a short time!
“Ah, how can you be so clumsy?!”
