Chapter 908 An Invitation
‘However, I don’t need you to treat me to a meal. I’ve long forgotten the taste of my childhood. What I love the most now is the food my husband cooks.’
After carefully reviewing the message several times to ensure there were no typos or ambiguities, Cherise pressed the send button.
Two seconds after sending the message, she received a response from Sebastian.
He sent a smiling emoji and responded, ‘You may have forgotten the taste of your childhood, but I still remember it.
‘If you have time, let’s meet up for a meal. I remember where I bought the drumsticks for you back then.’
Perhaps afraid that Cherise would refuse again, he added, ‘I went back to that store a few days ago. It’s still there and hasn’t closed down.
Cherise gripped her phone tightly, her eyes shooting back and forth between the phone and the view outside, still uncertain about how to respond.
Taking a deep breath, she simply turned off her phone and decided not to respond.
But an uneasy feeling still coiled around her heart.
Was it really okay to stand up to an old classmate like this? She thought anxiously, leaving her feeling adrift in a sea of uncertainty.
With these thoughts in mind, she looked up and glanced at the man driving next to her.
His stern face was marked with dark circles under his eyes, and there were even traces of redness in his eyes.
The past few days had been exhausting for him, and it showed.
One of the reasons that contributed to his overexertion was her old classmate, Sebastian.
Cherise closed her eyes, ruminating between Sebastian and Damien. Within seconds, she made her choice.
After all, Sebastian was no longer the same person he was back then.
Then there was Damien; who accompanied her day and night, holding her preciously in the palm of his hand.
Anyone could tell which of these two people was more important to her.
Before long, Damien’s car arrived at the Lenoir residence.
“What are you thinking about?”
Damien’s deep voice brought her attention back to the present.
Feeling guilty that she had even considered meeting Sebastian for a split second, she panicked and waved her hands about in denial. “Nothing, nothing.”
Damien noticed her uneasiness, but instead of further probing into her thoughts, he smiled faintly at her. “You seem distracted. Are you thinking about when the third and fourth should be born?”
Cherise was at a loss for words.
This man was just serious a moment ago. Why is he talking about children now?
But then, if he really likes children… I could give him more kids.
With that thought in mind, she put her phone back in her bag, tidied up her things, and got out of the car. Then she threw herself into his arms, kissing him on the cheeks. “Honey, do you really like children?” she asked, her round eyes beaming at him.
Damien smiled, reaching out to pinch her delicate face. “What do you think?”
Cherise pouted, and then she extended her arms to hug his strong waist. “Then it’s settled. After we’re done with the recent matters…”
As the woman spoke, her face started to take on a red hue. “After we’re done, I’ll prepare to have another one for you, okay? But first! We must both come to an agreement.”
She raised her head, pouting, her black grape-like eyes staring at him intently as she continued, “I can only give birth to one more for you.”
“Three children are enough for us; after I give birth to the third, you can’t talk about having a fourth or fifth anymore!”
“I understand that the lingering sadness from your childhood still clutches on you, making you feel like two children are not enough.”
“But you have to believe, with you and me, our children will be fine!”
“So three is enough! I’m not a chicken that can lay as many eggs as you want!”
The woman stared at him, saying the words seriously but with a hint of humor.
Damien smiled helplessly, reaching out his arms to hold her tightly. “Okay, I listen to you. Then let’s just have three.”
“Okay!”
Cherise nodded seriously, satisfied that they had quickly reached a peaceful conclusion. With a smile that lit up her entire face, she lifted her head and kissed Damien on the face.
