Chapter 539 Why Would I Make You Worry?
Damien had seen Beckham and Zachary’s luxurious homes and was amazed to discover where Cherise and her children lived.
Isn’t this a dormitory for school staff?
She is Beckham and Charisa’s daughter. Surely, she doesn’t have to live so modestly, right?
“We’re home!”
The door of the red BMW swung open. A little girl in a white frilly dress hopped out, beaming happily. She sprinted towards the entrance of the dormitory, saying, “Mommy, I’m so tired!”
Cherise locked the car. She held her children’s hands and entered the apartment building. “Let’s hurry home, take a bath, and go to bed.”
“Okay!”
“Ms. Shaw, you’re twenty–five years old. Can you stop talking in a childish voice like Sera?”
“Hey, twenty–five is still considered young!”
“Mommy, people my age are what is called young…”
Damien got out of the car and listened to Cherise and her children’s conversation fading into the distance. His lips curved into a faint smile.
No matter how she acted in public, Cherise reverted to her down–to–earth self when with family and enjoyed teasing loved ones.
Damien leaned against the car, lit a cigarette, and observed the lights flicker to life in the staff dormitory. A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Cherise was still the same as he remembered. As long as she did not fall in love with another man and their children had his blood in their veins, he still had a chance to win her back.
The walls of the apartment were adorned with pink rabbit–patterned wallpapers. There were adorable rabbit decorations everywhere.
Cherise unlocked the door and turned on the light. “Sera, Ren, go change your clothes. I’ll get the bath ready.”
“Yes, Mommy!” Serafina grinned and announced, “I’ll go change now!”
Soren, however, had one hand tucked in his pocket as he quietly observed Cherise. “Did you deal with a difficult patient today?”
Cherise was taking off her coat and was momentarily startled. She turned to her son with a smile. Although he was only five, his attitude seemed more like that of a fifteen–year–old. “Why do you ask?”
“It’s because you’ve been frowning and forcing yourself to smile.”
If it isn’t work trouble, it must be someone pursuing you.”
The boy smoothly removed his coat and gracefully plopped down on the couch. “So, Ms. Shaw, what kind
of problem did you encounter that made you so downcast?”
Cherise ruffled her son’s hair. “You’re overthinking.”
“I’m just tired from working overtime.”
“But you didn’t used to act like this when you worked overtime.”
Cherise was rendered speechless.
Having such an perceptive son was not always a good thing.
She cleared her throat. “You guessed it right.”
“Someb*dy is pursuing me.”
“That person… is someone I knew before. I don’t want to be with him, but he’s persistent, so I feel troubled.”
Then, Cherise sighed and continued, “But it’s an adult matter. You’re still a child. It’s nothing for you to be concerned about.”
“You just have to take good care of Sera and focus on your studies in kindergarten. I’ll be content as long as you don’t make me worry.”
“Hmph, why would I make you worry?”
Soren pursed his lips and pointed to the bathroom. “Mommy, aren’t you going to run the bath for Sera?”
Cherise was startled and realized she had completely forgotten about it. She got up and headed to the bathroom.
Soren had a maturity beyond his age. Although he was only five, he was keenly aware of being a boy.
