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.
âDing.â 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.
âWow, are you just getting home too, Mr. Handsome?â Serafinaâs innocent voice echoed within the elevator.
Damien smiled faintly in response. He crouched down to meet Serafinaâs eye level. âHow were the strawberries?â
Cherise was flabbergasted.
Under the bright elevator light, Cherise could clearly see that Serafina was spotless. Serafina hadnât been stained by any strawberries. The little girl had just played on the lawn and smelled only of gra*s.
How can Damien possibly know that Serafina had just eaten strawberries? UnlessâŠ
A sense of foreboding slowly crept into Cheriseâs heartâŠ
âMr. Handsome, how do you know I ate strawberries?â Serafina looked at Damien with a radiant smile. Her cheeks were flushed. âI just played with Ren!â
âLet me guess, did you play with a toy helicopter?â Serafinaâs eyes widened as she gazed at Damien. After a moment, the little girl clapped her chubby hands. âYouâre so smart, Mr. Handsome. You know everything!â
Damien responded with a faint smile, âDid you enjoy playing with the toy helicopter?â
âIt was so much fun! Uncle Zach bought it for us!â
âIs Uncle Zach nice to you?â
âYes, he is. Heâs very nice.â The little girl scratched her head in confusion and continued, âBut Uncle Zach said no one likes him. He seems very sad.â
Damien responded with an aloof smile and tousled the little girlâs hair. âHe⊠deserves it.â
Cherise was dumbstruck. Even if she were utterly clueless, she understood what had transpired. The womanâs brows wrinkled fiercely. âDid you follow me?â
âI wasnât interested in you.â The man patted Serafinaâs head. He stood up and looked at Cherise indifferently. âI just wanted to see them when they got off school.â
âThe kids have grown so much, but Iâve never picked them up from school. Who knew⊠another man would beat me to it.â
Cherise pursed her lips as her heart constricted slightly. âHe came to see me today for a
reason!â
âThatâs right!â Serafina chimed in. âUncle Zach came to give us presents today! By the way, Mommy bought a very expensive lipstick today!â
After Serafina spoke, Soren leaned back in the corner with his arms crossed and said nonchalantly, âMaybe Mommy bought that lipstick because she wants to dress up to impress Uncle Zach.â
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, âMommy really values Uncle Zach.â
Cherise was flabbergasted. Why do I suddenly feel a chill in the elevator?
âMr. Handsome, why do you look so unhappy?â After a prolonged silence, Serafinaâs innocent. voice echoed in the elevator. âMr. Handsome, are you troubled because you have too many admirers like Mommy?â
