“Why not accept this and rid yourself of worries in the future?” Damien proposed, a subtle gesture accompanied by a reassuring smile.

Acknowledging his suggestion with a subtle nod, Cherise prepared to make her way to the kitchen However, as she made her move, she was taken aback to find a cup of steaming hot water already prepared for her.

Instinctively, she glanced downward, cradling the cup in her hands. Her attention was swiftly diverted as Alexis, with an air of innocence, inquired, “I couldn’t help but wonder, does the lady from earlier have children of her own?”

Cherise’s gaze shot up in surprise, seeking confirmation from Damien, who mirrored her intrigue.

“Truly?” Alexis’s countenance brightened with anticipation. “Then, may I go home with her?”
