Damien affectionately rutlled her hair. “They sound good to me.” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Cherise held Damien’s arm triumphantly, raising her head high. “Did husband says I’m a good hummer!”
you
hear that? My
Blake was speechless. After a while, he sullenly pursed his lips and muttered under his breath. “Having a husband is such a big deal.
“That’s right!” Cherise was extremely pleased. Co get yourself a husband if you can!”
Blake was speechless again.
The car drove for four hours before finally reaching the town where Cherise’s hometown
was.
On this journey, at first, Cherise was excitedly chatting with Blake. However, maybe because she didn’t sleep well the night before and the ride was bumpy, she fell asleep in Damien’s arms.
By the time they reached town, it was already noon. Mr. Kolson slowed down the car. “Mr. Lenoir, Mrs. Lenoir will need to give directions from here on out.”
The town’s roads weren’t on the GPS, and this place was a maze. Only Cherise, a local, could navigate them.
Damien looked down at the young woman peacefully sleeping in his arms. He sighed faintly. “Let’s stop for a break.”
“Take Blake to get something to eat. He must be tired after driving all morning.”
Mr. Kolson nodded and parked the car in a corner. Blake and Mr. Kolson got out.
Damien stayed where he was, watching Cherise’s peaceful sleeping face.
Maybe it was because the car suddenly stopped, but Cherise woke up. She opened her eyes groggily and asked, “Where are we?”
“Somewhere I don’t recognize,” Damien responded.
The young woman yawned, looked out the car window, and got excited, “Yay, we’re finally here!”
She asked, “Where are Mr. Kolson and Blake?”
“I thought you wanted to sleep a little longer, so I let them go get something to eat.”
Cherise was stunned for a moment and pursed her lips. “Okay, honey. Let’s go eat, too, then.”
She saw a sign for a small eatery in the distance. “I know a place with delicious pasta! I used to go there all the time in high school!”
Damien smiled. “Sounds good.”
Cherise excitedly pushed Damien, who was blindfolded, out of the car and headed quickly towards the small eatery.
But before reaching the eatery’s entrance, they bumped into someone Cherise knew.
“Hey, isn’t this our high school’s pride, Cherise, who got into Adania University?” A woman’s mocking voice rang out. “And why are you walking a cripple?”
“What’s wrong with this cripple’s eyes?”
“Is he blind and crippled as well?”
The woman who spoke was Vivian, whom Cherise knew. She had mentioned her two days. ago when talking about her hometown with Damien.
Since childhood, Vivian and Cherise hadn’t gotten along, and whenever she had a chance, she would try to put Cherise down.
Fortunately, Cherise left the town with excellent exam results and successfully enrolled in Adania University.
In contrast, Vivian didn’t even pass a vocational school entrance exam and returned home to marry after high school. Since then, Cherise’s world has become so much more. peaceful.
However, Cherise never expected that simply deciding to stop for a meal with Damien. would lead to an encounter with Vivian.
Good grief!
At this moment, Vivian wore loose maternity overalls and walked toward Cherise with a cold look.
While walking, she wore a mocking smile. “A few days ago, I heard my family talking about you. After getting into college, you married a disabled person.”
“I found it hilarious. It turns out that after having made it into a renowned college, you’re no different from someone like me who didn’t even make it to vocational school, right?”
