    Chapter 161 A Dream


    He even asked about the age of the elderlydy in Cherise’s story!


    Frances and Mr. Kolson were taken aback. This was unlike Damien!


    Normally, he was so distant that he couldn’t even be bothered to listen to Tristan’s romantic escapades.


    Now, he was quietly listening to Cherise talk about the everyday lives.


    of the rural folks!


    Love, indeed, had a way of making people throw caution to the wind…


    Cherisey her head on Damien’sp and kept talking until she drifted asleep.


    Damien gently lowered his head, running his fingers through her dark, silky hair, a subtle smile gracing


    his face. He nced at Mr. Hampson, who was half-dozing behind him, and said, “Condense my


    schedule and free up a week.”


    Mr. Hampson snapped back to attention and furrowed his brows as he looked at Damien. “Mr. Lenoir,


    are you… nning to apany Mrs. to the countryside?”


    “Yes,” Damien replied in a low, affectionate tone. “she’s probably homesick.”


    It had been a month since they got married, and it was natural for Cherise to feel homesick. He should


    have considered her feelings and taken her back home sooner. It was his failure as a husband for not


    noticing sooner.


    Mr. Hampson furrowed his brows. “But, this is such a critical time. After signing the agreement with


    Raetec Group, we’re worried that they would back out or deliver subpar products. Ourpany needs


    your presence now.”


    Damien sighed and closed his eyes. “Try to bring Lennon back.”


    Mr. Hampson was surprised. “Mr. Lenoir, there are too manyplications surrounding. Mr. Belcourt.


    Bringing him back now… wouldn’t that be too conspicuous?”

    “Not at all.”


    Damien stroked Cherise’s hair as he continued, “Although Lennon has severed ties with the Belcourt


    family and found sess overseas, he still cares about his sister, Violet.”


    Mr. Hampson chimed in, “That’s the persona his managementpany has designed for him.”


    “In that case…

    A sly glint flickered in Damien’s deep, enigmatic eyes. “If Violet were to have a car ident and end up


    in aa in the ICU, and Lennon rushed back from abroad in great distress, would it be convincing for


    his return?”


    Mr. Hampson was at a loss for words.


    No worries, Mr. Hampson Damien said.


    He lifted Cherise gently into his arms. “It’s settled then.”


    Mr. Hampson hesitated and then said, “Very well. I’ll inform Mr. Belcourt and the family.”


    As Damien carried Cherise upstairs, he realized a loophole in their n. He turned to Damien and said,


    “But, Ms. Belcourt is perfectly healthy. If word gets out that she’s in aa, she’ll be isted and


    unable to interact with anyone…


    “Do you think she’ll like that idea?” Damien raised an eyebrow, his pace unhurried as he ascended the


    stairs. “She will.”


    “Tell her it’s the consequence of her attempts to cause discord.”


    Meanwhile, Cherise had a long dream.


    In her dream, she led Damien to an old countryside mansion, where a wise, white- bearded man


    handed Damien a miraculous pill After Damien swallowed it, his vision was miraculously restored.


    In her dream, Damien, now with his restored eyesight, showered her withpliments. and


    affectionate kisses.


    Blushing, she yfully scolded him, saying, “Alright, honey, that’s enough kissing…”


    “Alright, no more kissing”


    From a distance, a deep, amusedughter seemed to resonate…


    Cherise jolted awake.


    There, in front of her, she found Damien’s eyes, adorned with a mischievous grin.


    She blinked in surprise. It had all been a dream.
