“Cherry and Mr. Lenoir have arrived.”
Elvis Shaw forced a smile, exchanging pleasantries as he weed the group into hist home.
After a round of family greetings, the sun was rapidly making its descent. Sarah began preparing dinner
while Elvis Shaw went out to fetch some wine.
Noticing Damien and ke looking disinterested, Cherise suggested taking them to the small river near
the vige for fishing. Since the rural roads were uneven, Cherise found. an old crutch that had
belonged to Mary and used it to assist Damien as they made their way to the river.
“Darling, can you feel it? The country air is so much fresher than in the city!” She chatted with him while
strolling, taking in the serene surroundings.
Damien gave a slight nod, “Yes.”
Though the vige was small, it possessed a picturesque charm, enveloped in lush greenery, and the
river’s water glistened crystal clear. Such a breathtaking locale undoubtedly influenced Cherise’s pure
and simple nature.

by his side, watching ke enthusiastically fish in the water. After observing for a while, she couldn’t

Should she depart, leaving him behind and indulging in fishing, he would undeniably experience
loneliness and exclusion.
“Go on and join ke,” Damien suggested, his tone devoid of annoyance.
It was apparent she yearned to go fishing from her demeanor. Cherise hesitated momentarily, then
resolutely shook her head, saying, “No, I’d rather stay here and chat with you.”
Considering Damien’s inability to see and incapacity to enter the water, leaving him alone would
inevitably make him feel isted and forlorn.
“Go ahead,” Damien responded with a faint smile. “I’ll take this opportunity to make a call to the
company. It’s been a day since I left; I should catch up on their reports.”

“Yes,” Damien responded warmly.
“Alright!” Cherise joyfully patted his head and nted a kiss on his cheek. “I’m off to fish, my love! You

Damien settled at the riverbank, gazing at the young girl with her sparkling eyes while she yed with

He couldn’t recollect exactly-it seemed like an eternity since his sister’s tragic death in at fire thirteen
years ago. Cherise had rekindled in him the idea that life was filled with countless opportunities,
something he had lost sight of.
With a smile on his face, he retrieved his phone.
“Sir, we’ve already alerted the local authorities.
“Vivian’s husband was no stranger to criminal activities, and the extent of his wrongdoings far exceeds
the information we obtained.”
“Now that the police are involved, they will likely apprehend him tonight.”
Greg reported his findings to Damien. After a momentary pause, he inquired, “Sir, I don’t understand
why you apanied your wife back and then began overseeing these small matters?”
The two messages Damien had sent earlier had left Greg momentarily bewildered, making him doubt if
he had misread them. The first message involved dispatching someone to collect records on a
troublesome couple in a small town. The other sought. assistance in renovating and investing in a small
