    Chapter 205 Thank You


    Their eyes met, and he gave her a slight smile. Cherise felt a little rush, quickly shifting her gaze


    away.


    Sitting at the dining table, Damien mentioned, “This ce is nothing like Lenoir Manor; it’s pretty


    remote, with no public transport around and hardly any cabs.” He continued, e join. me for


    breakfast. I’ll give you a lift afterward.”


    Cherise pursed her lips and didn’t intend to pay him much attention. “Even if there are few taxis, I’ll wait


    by the roadside, and I’m sure I’ll eventually catch one!”


    Damien chuckled, “But your backpack is in my car.”


    Cherise was taken aback. She shot him a re. “Don’t think I can’t go to school just because I don’t


    have my backpack!”


    Trying to make things right with me this way without exining the situation and an apology? Not a


    chance!


    “Fine, you can go to school without a backpack.

    “While I don’t just have your backpack in the car, I also have your textbooks, ss notes for today, and


    the holiday homework you’ve been asked to hand in today.”


    This time, Cherise was left with no choice.


    Lennon quietly gave Damien a thumbs-up. This guy is incredibly thorough and thick-skinned!


    Cherise pursed her lips, feeling somewhat resigned. She made her way back to the dining table to


    finish her breakfast. After noticing her slightly messy hair, Damien said. “You might want to brush. your


    teeth, wash your face, and tie up your hair.”


    Cherise was puzzled by his sudden instructions. It dawned on her that she had woken up in a bit of a


    panic, thinking she had slept the night with Lennon after a round of drinks, so she hurried out without


    freshening up!


    Cherise’s face flushed as she hurried to the bathroom.


    Lennon couldn’t help but admire Damien. “So, I heard your Cherry has been ying the active role of a


    caregiver to you?”


    How did the roles get reversed? Seems like she’s the one getting taken care of now, and the typically


    proud Damien is… like a father taking care of the child.


    Damien raised an eyebrow at him. “Don’t you have anyone looking out for you?”


    Lennon was taken aback. Why single out the single folks?


    1/2


    Dejected, Lennon briefly embraced ke, his fellow singlerade who was busy eating. I can take


    care of ke!”


    The young man widened his eyes and fought to escape. “No thanks!”


    Lennon was left momentarily speechless.


    After freshening up, Cherise emerged from the bathroom. The other three were already seated at the


    dining table, leaving an empty spot across from Damien, which she reluctantly upied


    The man across from her slid a te of food in her direction. “Dig in while it’s still hot.”


    Cherise shot him a nce, but she wasn’t about to forgive him just because he was being thoughtful.


    Nevertheless, she hadn’t eaten much the previous night and had been hungry.


    As she tasted the food, it turned out to be genuinely delicious.


    After breakfast, Damien gave Cherise a ride to school. He hadn’t lied; he had her backpack, textbooks,


    ssroom notes for the day, and the holiday homework she needed to submit to her teacher.


    “Thanks,” she said, a small smile showing her appreciation.


    He chuckled. “No need to thank me.”


    With that, Damien started the car. But as they pulled away, Cherise raised an eyebrow.


    “Are you sure it’s safe to drive me to school like this?”


    Wouldn’t someone notice?


    Even though Damien had been candid about his perfect eyesight with her, it wasn’t a given that


    everyone else would know he wasn’t blind, right?


    Besides, Lennon had told her that Damien had his share of enemies, and he’d been feigning blindness


    as a tactic to fool them. So, wouldn’t it raise eyebrows if others saw him driving so casually?
