‘However, I don’t need you to treat me to a meal. I’ve long forgotten the taste of my childhood. What I


    love the most now is the food my husband cooks.’


    After carefully reviewing the message several times to ensure there were no typos or ambiguities,


    Cherise pressed the send button.


    Two seconds after sending the message, she received a response from Sebastian.


    He sent a smiling emoji and responded, ‘You may have forgotten the taste of your childhood, but I still


    remember it.


    ‘If you have time, let’s meet up for a meal. I remember where I bought the drumsticks for you back


    then.’


    Perhaps afraid that Cherise would refuse again, he added, ‘I went back to that store a few days ago.


    It’s still there and hasn’t closed down.


    Cherise gripped her phone tightly, her eyes shooting back and forth between the phone and the view


    outside, still uncertain about how to respond.


    Taking a deep breath, she simply turned off her phone and decided not to respond.


    But an uneasy feeling still coiled around her heart.


    Was it really okay to stand up to an old ssmate like this? She thought anxiously, leaving her feeling


    adrift in a sea of uncertainty.


    With these thoughts in mind, she looked up and nced at the man driving next to her.


    His stern face was marked with dark circles under his eyes, and there were even traces of redness in


    his eyes.


    The past few days had been exhausting for him, and it showed.


    One of the reasons that contributed to his overexertion was her old ssmate, Sebastian.


    Cherise closed her eyes, ruminating between Sebastian and Damien. Within seconds, she made her


    choice.


    After all, Sebastian was no longer the same person he was back then.


    Then there was Damien; who apanied her day and night, holding her preciously in the palm of his


    hand.


    Anyone could tell which of these two people was more important to her.


    Before long, Damien’s car arrived at the Lenoir residence.


    “What are you thinking about?”


    Damien’s deep voice brought her attention back to the present.


    Feeling guilty that she had even considered meeting Sebastian for a split second, she panicked and


    waved her hands about in denial. “Nothing, nothing.”


    Damien noticed her uneasiness, but instead of further probing into her thoughts, he smiled faintly at


    her. “You seem distracted. Are you thinking about when the third and fourth should be born?”


    Cherise was at a loss for words.


    This man was just serious a moment ago. Why is he talking about children now?


    But then, if he really likes children… I could give him more kids.


    With that thought in mind, she put her phone back in her bag, tidied up her things, and got out of the


    car. Then she threw herself into his arms, kissing him on the cheeks. “Honey, do you really like


    children?” she asked, her round eyes beaming at him.


    Damien smiled, reaching out to pinch her delicate face. “What do you think?”


    Cherise pouted, and then she extended her arms to hug his strong waist. “Then it’s settled. After we’re


    done with the recent matters…”


    As the woman spoke, her face started to take on a red hue. “After we’re done, I’ll prepare to have


    another one for you, okay? But first! We must bothe to an agreement.”


    She raised her head, pouting, her ck grape-like eyes staring at him intently as she continued, “I can


    only give birth to one more for you.”

    “Three children are enough for us; after I give birth to the third, you can’t talk about having a fourth or


    fifth anymore!”


    “I understand that the lingering sadness from your childhood still clutches on you, making you feel like


    two children are not enough.”


    “But you have to believe, with you and me, our children will be fine!”


    “So three is enough! I’m not a chicken that cany as many eggs as you want!”


    The woman stared at him, saying the words seriously but with a hint of humor.


    Damien smiled helplessly, reaching out his arms to hold her tightly. “Okay, I listen to you. Then let’s just


    have three.”


    “Okay!”


    Cherise nodded seriously, satisfied that they had quickly reached a peaceful conclusion. With a smile


    that lit up her entire face, she lifted her head and kissed Damien on the face.
