At that time, Cherise didn’t fully grasp Sebastian’s circumstances, but she could sense that he was perpetually gloomy.


    Therefore, she consistently offered words offort to Sebastian, assuring him that he was just as capable as anyone else.


    Over time, she developed a close friendship with Sebastian; he even shared his drumsticks with her on numerous asions.


    It marked Cherise’s inaugural experience with drumsticks.


    The juicy taste of the meat from the drumsticks was simply too exquisite.


    As aresult, she developed a fondness for it, eventually bing her favorite food of all time.


    “You''ve been through a lot.”


    Damien sighed softly, extending his arms to embrace Cherise. “From now on, I''ll give you as many drumsticks as you desire.”


    “However, let’s avoid a repeat of today!”


    Cherise smiled wryly at Damien. “Today''s fiasco really frightened me.”


    “If | consume all these drumsticks, you might not recognize me tomorrow!” she cried.


    Observing Cherise’s helpless expression, Damien smiled gently as he embraced her and nted a kiss on her cheek. “It won''t


    happen again.”


    “But this moment is quite pleasant as well,” he said as he rested his chin on her head.


    Cherise turned to nce at the children relishing their drumsticks. “These children are truly deservin of pity,” she muttered softly,


    her eyesrge and rimmed with tears.


    Bing a mother had intensified her affection for the children. Witnessing numerous parentless children enjoying their


    drumsticks obediently, a whirlwind of emotions swept through her.


    “We should make it a point to visit them more frequently in the future,” she said, her gaze still on the children.


    Nodding solemnly, Damien responded, “Agreed.”


    After a pause, Cherise took a deep breath before saying, “These children truly tug at my heartstrings.”


    “| feel sorry for myself as well,” she added wistfully, her eyes looking as if they were gazing into a distant memory.


    Damien encircled Cherise’s waist. “I yearn for a third and fourth child, but you never consent to it.”


    She narrowed her eyes at him and scoffed out loud.


    Unbelievable, she thought to herself. She was still in the middle of reflecting on her memories and pondering on what she could


    do to help those kids.


    Where was this man’s mind wandering!?


    As she was about to push Damien away, his lips tenderly met hers.


    Just as Cherise was about to resist, the window beside her suddenly creaked open.


    Agroup of children from the orphanage peered through the window, beaming at Cherise and Damien. “Oh! The prince and


    princess are sharing a kiss just like in fairy tales!”


    “Wow, are you two the prince and princess?”


    “How romantic!”


    Following their exmations, they even pped in excitement.


    Flustered, Cherise’s mouth parted in silence surprise, before she swiftly pushed Damien away,


    “Finish your meal and head to bed!”

    Cherise shrugged, “Isn’t it a good deed to watch the children perform and assist the orphanage?”


    Damien shook his head in amusement. “Do you know why she invited both of us?”


    Puzzled, Cherise tilted her head. “I’m not sure,” she replied honestly.
