Chapter 548 The Unmoved Heart
Why did Cherise’s response differ so greatly from what was expected?
She appeared neither touched nor excited, and even went so far as to take a mocking photograph
“Mr. Lenoir, perhaps it’s your approach that is lacking. You didn’t kneel, suggested Mr. Kolson through the earpiece. “A heartfelt kneel could convey your sincerity.”
Damien stood still, his brow furrowed.
Mr. Kolson persisted, “Mr. Lenoir, you must trust me.”
“Your experience in relationships is limited to a brief encounter with your wife five years ago. On the other hand, I have experienced numerous romances and dated countless women. I even showed them your photo yesterday to gather insights for your reconciliation.”
“They unanimously agreed that any woman would be deeply moved and readily forgive you if you knee! with roses in hand!”
Damien’s frown deepened as he processed Mr. Kolson’s words. Clenching his teeth, he muttered. “I’ll trust you one last time”
With that, he took a deep breath and stepped forward. He knelt before Cherise with the roses and uttered her name. “Cherise”
“We can’t change the past, but please allow me the chance to rediscover you, to reevaluate our relationship, to start anew”
Lifting his dark, intense eyes, he looked earnestly at Cherise, “Hello, my name is Damien Lenoir.”
Cherise narrowed her eyes.
Start anew?
What an absurd idea!
If it weren’t for his money, she would have turned away instantly.
No, first she would have kicked him and snapped, “Damien Lenoir, wake up!”
“I’m not the naive girl you once charmed with your sweet words. I have a five-year-old child now.”
But Cherise had to swallow these words.
Because Damien came as a potential investor for the hospital.
His satisfaction with her service today was crucial for acquiring advanced medical equipment for their department next quarter.
That was the crux of the matter.
So, with a forced smile, Cherise responded, “Mr. Lenoir, you’re my patient today, correct?”
Approaching slowly, she took the roses from his hand and placed them beside a fire hydrant, “We have several tests later, and the scent of roses might interfere with the respiratory exams, so let’s keep them
12
away from the examination room.”
She then looked up, eyeing Damien’s suit, “Did you bring any change of clothes?”
“The suit might be in the way for the tests later.”
Damien remained silent, his frown deepening at her question.
“You didn’t bring any, did you?”
