Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571 I’m Not Hungry 

Serafina beamed with a radiant smile. “Ren said Mommy is going through a tough time.” 

“But Mommy said she’s alright.” 

I’m confused, I don’t know if Mommy is really struggling.” 

“Your mommy… 

Damien raised his hand and tousled her dark hair. “She must be going through a tough time.” 

“Ren thinks so too!” 

The man nodded in agreement. 

For the past five years, Cherise had been singlehandedly taking care of two children. 

She had refused financial support from Zachary and assistance from Beckham. She chose to work and raise her children alone. 

Damien shook his head in resignation. 

She was as stubborn as she was five years ago, beyond any hope of change. 

Once she set her mind on something, she persevered, no matter how challenging or exhausting it was. 

She had made a decision regarding both the children and her job. Thus, she refused any financial aid from the Tanner and Miles families. 

She was stubborn but also unwavering. 

“Mister, do you have strawberries here every day 

Serafina’s innocent voice snapped Damien out of this thoughts. 

The man smiled softly. “Yes, every day.” 

“Do you want to come and eat strawberries every day?” 

“That might be a bit difficult.” 

The little girl frowned 

She pondered for a moment, feeling distressed. “Mommy was distracted today, so I managed to sneak out unnoticed.” 

“I don’t know about next time.” 

As she spoke, she looked at Damien earnestly. “But don’t worry, mister. If I have time, I’ll definitely come and finish them for you!” 

“Okay.” 

Damien smiled, raising his hand to wipe off the red stains from the little girl’s face with a napkin. 

A message from Blake flashed on his phone. ‘He’s back.

At this moment, the man reluctantly looked at the little girl on the sofa. “Your brother is coming back. You should go to the elevator and wait for him.” 

After that, he handed the little girl a card. “This is the card to my house. There’ll be strawberries here every day in the future. You can sneak over and eat them whenever you have time.” 

“Okay!” 

The child accepted the card gleefully. “You’re so kind, mister!” 

She tucked the card into her pocket, left reluctantly, and stood beside the elevator. 

The elevator arrived shortly. 

Soren emerged from the elevator carrying two jars of salt and two ice creams. He coolly handed both ice creams to his sister. “Didn’t I tell you to stay home and not wander off?” 

“I was worried!” 

Serafina turned away guiltily and followed Soren home.
