Chapter 249 Why Are You Lost in Thought

“Is Lennon really doing whatever he wants because Damien is paying?”

Cherise furrowed her brows and looked up at the signboard. They were really at New World

Restaurant.

Cherise had previously made a mistake when treating the student council president and others to a

meal, so she had researched all the upscale restaurants in Adania like the good student she was.

New World Restaurant’s prices were second only to Viopril Palace among Adania’s upscale

restaurants.

Lennon had driven here while everyone wasn’t paying attention.

When Cherise thought about it, she subconsciously wanted to enter the car again. “No, no. This place

is too expensive!”

She was still disturbed about what had happened in Viopril Palace!

Damien happened to be exiting the vehicle when she walked toward the car.

The girl walked right into the man’s tall figure.

He reached out to pull her into an embrace. “What’s wrong?”

“Lennon did it on purpose!”

Cherise pursed her lips and complained. “He brought us to the second most expensive restaurant in

Adania!”

It was just the four of them eating together. They didn’t have to go to such a restaurant.

It was extravagant and a waste of money!

Damien laughed. He knew about her living environment since she was young, and it must have

cultivated a frugal mindset within her. She must have been feeling troubled that they were at such a

place.

But he smiled at her indifferently. “We don’t have to spend money here.”

Cherise furrowed her brows. Before she could say anything, Lennon locked the car in exasperation. “I

own New World Restaurant.”

He sighed, feeling aggrieved. “I initially wanted to treat everyone to a meal at my restaurant, but…”

Cherise’s face paled.

Her mouth widened. She realized that she had misunderstood Lennon and immediately. apologized to

him. “I’m sorry…”

“Why are you apologizing?”

Lennon yawned. As he walked to the restaurant, he spoke indolently. “Actually, I’m the one who should

be apologizing.”

“If I wasn’t so impulsive and hadn’t assaulted Ian, none of this would have happened.”

“If I hadn’t returned two weeks ago… you wouldn’t have been so embarrassed at the press

conference.”

Cherise’s figure froze slightly.

“…”

“You don’t have to say anything.”

Damien caressed her head. “I’ve known him for so many years. You don’t have to be so polite and

courteous.”

Cherise nodded. She slowly walked into the restaurant as Damien hugged her.

Lucy stood on her spot and watched Lennon’s figure as he walked in..

She didn’t know why, but she felt that… Lennon wasn’t as optimistic and cheerful as he seemed on the

surface.

His figure was so lonely and sorrowful. She could feel that he wasn’t happy.

Was it… because Old Mr. Belcourt had appeared and brought up his painful memories?

“Lucy?”

Upon seeing Lucy still lost in thought at her initial spot, Cherise broke free from Damien’s arms. and

dashed to Lucy’s side. Cherise pulled Lucy into the restaurant. “Why are you lost in thought?”

At this time, Lucy returned to her senses and entered the restaurant with Cherise.

The restaurant’s lobby was splendid.

An urgent matter popped up at the company, so Damien went away to answer the phone as soon as he

entered.

As for Lennon, he hadn’t been to the restaurant in a long time. The boss dragged him upstairs to talk

about the restaurant’s performance as soon as he walked in.

Before leaving, Lennon instructed the manager to lead Cherise and Lucy to a private room to

wait.
