Chapter 315 Children

Damien chuckled, hugging her petite frame tightly. “In any case, she’s not a biological

sister.”

“Of course, this is just a whim for now, but if it feels right…”

“Given her history, we should take it slowly. If every word she says is true and she has no ulterior

motives, we can have her legally become a part of our family, you and me.”

Cherise hesitated, a bit perplexed. “Can we really do that? I thought only our children

would be…”

The man’s hand gently shifted towards her lower abdomen as he spoke. “I remember generously

donating my ‘little swimmers’ to the cause.”

“If

pregnancy doesn’t occur, how about we schedule another extensive round of lovemaking and planting

seeds in a few days?”

The warmth from his palm nearly scorched her skin.

She hesitated for a moment, a sudden flashback to her bedridden days from a few days.

ago.

Cherise’s complexion altered in an instant. “No… that’s not happening…”

“Well, your say doesn’t matter.” Damien playfully chuckled and pulled her closer.

In the shadows of the night, the man’s smile gradually turned bittersweet.

Damien had always wanted Mandy to open up and share information about her background, hoping it

would provide a lead to replace Danielle. However, she had always been elusive, skillfully avoiding his

questions.

He initially thought Mandy was deliberately concealing information. But now he understood she might

have been too frightened to speak up.

Tonight, to his surprise, Mandy revealed more than he had anticipated.

If it weren’t for Cherise by his side, he wouldn’t know how to handle this onslaught of information by

himself.

In the early hours, Anissa started to call each person one by one, organizing them for a mountain

photoshoot excursion.

When Cherise groggily descended the stairs, the entire group had gathered in the living

room.

Lucy, her face concealed under a duckbill cap, sat somberly in one corner beside Lennon, both bearing

visible injuries.

Jacob and Damien, on the other hand, were casually having their breakfast and engaged in

conversation on the couch.

Across from them, Mandy was lounging comfortably, casting a tender gaze at Rodney. “I owe you big

time for this; I would have been starving by now.”

Rodney balanced a bowl of cereal soaked in creamy milk in one hand and a spoon in the other,

playfully feeding Cherise. “What are you talking about? We’re all classmates; helping out is just what

we do.”

Lucy’s expression darkened even more while Lennon let out a chuckle.

Chérise came down the stairs, and Mandy greeted her with a mischievous smile. “Oops, that milk was

boiling hot!”

“Really?” Rodney teased, blowing on the spoon before offering it. “How about now?”

Jacob, sipping his tea, interjected casually, “Hey, Lulu, your boyfriend’s quite the charmer. Aren’t you

going to do something about it?”

Lucy shot Rodney a frustrated look without saying a word.

Lennon couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as he glanced briefly at Mandy. “Mandy, can’t you eat by

yourself?”

Mandy, still looking frail, leaned against the couch. “I’m not feeling great. Remember the fire incident

last night?”

Then, she cast a warm look at Rodney. “God knows how grateful I am for you, Rodney.”

“These people like to make fun of me, but you’re the only one who genuinely cares for

me.”

Cherise was left speechless.

Rodney blushed but shook his head. “No need for the praise; I’m just doing what’s right.”

With a frosty expression, Lucy abruptly got up, slammed the door, and left.

Mandy grinned with satisfaction and winked at Cherise.

Cherise couldn’t help but shiver as she followed Lucy outside.

“How annoying! Urgh!” Lucy sat on a large rock outside the villa, angrily picking up stones.

from the ground and tossing them into the river.
