Chapter 923
Chapter 923 There Was a Man
“This includes Damien, your father, and all your family and friends. Do you know how much the shares I gave
Damien are worth?” The man’s hand stroked her face gently. “One billion. Even the dumbest person wouldn't
casually give away something worth one billion. Still, I gave all of that to Damien because his woman begged me
to sleep with her.”
At that moment, Cherise couldn't remember who that man was, but she remembered how she felt then. She had
shuddered as she felt fear, despair, and helplessness. The emotions in her mind made her body tremble
unconsciously again.
Upon seeing the woman shiver uncontrollably, Damien’s heart utterly ached. “It's okay. You're safe.” He
extended his arms and embraced her. “It’s in the past. I won't cook anything else if you don’t like my cooking.
You don’t have to look at anything you don’t like.”
“Cherise...” At the side, Frances couldn't help but turn away and wipe her tears when she witnessed this scene.
She had been serving Damien closely in Lenoir Manor all his life since his parents passed away when he was
eight years old.
Having served Damien for over two decades, this was her first tseeing Damien behave so humbly. The man
was always aloof and arrogant in front of others, even when he lost his loved ones in a big fire. He had never
acted like this.
At this moment, Damien held Cherise like a child holding onto a fragile doll. He spoke every word meekly and
was hesitant in his actions. The man’s voice made Frances shed tears and pained Cherise. Cherise’s heart
stirred.
She didn’t even know what was upsetting her. Finally, a tear fell from the corner of her eye. She looked up at
Damien. “There was a man.” She took a deep breath, trying to organize her thoughts. “He cover and told
“He said no one will believe me. He also toldto obey him and that he’s the only one who can protectin
the future.” As she spoke, she pursed her lips and looked up at Damien with a clear gaze. “I'm scared of him.”
It took Damien a long tto coax Cherise to sleep.
“Dad.” Soren leaned against the door, looking at Damien’s back. “Mom really... doesn’t recognize you or us
anymore, does she?” Damien composed himself before turning to look at his son. “Mm. But the doctor said this
is temporary. Her memory will recover soon.”
“Mom was never with anyone else.” Soren pursed his lips. He walked to Damien cautiously and looked into his
eyes. “When we were in Lermille, many people pursued Mom, but she rejected them all. Mom is a very righteous
person. You must believe in her.”
The boy’s childish voice made Damien smile helplessly. “I know.” He crouched down and raised his hand to
stroke Soren’s head. “No one trusts her more than I do.”
“So...” Soren pursed her lips, “You'll protect Mom, right?”
“Yes. Withby her side, you don’t have to worry.” The man smiled faintly and hugged Soren. “You're a man
now. You shouldn't panic or be afraid at this time. Before she recovers, you must take good care
