She smiled softly, squatting down to observe the little boy before her.

With his round face and distinct features, he radiated with childhood innocence. His dark eyes, framed by long, curly lashes, held a clarity and purity that captivated her.

Lucy gazed at the little boy before her, resembling a porcelain doll with his innocent features, evoking a gentle smile on her lips.

Upon her return, she unexpectedly bumped into Lucy.

She blinked at Lucy, a flicker of recognition dancing in her eyes, though she couldn't quite place it.

Instead, she exchanged only brief greetings, “Cherise,” before briskly walking towards the parking lot.

Cherise watched Lucy's departure, struggling to regain her composure.

“Lucy!

As she finally matched the woman's face with the photo she had seen in the study .Lucy had already driven off, leaving Cherise feeling helpless.

She sighed and retrieved her school bag, returning to the villa with a dejected expression.

“Wasn't that Lucy just now?” Cherise asked Damien cautiously, pursing her lips.

“Yes,” Damien confirmed.

Cherise’s confusion deepened. “But isn’t she supposed to be my good friend? Why did she just greet me and leave?” “She came here to see me, didn’t she?” “No.” Damien offered Cherise a small bottle from the coffee table with a faint smile. “Take this,” he said.
