Chapter 161 A Dream
He even asked about the age of the elderly lady in Cherise’s story!
Frances and Mr. Kolson were taken aback. This was unlike Damien!
Normally, he was so distant that he couldn’t even be bothered to listen to Tristan’s romantic escapades.
Now, he was quietly listening to Cherise talk about the everyday lives.
of the rural folks!
Love, indeed, had a way of making people throw caution to the wind…
Cherise lay her head on Damien’s lap and kept talking until she drifted asleep.
Damien gently lowered his head, running his fingers through her dark, silky hair, a subtle smile gracing
his face. He glanced at Mr. Hampson, who was half-dozing behind him, and said, “Condense my
schedule and free up a week.”
Mr. Hampson snapped back to attention and furrowed his brows as he looked at Damien. “Mr. Lenoir,
are you… planning to accompany Mrs. to the countryside?”

noticing sooner.
Mr. Hampson furrowed his brows. “But, this is such a critical time. After signing the agreement with

in a coma in the ICU, and Lennon rushed back from abroad in great distress, would it be convincing for
his return?”
Mr. Hampson was at a loss for words.
No worries, Mr. Hampson Damien said.
He lifted Cherise gently into his arms. “It’s settled then.”
Mr. Hampson hesitated and then said, “Very well. I’ll inform Mr. Belcourt and the family.”
As Damien carried Cherise upstairs, he realized a loophole in their plan. He turned to Damien and said,
“But, Ms. Belcourt is perfectly healthy. If word gets out that she’s in a coma, she’ll be isolated and
unable to interact with anyone…

stairs. “She will.”
“Tell her it’s the consequence of her attempts to cause discord.”
Meanwhile, Cherise had a long dream.
In her dream, she led Damien to an old countryside mansion, where a wise, white- bearded man

affectionate kisses.
Blushing, she playfully scolded him, saying, “Alright, honey, that’s enough kissing…”
“Alright, no more kissing”
From a distance, a deep, amused laughter seemed to resonate…

She blinked in surprise. It had all been a dream.
