Chapter 544 Perhaps This Is Fate
“Damien.”
Maeve weakly leaned against the headboard, her voice barely louder than a whisper.
“Hmm.”
Only then did Damien look up, locking his phone screen.
Soren hadn’t messaged him a single word since they made a bet.
Damien also wisely refrained from sending any more messages to him.
Yet, even though they weren’t communicating, scrolling through their chat records brought Damien al sense of happiness.
He could almost see Soren’s expressions and the mischievous glint in his eyes as he read those words.
Soren was a miniature version of Damien, his mirror image.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe boy was his flesh and blood and an unexpected blessing.
Knowing this kept Damien awake all night.
He even called Frances in the middle of the night, asking her to prepare two children’s rooms at home in his absence.
One of the rooms was for his son. Damien instructed that it be painted light blue and filled with action- packed cartoons and toys that boys love.
The other room was for his daughter. It would be in pink and adorned with plush toys and pretty dresses that girls would adore.
Even though he hadn’t officially acknowledged the children, the mere thought of them filled his eyes with radiant joy.
“Look at how happy you are. Does it mean Cherise didn’t reject you?”
Maeve rested her body against the headboard and smiled as she looked at Damien. “If Cherise is willing to give you a chance, don’t hesitate to win her back.”
“She hasn’t given me a chance yet.”
Damien snapped back to reality. His eyes sparkled with excitement as he looked at Maeve. “I’ll strive to win her over even if she doesn’t give me a chance.”
“Sis, if Cherise and I got back together, would you still stand in our way?”
Maeve shook her head.
“If you manage to win Cherise back, not only will I not stand in your way, but I will also bless and apologize to you both.”
“I… was too presumptuous back then.”

1/2
Maeve was only eighteen when a fire completely altered her life.
In the aftermath, she concealed herself in the shadows and hid within the Wool family to recover.
Having experienced the harshest loss and the deepest pain, she had lost faith in all relationships other than familial bonds.
Love, she thought, was nothing more than an exchange of interests. She held this belief for a long time.
Thus, she always suspected Cherise of having ulterior motives. Even after it was revealed that she was the heir of the Tanner and Miles family, Maeve still doubted that Cherise genuinely cared for Damien.
She thought that since Cherise had attained a high status, she would inevitably lose interest in Damien and leave him.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDue to this, Maeve had always harbored prejudice against Cherise.
Later, the animosity between their families made it impossible for Maeve to accept Cherise.
However, when Cherise left, Damien fell into despair.
He even nearly killed himself in a fire in his office one night around five years ago.
As Damien’s closest family member, Maeve began questioning whether she had made a mistake.
Why did Damien Lenoir become a shell of his former self after losing Cherise?
Later, she met Charles.
Charles’ care and affection allowed her to experience love beyond familial bonds.
It also helped her realize that Cherise and Damien’s love might also be selfless and pure.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Cherise and Damien had been separated for so long that their relationship seemed irreparable.
But thankfully, Charles accidentally found Cherise when Maeve was at the hospital giving birth.
Perhaps this is fate…..
