Chapter 752 They’re Grateful to You
Lyra’s courageous affection touched Cherise, but she could not ignore the gravity of the situation. As Zachary’s
friend, she was reluctant to see Lyra sacrifice her future for him.
“But she is determined to be with Zachary.” Damien looked ahead. His voice was steady and unwavering. “Do you
know why I agreed to help her?”
Cherise shook her head.
“It’s because she reminded me of you.”
Cherise clutched her phone and paused momentarily.
She reminded him of me?
“She seems like you from five years ago.”
Damien smiled as he recalled how they got married five years prior.

to marry you, care for you for a lifetime, and bear your children. I’ll never regret it for a moment!”
Seeing Cherise’s puzzled expression, Damien sighed. “Five years ago, did you ever consider you might regret
marrying a disabled man?”
Cherise immediately shook her head. She had never thought about it.
At that time, everyone told her that he was blind and confined to a wheelchair due to disability in both legs.
However, she had fallen in love with him at first sight and did not care about such things.
Thinking about this, Cherise quietly pursed her lips. I understand now.”
Only the person in the relationship understood what constituted happiness. Others’ so-called ‘for your own good’
advice were futile.
Since Lyra resolved to marry Zachary, the best she could do as Zachary’s friend was to persuade the members of
the Miles family with Damien and convince them to allow the wedding to proceed.
Cherise sighed upon realizing this. “Doesn’t that mean I must take another leave to go to Miles Manor in Ziphon?”
Since coming to Adania, she had only worked for a day and had been on leave since. She worried what people at
work would think now that she had to extend her leave.
The following day, Cherise nervously requested leave from the institute.
“It’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” To her surprise, Mr. Whitlock, her supervisor, was very understanding. “Cherise, feel
free to extend your leave if you have matters to attend to. Just make sure to submit your papers punctually every
month.”
Mr. Whitlock continued, “By the way, I’ve submitted your last paper to a professional journal. I believe it will be
published soon! This is our research institute’s first paper in an international journal. You are truly

resent me for being on leave for so long
Cherise sensed her colleagues scrutinizing her ever since the joined the institute. Their curious and probing looks
made her uncomfortable However, this was not her first time being subjected to such
attention
“No, not at all” Mr. Whitlock dismissed her concerns with a wave of his hand. He smiled and continued. “They re
grateful to you!
“Grateful”” Cherise furrowed her broWŁ
I have only worked for a day before taking half a month off. Surely, my colleagues would be annoyed and envious.
Home could they be thankful
Seeing Cherise’s puzzled expression, Mr. Whitlock chuckled and patted her shoulder. It seems you’re unaware. Your
fiancé, Damien, sent invitations and gifts to every staff member in the institute early this morning. He is hosting a
dinner and karaoke session on your behalf and has invited everyone to New World Restaurant tonight!”
Mr. Whitlock’s eyes sparkled as he continued, “New World Restaurant has many of Adania’s top chefs. It’s a place
that ordinary people wouldn’t even dare to dream of going to. Mr. Lenoir is truly generous. He invited everyone
from the institute.”
