NovelEnglishChapter 717 Five Years Ago
Cherise was destined to become an unapproachable eccentric at the institute. Few could stand a
colleague with such an attractive, passionate, and affluent suitor….
Cherise sighed in resignation and helplessly made her way towards the entrance. There was no other
alternative.
She had chosen Damien as her partner. She had also expressed her fondness for his roses. Therefore,
she couldn’t fault him. She could only blame herself for her poor taste and lousy communication skills!
When Cherise reached the main entrance, the grand procession of roses had already arrived. Almost
all the female employees of the institute had gathered at the door and harbored the same thought.
What if this is for me?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEven if they weren’t the intended recipient, they were content to take a photo with such a grand
spectacle of trucks delivering roses!
A female employee near Cherise even began to engage her in conversation. “Dr. Shaw, are you still
single?”
Cherise pursed her lips and carefully chose her words with a frown. “My children are five years old.”
“Oh, I see. The female colleague sighed with a hint of disappointment. “I thought someone had
arranged this grand procession of cars on your first day at work to declare their love for you. She
looked at Cherise slightly regretfully. “Since your children are five, you and your husband must have
been married for a long time, right? When was the last time he showed you any romantic gesture?”
Cherise pursed her lips and pondered with furrowed brows. “It must have been five years ago.”
“Five years ago…” Her female colleague covered her mouth in surprise. “Your children are five years
old, and he last showed you a romantic gesture five years ago… Oh dear. Men really do become
unreliable after marriage!”
Cherise watched as the extended Lincoln in the distance came to a halt. A man in custom-made
leather shoes stepped out elegantly. “Yes. He is indeed quite unreliable.”
He always presented her with ‘surprises’ that caught her completely off guard.
“Thankfully, I’m still single. Cherise’s female colleague sighed lightly. “So I still have options…”
“Wow! It’s Damien Lenoir!” A chorus of exclamations erupted among the surrounding female
colleagues. “Damien!”
As it turned out, the man who could afford to buy all the roses in the city was Damien Lenoir, a man
that all women in Adania yearned for!
“Dr. Shaw, you’ve just arrived in Adania and might not understand why everyone is so excited.” The
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfemale colleague who had just been chatting with Cherise was also very enthusiastic. “It’s because this
man named Damien Lenoir… is a man that all women in Adania dream of marrying, regardless of how
old they are!”
Cherise instinctively stepped back when she saw the man in the distance step out of the car with roses,
his dark eyes scanning the crowd. She continued the conversation with her colleague. “Are you
serious?”
All women want to marry him, regardless of how old they are?
Cherise’s female colleague nodded earnestly. “Dr. Shaw, you haven’t been in Adania for long. Once
you’ve been here longer, you’ll understand how irresistible Damien is!” She couldn’t help but sigh. “His
ex-wife is so ruthless. He’s been searching for her for five years, and she hasn’t returned.”
“But it seems that Damien has finally come to his senses and shifted his affections to a woman in our
institute.” The woman clasped her hands together and started to daydream again. “I met Damien at a
banquet not long ago. I wonder if he still remembers me…”
Upon listening to her colleague’s words, the veins on Cherise’s forehead twitched incessantly.
