Chapter 164 Garden Mishap
Suddenly, Cherise was brimming with newfound energy, unsure how to channel it.
She left the bedroom and heard the faint voices of Damien and Mr. Hampson drift from the study. It
seemed like a mountain of work was demanding their attention at the
company.
Cherise didn’t want to interrupt, and with time on her hands, she decided to head downstairs and seek
out Frances.

significant role. Formerly in charge of the kitchen, she now held a position second only to Mr.
Hampson, assisting in various villa tasks.

importance of respecting each servant’s designated tasks. She knew she couldn’t simply do as she
pleased without the risk of upsetting the household staff.

out there, and the flowers and grass in the garden have wilted.”
“Coincidentally, the gardeners are on leave and aren’t around. Would you like to water the garden?”
Cherise’s eyes lit up with excitement. She loved playing with water!
She asked Frances for the rain boots, proper gardening attire, and tools the gardeners. usually used.
Then, she energetically headed out to the yard to water the plants.

sunlight with a hose in her hand, tending to the flowers. A smile unconsciously formed on her lips.
“Youth is such a wonderful thing, isn’t it?”

cast whimsical rainbows. Cherise worked diligently, unaware that just outside. the villa’s gate, a black
Porsche Cayenne had parked, and a man had stepped out of the

ones? Until then, Lennon had only encountered older folks and children on his buddy’s property. It was

Before Lennon could react, he found himself drenched.
Upon hearing the commotion behind her, Cherise snapped back to reality. She was taken, aback, her
eyes widening. Did somebody come into the garden without her noticing? But it wasn’t the time to dwell
on that!
“Turn off the water!” She hollered back toward the villa and hurried over to Lennon. “Are you alright?”

them.”
