NovelEnglishChapter 285 The Dilemma
“Lucy and her father are close. If Mr. Staber dislikes you, your relationship with Lucy is over!”
Rodney was taken by surprise. He did not expect the usually absent-minded Cherise to understand the
situation so well.
He pursed his lips. “Sure, I’ll wait for your news,”
After hanging up, Cherise got out of bed and went to the bathroom. She pondered on the matter as she
washed her face.
If I’m not mistaken, I drank with Lucy last night.
Lucy drank a lot. I did the same, too.
I don’t remember how I got back.
Cherise looked down at her nicely buttoned pajamas.
Could Damien have carried me home last night?
Who else is patient enough to help me change into my pajamas?
She was warmed by the thought and headed to the study.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe morning light shone in from the window behind Damien, surrounding him with a golden
halo.
He sat down comfortably, reading a document.
When Cherise opened the door, he looked up with deep-set and unfathomable eyes. However, those
eyes immediately crinkled with delight the instant he recognized Cherise.
“You’re awake.”
His voice was deep and charming.
Cherise pursed her lips and nodded. “Yes, I’m awake.”
“Did you bring me home last night?”
Damien nodded and waved his hand. “Come here.”
Cherise approached him tentatively and sat on his lap.
Damien embraced her and kissed her cheek. “Of course, it was me. Who else would bring you
home?”

Cherise pursed her lips again. “Where is Lucy? Last night…”
Rodney said the man who answered Lucy’s phone sounded young. He can’t be Mr. Staber.
Furthermore, he was annoyed when Rodey called him Mr. Staber and hung up immediately.
I don’t dare to call Mr. Staber yet.
What if…
That was why Cherise came to the study. She wanted to ask Damien about what happened last night.
“You were already lying on the couch when I arrived.” Damien gently smoothed the messy strands near
her temple. He kissed her cheek softly. “But the manager at New World Restaurant said Lennon had
carried Lucy off.”
I knew it.
Cherise frowned. “I knew it was him.”
Lucy got herself drunk because he rejected her love confession. How dare he then show up and carry
her off?
He even refused to answer my call. He has no right to get angry about Rodney mistaking him for Mr.
Staber.
He deserves it!

“He didn’t bring her home. Where are they now?“
Damien calmly kissed her cheek. “That’s between them. We better not get involved.”
Cherise shook her head. “It’s not that I want to get involved, but Lucy’s boyfriend called me. He’s
looking for her.”
Damien chuckled. “I thought Lucy had always been single?”
“They just got together a few days ago.”
Cherise sighed. She told Damien about Lennon’s rejection of Lucy’s love confession and how Lucy got
together with Rodney.
“Rodney is waiting for me to update him about Lucy.”

Cherie frowned and continued, “I can’t tell him that Lucy is now with another man.”
“Since he’s Lucy’s boyfriend, it’s understandable that he wants to know where she is!”
“That’s true.”
