Cherise shook her head. She pushed him to the elevator and said earnestly, “We can be intimate at home. We don’t have to do this…”
“For example?”
“Like on the couch, and… in bed, and…”
The man scratched his lips indifferently. “You can be on top too.”
Cherise was dumbstruck.
Perhaps it was easier to feel sleepy on a full stomach. On the way to Lenoir Manor from Garden Paradise, Cherise leaned back in the genuine leather seat and fell asleep in a daze.
A sharp ringtone awoke her from her dreams after some time.
She reached out for her cell phone, half–conscious, and answered. “Hello…”
“Chérise, it’s Aunt Eriana.”
Eriana’s insincere voice rang on the other end. “I’m in Adania Hospital now. Your cousin got into a fight and is severely injured. I didn’t bring any money. Can you…”
“No.”
Cherise took a deep breath, and her voice instantly hardened. She said coldly, “Aunt Eriana, you should know I’m still studying and don’t have much money.”
On the other end, Eriana laughed. “I know you don’t have much money, but aren’t you married now?”
“The blind man at home… No, your husband…”
“His money belongs to him. It’s not mine.”
Cherise was wide awake from the woman’s voice on the other end of the phone. She crawled out of bed and realized she was lying in the large bed in her and Damien’s room.
Did I fall asleep and sleepwalk back to the bedroom?
“Cherise?”
Eriana spoke for a long time on the other end of the phone and shouted in displeasure when she was greeted with silence. “Cherise, I don’t often call you or ask for help, but you’re acting like this?”
“Shouldn’t family members help each other? We helped you a lot back when you were in the countryside. right?
Cherise’s heart gradually turned cold as she held her cell phone.
It would have been better for Eriana not to mention what had happened in the past because Chense Couldn’t muster any sympathy for her when she did.

When Cherise was in school, she wanted to help her uncle and aunt save money, so she ran to Eriana’s house to borrow Nicky’s old textbooks. In the end, Eriana had shamed her, and she had helped to do a week’s worth of farm work before Eriana was willing to lend her Nicky’s old textbooks.
She remembered how Eriana had shamed her back then. Still, Eriana was now saying that family members should help each other?
Cherise held her breath and hung up,
But how could Eriana be prepared to let it go?
Eriana called her multiple times, disturbing Cherise so much that she was no longer feeling sleepy.
She turned her cell phone off and went downstairs to make herself a glass of warm milk.
While heating the milk, she thought Damien might still be awake, so she made him a glass.
Three minutes later, she carried two glasses of milk upstairs with a tray. She heard Blake and Damien’s conversation inside when she passed the study room.
“You’ve improved a lot, but you’re not using enough strength. Did you see clearly the darts I threw today?”
Blake’s voice was still stifled as usual. “No. It was too quick.”
“Of course, it has to be quick. Otherwise, others will see you making a move. Then, how can you catch them off guard?”
“I’ll work harder.”
Cherise was confused when she heard it as she carried the milk.
She didn’t expect Blake to be around, so she had only prepared two glasses for herself and Damien.
As she pondered if she should make another glass, Mr. Kolson’s voice rang from behind. “Mrs. Lenoir.”
The sudden voice made Cherise lose her balance slightly. She almost spilled the milk.
