Chapter 63 Grandma’s Approval
“Great!” Lucy patted Cherise on the shoulder.
“I thought your husband had a lot of health issues and that it might’ve compromised his manly
prowess!”
It seemed like she was overly concerned!
Cherise was going to respond when a dark shadow came over her.
She raised her head.
Standing before her was lan, dressed in white, looking at her with a pale face.
“Ian? What are you doing here?” Her eyes widened with surprise at his unexpected presence.
Ian noticed the tinge of redness on her cheeks, and the girls’ voice echoed in his head.
Health issues and it might’ve compromised his manly prowess!
…A different breed in bed…
Ian’s soul quickly left his eyes.
He responded with a hoarse voice. “Lila said you didn’t go to work yesterday, and she couldn’t reach Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
you on the phone, so I came over to check on you.”
At this point, lan thought he had been a little ridiculous.
He was terrified that something had happened to Cherise when he got Lila’s call. Worried sick, he put
down everything and rushed to school while ringing her multiple times.
But in the end, when he finally got a hold of her, he was greeted by a thrilling story about. what
happened between her and her husband.
“Ahh….”
Cherise rubbed her head, seemingly upset at herself. “I forgot about the job at the sanatorium!”
Following that, she removed Lucy’s hand from her shoulder and was prepared to head to
work.
Lucy grabbed her arm with a frown. “Why are you still working at that crappy place?”
“I thought all your problems had already been resolved!”
Grandma Mary had met Damien. Not only was she happy with him, but she also suggested Cherise to
conceive a child quickly.
Now that Grandma was no longer a concern, Cherise did not have to be worried about Aunt Eriana’s
threats, not to mention covering Cousin Nick’s medical expenses.
Freed from financial burdens, Cherise did not have a reason to work at the sanatorium. anymore.
But she responded with a beaming smile, eyes filled with a resolute glint. “I must finish. what I started.
It has hardly been a few days into the job; even if I were to quit, it’s only fair if I last for a week.”
Lucy rolled at eyes. “Whatever.”
“If Damien Lenoir ever finds out that you’re serving other men, he’s going to be upset.”
“Nah, he won’t!”
At the mention of Damien, Cherise smiled from ear to ear. “My husband isn’t that petty.”
“He’ll support my decision!”
Her voice was filled with affirmation and a tinge of coyness, but while Cherise was indulging in loving
emotions, Ian was clenching his fists silently.
Damien Lenoir, is that his husband’s name?
What a stupid name, straight out of the 60s, just like himself.
Lucy knew Cherise well enough to understand that once she had made up her mind, there was no
going back.
She furrowed her brow. “Go then…”
“Just have a think about quitting the job today.”
“Okay.”
Cherise bade her farewell and turned around to look at lan apologetically. “I’m sorry, Ian.”
“I had something to take care of yesterday and forgot about the job.”
Ian stared at her face, flushed with color from the sun’s embrace. “What’s keeping you so
busy?” He uttered with a frown.
“Urm…”
Cherise hesitated and chuckled. “I took my husband to meet my grandmother.”
Ian’s posture subtly stiffened, and he managed a forced smile. “Does she like him?”
“She rather fancies him.”
Cherise walked towards the exit with graceful steps. “I used to be worried that Grandma might not take
to him, fearing that the news of my marriage would distress her, perhaps. even make her ill.”
Her smile, now as bright as the sun that surrounded them, exuded a sense of warmth. “But to my
surprise, Grandma has grown quite fond of him.”
