I took the bag from her. Although the appearance of the fruits and veggies wasn’t as appealing as those sold at the market, they were fresh and clean. I didn’t mind at all. In fact, I admired her and Ariel dad for being self-sufficient- one working as a housekeeper and the other growing their own food. "Thanks, Cherry. You didn’t know about this, it’s not your fault. Don’t sweat it," I replied softly. "Ah, I know you’re kind-hearted. Your brother is quite impulsive, always stirring up trouble. This ti is no different. All I can do is apologize on his behalf. Can’t really help with much else," Cherry sighed. She didn’t seem to know about Damon and Ariel, otherwise, she wouldn’t just ntion her brother. After chatting with Cherry for a while, I wanted to invite her to stay for dinner, but she declined. Before she left, I casually asked, "Cherry, do you know any young girls in their early twenties? I have a friend, and he’s a nice guy, just can’t seem to find a girlfriend. He asked to introduce him to soone, but I don’t know anyone." "If you don’t have a suitable person, let alone ." Cherry waved her hand dismissively. "Doesn’t your daughter go to college? She must have lots of friends, all young and vibrant. If she doesn’t have a boyfriend, I’d actually like to introduce her to my friend, he’s really a great guy," I said with a hint of regret. Cherry wanted to say sothing, and after a few seconds of silence, she shook her head and said, "My daughter just broke up with her boyfriend, but apparently soone is pursuing her. She won’t tell us who." Ariel actually shared so information with her family? I was surprised. With her being such a well- behaved daughter, wasn’t she afraid of making her parents furious? Did she confront her family or did Damon forcefully show up in front of her parents in my past life? I was not sure. I was intrigued and asked again, "Really? Your daughter must be exceptional. The guy who’s chasing her must be decent. Don’t worry too much." "How can I not worry? Once you have your own children, you’ll understand. Parents always worry about their children, especially daughters. I’m afraid she’ll choose the wrong person," Cherry’s worried expression made laugh.
Cherry was taken aback and didn’t know what I was laughing at and just stared at . I quickly covered it up, "I was just laughing at how you’re overthinking. Like a mother, like a daughter. You’re a person of integrity and kindness, and your daughter will naturally be the sa. Birds of a feather flock together, and the man she’s interested in must be exceptional too." I complinted Cherry, but what Ariel will do in the future might make her question whether Ariel is really her daughter. In fact, I was really laughing at Cherry’s overthinking. What did it matter if her daughter dated the wrong person? What was the use of objecting? In the end, Damon’s combination of wealth and sincerity won out. I believe money played a big part. If it were an ordinary married man, who wanted to divorce for Ariel, her parents would highly strongly disapprove. "You are flattering ." Cherry was a little embarrassed. "By the way, I always hear about your daughter from you. I’m curious about what kind of girl she is. Can I see a picture of her?" I asked, pretending to be curious. Cherry took out her phone, flipped to a family photo and showed . After one glance, I expressed my astonishnt, "Cherry, so your daughter is Ariel!" Cherry was also surprised, "You know my daughter?" She had never told her daughter’s na before. I nodded, "Yes, I t her when she was working at the coffee shop. Then I accidentally bumped into her boyfriend and saw her again at the hospital. One thing led to another and we all got to know each other." "What a coincidence, I guess it is fate." Cherry was delighted and smiled brightly, "It’s Ariel’s good fortune to know a friend like you." "Cherry, I’ll invite you and Ariel to have a al together next ti." I said enthusiastically. "We can’t let you pay. If you don’t mind, co to our house for a ho-cooked al next ti." Cherry responded. "Okay, I’ll go mooching in a few days, Cherry, don’t mind if I do." I couldn’t wait to visit their ho. That would be Damon’s future parents-in-law’s house. Cherry gladly agreed. So far I could tell that she really liked . After Cherry left, my smile also faded. I felt like I was living in a dream. I stayed at ho all day because Damon had told to rest at ho for the rest of the year and return to work after the New Year. I would still get paid even though I wasn’t working. I wasn’t short of money, but I was touched that he was willing to give this privilege. In the evening, it started to snow outside. The snowflakes were big and fell lightly, covering everything in a layer of white. It felt like a winter wonderland. Damon ca in, dusted off the snow from his coat, and a housemaid imdiately took it away. He changed into his slippers and ca to sit beside . The mont he sat down, I caught a whiff of a familiar perfu scent. When I went on vacation, I brought back a bottle of perfu for each of them, including Cherry. I could occasionally sll it on other housemaids, so it was sowhat familiar. Normally, Damon didn’t use perfu and didn’t care about these things, so he didn’t notice that his scent was different. I knew he must have just co back from Ariel’s place. Cherry probably gave the perfu to her daughter. Did Cherry not tell Ariel that the perfu was from ? She didn’t mind using it? She even sprayed it on before eting Damon. "Is dinner not ready yet?" Damon glanced at the dining room. "Almost, why didn’t you eat outside?" I held my bowl of soup, blowing gently on it before asking. Whether Damon was socializing or eating ho-cooked als with Ariel, it would have been more normal than coming ho for dinner.
Damon glanced at , his eyes revealing no emotion, "Didn’t want to eat outside." "I see." I nodded, scooped up a spoonful of soup and slurped it, not very elegantly. Damon seed to be watching , but when I looked at him, he would lower his head to look at his phone. After a while, the maid told dinner was ready. I slowly made my way to the dining room, Damon sat across from and we ate in silence. "Are you going out again tonight?" I broke the silence after dinner. "No, why?"Damon raised his gaze and glanced at . "Co on, help build a snowman." I said to him with a cheeky grin. "Your mom’s birthday is coming up. If you help with this, I’ll go ho with you and put on a show to make her happy." A frown crossed Damon’s face. "Eliana, where did you learn to threaten people all the ti?" I muttered to myself, ’Who else but you taught this?’ In my past life, Damon used every trick in the book to divorce . Now look who was talking. But I kept my cool on the surface. "Is that sothing that needs to be learned? Just tell , are you in or out?" This was one of my obsessions. I had once seen a snowman that Damon and Ariel built together on Jones’s phone. I could imagine them playing and laughing in the snow, so romantic and sweet. Of course, that was in my past life. Now, I had to beat Ariel to the punch. Even if we ended up getting a divorce, I’d feel satisfied in my heart.
