Chapter 578 Be Good
Cherise snapped back to reality only after the man took the pierogis from her. “Do you live here?”
“Yes.”
The man yawned and gestured for her to come inside. “Let’s talk inside. It might get noisy if we talk in the hallway, and it could disturb the children.”
Cherise furrowed her brows and cautiously stepped inside.
To her surprise, the interior decoration didn’t match Damien’s typical minimalist style.
Instead…
There were pink rabbits and light blue dolphins.
The room was decorated in an adorable, childlike manner.
She frowned and took a seat on the sofa with a stern expression. “Is this how you enticed Serafina?”
“Essentially.”
The man took a set of cutlery from the kitchen and began to eat the pierogis elegantly on the sofa.
After eating two pierogis, he looked up at Cherise. “Do you have sour cream and mustard?”
“They taste a bit bland.”
Cherise pursed her lips.
These pierogis were made with the leftover filling she had prepared for the children a few days ago.
Cherise liked to keep her children’s food as organic as possible.
The woman sighed and rose to walk towards the kitchen.
“I don’t have anything here.”
Damien smiled faintly. “Do you have any at your place?”
Cherise rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to leave.
But…
She glanced at the strawberries on the coffee table.
The strawberries were large and a deep red. They must have been expensive, right?
When she thought about how Serafina had eaten so many strawberries….
She sighed in resignation, turned around, and left. “Hold on.”
Damien lounged on the sofa and watched the woman leave. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips. “Alright.”

When Cherise returned home, she prepared sour cream and mustard according to Damien’s previolls preferences and walked back.
As she reached Damien’s house, she heard his phone ring.
The man set his utensils down gracefully and reached out to answer his phone.
“Yes, it’s me.”
Cherise heard the man’s gentle voice through the door and abruptly halted in her tracks.
“I won’t be able to come back for a few days.”
The man took a deep breath and frowned. A hint of impatience flickered in his eyes. “I’ve already told you I’ll be back a bit later.”
“Don’t let your imagination run wild.”
“What happens between me and my ex-wife won’t affect our relationship.”
“Be good and don’t overthink anything. You should be sleeping at this time.”
“Yes, be good.”
Cherise stood frozen in her spot. She was so alarmed as she listened to Damien’s tender voice that she couldn’t speak.
This voice, this tone, this volume…
She had only ever heard Damien speak to her in this manner.
But now, he spoke affectionately to the person on the other end of the phone through the door.
The woman’s thin lips pursed tightly.
She recalled what Lucy had told her three years ago. “Damien met someone who pursued him the first year after you
left. A year after that, he even went on a blind date. He recently went on another date with his previous blind date’s sister. It’s absolutely true!
Cherise had already lost interest in Damien then, so she didn’t take it seriously. She had responded to Lucy gently. “Damien is a free man after we divorced and can be with whoever he likes. It has nothing to do with either of us. You don’t have to feel so upset.”
Cherise pursed her lips as she reflected on what she had said then. Her heart tightened abruptly.
Inside the room, Damien had already ended the call. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The man put his phone down. He looked up indifferently and saw the woman outside the door. “Come in.”
