Chapter 1167

Spilling the Beans

“I’m afraid you won’t have that opportunity,” Damien’s deep voice remained calm and composed. “I won’t give you that opportunity, nor will I argue with her.”

“Oh, really?” Lucy raised an eyebrow. “What if I told you Cherise used to speak ill of you in front of me? Back in Lermille, when people asked where the father of her children went, she said…”

“Honey, your phone was turned off all last night. You must have a bunch of missed calls.” Before Lucy could finish, Cherise cut her off mid-sentence. Cherise dashed to Lucy and placed a hand over Lucy’s mouth. “Go on to the office! Don’t worry about me. I’ll catch up with them!”

Noticing her flustered expression and flushed face, Damien smiled lightly, but he chose not to tease her. After all, as a man, it wouldn’t be right to linger too long with three women as they caught up with each other. With a slight smile, he turned and departed. “I’ll head out. You ladies keep chatting.” He made his way to the door, slipped on his coat, and left.

“Whew,” Cherise exhaled heavily, slumping onto the sofa as though drained of all energy. “Lucy, you nearly got me into big trouble!”

Mandy smirked from her spot beside them. “Damien won’t do anything to you. Your bond seems unbreakable.”
