Her eyes, still carrying traces of sleepiness but unable to hide their innate clarity and brightness, as she fixed them on him. “Did you eat?” “I grabbed a light bite at the office,” Damien replied, gently tucking her in with a thin blanket. I've told you not to wait up for me.” “It’s already past ten,” he remarked, noting the lateness of the hour.

#If | hadn't cback tonight, were you planning to sleep at the dining table?” Damien queried a hint of amusement in his tone.

Feeling a twinge of embarrassment, Cherise hesitated before admitting, “I have something to discuss with you.

The soft light filtering through the lampshade illuminated her pure and fair visage, accentuating her ethereal beauty.

A tender sensation stirred within Damien's heart.

He gently lifted her slender form without hesitation and cradled her in his arms? “Silly girl,” he murmured softly.

With care, he gently placed her back on the bed.

“Did you want to talk about something?” The man perched on the edge of the bed, his gaze steady as he regarded her. “What's on your mind?” “There's someone named Mr. Whitlock, the former director of the research institute where 1 used to work,” Cherise explained, retrieving a voice recorder from the bedside table and passing it to Damien. “He said we should listen to this together.” “He emphasized its importance, and Yolanda arranged for him to pass it to you throughbefore she left Adania,” she added.

“He specifically instructed that | shouldn't listen it alone and that you must listen with me. “He specifically instructed that | shouldn't listen Ait Damien glanced at her with a hint of helplessness. “You stayed up just for this?” Cherise’s nightly routine typically led her to bed by 8:30 p.m.

However, tonight was different. Despite the late hour, she found herself still seated at the dining table, caught up in the mysterious matter presented by Mr. Whitlock, a task she couldn’t even remember.

Unconsciously, Damien glanced at the time.

It was nearly eleven o’clock, much later than their usual bedtime.

A sense of unease crept over him as he gently squeezed her shoulder. “It’s late. Aren't you tired?” Cherise remained on the bed, held by Damien’s presence.

Yet, she met his gaze with unwavering determination. I'm not tired.” “You're lying,” Damien teased, lightly pinching her nose. “Your bloodshot eyes betray you.
