Chapter 1133 The Wedding Day
On the wedding day, she and Lennon had already split up.
He was supposed to have left Yatesville.
So why was he still here?
As Lucy pondered his clandestine meeting with Alexis, her heart clenched.
Could it be that he was vying for custody of Alexis?
The more she mulled it over, the more convinced she becthat her speculation was on point. Lennon's purpose for staying
seemed increasingly clear: to fight for custody.
Lucy remained awake throughout the night, her mind consumed by worry and uncertainty.
The following day, Cherise, still lost in a dreamy haze, felt the touch of large hands gently pinching her cheeks.
She instinctively knew whose touch it was.
Half-awake, she closed her eyes and, with a playful yet sleepy gesture, attempted to nip at the hand of the familiar presence
beside her.

"Hiss!"
A soft gasp escaped the man as he hovered above her, playfully pinching her face. "Little rascal, did you just bite me?"
"Who said you could disturb my beauty sleep?"
Cherise retorted, her lips pursed as she shifted to a morefortable position, nestling into his arms. "It's barely dawn, and you're
already causing trouble?"
"It's six o'clock."
He informed her, leaning down to gently kiss her forehead. "If | need to be at the office by eight, | can leave at seven forty."
"Eating takes ten minutes, washing up takes ten minutes," he stated matter-of-factly.
"So..." she trailed off, sensing mischief in his tone.
He wickedly nipped at her ear. "We still have an hour and twenty minutes to kill."
Cherise's eyes widened, realizing his ulterior motives. He'd woken her up early for a reason!
She brimmed with resistance, both physically and mentally. "Damien Lenoir, you've stirred up enough trouble last night, and
now..."
Before she could finish her sentence, she was silenced by his passionate embrace.
Although Cherise lacked energy in the early morning, she couldn't resist the man's vibrant enthusiasm for long. Soon, she found
herself yielding to his desires.
Amid their electric encounter, Cherise's phone, resting on the low cab, suddenly rang, disrupting the moment.
She hastily pushed Damien away and answered the phone. "Lucy, why are you calling so early?"
"Yeah," cLucy's calm voice on the other end.
"lI haven't slept all night, and I've made a decision."
"What decision?" Cherise inquired, her tone tinged with concern.
"I'm going to start looking for a job," Lucy announced.
Cherise was momentarily speechless. "Why the sudden decision?"
Cherise quickly scrambled out of bed, threw on a robe, and perched herself on the window seat as she continued the phone
conversation.
The man, unsatisfied with his desire, entered the bathroom with a dark expression.
Watching Damien's gloomy figure, a smile couldn't help but appear on Cherise's lips.
Only Lucy dared to ruin Damien's good mood in this world, right?

And anyway, Cherise would only dare to try with Lucy's call.
"Lennon's Still in Yatesville,
Cherise felt a twinge of emptiness touching her heart.
She'd known he hadn't left, but Damien had asked her to keep it under wraps, so she obliged.
"Um, are you sure Lennon is still there?" Cherise inquired tentatively.
Taking a deep breath, Lucy responded, "I've confirmed that he hasn't left yet."
A hint of sadness tinged her voice as she continued, "I believe he's staying because he wants to fight for custody of Alexis with
me."
Cherise's hand trembled slightly as she held the phone. "Or... maybe not?"
"Definitely," Lucy affirmed with conviction.
Lucy chuckled bitterly. "He's been entangling withfor so long. Now that he knows he has a four-year-old child, he won't give up
easily."
"I've considered it," Lucy continued, settling on the balcony and gazing at the distant morning light. "Lennon is the CEO of a big
corporation, living a glamorous life."
