Chapter 686 “More Drumsticks For Mommy; Fewer For Sera”
Ursula’s eyes narrowed with determination. “Yes, I must confront him! You’ve been feeling unwell lately,
even rushing to the emergency room twice this week. Yet, he returns with his ex-wife, lavishing her
affectionately, without even a moment to spare for you! It’s unthinkable!”
“No, Lula…” Rowena’s voice trailed off as Ursula abruptly ended the call and stormed off, intent on
confronting Damien and Cherise.
Back in her hospital ward, Rowena gazed at her heavily bandaged feet, a soft sigh escaping her lips.
She had stood by Damien for three years, and now his ex-wife loomed as her first, perhaps her last,
formidable opponent.
Meanwhile, after instructing Mr. Hampson to take their luggage home, Damien escorted. Cherise and
their children to the New World Restaurant.
This marked Cherise’s first visit to the restaurant in five years.
As she
surveyed the familiar surroundings, memories flooded back. She remembered when she had
encountered Mandy while savoring chicken legs with Lucy. Back then, Mandy had been a pawn in
Maeve’s game.
But the tables had turned. Now, Mandy held a prominent position within the Tanner family in Europe.
In truth, Cherise owed her peaceful years to Mandy’s unwavering support. Though technically younger,
Mandy acted with the maturity and protectiveness of an elder sister.
Alongside their grandfather Aaron, Mandy flawlessly steered the Tanner Group’s European operations.
The skills instilled in her by Maeve blossomed into a confident leadership, making her the very
embodiment of the Tanner family’s strength and resilience.
Yet, regardless of the occasion, whether she was interacting with business partners or shareholders,
her introduction remained humble: “Hello, I am Ms. Charlotte Tanner’s confidante and personal
assistant at work, her trusted butler at home, and most importantly,
her dear sister.”
As she reminisced, a smile touched Cherise’s lips.
“Wow, this chicken leg is delicious! Tastes just like Mr. Handsome’s!” Serafina exclaimed. digging into
her meal with gusto.
Soren, ever the cool one, remarked, “Perhaps Mr. Lenoir learned his culinary skills here”
Damien chuckled, placing a chicken leg on Cherise’s plate “Spot on. Ren You know I learned
it to win your mother’s heart.”
Soren smirked, a hint of amusement in his eyes despite his feigned disapproval.
“No, no, no!” Serafina protested as Damien placed one, two, and three chicken legs on Cherise’s plate.
“Mommy can’t eat that much! Give some to Sera, please!”
Damien chuckled. “Sera is a growing girl. You need to watch your figure, so there are fewer chicken
drumsticks for you.”
Serafina’s pout deepened. “But Mommy is a girl too!”
“But Mommy looks better with a little extra weight,” Damien explained, his mischievously. “It keeps the
other boys away, so she’s all mine.” Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Serafina’s eyes widened, momentarily confused. Then, with a burst of anger, she declared, “You’re
mean!”
Cherise cast Damien a helpless look. “Hey, you shouldn’t say such things in front of the kids, alright?”
Damien simply smiled. “She’ll understand when she’s older.”
However, their peaceful dinner was interrupted by the abrupt opening of the private room. door.
Cherise immediately recognized the girl who stormed in, anger etched on her face the same girl from
the airport.
Still clad in jeans and a white T-shirt, Ursula seemed to have arrived in a hurry. Her locked on Damien
