Chapter 211 Romantic Feelings for Cherise
She was sure of it! Even if Damien had no romantic feelings for her, he certainly wouldn’t be interested in those girls who passed him notes.
“So here’s the question,” Lucy interjected while rubbing her aching stomach. “if you’re so dead set that Damien’s into you, why do you keep bickering with him? Trust issues aside, you’re his top pick, right?”
Cherise hesitated and turned her face away. “It’s not the same.”
Having a crush on someone was one thing, but cherishing her as a serious priority was a different story. Her frustration didn’t stem from Damien’s lack of romantic feelings but from his inability. to see her as his own or as part of his real family.
“Assemble!”
While Cherise was lost in thought, the PE teacher arrived. Lucy pulled her to attention, and she quickly joined the others in forming lines.
“As agreed in the previous class, we will be conducting physical fitness tests this time,” the PE teacher announced with his expression stern. “However, I have some last-minute business to attend to today, so I’ve arranged for a substitute teacher to oversee the fitness tests.”
The teacher’s gaze shifted meaningfully over Cherise’s face. “Now, let’s welcome our substitute teacher for this class, Mr. Lenoir!”
Mr. Lenoir?
Cherise frowned, and an ominous feeling welled up within her. She raised her head.
Sure enough, the man walking toward their group, dressed in gray sportswear, was none other than Damien.
However…
Cherise pursed her lips; this was probably the first time she had seen Damien in sportswear, except for when he practiced martial arts. Apparently, attractive people possessed the knack for looking good in whatever they wore.
His sportswear, matching that of the balding PE teacher, assumed an entirely fresh allure on him, almost like he were a supermodel effortlessly strutting down a runway rather than just in everyday attire.
“Wow, the new sub-teacher is a real heartthrob!”
“Yeah, and he’s got a fit body too!”
“Did you check out his eyes? So intense! Oh, he’s looking over here, he’s looking over here! Ahhh!”

The girls’ chatter was relentless. Cherise bit her lip; having a handsome husband could be quite
the hassle.
“Hello, everyone. I’m your sub for today,” the man’s deep voice echoed, sending more girls into fits of excitement.
A daring girl at the front said, “Mr. Sub, do you have a girlfriend?”
Holding the attendance list, the man hesitated briefly, then glanced up, his eyes skimming past Cherise. I’m sorry, but I’m already married.”
“Ah?”
The girls collectively mourned. “He’s so young to be married…”
Lucy playfully nudged Cherise with her shoulder. “Did you hear that? It’s the sound of broken hearts all around.”
“All those hearts? You’re the heartbreaker here.”
Cherise bit her lip, a mysterious sense of joy bubbling up inside her.
With a subtle smile, she stole a glance at Damien, who had his eyes on her. Their gazes locked, and he grinned at her before returning to the attendance list. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
“Lucy Staber.”
“Present!”
“Cherise Shaw.”
“Here.”
“Leticia Wright.”
“Present.”
Cherise stood still, observing as Damien continued calling out names. It was a side of him she hadn’t witnessed before.
He had cast away his previous facades, unveiling his genuine self. In every move and gesture, he exuded confidence, aloofness, and that undeniable handsomeness.
