Chapter 313 Letting Damien Calm Down
Cherise gave Mandy a big thumbs-up.
‘Smack!’ The sharp sound of a slap rang out.
Lucy forcefully pulled herself free from Lennon’s grip and delivered a resounding slap.
Lennon remained impassive, his eyes locked onto Lucy.
Lucy’s heart raced, her face flushed. She glared at him, her anger palpable. “You’re so sick!”
“Perhaps I am,” Lennon replied, his gaze intense, as if it could pierce through her. “I can’t stand if when
you’re so close to other guys.”
His voice, typically characterized by clarity and grace, now held an added weight and seriousness.
“Lulu, I don’t like people who give up so easily.”
“You told me you liked me and wanted to be with me, yet here you are, getting involved. with someone
else.”

Lennon assumed that even if he rejected Lucy, she would persist like other women usually did. But he
never expected her to be so stoic. She didn’t even look back at him after hist rejection!
Was she this unfeeling? What right did she have to claim she liked him in the first place?
Lucy clenched her teeth, her hands forming tight fists before she released them at her sides.
“You’re out of your mind!”
With that, she shoved him aside and bolted out the door.
Lennon remained frozen in place, closing his eyes with a bitter smile.
Well, Lucy had probably casually confessed her feelings for him. He had been naive to take it seriously.
“Isn’t it risky for a young woman to be out so late?” Jacob, pretending to be concerned, looked in the
direction Lucy had gone.
Lennon stood there, unmoved.

Mandy raised an eyebrow and asked Cherise, “Cherry, you know the countryside better than any of us.
Do you think there are jackals, wolves, or leopards in the mountains. around this village?”
Cherise was startled as she observed Mandy squinting and pulling faces. It struck a chord in her, “Of
course! Deep in the mountains, you can find all sorts of creatures!”
After her remark, she instinctively looked outside. “Lulu wouldn’t actually be going into the mountains,
would she?”
The man standing in the living room dashed outside like a gust of wind as soon as she finished
speaking.
“I
suppose that’s that, for now,” Mandy commented with a lazy stretch. “Geez, these guys can be so
awkward.”
Cherise nodded. “But…”

She mumbled to herself while turning to glance at Rodney’s room. “I doubt that guy would let Lulu off
that easily.”
Mandy raised an eyebrow and replied, “Leave him to me. I’ve got him wrapped around. my finger.”
While Cherise observed Jacob tending to Mandy’s injury in the living room, she couldn’t stifle a yawn.
It was well past one in the morning, and after sleeping a lot on the bus during the day, she felt a bit
tired.
She wondered if Damien was already asleep at this hour.
Cherise pushed the door open with a hint of guilt. Unsure about how to comfort Damien. or help him
feel better in her current state, she decided to follow Jacob’s advice and let him calm down on his own.
As she closed the door behind her, her thoughts wandered. If one day she discovered that her uncle
wasn’t the person she believed him to be, she might feel even worse than
Damien did now.
