Chapter 324 First Flight
“Madam, wasn’t your trip to Europe meant to be a getaway? Why then…”
Why bring textbooks?
Homework, perhaps?
Cherise chuckled sheepishly, “The finals are approaching… I need to prepare for it…”
Moved, Frances quietly unpacked the books. “Madam, you are truly a hard worker…”
Head bowed, engrossed in her phone, Cherise silently nodded.
On the screen, a list was sent from Lucy.
“I want postcards from Europe!”
“Designer clothes from France!”
“British comestics!”
“And… Perfumes!”
Overwhelmed, Cherise retorted, “Sis, you never wear perfumes.”
“Right.”

“I don’t care, I want it! Consider it my alluring post-singlehood!”
“And don’t forget everything else I listed!”
Resigned, Cherise acquiesced helplessly. “Alright, I’ll buy them all.”

He approached her leisurely, sat on the bed, glimpsed at the phone, and affectionately ruffled her hair.
“Little smarty.”
Embarrassed, Cherise stuck out her tongue. “Anyway, I have no clue about the stuff she’d asked for.”

Seconds later, Lennon sent him Lucy’s wish list.
“Do me a favor at your convenience.”
Cherise was speechless.
Annoyed, she snatched Damien’s phone and replied in a voice message. “Lennon Belcourt, can you
put in a little effort?”
A long silence was followed by Lennon’s innocent voice. “I’ve never courted a girl, and I don’t know
what to buy…”
Fuming. Cherise shot back. “Neither has my husband! He’s clueless too!”

Damien, fist to his lips, coughed lightly. “Time to go.”
Cherise eyed him doubtfully, then turned her attention to Frances, who was still packing.
Unaware, Frances shook her head.
Damien became uncomfortable as he threw an awkward gaze at Frances, then muttered, “Let me get
Mr. Hampson to help with the luggage.”
With that, his towering shadow whisked away into thin air.
Cherise was dumbfounded.

Is he hiding something!?
Before departing, Cherise meticulously calculated the distance between Adania and Italy on the map.
By her estimation, they would… Transit in Serenity Falls.
Yet, Damien led her through the VIP channel and straight onto a private jet.
Her first flight, a private one.
Aboard, excited and undisguised, she buckled up tightly and glanced around eagerly-she was the very
picture of a child on her first flight.
