Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1216

Chapter 1216 New Climates
Lucy wanted to cry but found herself unable to shed a single tear. She knelt silently before Lennon's grave, one arm stretched out to touch the grayscale photo of his face.

This man was never coming back.

Despite his failings and misdoings, she had hoped he would live well and not live on in people's memories this way.

After staying at the cemetery the entire day, she reached out for Alexis's hand and gently said, "This is your father."

Alexis's innocent voice echoed through the cemetery, "Father, I miss you."

Yet, would he even hear these words?

Nevertheless, life must go on.

Learning that Alexis had lost his father, Cherise brought Soren and Serafina to entertain him daily. The children's emotions came and went quickly, but it didn't take long before the little one started grinning again.

However, the same couldn't be said about Lucy.

"Sometimes, I wonder," Lucy said one day, sitting in a pavilion of the Lenoir family mansion, sipping juice and watching the three kids playing at a distance. "Did he know the cruise ship would explode? Did he know that this day would come? Did he push me away, hoping to spare me from the pain?"

Cherise's heart ached for Lucy. She bowed her head as a slight smile pulled at her lips, "Maybe."

"No, he would not be so considerate." Lucy sighed. "If he truly cared about my feelings, he shouldn't have died in the first place."

Lucy herself knew that she was treading dreary grounds, so she swiveled to face Cherise and changed the topic. "I haven't seen Colin in a while."

"He's on a business trip out on the seas with my husband," Cherise replied.

Lucy dipped her head. "Has he adjusted to life in Adania?"
