Chapter 878 Suppressing Worries
Sebastian stood still, his gaze fixed on Cherise’s departing figure, a mixture of emotions
swirling within him. As he watched her walk away, he couldn’t help but squint slightly,
silently clenching his hands by his side.
She seemed much calmer and more composed than he had imagined. Her demeanor
exuded maturity.
Yet, despite her newfound poise, Sebastian yearned for the carefree version of her that he
had known in the past.
Upon returning home, Cherise dedicated three hours to preparing dinner for the evening.
Frances, her loyal assistant, smiled, “If Mr. Lenoir knew that you had prepared such a feast
for him, he would undoubtedly be overjoyed!”
“Lately, Mr. Lenoir has been preoccupied with the company’s affairs… Tonight, he will
surely wear a smile on his face!”
As Cherise placed the final pierogis into the pot, a sense of concern crept over her. She
turned to Frances and asked, “Has he been troubled recently?”
Why hadn’t she noticed?
In theory, since she slept beside him daily, she should have been acutely aware of his

But despite their proximity, she had never sensed any signs of worry or distress on his
face.
Frances sighed knowingly, “Mrs. Lenoir, you wouldn’t have noticed!”
“Mr. Lenoir mentioned that you have been extremely busy lately, with numerous matters
demanding your attention…”
“Perhaps he fears that his concerns would burden you, so whenever you’re around, he
holds you close with a smile.“/
“But what you don’t know, Mrs. Lenoir, is that when he is alone, his aura becomes quite
oppressive…”
“He is actually facing a difficult situation. The shares of the company that were allocated
to Raymond and Tristan were determined by Old Mr. Lenoir before his passing, and he
cannot intervene, which is why they were able to sell them all off…”

“Now everyone in the company is worried, speculating that the Lenoir Group will soon be
renamed the Weiss Group…”
As Frances spoke, she realized she had divulged too much information and cleared her
throat, “But what I said may not be entirely accurate. I only overheard it from Mr. Kolson
and Mr. Hampson during their conversations
Cherise pursed her lips and stared intently at the boiling pierogis in the pot, feeling like
Pandora’s box had been opened in her heart.
So… Damien had been suppressing his own troubles to prevent her from feeling sad and
upset?
If only she could assist him with his difficulties.
At 8:30 PM.
“Mom, why hasn’t Dad come back yet?”
Sera lay sprawled across the table, her stomach grumbling audibly. With a pleading look,
she turned her dark eyes towards Cherise. “I’m so hungry!”
“Can’t we eat yet?”
Soren, unable to bear his sister’s discomfort, frowned at Cherise. “Did you try calling
him?”
“It’s getting late. We should eat and then head to bed.”
Cherise sighed inwardly, feeling the weight of responsibility. “You two go ahead and eat,”
she said, her voice tinged with resignation.

their meal.
With a heavy heart, she reached for her phone and dialed the familiar number.
Once again, she was met with the same busy signal she had encountered countless times
before.
With a deep breath, she rose from her seat. “Frances, please help the children with their
bath and bedtime routine once they finish eating,” she instructed.
