Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1059

Chapter 1059 Maneuvering Calais

Cherise's efforts to maintain peace went unnoticed by Gwenn, who saw her as a perpetual thorn in her side. Whenever Cherise found happiness, Gwenn couldn't help but feel a twinge of envy and bitterness.

"I've made a decision on your behalf without consulting you. You don't have to keep making any more compromises," Damien stated calmly, his gaze fixed on the passing scenery outside the car window.

"The reason Sebastian is in this mess today is because he made a choice to follow Gwenn's words," Damien continued, his tone unwavering.

"Think about it," Damien posed, his words weighted with implication. "Considering Sebastian's character, other than the obvious, what do you suppose he'll do once he's free?"

His mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Savannah.

If he knew the precise whereabouts of Savannah and Trent, he would undoubtedly prioritize rescuing Savannah without hesitation.

"Do not fret," Damien consoled, acknowledging Steve's pressing desire to assist the woman he cherished deeply. "We're on our way to Calais."

Seated at the steering wheel, Mr. Hampson sported a subtle grin as he affirmed, "Mr. Orborn, I'm an adept driver; please trust in my driving prowess."

"We'll catch up with them before their encounter."

Steve found some relief upon hearing their reassurances, though it proved to be short-lived.

He tightened his lips, his expression serious. "You lot aren't locals, so you probably don't know Calais as well as I do."

His stare grew more intense. "Calais isn't like Adania. It's a smaller city, incomparable in size. If they've made it to the outskirts by now, no matter how fast we drive, we won't get there in time..."
