Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077 Unwanted Eyes
Indeed, Damien's vulnerability likely stemmed from his profound connection with Cherise.

"I'm heading there too!" Savannah's voice resonated through the room.

Upon Steve's announcement of his plan to visit Cherise at the police station, Savannah swiftly rose from her seat. "I can't shake this feeling of unease without her by my side..."

Steve pinched his nose bridge. "I intend to visit her illicitly."

"If you accompany me, it would only draw us unwanted eyes," he added, his tone firm yet considerate.

Savannah pouted defiantly. "Why does it matter if it draws us unwanted eyes?"

"As cherished friends, isn't it our duty to stand by someone unjustly accused?"

Steve responded with a helpless shake of his head, accompanied by a heavy sigh.

"You brought it up yourself; Cherry was framed," Steve explained.

"The person with the precise knowledge of yesterday's events, who conveniently pinned the blame on Cherry, must be someone within our midst."

"We're exposed while they operate from the shadows. I don't want to entangle you in this."

"Damien and I will have to increase our efforts even more should you find yourself targeted again."

Steve's eyes were clear and open as he relayed the words to her.

Savannah was momentarily caught off guard by his response, her confusion evident. After a brief moment, she hesitantly retreated a step. "How... how can I help Cherry?"

Steve considered for a moment. "I've heard that Damien and Cherry have a pair of five-year-old twins."

"How about shopping and picking out some gifts for the kids?"

Savannah reluctantly agreed to Steve's suggestion; her lips pressed into a tight line as she complied.

Once Steve had left, Savannah dismissed the idea of applying makeup. Instead, she opted for a casual ponytail and grabbed a duffle bag before departing from the house.

Savannah found herself less inclined to pick out presents for Cherise's twins; her foremost concern was for their mother.

The notion of a young girl enduring confinement in such a place weighed heavily on her mind. <i>How frightened must she be?</i>

The thought of being falsely accused and detained was undeniably distressing.
