Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 688

Chapter 688 The Return Of The Prodigal Ex-wife 

Cherise stood still, her gaze fixed on the path Ursula had angrily stormed away from-the echoes of Ursula’s enraged voice still ringing in her ears. 

She smiled gracefully, stood up, grabbed her coat, and commented, “Mr. Lenoir, it seems you’ve had a successful five years.” 

“Being both the family savior and the dear sister-in-law. The kids and I will excuse ourselves then.” 

Cherise scolded and turned to the two children, “Let’s go.” 

“We’ll stay in a hotel tonight.” 

Initially, Damien had planned for the children and Cherise to stay at Lenoir Manor. 

He justified his decision by citing safety concerns in the outside world and considering hotels too expensive. 

However, Cherise didn’t find hotels expensive; she found them inconvenient. 

Damien insisted that if she took the children to a hotel, he would send Blake, accompanied by bodyguards, to secure the hotel entrance and conduct security checks on other guests, fearing potential harm to his children. 

Given Damien’s prominent status in Adania, he undoubtedly had numerous enemies. 

Cherise found this arrangement troublesome, so she had agreed to stay at Lenoir Manor. 

But now it seemed…. 

Sera’s eyes 

widened and exclaimed, “Mommy, didn’t you say we would stay at handsome Uncle Shaw’s house?” 

Cherise smiled faintly and lifted Sera, “Uncle Shaw’s girlfriend wouldn’t approve.” 

She turned her smile to Soren. 

Soren understood and hopped off the chair, grabbing Cherise’s bag as he exclaimed, “Mommy, let’s go!” 

Damien furrowed his brow and raised his hand to stop Cherise, “Cherry, Rowena isn’t my girlfriend, she’s just…” 

Just someone who saved your life, right?

Cherise smiled at Damien; her clear eyes were filled with resignation. “Since she was injured saving you, you should take responsibility for her,” she stated. 

She paused for a moment, her eyes conveying a subtle meaning, and continued, “But, Mr. Lenoir, you should also take care of your future.” 

“Managing one lifesaver might be doable, but dealing with two might prove more. challenging.” 

Damien furrowed his brow and protested, “But Cherry, Rowena and I have never…” 

“I understand.” 

Cherise looked up at him and smiled, “but she has feelings for you.” 

“She saved your life just to be with you.

“Your indecisiveness is making everything difficult for us. I hope you figure things out.” 

She took a deep breath, her eyes filled with a hint of exasperation as she added, “Take care of yourself,” 

“As for taking the children out to play… let’s postpone that for now.” 

“Before making any decisions, consider visiting the person who saved your life.” 

Cherise remarked, and she picked up Sera and left with Soren. 

Damien stood still, contemplating whether to follow and provide an explanation. 

Yet, as he pondered.
