Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 690

Chapter 690 Emotionally Drained. 

“Five years ago, I trusted your words, believed we needed a break, and let you slip out of my life for five years,” he confessed. 

“I promise, no matter what comes our way, I won’t let go of your hand again.” 

Damien’s intense and unwavering gaze mirrored Cherise’s determination when she vowed to bear his child. 

Cherise felt her throat tighten as she looked at Damien’s determined face. 

Finally, she could only sigh softly, “Alright.” 

“But I hope you can sort things out with her soon.” 

“I insist that we prevent a recurrence of disturbances like the intrusion by the Mortis sisters into our private space,” Cherise said sternly. 

Damien pressed his lips together and nodded emphatically, “I promise.” 

Finding solace in his words, Cherise sighed heavily, leaning her weary head on his shoulder, and murmured, “I’m just so tired.” 

She was exhausted. 

After a long day’s journey, she was not only physically tired but also emotionally drained. 

Every day spent with Damien was a test of endurance. 

As Mandy kept an eye on the Tanner family, the looming question persisted: What if shareholders discovered her amicable relationship with Damien? How would they react? 

Yet, she couldn’t bring herself to reject Damien. 

The weight of pressure had led her here, convincing herself she was only taking the children 

for a short vacation. 

As she disembarked from the plane, she was immediately ambushed by the unexpected reappearance of his lifesaver. 

The heartbreak that had shattered her five years ago was still palpable 

But 

She closed her eyes and the indignant voice of Mandy during last night phone call blared 

“Cherry, I heard it from Lucy!” 

“You can’t deceive yourself.” 

“If you can find affection for someone new, you will have moved on over these five years. 

“Even with someone as perfect as Zachary by your side, it appears there’s still a lingering soft spot in your heart for Damien.” 

“Why should we worry about the shareholders’ opinions and actions? Even if Damien is considered as the Tanner and Miles families’ enemy, think about the possibility of creating a crisis that only Damien can resolve.” 

“Wouldn’t these profit-driven individuals then come to hold Damien in high esteem?” 

“Don’t overthink this. If Damien is still worth your effort, give him another chance and, more importantly, give yourself another chance…” 

Cherise closed her eyes, feeling the comforting warmth of the man beside her and his steady 

breath. 

She didn’t decide to come to Adania with him lightly. 

Yet, she braced herself for the storm that awaited. 

She also hoped that he wouldn’t make her regret she had the chance to confront those 

storms.
