    “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 whates 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 sce 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 rtionship 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 ne, she was immediately ambushed by the unexpected reappearance


    of his lifesaver.


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

    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 thene 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 theforting warmth of the man beside her and his steady


    breath.


    She didn’t decide toe 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.


    “Take a rest.”


    The man’srge hand gently cradled her shoulder, allowing her body to restfortably against his.


    His voice, low and soothing, cooed, “When we get home, I’ll carry you inside
