    such a grand proposal to publicly dere their renewed rtionship


    She knew that news of such avish proposal would soon spread overseas. It wouldn’t be long before


    the conservative Tanner family got wind of it. And perhaps Rowena and Urs would also seethe with


    rage


    But does it matter? Nothing was more significant to Cherise than the man standing before her


    The woman took a deep breath and smiled as she extended her hand. “What do you think my anewer


    ju?“ The coy smile on her face sand it all.

    was worried you wouldn’t ept me and still wanted to be in a deadlock with me.”


    Cherise bit her lip, her heart aching slightly. “Why would you think that?”


    “Because I treated you unfairly in the past.” He pulled her closer. “Cherise, I want to formally apologize


    to you for my actions five years ago.”


    Cherise was taken aback and suddenly understood what he was alluding to. She sniffled, “That’s in the


    past.”
