Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 520

Chapter 520 Broken Promises.

She raised her eyes, smiled at Damien, and said, “Take good care of yourself.”

Damien watched her silently, choosing not to say anything.

He looked at her with deep love but also with resignation.

Cherise felt a wave of guilt washed over her.

Since she had already decided, there was no room for regret.

The young girl took a deep breath and looked up to meet the man’s dark eyes. “My parents’ issues shouldn’t affect our relationship,” she said.

“I don’t think your sister likes me very much, and I don’t believe that will change anytime soon.”

“They trust me with you but feel uneasy about me living with your sister.”

Damien’s gaze fixed on her as his hand tightened around the coffee cup, but he remained silent.

Cherise suddenly chuckled.

She drained her coffee cup and asked, “Don’t you find it ridiculous?”

“How could you… how could you possibly sever ties with your sister.”

“She is your only family.”

“She took care of you for so long after your parents passed away.”

“Although her actions were at times misguided, she was ultimately motivated by a desire to avenge your parents.”

“Every move she made aimed to protect your family’s interests.”

“As such, severing ties with her seems unlikely for you.”

She swallowed the tear that trickled down her cheek, her voice quivering. “So Damien, let’s forget about us.”

Cherise stood up, placed her coffee cup down, and spoke softly, “I have left the divorce papers with Lulu.”

“Thank you for your care during this time.”

“I am sorry, but I must break my promise.”

She turned away, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes. “I failed to uphold our vows on

1/3

our wedding day.”

“I can no longer conceive a child for you.”

“You… take care.”

She was about to leave.
