Chapter 670 You’re Worth It
Damien couldn’t help but chuckle and gently held Cherise’s hand against his face. “Cherry, is it only when you’re drunk that you reveal your true feelings?”
He laughed resignedly and leaned down to tenderly kiss her lips. “It seems I’ll have to frequently ply you with alcohol.”
When Cherise was sober, she would never disclose so much of her innermost thoughts to him. She would also never take the initiative to caress his face and show such intimacy.
Instead, she would hide her true self from him.
“Actually…” Cherise mumbled after Damien released her. Her face flushed as she affectionately gazed at Damien. “You’re worth it. I don’t regret my decision at all…”
She looked at him with a foolish grin. “I don’t regret giving up on my dreams because you are worth it.”
Her words made Damien furrow his brow.
She said she didn’t regret her decision. Was it because it had something to do with him?
Damien pressed his lips together, cradling her face. His eyes reflected a hint of nervousness and confusion as he closely examined her expression. “What don’t you regret? What makes me worth it?”
“I don’t regret… my decision.” She pursed her lips, still gazing dreamily at him. “You’re worth it…”
Cherise giggled as she fell into Damien’s arms, nestling her head against his chest. “You were worth what I did three years ago…”
However, she tilted her head and fell asleep before she could finish speaking.
Damien frowned and helplessly looked at the sleeping woman. “Three years ago…”
He wanted to ask her what exactly happened three years ago. But…
Seeing her tired, sleeping face, he ultimately gave up. He couldn’t force her if she didn’t want
to discuss it.
Moreover, she was already exhausted from the day’s events. Now that she was finally asleep. he couldn’t bear to wake her up again.
Damien sighed. He gently carried Cherise and placed her on the bed, tucking her in
carefully.
After that, he glanced at the time and realized it was already past four in the afternoon. It wast time to pick up the children from school.
He was about to ask Blake to keep an eye on Cherise when an unfamiliar ringtone echoed in the room.
It was Cherise’s phone.
He gently took it out of her pocket and glanced at the screen. It was a call from Zachary.
He frowned and hesitated briefly before answering. “Hello.”
“Hello.” Upon hearing Damien’s voice, the man on the other end fell silent for a moment. “Mr. Lenoir?”
“Yes, it’s me,” Damien responded calmly. “Mr. Miles, it’s been a while.”
“You haven’t seen me in a long time, but I’ve seen you. I saw you on TV this morning.”
Zachary sounded as mischievous and cheerful as he did five years ago. “How’s Cherry?”
“I gave her a few drinks. She’s asleep now.”
Zachary chuckled dryly. “That’s probably for the best.
“What happened three years ago?” Damien took a deep breath and asked.
Although he hadn’t been in touch with Cherise for years, he knew Cherise and Zachary had always been close because of Charisa. Therefore, Zachary must have known what happened three years ago, even if no one else did.
“Cherry doesn’t want me to tell anyone.”
Zachary chuckled softly, “If it were up to me, I’d be more than willing to tell. you. But Cherry warned me that she would cut ties with me if I revealed it. I really like her. Of course, I can’t bear to lose her.”
