Chapter 229 I Need to Grow

Damien knew that there was no deterring her once Cherise had set her mind on something. Yet, as a man, he couldn’t bear to witness his beloved facing the deluge of those rumors. He wasn’t afraid of trials or the judgment of others. His only fear was seeing her hurt.

“I believe you can and will protect me.” Cherise affirmed. She gently pressed her lips together, reached out to encircle his neck, and kissed his lips tenderly. “But, my love, this all began because of me. I can’t just sit here and wait for you to resolve everything on my behalf.”

Her eyes shimmered as she gazed at him. “You’ve done so much for me already, but I can’t keep sheltering myself behind you. I need to grow.”

“I need to be ready for anyone who might wish me harm.”

Damien, convinced by her words, could only release a deep sigh. “Alright.”
