Chapter 198 She Left
Apart from hugging her, Damien couldn’t do anything. Though they had only been married for a month, he had come to understand her stubborn temperament.
Once she fixated on one thing, no one could change her mind.
She was too agitated and emotional at that moment. There was nothing he could say to change her mind, and he knew it was best for her to calm down first. Yet, he struggled to find a way to make that happen.
He had been a gifted child since he was young-he could learn anything and achieve the best result, except when it came to relationships.
No one taught him how to love, and he had never taken the initiative to learn about it.
It was only after he found himself in a relationship that he realized how ill-equipped he was.
All this while, he thought he had been helping her to solve her problems. Ironically, her biggest problem was him..
“Cherry.”
“Let me go.” She tried to escape from his embrace, but he refused to budge.
“Let me go now.” She glared at him. “If you still want to call yourself my husband, let me go right.
now!”
He stared at her for a while before relenting.
Cherise got up and put her shirt back on. Before leaving, she felt sorry for him. “I made the fish specially for you. Thank you for helping me and my family out these few days. Hope you enjoy
it.”
“Where are you going?” Damien asked grimly.
Where am I going? Where can I go? Cherise thought as she wiped the tears from her face.
She once thought this place would be her home for the rest of her life and moved all her belongings there.
During the recent trip back to her hometown, she even took all her belongings in her youth back to Damien’s place.
Now, this place I call home has no room for me anymore. The man I vowed to go through the thicks and thins of life has never regarded me as his family.
It was raining heavily at that moment. When she reached the door, he grabbed her hand.

“Let go,” she said coldly, turning around to look at him impa*sively.
With a frown on his face, Damien handed an umbrella to her. “Don’t catch a cold.”
Cherise grinned at him mockingly. “It’s unusual of you to be so concerned about a stranger.”
“You’re not.” He looked at her intently. “Come back to me soon.”
The sarcastic smile played on her lips as she threw the umbrella on the ground and ran into the
rain.
Yet, he didn’t stop her; he couldn’t, even if he wanted to.
With his eyes closed, he picked up his phone and called someone.
Cherise walked along the streets forlornly as the entire city was shrouded in rain.
A young boy dressed in blue held an umbrella behind her, but she waved him off with a bitter. smile. “Go back. Don’t follow me any longer.”
Blake shook his head and continued following her. After all, his stubbornness could rival hers.
She chuckled but stopped talking to him, continuing her aimless walk in the rain.
What does Damien mean by this? He didn’t come after me personally, yet he sent Blake to follow me? He doesn’t trust me enough, yet he still asks Blake to keep an eye on me. What the hell is he thinking?
After some time, a black Porsche stopped next to her.
As the windows rolled down, Lennon’s exasperated face was revealed.
“You guys gave me a hard time finding you,” he remarked, casting a quick look at their surroundings. “It’s impressive how far a woman and a kid can walk. I can’t believe you guys managed to reach here.”
With that, he opened the door. “Get in.”
