Chapter 689 Come Home

“Do you

still expect me to look after them for you? If I take care of the children and Cherise, they will become mine!”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

Damien’s hand trembled as he held the phone. “Then go check on Rowena.”

“And what about you?”

“I’m going after my darling.”

He ended the call and stormed out.

As he reached the ground floor, he saw Cherise hailing a taxi with their two children.

He pulled her into his arms and roared, “Come home with me!”

Cherise frowned and pulled away from his grip. “Home?”

In Adania, the concept of home had long eluded her.

But her strength was no match for Damien’s.

He held her tightly and whispered, “Cherry, you haven’t been home for five years. Frances and the others miss you.

The driver, Mr. Kolson, thoughtfully lowered the partition, separating the family of four from the driver.

Cherise pursed her lips, looking at Damien helplessly, and admonished, “Aren’t you afraid that your savior would be

angry if you took us home?”

Damien held her hand tightly, his voice low but gentle. “She has no right to be angry.”

“She should be happy for me.”

Cherise pursed her lips, and a warmth filled her heart.

She knew Damien would never ignore Rowena and would always be grateful to his savior.

However, at this moment, his willingness to prioritize her made her genuinely happy.

“But she wants to be with you.”

She uttered the truth softly.

He tightened his grip on her hand and said, “You might find it disappointing if I claimed not to care about her.”

“But the truth is… even though she saved me, I won’t be able to repay her with my body. I can offer her everything

His dark eyes stared at her. “Give me some time; I will take care of everything”
