Chapter 314 Mandy, My Younger Sister?
Damien had always held his sister in the highest regard and had a deep respect for her; she was the closest family member he had.
But how Mandy had described Danielle made her seem like a completely different. person- a devil.
“Honey,” she murmured softly, wrapping her arms around his waist and exhaling deeply. “I feel like a fool.”
“I’m not sure how to console you or make things better,” she confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Will you blame me?” Her words were as delicate as a whisper.
Moments later, her hand was gently enveloped by his larger one, and his deep voice broke the silence. “Cherry.”
The warmth of his hand in hers comforted Cherise, warming her heart. She bit her lip and replied, “I’m here.”
“You know, I have my fears as well,” he confessed in the darkness.
His voice, tinged with loneliness and sorrow, confessed in the darkness, “I’m scared that Mandy might be right.”
Cherise squeezed his hand, offering silent understanding.
Damien sighed deeply, “I know what she said is true.”
“Danielle… she can be ruthless.”
Memories from thirteen years ago still haunted him.
However, Damien had always chosen to remember the positive aspects of Danielle, conveniently overlooking her manipulative side.
With his eyes gently shut, he could still recall Danielle’s words as she held his hand, saying, “You know, the responsibility for our parents’ deaths lies not just within our family but also with the associates who collaborated with the Lenoir Group.”
“It’s a world where only the strong survive; if you’re not tough, you’ll find yourself at the mercy of others.”
“Our parents were too kind, which led to their tragic end. So, we have to be ruthless to
survive.”
Damien beamed a bitter smile.
Before Damien met Cherise, he approached dealings just like what Danielle had taught him cold, ruthless, and without a care.
Over the years, he cooked up a bunch of schemes that gradually tangled the Lenoir family
in a mess.
He didn’t see himself as cruel, but Cherise changed that. Her warmth and light coaxed. open the heart that the world had locked away.
Damien held Cherise’s hand tight, “Letting go of old grudges isn’t easy. But I hope she would stop implicating the innocent.”
He turned to Cherise, hugged her, and kissed her forehead. “We owe Mandy big time.
So…
He took a deep breath and gently held Cherise’s face. “What if I say that, in the future, I’ll provide more support and care for Mandy? Would that upset you?”
Cherise hesitated. “When you talk about ‘protection,’ are you implying…”
“I want to treat her like a younger sister,” Damien’s deep, earnest gaze was unwavering on Cherise. “I believe it’s the best way to make amends.”
“So, I’ve been thinking, could she become a part of our family, and we could look after her and keep her safe until she finds someone to marry.”
Cherise pursed her lips, unable to speak for a while. She comprehended Damien’s perspective. It’s just….
