Chapter 1195

The Bitter Smile

“It would be ideal if she could move on from Lennon like this,” Cherise muttered, her voice edging with frustration.

Pushing Damien away, she stared at him incredulously. “Are you even a friend to Lennon? You stood by and watched as he marched towards his demise without doing anything!?”

Damien chuckled softly, a hint of sadness in his eyes. “During the years without you, life felt empty to me too.”

Cherise remained silent, her thoughts tumultuous as she grappled with Damien’s words.

“Both you and I can find peace, so why can’t they?” Damien asked, his gaze intense.

Cherise bit her lip, speechless by his question, as emotions welled inside her.
