Chapter 521 Goodbye, Damien
Indeed, he’s just like Maeve. His family is the center of his universe. So why can’t I prioritize my own family for once, too?
A bitter smile graced Cherise’s face.
Before coming here, she had thought about it countless times-as long as Damien agreed to sever ties with Maeve, she would reconcile with him.
If Damien had considered Maeve’s impact on her, she would have sent Charisa away and her remaining life with him.
She even thought of….

If Damien could a*sure her that he would try to focus more on her than his family in the future, she would disregard everything else and continue to love him with all her heart.
However, he remained silent.
He was trying hard to defend his father when she brought up the past.
What else could she say?
To him, she wasn’t the most important.
Perhaps he hadn’t figured out how to handle this relationship.
Or maybe he had, and was just waiting for her to voice her thoughts.
Since that was the case, Cherise decided that she would be the one to speak up.
After all, she was the one who fell for him first.
“Goodbye, Damien.”
With that, Cherise walked out of the cafe.
It was raining heavily outside.
Cherise didn’t have an umbrella. Walking alone in the rain, her figure appeared small and fragile.
Damien stood at the door, watching Cherise’s departure. He repeated the action of clenching his fists and releasing them.
He took out his phone, intending to call Blake.
But when his finger hovered over Blake’s name, he hesitated.

Zachary’s number.
“Take good care of her.”
Cherise walked slowly in the rain.
With each step, she wondered if she had walked too fast and left too abruptly for Damien to come after her.
She wondered if he was still hesitating and if she should give him more time.
Before she realized it, she had been walking in the rain for quite some time.
The cold raindrops fell from the sky and trickled down her face.
The warm tears at the corner of her eyes were washed away by the rain, over and over again.
She walked aimlessly as her hope was gradually replaced by loss, disappointment, and despair.
Suddenly, a black car pulled up in front of her.
Cherise stood still in a daze, watching the man exit the car.
Zachary hurriedly got out of the car and pulled Cherise into his arms, “Are you out of your mind?”
“Your wound hasn’t healed yet. Do you want it to get infected again? What if you catch a cold in the rain?” You don’t want Aunt Charisa and Mr. Beckham to worry about you, do you?”
Tears streamed down Cherise’s face. She looked up at Zachary, “Damien… didn’t choose me. I gave him a chance, but he didn’t choose me…”
Zachary held Cherise tightly and sighed. “Then let him live with his regret.”
A week later.
Cherise and Beckham escorted Charisa, who was seriously ill, to leave Adania and set off for where the Tanner family was.
“Cherry, we must keep in touch. We’ll visit you when we have time.”
In the airport, Lucy tearfully held Cherise’s hand. “Please be happy.”
Cherise nodded.
Standing at the security entrance, she bid farewell to Lucy, Blake, Lennon, Jacob, and Elvis’ family.
After she finished saying goodbye to everyone, the person she was anticipating still didn’t appear.
