Chapter 746 I Know Everything
Being at the beach and feeling the gentle sea breeze against her skin gradually calmed her heart
Cherise furrowed her brow as she gazed at the seaside. Suddenly, a lost memory surfaced, prompting her to smack her forehead.
Five years ago, she fought with Damien after learning that her uncle was the culprit who set fire to Maeve. Damien then drove along the coastal road and brought her to this place. He had purchased a seaside villa in her name, claiming to use it to bind her to him.
The memory prompted her to turn instinctively and look towards the villa.
As expected, the seaside villa stood there quietly, untouched by the pa*sage of five years.
The ocean remained unchanged, the villa was untouched, and the people in her life… were still the same.
Damien opened the door with a smile and strode toward the backseat. He carried Cherise out of the car and cradled her in his arms, heading determinedly toward the villa.
Cherise furrowed her brows and protested instinctively. “I can walk by myself. Put me down…”
But Damien ignored her and continued carrying her as he walked
Eventually, he laid her down gently on a large bed in the villa’s bedroom.
The bedroom was situated on the second floor. It had enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a panoramic view of the boundless sea. Sunlight streamed through the windows, bathing the room in at golden glow.
Damien pinned her beneath him, gazing at her with eyes brimming with affection. “Cherry.”
“Yes…” Cherise’s heart fluttered nervously. She looked uneasily at the man looming over her.
He had utterly devoured her the last time she found herself in this position. Finally, exhausted and devoid of strength, she even tasted his devilishly good cooking skills.
Five years later, Cherise could not help but feel a sense of panic upon finding herself in the same situation.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Damien’s eyes focused intensely on hers. They were brimming with affection. “Did you find it amusing to hide it from me?”
Cherise was taken aback. “What… what are you talking about?”
“I already know.” Damien leaned down, planting a k*ss on her cheek. “Cherry, I know everything. It wasn’t Rowena who saved me three years ago. It was you, wasn’t it?”
Cherise was briefly stunned before nodding. Then, she pursed her l*ps, asking, “How… how did find
out?”
“If I hadn’t…” Damien traced her l*ps with his fingertips. “When were you planning to tell me?”
you
Cherise felt a pang of guilt under his intense gaze. She bit her l*p and turned her face away, unable to look

at him. I didn’t mean to keep it from you… I… I was just too naïve.”
Damien pulled her tightly into his embrace before rolling them over to lie on the bed. “How could I have mistaken you for a hallucination?”
“I had a feeling that you saved me from the fire. Yet, I was too foolish and didn’t dare to believe it… I couldn’t believe that after leaving me for three years, you would come to save me during the most critical
moment.”
“Furthermore, I was too naïve, which enabled Rowena to deceive me for three years. I thought she was my savior and a friend. It was much later that I realized my true savior never asked for anything from me. All she wanted was for me to live well.”
Damien’s voice was deep and resonant. Each word pierced deeply into Cherise’s heart.
