Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 124 Can My Hubby Be Considered My Guardian
Cherise was dumbfounded at the scene. Those were the midterm exam scores of the entire class! The
scores were supposed to be recorded in the grading system and contribute to their academic creditsâ¦
Distressed, she turned around to ask for Lucyâs help, but Lucy and Cressa were already fighting.
Cherise was so anxious that she nearly cried.
âCherise Shaw, how could you let this happen?
The additional mathematics teacher angrily poked Cheriseâs forehead in the staff office. âYouâre the
class representative. Itâs your responsibility to collect the exam sheets. Why did you let Lucy handle it?â
The teacher pointed at the battered Lucy, who was standing in one corner. âLook at her now. How can
she protect the exam sheets?â
âIâm sorry, teacherâ¦â
Cherise looked at the few pieces of torn sheets she managed to retrieve, feeling helpless.
âDo you think saying sorry will help? These are the results of the whole class! There are more than
thirty students in the class. Can you guarantee that everyone will be willing to come back and retake
the exam?!â
Gritting her teeth, Cherise didnât dare to meet her teacherâs
gaze.
âIâ¦..â
Seeing Cheriseâs nervous look, the teacher rubbed her temples stressfully. âTalking to you is pointless.
Call your guardian and get them here. Iâll talk to them!â
Then, the teacher stomped away angrily. âIf they donât come today, you should. stay here until they
come!â
Cherise lifted her head. My guardianâ¦. I canât let my uncle, aunt, and grandma know I caused trouble
at school. Moreover, if they came and saw the injury on my leg, theyâd surely be worried.
Suddenly, someone flashed in her mind â a face with eyes covered by black silk.
She turned around to look at Lucy. âLucy, do you think⦠my husband can be considered a guardian?â

In the Shaw Groupâs headquarters, the atmosphere in the cold, solemn meeting room was suffocating.
Every attendee attentively listened to the reports while taking notes.
Damien, dressed in black, sat at the head of the table. His eyes were covered with black. silk, but his
domineering aura couldnât be concealed.
The woman who was doing a presentation glanced at him the third time. Her voice was trembling.
âSir⦠what do you think about this proposal?â
Just then, Damienâs phone rang. He took up his phone. A hint of gentleness came upon his
face when he saw the incoming caller ID. âWhy are you calling at this hour?â
Cherise sounded a bit guilty on the other end of the line. âHubby, I⦠got into trouble at school. My
teacher asked me to get my guardian. Can you come?â
A smile surfaced on Damienâs cold face. âDo you consider me your guardian?â
Following the manâs deep voice, there was a pin-drop silence in the meeting room. Everyone was
staggered.
Since the last time Cherise kissed him in public, this was the second time they had witnessed such an
astonishing moment! The usually solemn boss answered a call during. the meeting! And his tone was
extremely gentle! What shocking news!
âHmmâ¦â
Cherise pressed her lips. âA guardian can be anyone in the family older than me.â
