Chapter 138
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 138 You Hurt His Heart
Cherise was rendered speechless, while Lucy was shocked.
Even so, Cherise was unconvinced by his excuse.
She could not forget what Violet said, âDo you know what happened to his eyes?â
Violet would not have asked the question if she only wanted to say that Damien was blind.
âLetâs go.â
Seeing her in a daze, Damien pulled her into his embrace. He planned to bring her downstairs in his
wheelchair as he had done many times before.
But Cherise refused insistently and removed herself from his embrace.
âWe shouldnât do this here.â
Cherise breathed in and continued, âYou canât see.â
Damien sensed something wrong with Cherise tonight.
He frowned and did not speak.
Mr. Kolson tried to soothe her. âMrs. Lenoir, Mr. Lenoir had carried you previously. He also could not
see then, and you were safe.â
Cherise pursed her lips.
Heâs right. Damien also couldnât see when he carried me previously.
Yet, he could hold me with one hand while controlling the wheelchair with his other hand. He never
bumped into anything.
âForget it. My wife is unwilling to let me hold her.â
Damien noticed Cheriseâs hesitation and turned the wheelchair around to leave.
Cherise stood still and watched him go with conflicting emotions.
Mr. Kolson frowned and glanced at Cherise. âMrs. Lenoir, whatâs wrong with you?â
this
âMr. Lenoirâs won the negotiation tonight and helped Shaw Group secure its biggest order
year. He thought you would be happy to hear the news. Thatâs why he rushed here to wait for you right
after the negotiationâ¦â

âThen, Mr. Lenoir discovered you were in Viopril Palace with your friends. He did not want to disturb
your spending time with friends and knew you wouldnât want them to see him. Thatâs why he waited
here for you.â
âHe didnât even want to send anyone to inform you that he was waitingâ
âYet, you returned with such an attitude. First, you forbid Mr. Lenoir from touching your neck. Then, you
refused to let him embrace youâ¦â
âIf I were him, I would be despondent. You hurt his feelingsâ¦â
Mr. Kolson had never spoken so much to Cherise before.
Cherise was shocked by those words and fell into a daze.
Is⦠that true?
Lucy frowned and pushed Cherise slightly. âWhat are you thinking? Your husband is angry. What are
you waiting for? Go coax him now!â
Cherise staggered from Lucyâs push and returned to her senses. She ran in the direction that Damien
had left.
Lucy watched Cherise disappear before turning to Mr. Kolson. âYour boss must have paid. you a high
salary.â
Mr. Kolson said many good things about Damien and stirred up sentiments for him. He even added that
he would be sad if he were in Damienâs position.
This man is not a driver. Heâs a gifted orator!
In response to Lucyâs question, Mr. Kolson smiled and answered, âMy salary is not much.â
He paused and continued, âBut I should get a lot of bonus this month.â
When Cherise rushed downstairs, Damien entered the car with Blakeâs help.
She stopped the door from closing and jumped into the car, plopping herself down on the
seat.
Damien was expressionless as he faced forward. âMrs. Lenoir, you donât have to force yourself. If
youâre unwilling to share a car with a blind man like me, I can arrange another. one for you.â

Cherise panted and leaned into the leather seat while patting her chest. âDear, I was wrong.â
Damien frowned slightly. âWhat have you done wrong, Mrs. Lenoir?â
His deep and charming voice carried a hint of self-derision. At the same time, he sounded. forlorn. âI
understand that you donât want to be with me.â
Cherise was rendered speechless.
