Chapter 2
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 2 A Bathing Video
Cherise was confused, thinking Damien couldnât see anything. âCan you bathe yourself if I leave?â
Damien didnât answer, but the atmosphere grew colder. Realizing that Damien might be annoyed,
Cherise timidly took the bath scrub and left. âBe careful, alright? Call me if you need anything!â After
leaving the bathroom, Cherise became restless and unconsciously glanced at the door. The floor is
slippery. What if he accidentally falls? What if he falls and dies? Iâve just gotten married and donât
wanna be a widow so soon⦠Just as Cheriseâs mind was running wild, her phone rang. Lucy Staber,
her best friend, sent her a video titled âRevision Materialsâ. Revision materials? Why did she send me
this when the final exams are still far off? Cherise wondered as she clicked into the video. âMmâ¦
Ahhâ¦â To her shock, what came into sight was a woman pressing against a man! At once, Cherise
blushed to the root of her hair. In a panic, she wanted to close the video, but her knock-off phone froze
at that very moment, and she couldnât switch it off no matter how she tried! Suddenly, the bathroom
door opened. When Damien heard the erotic sound, his face darkened. âWhat are you doing?â Cherise,
who was already sweating nervously, almost dropped her phone on the floor, frightened by Damienâs
sudden appearance. Flustered, she shoved her phone under the blanket. The volume became smaller,
but the woman in the video moaned more passionately. âYouâ¦â Damien stared sternly at Cherise. âI-
Iâm watching a bathing video!â Cherise pressed the blanket forcefully, hoping to cover the sound. A
shadow fell across Damienâs countenance. âA bathing video?â âYeah.â Cherise sat on the blanket,
nervously wiping the sweat from her forehead. âIt was a man giving a woman a rubdown. The woman
was so comfortable that she moaned.â Damien was rendered speechless. Not only does she think Iâm
blind, but she probably also thinks Iâm dumb. There was a pin-drop silence in the room beside the
womanâs muffled voice that emerged from under the blanket. Dressed in her sleepwear, Cherise
pressed onto the blanket in an awkward position. The warm, yellow light shed on her fair skin, exuding
an alluring aura. Damienâs breath grew heavier, and his eyes darkened. Beads of perspiration covered
Cheriseâs forehead. She never knew pressing on a soft blanket could get this tiring! Fortunately, the
video ended after a while. Cherise wiped away her sweat and took out the overheating phone from the
blanket. Damien sat down at the edge of the bed and gazed at her with a half-smile. âHas the video
ended?â Cherise wore an awkward smile. âYeah⦠Indeed, itâs not good to scrub too hard when
bathingâ¦â Damien made no comments. Cherise immediately deleted the video and angrily messaged
Lucy. âYou almost got me into trouble!â Lucy replied instantly. âCome on. Iâm being helpful!â âIsnât your
husband disabled? I especially found this video for you. Have you picked it up?â Cheriseâs face
reddened. âGo to hell!â Since Damien was blind, Cherise didnât excuse herself when texting Lucy. As a
result, Damien could clearly read their conversation. âMy phone froze just as I was about to close the
video. And he heard it!â âHe asked me what I was doing. I barely managed to lie my way out!â Damien
continued remaining silent. âHaha! Cherry, Iâm laughing so hard right now!â âYou devil!â âThe first night is
precious. I shall not disturb you and your handsome blind husband any longer!â Damien frowned.
Handsome blind husband? What an unflattering address. Taking a deep breath, Cherise put down her
phone and looked at Damien. âLetâs begin.â Damien stared at her but said nothing. Cherise clenched
her fists. She had known this man for less than twenty-four hours and knew he didnât like her. Butâ¦
Sarah Miles, her aunt, had said it was a must during their first night. Otherwise, they wouldnât be happy
for the rest of their marriage! She pounced onto Damien and encircled his neck with her arms, clumsily
kissing his cold lips. Her tongue ventured into his mouth and awkwardly touched his like a kid sucking a
jelly stick. Damienâs expression grew somber. Cherise looked serious and focused as she was
determined to complete the task. Damien placed his hands on her waist. âWill you regret it?â Blushing,
Cherise shook her head. âI wonât. Youâre my husband.â A tinge of tenderness appeared in Damienâs
eyes as he gazed at the girl. âAre you afraid of pain?â He asked in a deep voice, restraining his
emotions. âNo.â Cherise pursed her lips and wanted to press forward, but Damien grasped her wrist.
âItâs better for the man to take the lead.â ⦠The next morning, the two servants who were in charge of
preparing breakfast arrived at the Lenoir Residence sleepily. âThe new Mrs. Lenoir looks ignorant, while
Mr. Lenoir is blind and disabled. I wonder if last night was smooth for them.â âI guess so. The
bodyguards on duty last night said they heard Mrs. Lenoir making some noises.â âAt first, she was
really loud. Later, it seemed like she hid under the blanket, but the moaning was still passionate.â
âReally? She seemed quite innocent. Who knowsâ¦â The servants gossiped as they walked toward the
kitchen. âGood morning!â The spectacled young lady, who wore a pink apron, cheerfully put two cups of
chocolate drinks on the dining table. âYou came so early!â The atmosphere turned awkward as the two
servants exchanged glances. After confirming Cherise didnât hear their conversation, they quickly
walked over to help Cherise. âGood morning, Mrs. Lenoir. Youâre up so early.â Grinning, Cherise
glanced at the clock and said, âItâs not that early. Itâs already past six!â In fact, she got up slightly later
than usual because she hadnât slept well last night. The servants were flustered, thinking Cherise was
complaining about them being late. They hurried to prepare breakfast but found out that a variety of
food was already served. There were hard-boiled eggs, oatmeals, and a few golden pancakes. The
servants were shocked. âMrs. Lenoir, theseâ¦â âI made them! Iâm not sure what Damien likes, so I just
prepared something similar to what I usually prepare for my grandmother.â Then, she pushed the
pancakes to the servants. âI didnât know you guys would come so early, so I didnât prepare yours. You
can have this first. Iâll make more.â
