Chapter 203
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 203 What Have I Done?
It was a night filled with confusion. Before heading to Lennonâs, Damien thought he was ready to come
clean with Cherise. He was naive to believe that everything was under control.
He hadnât imagined he would get worked up and become disoriented, causing him to deviate from his
initial plan.
He raised his hand and gently ruffled her head. âCherry.â
âDamien, you lied to meâ¦â
Even in her sleep, Cherise was restless, gritting her teeth and muttering in her dreams.
Damien sighed, removed her clothes, and slipped under the covers, holding her. âItâs my fault.â
âI shouldnât have lied to you.
âI should have told you earlier.â
âYou jerk!â
âYes, Iâm a jerk.â
âI wonât forgive youâ¦â
âThen Iâll behave well and wait for your forgivenessâ¦â
ââ¦â
The voice of the sleeping woman was slightly muddled. âI think Iâm starting to fall in love with
youâ¦
Damien, holding Cheriseâs arm, paused for a moment.
After a while, he tightened his 7 on her arm. âMe too.â
And like that, Damien held her, listened to her slumber-induced chatter, and closed his eyes.
Just as Damien was on the verge of falling asleep while holding Cherise, the phone in her pocket.
buzzed. He furrowed his brow, retrieved Cheriseâs phone, and was about to silence it when he noticed
a familiar name: lan Philips. Almost instinctively, he opened the message.
Hey, Cherry, donât forget our bet. Have you tested Damienâs eyes? Can he see? Remember not to
underestimate him.â
Damienâs grip on the phone tightened.
He knew. He knew Cherise wouldnât suddenly start doubting his sight and even resort to this lame
1/2
idea to test him. It turned out that lan was the instigator.
Damien sneered and deleted the message. After erasing it, he contemplated for a moment and blocked
lanâs number on Cheriseâs phone before he went to bed contentedly and snuggled up to
his wife.
That night, Cherise slept soundly.
The following morning, with the rising sun, Cherise opened her eyes. She instinctively pushed away the
manâs arm draped over her, stretched lazily, and wanted to get out of bed to freshen up and make
breakfast.
However, when she got out of bed and surveyed the room, she noticed that the decor was⦠different.
Her mind froze for a few seconds before fully comprehending everything that had transpired the
previous night!
Where am I? Is this Lennonâs house? Then, the person in the bedâ¦
A sense of panic surged within her!
Had she, in a drunken haze, done anything out of the track with Lennon last night?
Cherise was in full-blown panic mode!
As far as she could recollect, she had only been drinking with Lennon last night because she was
distraught about the truth about Damienâs eyes!
She involuntarily looked down at her skimpy tank top and panties, her only garments.
Tears welled up in her eyes! She had been undressed!
Did she actually⦠have intercourse with Lennon?
Cherise felt her nose tingle. She had only had a bit of alcohol last night because she was troubled.
about Damienâs eyes!
How could this have happened? How was she going to face Damien? She didnât even dare to lift the
covers and find out who this man wasâ¦.
Anxious, she ruffled her hair, hastily donned her clothes from the floor, and quickly tied her hair into a
ponytail.
She then threw on a coat and left the room. In the dining room downstairs, Blake was savoring his
breakfast.
