Chapter 206 Afraid You’d Feel Awkward

“Taking my wife to school is perfectly acceptable,” the man said in his deep voice. “as for the matter of

my eyes…”

“Last night, I had Jacob issue a statement,” he continued, “explaining that my eyes were healed during

the time I spent in the countryside.”

Jacob had devised a more comprehensive, flawless plan for the announcement. Initially, that was the

plan he had intended to go with. After all, Jacob had already arranged for overseas ophthalmologists to

participate in the charade.

But after what Cherise had put him through last night, he wasn’t willing to wait, not even for a

week.

If someone like lan could figure out the truth about his eyes, it was only a matter of time before.

Raymond and the others did, too..

Instead of waiting for them to catch on, Damien decided to reveal the truth himself because, at this

juncture, no one in the Lenoir family had the means to threaten him.

Cherise pursed her lips and responded, “Oh.”

She felt somewhat let down. She hadn’t even given Damien a chance to explain, and he had already

made this matter public. And she had only learned the secret less than twenty-four hours. ago, and it

was no longer a secret.

Soon, they arrived at the school. Cherise exited the car, carrying her backpack as she entered the

campus.

“Hey, Cherry, I heard your husband’s eyes were cured by the doctor in your hometown.”

During lunch, Lucy sat across from her, grinning slyly. “So, the handsome blind man isn’t blind.

anymore. You must be thrilled, right?”

“That doctor from your hometown seems talented. Why don’t we invite him to our school as a lecturer?”

“Your husband was blind for over ten years, and now he can see again!”

Cherise couldn’t help but pursed her lips. This topic never failed to put her in a bad mood. She toyed

with her food, poking at it with her fork as she replied, “It’s not about the doctor. In fact, he didn’t lose

his sight in the first place.”

Lucy blinked in surprise. Lowering her voice, she asked, “Huh? Your husband… How could he not have

been blind?”

“But he really wasn’t blind,” Cherise sniffled. “I only found out about this last night.”

Lucy hesitated for a moment. “So… He kept this a secret from everyone, including you?”

“It’s not that he kept it from everyone,” Cherise said with a bitter smile. “the person we saw at the

Viopril Palace last time, Violet, knew the truth.”

“I was the only one in the dark about the truth.”

Lucy pursed her lips, gazing at Cherise’s sad eyes and her forlorn expression. “I think… In Damien’s

heart, you’re definitely more important than Violet.”

“Violet has been in a coma for so long, and Damien hasn’t even gone to see her!”

“Doesn’t that indicate he doesn’t care about Violet?”

“But…”

The more Cherise spoke, the more distressed she felt. “If Violet isn’t significant, why did she know

secrets hidden from me?”

“I also know that he started pretending over ten years ago. He couldn’t have told me the truth when we

first met.

“But we’ve been married for so long. We’ve shared everything and should know the kind of person I

am. Why wouldn’t he tell me?” Cherise exclaimed. “If I hadn’t revealed the truth last night, how long did

he plan to keep lying to me?”

Lucy furrowed her brow. “Maybe… it’s just awkward for him to say?”

Cherise pursed her lips. “What could be so awkward?”

Lucy cleared her throat and continued, “Because… he was afraid you’d feel awkward.”

Cherise gave her a stern look. “Why would I feel awkward?”

Lucy responded, “You would.”

She gazed into Cherise’s innocent gaze and began marking dates on her phone’s calendar.
