Chapter 237
Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 237 I Donât Want to Be President
Damien glanced at the cell phone. âIt isnât time yet.â
Cherise looked up at him, perplexed. âWhat do you mean?â
The man pulled her into an embrace and kissed her. âThis matter has yet to evolve into its final stage.â
âIâve never liked to fight unnecessary wars.â
Cherise lifted her hands and put them around his neck. Her dark, large eyes looked at him as she
blinked. âI still donât understand.â
âYou donât have to.â
The man reached out to tap her nose. âBut thereâs been trouble brewing at the company lately.â
Damien raised his hands to squeeze her soft cheeks. âUncle Raymond tampered with that batch of
goods. Iâm going on a business trip to the neighboring town tomorrow to find a suitable factory for
subcontract work.â
Although Cherise couldnât grasp business dealings much, she evidently understood what he
meant.
There was a problem with the project that Raymond and Tristan had discussed with Damien at home.
She pursed her lips. âIs the problem severe?â
âNo.â
The man smiled and stroked her hair. âDonât worry, Ms. Shaw. Iâll ensure you can manage the company
well.â
Cherise flattened her lips. She looked at him slightly shyly. âActually, I know everythingâ¦â
Damien had initially invested in Randallâs company. Randall was sensible and immediately transferred
his company to Cheriseâs name when he saw that his daughter had offended Cherise.
On the one hand, Damien wouldnât raise difficult questions. On the other hand, he had used such a
unique way to flatter Cherise.
It was also because he was too resourceful as a father that Cressa had yet to be punished severely
even after she had done so many bad things.
On the surface, Randall had given the company to Cherise. But actually⦠he was just returning it to
the rightful owner.

Dannen smiled and squeezed her face. âEven if he returned the company to the rightful owner. youâre
the president of Shaw Group, Mrs. Lenoir.â
Cherise pressed her lips together. âActually, I donât want to be president.â
âYou want to be a doctor.â
Damien spoke aloud the thoughts in her heart.
The man raised his hands to hug her. âBut I originally planned on giving Shaw Group to you as a
marriage present.â
âSince Iâm being so sincere, can you please be president for a while even if youâre feeling reluctant,
Mrs. Lenoir?â
Cherise pursed her lips and didnât say anything.
Cherise needed to recuperate, so Damien didnât let her stay up too late. He carried her upstairs at nine
oâclock at night.
After her shower, the man gently placed her on the bed.
Cherise looked up at him pitifully. âIâm not sleepy.â
The man took off the slippers on her feet gracefully. âYou must sleep even if youâre not sleepy.â
The girlâs tiny face wrinkled. âI canât sleep.â
The man gently tied her dried hair loosely with a hair tie. âYou must sleep even if you canât sleep.â
âStay with me.â
She reached out her delicate hand, and it crept around his waist. âYouâre going on a business trip.
tomorrow. You must sleep early, too.â
She didnât believe Damien, who always slept late, could fall asleep now!
How can he ask me to sleep if he canât fall asleep?
The womanâs tender and soft arm circled his waist. Damienâs eyes dimmed slightly.
He resisted his bodyâs impulses and shifted her soft arm away. âAlright. Iâll stay with you.â
After that, he lay by her side and held her in his arms.
She smelled his crisp scent in her nose and heard his shallow breathing in her ears.
It made it harder for Cherise to fall asleep.
She squirmed in his arms.
